[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1)  Did you have a good time at Grandma's?

2)  If Gran lived in Pennsylvania, and you were bored Saturday night, could you go out and get some Uber riders in PA?  Or are you tied to one location only?

3)  Do you have a celebrity doppelganger?[/quote]

1) Grandma's was great.  You can't get this on Easter in DC:

2) If Grandma lived in Pennsylvania, I could not give uberX rides there.  If Grandma lived in Cumberland, MD or Eastern Shore, I could do uberX there.  As a "DC" uberX driver I am approved to pick-up in the ENTIRE state of Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia with a southwestern border of a rough straight line from Winchester, to Culpeper to Fredericksburg to Tappahannock.

3) My celebrity doppelgänger would be, ummm, Bret Baier?  That's a generic white guy that comes to mind.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you tap into Under eats? [/quote]
He already said "No," as he only works during hours when Surge is activated. The margins are too low for a driver doing Uber Eats.
From my standpoint, Uber Eats looks like a giant time suck - drive to pick up the food, drive to drop off food, get out of car, etc. I think the driver only ends up with $8 or something like that. No way is that a good use of time for a driver. Plus, it seems extremely stressful.[/quote]
It looks like a great way to get a shitload of parking tickets.[/quote]
Both answers are are correct.  Drivers are already complaining about what a shit deal uberEATS is.  Paying right at $10/hr, but uber is bumping it up by subsidizing it to $15/hr guaranteed to keep drivers interested.  I'd need $25/hr guaranteed to even think about slow-rolling food deliveries all around town, otherwise, I'll drive passengers only.

[quote=Anonymous]Can you see what any individual rider rates you?[/quote]

No, never.  A driver will NEVER find out what you rated them, so please feel free to rate all your drivers accordingly.  Ratings are quickly becoming meaningless for the driver anyways.  This is an attempt to keep as many drivers on the road as possible, no matter how bad (a driver in the low 4s is pretty bad).  Uber figures as long as a ride is completed from Point A-B as quickly as possible without an accident or ticket, then the job is done.  Ratings given out by drivers already mean nothing for the passenger.[/quote]
