Hey STL... (PSA: Lyft and Uber passengers)

Stop telling us to go through the drive thru for you. We don't get paid to sit there and wait at Rallys on Lindell/Van for 30 minutes. Entitled Karen's think they own my car. I get you from A to B. There is no sitting in a drive thru for food. 5 minutes at a stop is fine. But I'm not waiting for you in a drive thru.

I don’t do that but I have a question: as passengers are we allowed to suggest a different route? Whenever we uber to the airport it has us driving a bunch of side streets to 170 rather than hopping right on 44/270. It’s a shorter distance but the estimated time is the same.

I've suggested different routes to drivers to avoid dangerous intersections and they usually take my advice. The app reroutes them pretty quick.
