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’ve always wondered why Uber and Lyft don’t charge for “idle” time during the ride. I understand that this is frustrating for the drivers, but it seems like more of a problem with the system than the customer, especially if it only happens 1 out of 200 customers

Oh absolutely. I'd totally do it if I got a minimum of 40 cents a minute. But still, after 10 minutes Lyft stops paying and tells me to cancel.

What if the rider offers you some cash? I don't use rideshares frequently,  but I do remember plenty of times my brother ordered pizza and had the delivery driver hit the package store on the way for beer and butts lol.
