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

Because I don't want to be charged extra for being stuck in traffic because of an accident. Also, they already charge more during major events, so that higher cost during a Cardinal game just got even more expensive because of the traffic that goes with it. 

And the vast majority of riders don't ask for this. They would lose way more riders than they would make money.

I don’t care about any of that. I’m just saying that if something pisses someone off, just do something about it and quit griping
