Yesterday I completed two trips and I earned a little under $40.00.
I was happy to make anything. Because I thought Uber was throttling me for telling the truth
on the internet. No body likes the truth anymore. I got a request to take someone to the airport
(TPA) and when I arrived the lady was pissed off because she ordered an UberXL which as anyone knows,
I drive a Prius for Uber and I have never driven an XL vehicle. A lot of people do not understand how
much room there is in a Prius. So I told her I just get a request and go to it, I do not know what
is requested by who. I advised her she could cancel and wait for an XL to come or I could definitely
fit her luggage in my car and take all three of them to the airport now. She opted to go with me
and I calmed her down (even though she had been drinking) on the way to the airport I got to thinking
the day before that, I was thinking Uber was throttling me for telling the truth I went to a location
in Gulfport, Florida and picked up a party of 4 and I told them when a 5th person tried to get in that
I could take no more than 4 people and I sent a note out before I got there that stated that in it.
The guy (number 5) was actually cool about it. He said he would just wait for another UberX. So I
chatted into Uber (because I hate calling them) and told them what happened both times and they
reclassified me as an UberX only. This happened to me before not the XL thing but they got mad
about my message sending as soon as I accept a request and the message Icon was completely removed
from the app, that completely shutdown my ability to start any type of messaging, It took away everything.
for example, it also took away my ability to say that I have arrived which I use all the time. I don’t
care that Uber sends out a notification that I have arrived, I need to send a message that I have arrived
so that it sends an in app message and a completely different type of sound IS ALSO made. Anyway, what was happening
this time is that I was not getting any large requests at all and I was limited to calls under $10.00
when I tried to accept large calls, they always said that that request is no longer available. I had to
take small calls and I had to allow drinks in my car (which I never do) and at the end of each full day
of this I would end up earning less than 40 bux which is a HUGE problem for me. So when I was reclassified
as an Uber X only, that fixed the problem completely. Yesterday, I got home around 8PM I had a lot
to do yesterday before I started driving I did not start until around 4PM. Anyway, got home around 8PM
I do 39 mins on the Peloton at night now because I changed my diet and I am getting fatter. So I finished riding
I took a quick shower, ate dinner, and went to my room and collapsed for the night. I didn’t blog, I didn’t
upload anything to TikTok, I just slept until this morning and now I am playing catchup lol.
