I had to use this service one time, to pick up my wife from the hospital in the middle of the night. The guy never even picked her up and I still had to pay 50 goddamn dollars. Fuck this company.

Did you try to sue them or get a refund?

[–] doggle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Sue? For $50?!

It could easily cost $5000 in legal fees just to take them to court!

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Lol what no. It took months of un subscribing to get them out of my inbox too though, it was ridiculous.

It's not about money, it's more about making it sure that they will never do that again to others.

That's a lot of words for "yes"

[–] spiderman@ani.social 4 points 1 year ago

It's not about money. It's about making them either accept a ride or just deny it. What would you do if an uber driver just accepts your ride and decides to dump you with your money taken by him during some critical time like going to hospital for some emergency or have to catch up a flight or train in the eleventh hour? Will you laugh it off and try catching up another uber?

Why spend another $50 in time lost just to get nothing? That's insult to injury. :-D

Spite is a powerful motivator.
