Picked up a lady at the Shell station at 2222 and Mopac. She said that another Uber driver had started the ride and then became upset about the amount of pay that he would be getting compared to what Uber was making off of the ride that was going to Lakeway. He offered to continue the ride for $25 cash. The rider stated that he was Cuban and could not speak English. I gladly took her to Lakeway.
A request popped up for $154 and upon looking further, it was a ride to Houston with the pick up even deeper into Lakeway. I finally made it to the pickup spot and the lady that was going to Houston changed her mind. The guy was cool and wanted to make sure I got some money for driving all the way out there. He went inside to get some cash and while he was gone I noticed that the ride was cancelled after it had been accumulating a waiting fee. The man returned and we agreed to just leave it at the $14 cancellation fee to cover things. Now, I had to drive all the way back into town without a paying rider.
Then a request came in not far from where I was, thus saving the day by now having a rider to take back onto town. First drop off at dirty 6th street at Coyote Ugly.
I had already received the next request and it was just a few hundred yards further up the street. Had some good laughs and upon dropping them off I was sure that I was over $100 for the day so I had already set for the app to log off. $99.50. Crap! Originally was going to stick with that amount but it just didn't set right with me, so I logged back in and immediately received a request.
I had a thought about how some people look stupid or ugly. If they are an asshole, it just makes them a stupid ugly asshole. If they are interesting to talk to and make you laugh, they can be fun to be around regardless of how they look or act.
