report to uber, get refund

2019-03-04 19:15:25 UTC  

ez

2019-03-04 19:15:37 UTC  

I'm already writing the email

2019-03-04 19:15:44 UTC  

probably got a friend to write his cv/resume and lied in it

2019-03-04 19:16:00 UTC  

But why would people choose to ride people around a city if they have no way at all, to communicate?

2019-03-04 19:16:10 UTC  

There are other jobs you could do in that situation

2019-03-04 19:16:18 UTC  

because taxi services are the go-to for immigrants

2019-03-04 19:16:23 UTC  

And I doubt uber pays that well that you would want to take that risk

2019-03-04 19:16:42 UTC  

well hes an immigrant, so he doesnt know the word risk

2019-03-04 19:16:51 UTC  

I'm an immigrant, too

2019-03-04 19:16:51 UTC  

and probably doesnt have that much to lose

2019-03-04 19:17:06 UTC  

From one shitskin to another, you couldn't find common ground?

2019-03-04 19:17:08 UTC  

I mean hes a further-off immigrant probably

2019-03-04 19:17:20 UTC  

was he a turk or something

2019-03-04 19:17:41 UTC  

I thought so, and I can talk very basic Turkish because I used to date a Turkish girl for years

2019-03-04 19:17:52 UTC  

But he didn't even speak Turkish

2019-03-04 19:17:57 UTC  

Sounded similar though

2019-03-04 19:18:05 UTC  

Maybe some weird Turk dialect

2019-03-04 19:18:22 UTC  

Bizzare

2019-03-04 19:18:32 UTC  

Maybe it was Kurdish

2019-03-04 19:18:44 UTC  

turkurdish~

2019-03-04 19:19:00 UTC  

iirc uber is fairly strict about language and quality requirements

2019-03-04 19:19:56 UTC  

@Julian it is. But you have to get caught being shitty first. They'll let Any one START driving

2019-03-04 19:20:16 UTC  

dont you need to do *any* sort of interview?

2019-03-04 19:20:23 UTC  

Lol no

2019-03-04 19:20:37 UTC  

Uber still denies that their drivers are even employees

2019-03-04 19:21:10 UTC  

They're "independent contractors" that are matched with potential customers through the app :^^^^^^^^^)

2019-03-04 19:21:33 UTC  

get your own car

2019-03-04 19:21:38 UTC

Dear Sir or Madam

As you can see from my Uber account, I've spent a total of 6700 CHF on Uber since I first discovered it 2 years ago, without a single complaint or having received a bad rating.

Sadly, I have to change this today because I had a fairly bad experience. Please note my ride from Zurich main station to Oerlikon. The driver was completely unable to communicate in any language commonly understood in Switzerland (I tried German, Italian, French and English) and spent about 15 minutes taking wrong turns that I ended up being charged for.

This isn't the first time that I have had such a difficulty to communicate with a driver, but it is the first time that it caused me to be late for an important appointment.

Please refund me part of the trip that was taken unnecessarily. Also, if I may provide feedback as an Uber fan and heavy user, please improve the quality check on your drivers.

Best Regards

Porco

2019-03-04 19:24:58 UTC
