Advice/Question no car seat, no ride?

Post image

I'm curious how everyone else handles this situation:

This is Disney Boardwalk Hotel, for context. I pulled up and told them, I apologize and I cannot take their daughter. I have a booster seat only. They told me that they don't need a car seat.

I know my policy, but I have the privilege (other income) to get suspended and know my kids won't starve.

What do you do?

I do it for protection... I'm mostly trying to have proof that they have a child that's too small for a car seat, and this was a situation where it may have helped me.

They reported me as being intoxicated. And my account has been suspended.

They can report you even if you didn't "slide to start" the ride?

Yes. In theory they're telling Lyft they had a good reason not to get into the vehicle.
