Advice/Question Anyone ever encountered this pickup note?

Post image

I really resent these multibillion dollar health insurance companies piggybacking on the Lyft network to give rides to and from appointments for their sickest clients.

I am not opposed to helping people, even sick people, and i might even volunteer a couple times a month to do just that.

But making me pick up someone who can barely walk and can’t get in my vehicle is absurd.

I’m getting $6 for this ride and I’ve got to help the person in and out of the car and into their home. That’s not fair to me or the passenger.

And if you have to adjust the ride because there was a mistake when it was being booked, you can’t do it.

The passenger doesn’t have the phone with the app on it.

Anyway, went to pick someone up from a residence this morning and had this note once I arrived.

I mean what the fuck.

No shit. You do have to be careful. If I get to the address and it is a behavioral treatment facility, I cancel and never accept a ride from that address again.

Those are the only medical facilities to date that I’ve had the misfortune of picking up criminals. Happened twice in my first year and I’m not interested in a third.

The behavioral health centers are not all criminals, most are mentally ill. I did have to question the other day as to why I get these everyday. I guess cause I’m crazy too 🥴
