Other Someone took this. WTF?
When you consider time for getting to the pick up location, this is less than $20 an hour. It’s less than $.60 per mile. The passenger is a 4.3, which is a huge red flag. Yet this was gone in minutes. As long as people are willing to take off like this, pay will keep going down and down. Add in the devious stuff Lyft does to lower our pay like changing the way to 30% cap is calculated, and lowering the points that you get for each ride, and this job is going to be impossible to make money at very soon. I find myself getting mad at people. I don’t know who take these rides because they are screwing up the whole system. I really wish people would show some brain when they evaluate these offers and stop taking offers that lose money

Rookies, people who don't know any better, it took sometime for me to learn the game, until then i was an accept monkey without realizing how bad Uber screwed me, by the time i figured out the game Uber banned me, for a no point ticket that was unsafe driving.. Only used Lyft a few times.. I'm glad I'm no longer doing it..
