Pre covid, I needed an Uber pool to go a few miles. We go halfway and wait for his other pick up. We sit and wait the seven minutes or whatever. The person never comes. So I eventually get dropped off.... And then Uber charges me the full rate. So not only did I arrive at least seven minutes later than I should have, but I paid MORE than agreed for the pleasure.
Being (justifiably) upset about 7 minutes late and having to pay the full rate shows how far we've come from taxis of a couple decades ago.
