So now this is what it looks like for my work last night:
80% of the $700 I earned in 17 fares but no tips.
If I was heartless I could have made more; I should have never allowed the sky-high woman into my car as that took about 45 minutes of prime price-surge time. In the end, I didn't get a dime from her. Hope she's okay today.
Also, I could have easily ditched a couple of people who made me wait for more than 10 minutes (the recommended threshold for cancellation by Uber).
And I let one guy get out after only a couple of blocks after warning him about the higher charges; this was after going way out of my way to pick him up -- another 45 minutes or so wasted.
And although I can see that all the riders who rated me gave me a perfect 5, my rating is only 4.4 for some reason. Perhaps because I didn't take a couple of rides that popped up; they were at LAX and no way was I burning NYE circling that crazy place looking for one soul.
Interestingly, after I let two notices pass (you have to take it within 15 seconds or it goes to the next-closest available driver) they forced me off-line. It's actually a very good idea and I quickly learned just to go off-line if I got anywhere near the airport.
