Junk mail from Free Now:
Email notice to all driver regarding change of address and update to business name
Hi Stephen,
As you may have heard already FREE NOW have relocated to a brand new office location. This is a big moment for us, and is something we are really proud of. As always we want to bring you, our driver partners, with us along our journey.
Whether you are based in Dublin or the surrounding area or just find yourself in the city for the day, please feel free to drop into us and make use of our new facilities. We’re now located at 7-12 Baggot Court, Dublin 2, D02 F891.
You’ve known us as FREE NOW for the last few years - and we have now officially updated our registered business name to Free Now Ireland Limited (trading as FREE NOW).
If you have any questions, please reach out to us or pop into the new Driver Office.
Thank you for your attention,
The FREE NOW Team.

There's even less parking in Baggot court than there was on Mount street.They really should have an office with parking outside the city center by now.
-
Where's Baggot court?
-
If you're coming from the Northside, it's a 3 minute walk from bus stop #749 on the #39 route. HTH :D
-
Its…FREE NOW….but somebody is paying!!
-
"Alri.......where's the jax....burstin for a shite!!"
-
Can confirm,the Jax is an upgrade on Mount St

If you have any questions, please reach out to us or pop into the new Driver Office.

Maybe it's there ultra politically correct and overwhelming smiley face way of saying; "Fook off away from us, do your job and Fook off !", Maybe ??

Yeah Ken I haven't been in the office about 5/6 years They forced me to turn up to change my bank details.They have no reason to be in D2 where the rent is so high IMO.I suppose that's why they need 15% commission.Bolt is in town too.Uber do everything over the app.No need for an office in the city.

Plenty of office space in Jobstown West, or Saggart as developers would have you call it.

Maybe they are buying the property…as a investment?

I'd imagine all the taxis on Mount Street were bringing down the tone of the area. What with being across the road from Fine Gael HQ. Bring back Doctor Leo, Doctor Leo was great so he was... 8)

Does Leo want us to join NATO ?

aw for fuck's sake i can see it now.
confrontational knackers and dragged up bowsies openin their sewers at the other business owners on mount street.
i'd say there was a meeting after that last 15% fare increase protest on the street.
you're owa here they told freenow. like when the vigilante groups went after the smack dealers in the flats.
-
To be fair... without the protests we'd still be paying 15% freight.

Does the 2% less commission offered by BOLT as against FREE NOW compensate for the total lack of Tips or cash work on BOLT jobs?

I just don't find the work consistent from Bolt unlike FN,I got on a roll from Uber one day a couple of weeks back,a couple of €50 fares in there for good measure but again not consistent enough but supplemental.
-
It's pretty much 50-50 on my watch, Hal - generally 18:00-20:00 start until c.23:xx.

I'm not sure why you'd want to be compensated for a lack of cash but sitting around ignoring work in the hope of getting a tip doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Since Bolt increased commission to 13% it's been littered with 0% offers. In fact it was 0% all last week and so far this week.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, we'll leave it at that.

I guess cash flow could be an issue for you if relying on Free Now wages being paid on time. My Free Now wages for last week didn't arrive until 07:43 this morning. My commission free Bolt wages hit the bank at 13:50 on Monday as usual.

I forgot that was the Rugbly weekend until Erm posted about it.That's the same week they were giving out 50% discounts to certain passengers.No wonder they couldn't pay us on time.
-
Who won the rugby and who did they/"we" beat?
-
I think the Irish rugby team was playing the Italian rugby team.I believe 'we' won,according to the passengers.I prefer weekends when there is no big sporting events as it brings other drivers out on days that would have been already busy.
So my point is giving out freebies on busy weekends seems silly when they're low on cash to pay the wages.
-
So a team of professional sportsmen beat a collection of blokes probably randomly picked off a Rynair flight from Italy... and folk pay to watch that shite... the mind boggles!

I think they've lost their last 47 games straight in the 6 Nations. ::fuck
