FREE NOW St.Patrick's Week

[silverbullet]

I wasn't questioning whether drivers could opt out, only why they would when payment is guaranteed?

The quality of the punter?

I turned on me accept cash jobs on fuknow an uber today in desperation .... I got 3 fuknow cash jobs / 2 account

  No cash jobs on uber ....
Maybe fuknow apes lost trust in fn wit all the robbin an thieving an are switchin to cash?

[Rat Catcher]

Possibly. I guess they can't collect the "premium services" fees on cash jobs?

I was in the habit of heavily marking down Freenow cash jobs on the app by as much as 50% but eventually they just stopped sending me work.

Yeah, I know. But they're generally for chopping up the Coke. I was talking about bank cards.

*generally*

If you mention "Paddy Blue-Eyes" when heading to Cara Park, you'll usually get paid. He does security on the Darndale Resource Centre.

Don't do that, generally speaking you will get away with it, but if'n one customer whom needs an email receipt puts in a complaint, then they will rigoursely go back through your cash jobs history and most likely ban you fer life.

I witnessed it happening in the Cork MyTaxi office a few years ago, it was most unpleasant to watch.

[Belker]

Might help alright, SB. Not sure why a driver would opt out. Unlike Free Now, Uber is guaranteeing payment on behalf of it's cash clients.

I don't do app Cash jobs by night, reasons being that they are generally a lot messier that Account jobs.
I would have no problem doing them by day, obviousely avoiding the known trouble spots.

What are they going to do stop giving me work?Up until yesterday my Freenow work has been fairly insignificant.I always tell the passengers what I'm doing and if they don't like it that's their problem.

I'll be out working tomorrow morning early as usual and I won't get Freenow offer for hours while Uber is hopping.This has been going on for weeks Belker.

The reason we sign up to multiple apps is so they can't screw our wages when we fall out with them.Freenow is finished as far as I can see and it won't be long before Cork follows Dublin.

Have your other apps ready to go in case you need them.All it takes is one passenger compliant to get you knocked off the app and you're back queuing on the ranks.

.... I watched on this morning as a driver at the Cork FN office got a life time ban fer under declaring cash jobs, now I have no idea of how many previous warnings he got from FN but on over hearing he had done it many numerous times on FN cash jobs and he was politely shown the door and told that his FN app would never be switched back on.

The life time FN ban seemed a bit harsh to me, but then I don't know the entire history of how many warning he had previously received from FN. Maybe 6 months or a year suspended from the FN app would have been a better punishment and then monitor him very closely.

I thought that he was gonna Kick-off and wreck the place but thankfully he didn't and left placidly, prob had a piss in the elevator on the way down !
