Pros and cons
You gotta get deals on the side where you don’t go through Uber and get cash

23,742 rides and counting. JJ's actually spot on here. You need to undercut Uber and Lyft and cut out the middleman and deal directly with the customer. More money in your pocket and the customer still gets a ride. As far as this article is concerned it's always been this way. You need to be choosy about which rides you accept

Almost all of them do. Generally liquor stores give around 20 bucks, dispensaries give around 15 and the strip clubs vary in their price per head anywhere from $10 to $50 depending on the club

Yes I do use that app. Restaurants not so much, massage parlors used to years ago before a lot of them got raided. Now I'm actually unsure of the ones that do

Bobby, I know a guy in Vegas that does DoorDash. He says he hates to go to the casinos because it's such a hassle getting to the restaurants.

Do you do any DoorDash?

Is it a hassle getting to the casinos for Uber/Lyft?

Give us one crazy story for all those rides, has to be something that sticks out.

Ever scared or concerned about a passenger or a location you picked up from/dropped off at?

I'm still waiting to hear about a rider using Uber as a getaway car from a bank robbery

Might be too long to type, make a video

Good question. I have been wanting to ask about this also. You must have some stories I'm sure.

I'm hoping he has a story of some hot chick flashing him from the back seat.

Bobby should do video interviews with interesting customers who agree to participate. Start his own reality show.

Maybe when doing food reviews from his vehicle he could offer customers to sample and give their opinion of his meal.

They could share a cup of noodles from Del Taco.

No Doordash/Food Delivery. It's not worth the small amount of money they pay for a delivery. No hassles at all as far as Uber/Lyft is concerned

You are saying you don't get a few crazies every once in a while? I'm surprised to hear that.
