I can't believe people still use Uber

[Jake Stern]

77. I was introduced to Uber during one of those fun Denver snowstorms

The local buses were running at least an hour behind (sometimes more) and I was trying to get home from my retail job. Called for a taxi and was told "We'll be there in 15 minutes, tops!" Well 15 minutes went by and I called them only to be told "They're 10 minutes away".

This went on for over an HOUR until one of my co-workers told me about the Uber app so I downloaded it, signed up and requested a ride. About 10 minutes later a car pulls up and I was on my way home.

Heard from a co-worker a couple days later that the cab that I called for at 6:30 in the evening finally pulled up looking for me . . . at 9:15.

Called them up to ask how in the hell they could justify making someone wait almost 3 hours for a cab. They basically said that's not their problem and hung up.

I have refused to patronize cabs since.
