I have only used UBER once. I was Washington DC, and needed to get to a meeting. A nice man showed up right on time as the app said, and get me right to the destination. It was reasonable price and a nice car, nice driver. It was the type of experience Uber wishes all their customers would have.

One of my friends was in Savannah, GA recently and needed to catch a plane home. Savannah has no real commercial airport, so it is the Uber ride to Hilton Head. They placed the pickup call the evening before for a 4:00 AM pickup. They went downstairs and the driver was not there. They called and he was still in bed. The good news is another lady was going to the airport as well, so they just shared the ride.

My friend is a married lady and she had her husband with her for the trip. The lady that had the Uber ride was taken by surprise by the driver. He arrived on time in a nice car. But the guy was dressed in a full French Maid's dress and makeup. The lady that called the Uber said she would have never accepted the ride if the husband were not there. In the end, he was a good driver, and got them to the airport as scheduled.

If I were to drive for Uber, I now know what my uniform would be.
