Haven’t used Uber in years. We have better alternatives, cheaper alternatives, and alternatives that will not leave you with a funky taste in your mouth.

I don’t know how’s the company track record these days, but I’d rather spend my money elsewhere, if possible. I still remember all the shitty things they did. Maybe they still do.

Today, I could have used a scooter, I was carrying hot take away food, and would shave a few minutes off my walk.

The only ones available were Lime/Uber. I opened the app, checked if the account was active and Apple Pay selected as payment method, and tried to unlock the scooter.

I had to top up my Wallet. Why? I do not know. Ok, I’ll do it. It then told me I needed to confirm my account, with my national ID. Why? I do not know.

By then I was fuming, and our meal not so much anymore. I gave up.

Walked home. Exercised a bit. Saved some money. Deleted the app.

I call this a win-win-win-win situation. Thanks, Uber. Bye, Uber.
