They are mercans.

Meercats?

The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

What's a mercan? Is that some kind of all powerful, supreme being, from another planet?

Try saying the word with a strong mercan accent. Wink | ;)

Ya, because it's the Mercan's who cannot spell. Laugh | :laugh:

If the Uber drivers are like most taxi drivers... they are NOT 'Mercans....
I walk by a taxi stand every day and have yet to hear a language I understand.

Richard MacCutchan8-Jan-16 4:38

That applies to all the taxi drivers round here also; but they are still nice people.

Have you actually called Uber and discussed all of this with them? I think red flags have gone off for you, so act on them. Call the company. Just my 2 cents.

I will be happy to do exactly what you have stated.

You give me the number of a living human at Uber, and I will call that number and speak to that living human the moment I see your response.

Requirements...

The human must be alive
The human must be an actual employee of Uber
The human must answer the phone
The human must speak American (in fact, any variant of it)
The human must be physically there on the line and speak with me in real time.

Uber does not have living speaking humans.

Uber does not have a phone.

Please, prove me wrong. (Please, please, ultra please)

Yesterday, I found a cab whose fare was lower than Uber's !

The other members here are watching.

They are reading.

They have seen what you and I have written.

What have they not seen ? A phone number.

I remain open to seeing that phone number.

You rest your case ? I remain the student. I have never seen a phone number for Uber to this day, and no one reading this thread has seen anyone produce one.

Slacker0078-Jan-16 7:53

8-Jan-16 7:53

Why would you do business with a company you can't contact by phone? Noobs, I say.

Don't use Uber. sheesh. do you get it now, student. Mad | :mad:

Bought a Monorail ticket

Two Days: $22

Broke even on my first day today.

I'm still kind of sad.

It worked stupendously back home.

Trip to airport, less than $10, nice guy, living speaking human, everything.

You know what's really going to astound me ? I'll probably get back home, and the app and system will work perfectly again.

C-P-User-39-Jan-16 7:40

Well, duh, I'm hardly the first to have difficulty finding a living speaking human at Uber[^]

IMHO, my opinion here...

If Uber and companies like Uber are to survive and thrive, in the long run, then they need to have an adequate customer service department. People NEED to speak to other people when there is a problem.

They want a picture of it?? Sounds like they're hoping you send a pic of the whole card.

Add to that the bad spelling and it's clear this is a phishing attempt.

If it's not broken, fix it until it is
