It is not easy at all .. I had an experince years ago at my place of work ...The customer, white woman o ..she was very upset at me and rude .. I just explain calmly to her the policy of the company.. And the reason why couldnt do what she wanted me to ....

Next day I saw her , she came and apologize to me. She said eventhough she was yelling at me . I was calm about it .. I told her no big deal at all ,and I was not upset. If I wanted to get a phone that day , she would have given it to me . But she is a guest, that is not allowed plus you don't mix business with pleasure....

Even if person want fight you .. They will check you out first to see if they can beat you..

You are right sir,
There's one that took my boss wife from international airport to Lekki, the guy clean up (nice face cap, white shirt, blue jean and a good canvas).
the woman was boiling because my boss kept her waiting for long (more than 3 hours) before I get there. The woman poured all her anger on the guy, I was just watching them, the slightest thing the woman will yell at the young man and all the guy will say is I'M SORRY MA. Me I was tired because from airport to Lekki was abuse upon abuse.

When we get home, the same guy asked me not to bother that he will offload the luggages, which he did to their flat (third floor).

After everything the woman asked him to come into the sitting room, offer him a seat.

She introduced herself to him (she's a nurse in Canada) then ask the driver if he is married and he said no.
The woman said that he is a good man with a good business mindset and a charming appearance.

To summarize the story, she gave the guy 10k for that trip
- she asked him to take her to Anambra the next day (drop off), after three days he went back for her (with her Range R)
- the three weeks vacation she came in Nigeria, its that guy that was her driver and he was earning 10k daily driving Range Rover around Lekki/Ikoyi. One or two trips a day.
- even when she travelled back she still call the guy and sent him some errands in Lagos/Anambra with good pay.
- they became best friends, she sits in front not behind when I asked her why she said the guy dress well and speaks good English.
- she introduced her to her friends, even my boss use the guy as well.

I asked the guy why he didn't abuse the woman, he said he's out there to make legitimate money, so anything that comes he endures, he's after the money not the insult, after all we no go see again, except by chance.

Appearance, Endurance and Approach gives you mega offline trips, you don't have to ask, it comes automatically (according to the driver)

Great lesson from both of you, how I wish we can learn from theses.

dru23:


Either way it is not easy, especially when your job requires good customer service skills ...my thing is as long as the customer is not violent. Than I can manage or try to manage the situation... But once it turns physical and am in danger. Than I have to do what I have to protect myself..

Allow the car to cool for like 30min then try starting it. If it start then take it to your mechanic and ask him to get a d wire to scan so has to know the actual fault.

I wouldn’t want to make any suggestion to you, after all I’m not an expert n haven’t use your type of car before, but if it doesn’t start then you’ll have to get a d wire to check it for you. So you can move out from your present location.

Good luck bro.

You need to focus your energy, on that rental you looking for.. Quoting me on nairaland only limits that energy .. ..redirect and refocus that can lead to better result...

This issue of rider-driver relationship.

Most times before a rider will behave rudely to u..they would have accesed your dressing, countenance and the way u speak. If u dress well, speak well and have a good carriage. 98% of riders will respect u.

peeps4u:
I've heard you. You assumed that for uber or they told you that ia the reason for choosing "partner" word?
Uber can still call drivers employers or workees withiut using the word "taxi drivers" but they chiose partners because in reality, the realtionship is partnership, not boss to servant relationship.

topsydee007:


I agree with u..some riders are just rude since they were conceived .
I have experienced a rider shouting on the phone even when I have not even gotten to pick up location. For me...I simply reply them. If he/she cannot wait for me to arrive or is not comfortable with anything...simply cancel.

At times. .giving rider impression that u are not desperate to make a trip will make them calm down ..

I hate personally when someone request a ride..let's say u are going to the airport. Your flight is 4pm ..u request a ride 3:30pm especially long distance and traffic route...and u are shouting on the driver to drive like James bond or to jump the traffic. Is it my fault that u left home or office late. Why should I bear the risk of your lateness.

I politely tell them am not the reason for their lateness as I can't drive above my speed limit. ..as far as am concerned ..safety comes first....I will also them dem.if you ain't comfortable..I can park so u take another rider. Forget the money....I bet u....they will shut up.

Prince3:

Oga which one you no even dey self, since yesterday till this very moment you guys have been discussing and lecturing yourselves on one subject and non of you want to take a bow and have a humble leave and funny enough I read where you claim to be educated and internationally exposed while the other persons not privilege are then what? Illiterate and village boys abi?

If you think you’re wealthy, famous, healthy or can afford travel to any where you can don’t think the other man is not doing h/h best or not working more than you do, so don’t take you privileges for granted thinking it’s your making God has reasons for everything.

A guy here will always say each time I call him “boss” in our private chat, “don’t call me boss, we all are boss”. Such a humble guy with plenty of money and international profile yet you won’t hear it.

Empty can they say makes the loudest noise

Funny guy , you better go and form a union... when you were crying low fare that time .. What did your partner do? When you guys threaten to quit driving and wanted to boycott uber.. Did u not continue to drive, when uber was slavery, you still wake up in the morning and chase surge and request up and down.. .. There is dignity in labour, whether you driving bus, taxi, cleaning toilet etc ..be proud of it ....
