I'm very well aware of the conflict between accessibility needs. I'm asking Uber, Lyft, et al, to sort this out so that people with service animals AND those with severe allergies to animals, etc., can both use their services.

Not a single actual case that I've ever seen brought up has anything to do with allergies

Do you post just for the sake of arguing? It's exhausting... So we have to wait for that to be the case before we deal with it? I'm asking to push back on the companies that prey on precarious workers & do everything in their power to avoid any responsibility for their product.

I'm struggling to see what exactly you think Uber should be doing differently that specifically applies to this guy not wanting to pick up a disabled person when he unambiguously legally has to

What I'm seeing is a lot of condescending suggestions that Uber should make a special list of drivers willing to pick up disabled people Which would, in this case, be unambiguously illegal

Or... and I'm just spitballing here... provide these drivers with: 1. proper training 2. covers for seats, cleaning supplies, etc. Y'know, the type of thing that real employers should do if they're not hiding behind the "independent contractors" excuse, whist paying nothing.

Hey, in this particular situation she had a cover for the seat and cleaning supplies with her and texted the driver ahead of time to try to work with him, because she was taking responsibility for trying to minimize the risk of getting left (which she shouldn't have to)

And I've never had a problem with this driver being called out. But Uber firing him isn't going to solve the problem or make this issue go away. I just can't fathom how y'all want to cape for Uber in any way - they 100% created the environment that allowed this to happen.

I'm not caping for Uber In a completely ideal world Uber wouldn't exist One big complaint about Uber is that the way they operate means people like this end up doing jobs they aren't qualified to do and shouldn't be doing

But no, in this case I don't see this driver as the wronged party, because in an ideal world *he wouldn't have this job in the first place*

The assumption that Uber somehow caused him to be the asshole here seems to rest on the idea that this is 100% about who owns the car and is liable for damage to it, and frankly I just don't believe that
