Re: Rep Retirement Lodge: Choose A Number
Good morning Lodge. Was at the dealership at 7:30am to drop my car off. Asked for their shuttle to take me to the commuter rail station to take the train into Boston. "We could never keep a driver on staff so we stopped the shuttle and now call Ubers." OK fine. They call an Uber. They tell me to wait at the main entrance. I take my phone out, turn the ringer on, hold in my left hand. In my right hand, I look at my work phone. After 10 minutes, I look at my phone, there is a text saying the ride was cancelled along with a voicemail. It never rang or buzzed while in my hand.
So, I go back into the service area to tell them to get me an Uber again. They do. This time I stand outside in the cold. Uber driver calls, says "I'm here." I said "No, you're not. I'm standing outside the main entrance." Turns out the idiot can't read signs on how to get to where I am, was in the back of the building. He finally gets there. Goes out a one way the wrong way. Takes me to the train station, totally isn't paying attention to where I need to be dropped off, apparently can't see the large terminal building, drives in a "buses only or pay a $500 fine" lane to drop me off.
Because of all this, I miss the one train I wanted to be on, had to wait for the 8:36am one. Got me to North Station a little after 9:00. Then had to take the T to the office. But first I needed coffee and breakfast because now it's 9:30 and, well, I'm STARVING. Now I'm waiting for the call to tell me what they found or didn't find, how much it's going to cost me and then do the same trip, just backwards. I may forego having them call me an Uber and just get my own Lyft.
