Yes but if I don't pay jack shit for a full promo, let's say full promo RM4 for RM4, or half the fare rm2 i will feel really malu asking for anything from my driver, what's more we are in the driver's property, in the driver's very own personal car. If they ask nicely ok, but some passengers are really demanding and forget their place that they are in somebody's personal car just because they are paying rm4 for 4 person. Not to mentioned so many of them likes to slammed the door but not even saying sorry.
Even taxi drivers also make more than that. One person taxi drivers easily charge rm10 for a short trip. Taxi rate charge 1km = RM1.20, Grab 1km = 0.20 sen non peak hour.
Feel for you. Guess that's part and parcel of being a grab driver. Not ideal but people are like that sometime.
Generally, Malaysia has lost the civic sense long time ago due.
Guess that's the same feeling when people marah Teacher/ Doctor / nurse when seek treatment.
They should ask nicely though, personnel opinion on demanding (as long as not rude), should be nothing wrong since they are customer and you are a service provider (since your company / partner is the one who made the promo).
on the Same breath, you should also acknowledges some driver are also rude an inconsiderate. Based on my experience.
Case 1 Once I took a grab to my Car Service Centre and i ask the driver not to take the tolled road because the told road will cost RM 3.60 (2 toll) and the time saved will only be 5-10 minutes which seem not worth it for me. The driver scolded me and told me if next time when booking tell don't want toll so he could reject the ride because he want to balik cepat . It was not peak hours by the way and he can always balik taking the toll road.
B]Case 2 [/B]
I book a ride about 5 minutes before peak hours. the Driver practically moved a bit , guess once he notice it was not peak hour yet. He just stopped his car waiting for me to cancel. (I could see the tracking that he was just 3 minutes away but i was waiting for him for more than 5 minutes) Now is that ethical ? if you really want me to cancel you can message me to ask me to cancel or the driver can cancel it.
