What arbitrary scenario? I'm literally discussing the scenario which kicked off this discussion.
The problem is not that it _could_ have been faster, the problem is that it _would_ have been faster if they'd done nothing at all. They injected themselves unnecessarily to slow down something which would have worked fine without interference.
If I find someone's wallet in the back of my car and I call them two years later to give it back, am I being reasonable? I mean, they got their items back. Or is it specifically a week which is acceptable? What's the maximum amount of time that it's reasonable to delay a by-default two-minute interaction?
- manigandham 8y agoI don't understand your comment but I'll try one last time: The problem is helping riders get back lost items. The solution, taking into account potential abuse with open communication and all other scenarios in millions of rides, is to have a "report" button that then notifies the driver to find and return the items on their own, and get rewarded with a standard fee. In any arbitrary scenario (meaning not representative of all of them), this process may not be the fastest or most effective, but it does solve the problem. Sometimes a 2 minute situation might be stretched out, and sometimes it might mean things are lost forever, but vast majority of the time it works fine, and that's the trade-off. You are focusing on 0.1% scenario while ignoring everything else.
- wyattpeak 8y agoLook, you haven't addressed my response, you've just reiterated your point, which I already understood. We're obviously not going to come to agreement on this, so let's leave it be.
