The dilemma for Uber here is that a 6x or 7x multiplier completely changes the market for a service. It's an increase from $30 to $200. If it was just a 2x multiplier, people would be much more accepting, since it would move from pricey to really pricey.
- sneak 13y agoIt's not really Uber's dilemma. They warn people about the multiplier before accepting an order from them. This is a simple case of buyers not wanting to take responsibility for their own actions.

Uber's bigger problem is all the people who got to the screen that said it was incredibly more expensive than usual, and walked away and started talking about what a rip-off Uber is and how it gouges people who are in need.
