If you order pizzas and pay for them, you're completely the transaction as expected. If you order a car from a car service and then cancel it, you're not. The fact that a cancellation fee exists doesn't give you the right to use the system in such an unintended manner.
A better analogy than the pizza analogy might be a "customer" repeatedly buying clothes with the intent to wear and then return them. Despite the fact that there is a return policy in place, the fact that the customer never intended on keeping any of the clothes makes his behavior fraudulent.
- eridius 13y agoThere is nothing illegal about repeatedly buying clothes, then returning. If I do that enough the store may bar me from the premises for being exceedingly annoying, but they certainly can't charge me with anything.

- aidenn0 13y agoSome localities do have laws forbidding buying something with the intent to return it.
- avalaunch 13y agoI said it was fraudulent, which it definitely is. Whether or not it fits the legal definition of fraud is debatable.
- yapcguy 13y agoAnother example is a cafe. Get a bunch of people to repeatedly queue up but when they get to the counter decide they don't want to order anything. Just the sight of a long queue outside the door is going to put off legit customers Clearly Uber are engaging in activities to disrupt and cause harm to the business of their competitor.
