As a Lyft driver in the Seattle area you have to find the right places to hang out to get riders. One of my favorite places, since riders can now get rides from the SEA-TAC airport parking garage, is a Subway parking lot near by the car rental facility. I’ll usually stop in the Subway, grab my 6 inch turkey on wheat and wait for an opportunity to accept a rider. I’ve noticed too that’s where a few other Uber and Lyft drivers hang out as well as it’s close to the airport and also picking up people from the car rental facility who locally rented a car.
I’ve gotten to know a couple of the other drivers and in particular a young black guy who’s father lets him borrow his Chevy Tahoe to give rides as an Uber Black driver. Over the weeks I’ve seen Marcus many different times and we’ve also taken time off to enjoy sitting and chatting at the Subway about this and that. Eventually with me the topic of sex always comes up and in this case I was asking Marcus if he had a girlfriend. He told me he didn’t as he was working so much trying to build up money to buy his own limo and even look at starting a car services of his own.
