[Uber] Black Car at O'Hare

Just a heads up that, if you request a black car at O'Hare and don't plug in your destination right away, the Uber driver will call you immediately (without fail) and request where you're going. I believe that the drivers are systemically weeding out shorter trips.

I suspect this as I live 6 miles from O'Hare and since that isn't a really appealing trip for a black car driver, I've found myself with a 50%+ failed ride rate on over 20 trips. I've received excuses including I'm not feeling well and would rather get home, I'm stuck in a really long line and can't get to you for at least XX minutes (one example was 10 minutes and I told him I'd wait and the second time I heard it was a 20 minute wait) and I've even had drivers cancel on me after we hang up.

Its garbage and I've taken it up with Uber.
