Needed to use Uber in an emergency. Imagine my surprise when Uber spontaneously picked a "pickup spot" for me, which I only later found out was 2.7 miles from my current location! I tried to manually set the pickup spot to my current location. Then, UBER decided I wasn't allowed to, and reset my pickup location back to the extremely far location!! I have one question: WHY would anyone need to use Uber if they're able to get 2.7 miles away from their current location in a timely manner???
