He then launched into what I could tell immediately was a pitch for some kind of pyramid scheme where he testified that his friend (the guy a level above him) had made "hundreds of thousands of dollars per year." I knew he was about to sell me on something I was not interested in. Not wanting to engage, I just sort of listened while he carried on for the duration of our 15 minute ride. I never asked him exactly what the nature of this business was, but from the sounds of it, it seemed like a network of people who click each other's google/amazon ads.
He went on at length talking about how ethical it was before I even asked anything about the nature of the business. After saying nothing for most of the ride, he finally said "This sounds like you might be a perfect candidate for something like this." I politely declined and told him I was satisfied with my current career.
Is this kind of thing considered OK? Normally my Uber and Lyft drivers have been very friendly, but on occasion I have gotten sales pitches from drivers with side businesses.
I gave him 1 star and moved on, but frequently encountering this kind of behavior would make me hesitant to continue using the service.
