I am also an Uber driver... I've totally had this happen to me too! I don't mind it, usually I get free food, and get paid and sometimes tipped on top of it.
Why did you put job in quotes? That's a little condescending, don't you think? Being an Uber driver is a perfectly acceptable occupation if that's what you're looking for in a job.
I think he is referring to the fact that drivers select a "job" available on the app. They know where the people want to go before agreeing to drive them there.

At the McDonald's where I used to work, if the lobby was closed, we would have to accept walk-up customers. We got a lot of truckers in the middle of the night, and can't expect them to maneuver their rigs around the drive-thru.
Regardless, it is OP's job, and it wasn't a ridiculous request, so I don't really see what's wrong here.
yea it's not a bad thing to accept walk up customer but the reason most fast food restraints don't allow it is cause people have been hit by drunk drivers in drive thru. Fast food is prime territory for drinks and drunk drivers
Hey, it's not like he woke you up or anything, you were looking for someone to move. Also I'd bet you got paid a decent amount considering the briefness of the trip lol
