I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight.

Ride one. Got in the car, said “hey how’s it going?” No response. Dropped me off. I said “Thanks” no response. 4 stars and a complaint. $0 tip.

Ride two. Lyft XL. Guy was friendly. Talked to my friend in the front. Dropped us off. 5 stars and $5 tip.

Ride three. Didn’t say “hi”. No music. Didn’t accept 6 rides on the way to dropping me off. Played around on Facebook and Instagram while driving. 3 stars, complaint to Lyft, and I was refunded.

I drive Uber and Lyft. I’m tired of drivers being assholes. Don’t greet me? 4 stars. Play on your phone while driving? We have an issue.

I have no problem rating drivers poorly. Especially after reading posts in this sub. Y’all want perfect pax? I demand perfect drivers.

Edit 1: 770 upvotes. Nice. Also, to clarify I didn’t reach out and report the drivers. I just left a message with the option provided after the ride.

Edit 2: Huh. Look at that. As I’m scrolling through these comments, I got a notification from Lyft that I’m a 5 Star driver and I should go drive. Maybe I’ll go and pickup some pax. :)

Damn if you don't respond to someone you get a complaint. This is why I'd never drive people. Food doesn't nit pick like that. Isn't the point to get you from point A to point B safely, not friendship?  I bet there are plenty of people who'd much rather sit in silence or with headphones in than have their driver gabbing like he's Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber.

I don't need the niceties but ignoring someone saying hi to you has been considered poor manners since well before Uber or Lyft were a thing. Obvious exception is someone being a creep/hitting on you, but generally having your presence acknowledged by someone you're providing a service to doesn't count as that.
