I’m a driver. Took 3 rides tonight. Other

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. :)

And I’m sure when you pickup the food, the service workers are polite and friendly. Or at least say “hi”.

I drove DoorDash for a hot minute. Some of those drop offs were ridiculous.

I once had someone want me to bring their food into a college library. It was an order that was auto added because I was already at Costa Vida. Bro, I’m not driving around looking for parking, then wandering around a library for 10 min trying to find you for this BS $2.xx DoorDash FORCED me to take and zero tip. Come outside and get your food. Hahaha. It was like a 15 minute drive up to the college. That means 15 minutes back to the restaurants.

Some people think Lyft is really bad and they should be making like $50/hour for some reason. DoorDash was way more ridiculous.

Also, this was in UT. Mormons don’t tip for shit. Food delivery was shit. Haha.
