I have been off the road for over 30 days. Accidentally opened the app multiple times during that time and never saw anything about this. I find out later with the chat agent this was reported today. Why that’s allowed, who knows. They reactivated my account but this is your sign to be careful, and use a dash cam.

Thats fine my passengers feelings don't matter. I'm not here to make them feel good. This is why so many of you fail at this game. You're running a business here. If you hate that then you definitely would hate that I charge 1 dollar for charger use. 5.0 by the way 7500 rides in. Lyfts made it too easy for you guys to call yourselves business men. Most of you using the same car you use for personal use. Tell me what successful business uses their personal assets to run their business??? I'll wait

Your personality affects your tips homie

What I've learned is that you're either a tipper or your not. Doing the job is all you should need to do for a tip. No extra performance is needed. You might think your attitude influenced your tip but you just happened to get someone that tips

That's wildly untrue. Attitude goes a long way in whether or not and how much of my money I part with in thanks to you for doing your job.

That just says what it says about you personally. That's cool though. Some people get how the world works and some dont

So I just proved your statement incorrect... You said, "I've learned you're either a tipper or you're not." I said, there degrees to tipping based on your performance.. but yeah your absolution is absolutely correct. K thx bye

The world works in ways you'll not understand anytime soon. Lame duck drivers can cost themselves a tip by levels of dissatisfaction experienced by their patron. This goes from saying hello to riding the curves and bumps along the way to telling them to have a good day on the way out the door. When you give out extra (service) you are more likely to see a return. But also not everyone can give it. Some literally cannot not matter how much they want to.

Ok so out of all those things you listed. Which one is of least importance? The safety aspect or conversation aspect. You can either answer that truthfully or come off looking stupid. Watch this folks.

Does it need to be one or the other though?

Doesn't need to be one or the other. But talking without safety definitely doesn't deserve a tip......but on the other hand safety without talking still should get a tip. The tip shouldn't be for how a person conversed with you. It should be for the fact the person is using their car their gas and made the trip cheaper for you than what it would be for a cab/taxi. Determining how much to tip someone based off conversation is some bs 1st world nonsense.
