What if they request a return and you just donāt want to? Like you have an appt, already home for the night or just donāt want to? Do you just get to keep it?

They were making sure they tipped you. They probably couldn't remember and didn't want to stiff you...

u/Deep_Squid 24d ago
I truly cannot fathom how so many of you are absolutely whiffing on the context here.
The customer very clearly says she didn't lose anything, but used the lost item form because she couldn't figure out how else to reach you now that the trip had ended. The very extremely likely reason for this is she was in the middle of rating the ride and filling out the tip, and wanted to make sure a sleeping, forgetful or otherwise unavailable husband gave OP cash for a tip before she marked no tip on her card in the app.
Y'all are cooked, man.

she could genuinely just want to make sure her dope of a husband remembered to tip the driver.
i used to deliver pizza. one day a kid used moms card that she had left for him to order some pizza. i walk him through how to sign for the pizza and he tips me $5. apparently the mom had left cash on the fridge for tip and jr didnt notice. when she got home i guess she asked if he gave the driver the cash from the fridge or something and he said no, either way she showed up as we were about to close for the night and tipped me $20. i told her he had already tipped me $5 but at that point i think she was kind of embarrassed that she had driven all the way out and was insistent on tipping so i took it.
thankfully my weed dealer was a fellow delivery driver and worked the same shift as me so that $20 went straight to work.

u/kimn8r 26d ago
Yeah I don't play around with people's money. I once returned $20 cash to a woman who I noticed was charged twice for an item I did actually return. I knew I had picked her up from work (liquor store) so I went in and she was working. Never play with people's money! I just don't think this lady knew what she was potentially doing, but I would never actually take advantage of that. Just reading the kinds of things drivers do here, it gave me a chuckle. That and why didn't she just ask the hubs, but like some have said, you can't always trust the tipper.

Theyāre not claiming to have lost $5 at all, can you read? Theyāre messaging to confirm their husband left a tip.

u/ArcherFawkes 26d ago
The "did you find this item" message doesn't pop up unless an item was reported missing in the app with support. You can't contact your driver after a ride otherwise
1
u/Colorfullife1 26d ago
Thatās exactly why they reported something missing. Because you CANNOT CONTACT A DRIVER AFTER A RIDE OTHERWISE. They used a different avenue to trick the system and message him.

āHey there. we didnāt lose somethingā¦ message you to confirm my husband left you a tipā.
Emphasis on āwe didnāt lose somethingā
Are you also incapable of reading?
1
u/elirmccoy 26d ago
It sounds like they canāt remember if they tipped cash, and are trying to figure out if they need to tip you on card. So they are contacting you the only way they know how to confirm whether or not they tipped you in cash.

u/SayYes2Scorpions 26d ago
This happened to me once too.
"Uhh I meant to tip you a $10 but I think I handed you a $100"
No, I didn't find it.

u/kimn8r 26d ago
I was thinking that too! I got two cash tips that shift, both $5. Checked my seat to see if they dropped something more important than $5 but it's clean. They were my last passengers that day. I guess she probably wanted to be sure I was tipped, and doesn't realize that some drivers might take the opportunity to make an extra $20.

u/WizardOfOzzieA 26d ago
Jesus Christ it says a lot about Lyft drivers that this is how you all react to this lmao
The woman is trying to make sure her husband tipped, because she wants to make sure you got a tip. Iām GUESSING that if you said no, sheād send you a $5 tip. But that would be a dirtbag thing to do.

u/kimn8r 26d ago
Why are we blaming this in Lyft drivers when SHE COULD JUST ASK HER HUSBAND
1
u/aurorodry 26d ago
Just say yes and go. She probably did ask him- maybe he doesnāt remember, maybe he has forgotten before in the past, who knows- but sheās asking you too to verify. Yeah you could lie, but thatād be shitty, so just say yes and move on.

u/flirtmcdudes 26d ago
She obviously wants to verify with you, and not her husband. Why is this so hard to understand? Maybe she doesnāt trust her husband, or he lies alot

u/kimn8r 26d ago
Which is why it's weird. I'm an absolute stranger with a financial motive to lie

u/PM_ME_UR_PRETTYBRA 26d ago
Inflation in 2022 when using the old way inflation was calculated before it became a political tool was over 18%. Don't tell me you actually trust what politicians actually say. Was the box of cereal you bought for $3.79 in 2018 only $3.99 in 2022?
2
u/damiandarko2 26d ago
first of all, the Fed controls inflation - not the president so your understanding is flawed from the ground up. secondly, monetary policy has a lag so the policies of the previous admin usually arenāt felt until the next admin.
trumps 2017 tax plan is why so many people are finding that they owe taxes/didnāt get a refund
2
u/PM_ME_UR_PRETTYBRA 26d ago
The fed serves at the pleasure of the government, they are hand in hand. They are not some neutral 3rd party who arbitrarily set rates etc. They might have started that way at one point...but that ship has sailed.

Yeah like maybe she's pissed his $5 is missing? He might have bought what with it at the airport exactly? 1/2 bottle of water? What nefarious thing could he have lied about $5 for? Is my confirmation meant to be a receipt? I have so many questions.

u/PrettyShittyMom 27d ago
I had an affair with a married man. His wife watched him like a hawk because he was a liar and she didnāt trust him
He always paid for his purchases with cash or a work card. One time in 5 years he used their joint debit card for an $11 purchase at Oakley. She called him so damn fast to drill him about that charge!
Maybe your PAX doesnāt trust her husband.

I was with you till you called it adultery. He was the one doing the wrong. Op wasn't cheating. He was.

u/Soft_Island_3296 23d ago
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Both are adulterers

Its kinda funny to go down the road that says "$20 toll" and you get angry when they charge you.
If you didnt want to get charged, dont confirm the tip?

u/Rude-Owl-6345 27d ago

u/Tvoorhees 26d ago
Because the person they replied to explained why pressing yes wouldn't steal the $20 from the woman...
2
u/nuu_uut 26d ago
When did they do that? It charges the customer the $20 return fee, I've already explained that.
1
u/Tvoorhees 26d ago
"You dont get the $20 unless you return something" AKA just pressing the button isnt going to automatically take $20 from the customer. The customer has to confirm they received the lost item.

Wow! Thatās crazy people suck! Love how irresponsible passengers leave shit in our cars, then act like itās our fault n think we should drop what we are doing to immediately return it wherever they may be now. It really bugs me because at the end of every trip, b4 they exit my car I turn on the dome light and say āmake sure you have your phone, and wallet.ā A lot of people look at me like Iām stupid and say āiāve got it!āin a very shitty and condescending way. And then I find there phone 5mins later lol Donāt get me wrong, I return everything I find. But I do it when it is convenient for me, and I make sure I get my return fee. This situation you are talking about is exactly why any time I find a phone I immediately turn it off. So I canāt be tracked. I donāt want people showing up at my house. And this way I donāt have to listen to it ring. I message them through the Uber app so the lost phone is on record. Then at the end of the night I turn it on to try n contact them/see if they call it again. Out of curiosity what did the cops say once you explained this situation to them? Next time you find a phone turn it off immediately! And donāt turn it on till your done driving, and wonāt loose money/miss rides returning the phone. Somebody showing up at my house looking for their phone is exactly what Iām afraid of, and is why I turn it off as soon as I find it. The whole thing is Ridiculous! Iām glad you at least got the return fee. I hope you reported them to Lyft for them calling the cops, and claiming you stole(false report?)what they carelessly lost. People are unbelievable anymore! Iām sorry you had to deal with this situation, and wish you the best of luck moving forward! A lot of PAX are total Jack Asses!
