Basically it goes like this:

- Person A is on a train.

- Rather than get off the train and then call an Uber, they call an Uber while on the train because they don't wanna wait.

It can go one of two ways:

- Uber driver arrives right as the train arrives and they perfectly coincide.

- Uber driver arrives before the train, and is forced to wait for the train to arrive.

Either way it always works out perfectly for the rider, only risk is to the driver.

I assume for the guy who wrote that post, this happened enough to the point where he's jaded as fuck about it. So when he sees the person leave the train station to catch his cab, he drives off anyway, refusing to give that guy the satisfaction of having a seamless trip when he could have POSSIBLY held him up for a few minutes.

Honestly, I can see where the driver is coming from. It's some petty shit, but I can totally relate.
Ah OK yes this makes more sense now. Yeah it is petty but I do see where they are coming from. People should respect the driver's time. However, don't they charge an extra fee if they have to wait?

service industry is a thankless job. ride sharing saves people time and that time is valued by everybody. this makes ride shares undervalued. passengers come in all forms and there are plenty other drivers whod rather take the passenger than the tips though.

ride share drivers use their vehicles, their driving skill, and their time for others. ride share passengers pay for the drivers resources in the time theyre together. just how much is that worth? sucks that these drivers get poor ratings. some their livelihood depend on it.

Yep.

Not much though. Probably varies by region but for me it's about $0.18 a minute, slightly more than the per-minute earnings while on the trip:

The app gives you a notification when you get a tip. If you tap the notification it'll show you which trip it was from.

I got a tip yesterday from a ride two weeks ago lol

Does it also tell you which trip gave you which rating?

Unfortunately not. I've only received 177 ratings out of nearly 300 trips - 173 five stars and 4 four stars. I wish I knew which ones were four so I could reflect on those trips and better myself.

Yeah, I know four stars is still good but I was so fucking bummed when I lost my 5.00 rating lol

You probably just didn't rate him at all which doesn't reflect negatively on him. You can look at your trip history and it'll show you what you rated people

You can change your rating, though I'm not sure what the window on that is.

Uber was always totally against tipping until people started whining about it. I still don't tip though.

I wouldn't worry about it man. I've given a 4 star rating because a guy drove (for my tastes) way too slow.

I have used uber one time in my life in Nashville, and the driver was a small Asian man in his 60s and he just hummed music to himself with a smile on his face the whole time. It was a very serene experience.

Phew, ehehe. I usually give positive ratings, or no ratings at all if the service is passable but not worth 5-stars. I figure the driver would prefer no rating to 4 stars. On a few occasions I have given 1-star, but I wouldn't want that to be traced back to me.

It must be a tiny minority of drivers who ding you for not tipping with cash. Thats total BS because the lack of pressure to use cash is one of the advantages Uber has over cabs. They need to get over it.

I have 4.81. My old boss screwed my rating because hed tell me to call an Uber and wait for him so wed get to the airport in time, but he always undestimated how much longer his meetings would take. So I was often stuck waiting outside with an angry driver.

Stores & restaurants need to have membership & rating systems as well. It doesnt have to be paid membership to shop, just for entry.

No membership means no entry. Shoplifting means membership revoked.

Berating employees or letting their kids run around knocking things to the ground will lower ratings. Once they reach the bottom theyre prevented from entering the store or its other locations for a short amount of time.

If they pull the same bulls*** at other stores then those places will temporarily ban as well. The person will have to learn to behave themselves or travel further to get their goods. Every company needs to do this, for the betterment of society.

Im all for that Black Mirror episode becoming a reality for the private industry.

(And movie theaters need to ban entry for babies.)

Sounds uncomfortably close to China's "social score" system. It could easily be used to bar people for personal, ideological and other reasons that have nothing to do with actual behavior in the store itself.

Beyond that, I'd guess to not smell badly or leave trash (or worse) in their car.

I love the score inflation.

somebody who routinely vomits inside the cars, punches the drivers, etc. probably has like a 4.5
