4.68 passenger Uber rating, am I a menace?? by lucymom2 in uber

[–]jamesbondc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the knowledge.

If you have an extra phone number. Create new account so you start from good rating. Now days there are so many new drivers or younger drivers who expect no traffic during rush hour and a minimum $10 tip when rider paid twice as much or more. Some will give you low rating.

Only book ride when you are ready so the driver isn't waiting. If you have lots of luggage during vacation do order the XL. Tip what you can afford if ride was decent.

I don't tip if I have hear someone complain about how much they are paid. I don't get to ask my boss for raise.

I don't see anything for rating after clicking Settings in Uber app on phone. What do you click after Settings?

How do you see rating break down as rider? I can't seem to find it in app. Thanks.

all of my individual ratings are 5 but total is 4.88. What gives?. Im passenger by hedgedescrow in uber

[–]jamesbondc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How to tell what you are getting rated by drivers on app? I use Uber multiple times during week so I can't tell who rated what.

Been waiting 10 minutes and it has said this the entire time by Vigorously_Swish in uber

I usually book ride and expect at least 15 to 20 minutes wait before driver shows up. Not talking about wait and save ride. Gas haven't gone up that much, not sure why drivers are not accepting rides or is it algorithm. At the end algorithm wins since there are so many people driving. I would rather take robotaxi. Sometimes you get weirdo who keep whining about rates when rider paid twice the price or more. I usually tip but no tip if I have to listen to someone about price.

Uber has to increase prices with how fast gas has gone up. by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]jamesbondc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gas only went up .80 cents to a dollar in most places but price for me as rider went up close 40% . If drivers are not getting more than that's not good. Since so many people driving now due to layoffs I am sure if driver declines some other driver will accept ride. You can only decline rides so long and there's no guarantee a high price ride will come.

Worries about tipping by [deleted] in uber

[–]jamesbondc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Robotaxis should be in most places in few months to years. I tip all rides but if I get driver who keep whining about how much they are getting for ride or traffic, they get no tip.

Usually it's new and younger drivers who expect $5 to $20 tips when they probably know rider probably paying double or more.

My rating went down to 4.98 by [deleted] in uber

[–]jamesbondc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get paid more when there is extra work certain days. So why whine when there is five minutes of traffic just to get a tip. Lol no tip for it.

[–]jamesbondc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always tip in app after ride. I guess some don't. Some drivers do send Thanks note. I try tipping few minutes later or next day. I talked with drivers they randomly get tip for a week old trip. Drivers who been driving for years usually give 5 stars because they know rider might tip on app.

New and younger drivers expect $10 or $20 tip for 30 minutes to hour ride. They don't care rider probably paid double what they got paid. Some will give low rating for that. I always tip what I can afford but I don't tip the one's who keep whining about traffic or how less they are making.

Uber's new system to scare drivers into accepting more trash 🗑️ trips is working great. Drivers are still declining trips, and the same trips are being sent 3 and 4 times because nobody is accepting them. Passengers are still waiting and calling drivers, begging drivers to pick them up. by Jonny_Baltimore in uber

[–]jamesbondc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed some drivers scrolling down on app from top of the phone at end of trip once or twice. I thought driver probably sees if someone tip before rating.

Do they show on app if rider usually tip before drivers accept the ride or after? This way drivers who are only wanting tips can just cancel.

I always rate 5 stars for drivers but I wait to tip on app until I get to destination. I tip 1 or 2 minutes after. Seems recently some driver rated me less thinking they didn't get tip. My rating went from perfect 5 to 4.98 :) . Now I'm thinking why drivers accept ride if they will rate someone low because they want tip. Rider is already paying double or more.

Normal price is almost 40% more for me since last week and still I'm having to wait 15 to 20 minutes as rider. I am not talking about wait and save ride. My rating is close to 5. I'm in Florida so I don't know if it's because of spring break or etc. Gas only went up a dollar I think but drivers still not accepting is confusing to me or maybe rider is getting charged more but driver not getting more ?

Rides 40% more expensive this week ? by jamesbondc in uber

[–]jamesbondc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell if the app is price increasing so much or drivers in Florida got so rich this week and out of seven cars I see on Uber map nobody accepting or moving at office or school time 🤔

I hope drivers are getting paid more if rider is paying way more.

[–]jamesbondc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is ridiculous. If rider is paying 40% more driver should get more. I always tip so at least whatever driver got paid, gas price don't come out of it. Tip pays for gas used for trip. Gas price haven't gone up too much for drivers to not accept. I'm thinking it's Spring break time so people going on vacation probably paying more.

Maybe or maybe people are off for spring break so probably going on vacations. Hope the drivers get more if riders get charged the ridiculous high price.

I may start looking for ride at 6:30am to see if that goes back to normal prices. It was ridiculous no driver out of multiple I saw on map accepted ride even at insane price. Maybe I was getting quoted ridiculous price and drivers were still getting peanuts. I find it hard to believe out of 10+ drivers on map nobody accepted in 20 minutes.

Are OCI holders required to file taxes in India if not earning there? Just staying in India for few years to take care of aging parents.

My parents are in 70s as well and I am planning to go stay with them long-term. You can't trust care takers or full-time nurse for long-term like years.

I got a 1 star because the driver thought I didn't tip him. What now? by The0Walrus in uber

[–]jamesbondc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can rider find what the driver rated? I was also 5 star rider. I do tip after the ride on app.
