  That's some real BS. I am guessing some sort of glitch in their app right at that time? Awful luck. They need to trust you though.

  I actually got one of the free tip stickers from this site, I choose the cow one (cracked me up personally) and I get a lot of comments on it from my riders. I am not entirely sure if I have gotten more tips (perhaps slightly, it is so hard to tell) but people really seem to love it so hey it cant hurt!

  Sorry man, that is so frustrating. Sometimes driving for Uber is like a random lottery, some people get deactivated for unjust reasons, some can't sign up, and some nutcases have been driving for 5+ years.

  Wow, this is really interesting. So they just send it to you for free and you have definitely noticed an increase in tips? How is listening to people singing while trying to drive? LOL Is it worth it? That might drive me insane but $27 in tips in awesome.

  Unreal, they need to make their investors happy but at what price? How can drivers sustain themselves on this?! It just is not feasible. And all the while they are trying to "hide" just how much they are screwing drivers over.

  Agree with everyone here - go for the XL, but cheapest possible. All those vacationing families will do a number on the car.

  Ya I agree completely with this. I have found that Pool passegers just think it is the cheapest option they don't realize half the time that they will be riding with other riders.Unfortunately this is always taken out on the driver not on Uber as a company

   6 months ago in  I live in a good (as in wealthy) neighborhood. Can I get bad ratings from the drivers?

  I wouldn't penalize you for this but I have seen my fair share of wealthy people who do not tip (I guess that is why they are wealthy, stingy!). So do the right thing and tip right away and I guarantee you will get 5 stars!
