Ran an experiment with Uber
So I recently signed up for uber and had a 4.98 rating. I was told by a friend that the …
No not a pain to get to. It is off of a main street but not to much of a wait at lights or anything. The parking lor can be a bit busy at times but never stop and go kind of traffic, you can always go go go in the parking lot. I never buy anything stinky. I never asked any of them for help nor expected it. I only had at most 5 bags of groceries, which meant only 2 trips from their trunk. I never brought them into the hall never mind into the building. I always took them not even 5 steps from the car to my stairs and left them on the stairs. I’d say 98% of the trips only required one trip from their trunk to my stairs as I can carry 4 bags at once. Maybe 2 rides required a second trip to their trunk. I always thank them for the ride. Never say anything mean. I have not tipped them but that’s only because they didn’t help and I did t ask for help. So I honestly don’t know why I was rated so low on these trips. Wish I knew why.
Not to sound like some sort of jerk here or anything but why would any of this matter. Is it or is it not the uber drivers job to pick people up and bring them to the location they are going?
That’s just it. I never asked any of them for help nor expected it. I only had at most 5 bags of groceries, which meant only 2 trips from their trunk. I never brought them into the hall never mind into the building. I always took them not even 5 steps from the car to my stairs and left them on the stairs.

Never say anything mean. I have not tipped them but that’s only because they didn’t help and I did t ask for help. So I honestly don’t know why I was rated so low on these trips. Wish I knew why. And honestly I only used Uber for grocery trips cause I like Uber. It would be about $5 cheaper for me to get a taxi and I’d wait less time to be picked up both from my house and the grocery store. The taxi driver would also help with the groceries and not expect a tip, although when they do help I give them $5 tip every time. Maybe I’ll just stick with taxi for groceries and only use ride share apps for long trips, they are much cheap for longer trips
