Eh sounds like a pretty minor incident in the great scheme of things.
And can you charge uber a cleanup fee if you do?
Tips don't affect rating. Unfortunately.
Hate to say it but you may want to ask your bf some pointed questions about this incident...

Well played.
This shouldn't surprise anyone in this game... Been going on a long time.
Why is every rideshare company so skeevy. All the taxi companies always were too. What is it about transportation companies that bring out the skeev?
It's dara. What do you expect right.
My buddy who lives in LA told me it's a nightmare.
This site has a fare calculator. You need to use that. Here is an estimate for you.
Really messed up. That is not right.
If I had that kind of stock portfolio... I'd cash out and retire today. I don't know why these people keep doing what they do.
Weak coffee is a show stopper. How does a company even run like that.
Is that right? Crazy.
This was always an obvious scam right? I mean, come on.
Why are the charging an extra fee for this stuff, which should be a normal part of doing business for them. Are they saying they weren't doing all that before they added the fee?
It's obviously just a way to make more money.
That would be a sight!
