On the way out of the airport I get a ping for a short trip from the hotel to the gas station but no return trip. Before I even go to the hotel he says go ahead and start the trip go to the gas station and get me a pack of Marlboro 27 please. Ill tip ya in app nicely.

Okay the red flags are going off and I'm thinking to myself this is a priority trip and I know there's 30 cars waiting in line so I said what the hell.

Started the trip went to the gas station ended the trip.

I figured if this guy was full of shit and he wasn't going to put the tip on the ride like he said he was he wasn't getting cigarettes and I was getting paid for the trip anyway. Sure enough the tip came through and everything was peachy keen. So I went the half a mile back to the hotel, so now I have a complete round trip of one mile.

This guy just spent $45 for a pack of smokes not including what Uber charged him.

That’s the cig addiction! Good for you.

Once I delivered food to a guy, and he gave me $20 cash tip to go a few blocks to get his cigs. I did, and it only took a few minutes. He must’ve been some major alcoholic because he was sitting in his car in the driveway, and beer cans were scattered all over.
