I am driving back home from a trip today and just as I am passing the library, I get a ping with ETA of 1 minute from the library.
I say, what the heck, even a minimum fare is fine, since I am in front of the library anyways.
A young man, waiting for me as I approach, immediately flags me, gets in the car and we drive off to his not so far home.
We talk about things, he has a book review project, also working in food industry and his dress shows it. He is clean, kind and doesn't smell 'food industry' funny. he appears tired.
I drop off this young man, give him 5 star, wish him a good day wholeheartedly. I see an honest young man, trying hard, at this young age juggling responsibilities and is respectful, makes sense when he speaks and cool.
He then gives me a tip. I wanted not to take it. He is a teenager, he needs the money more. But he insists. Finally I appreciate his tip and take it.
In contrast, the wealthy people I took to their expensive dinners and clubs with loser minimum fare did not tip me the entire week. Up until this tip, I had no tip since Monday in uber platform.
I will keep that $1.00 and never spend it. It will remind me there are very good people and even uber cannot make an asshole of them.
