I live in Toledo OH near the Michigan border. Michigan is a no fault state so for some reason we can't pick up passengers there (even though we can take passengers there).
Our nearest airport is Detroit which is at least 50 minutes away and for a while I was refusing all Michigan rides unless the passengers told me up front they'd tip me a decent amount and I make them give me the tip up front (I got burned once by someone that promised to take care of me and their idea of taking care of me was giving me five stars). Not worth the deadhead time otherwise but I found out with the Uber agreement agreement I don't have to end the trip until I'm back at the Ohio/Michigan border so now I take any Detroit trips since I don't live that far from the border.
I don't mention I'm ending the trip at the border and just take all passengers since if they don't tip I still come out ahead. If the passenger tips me well I end the trip in Detroit and if they don't tip I just end it at the border figuring they're out more money than if they tipped and I'm getting compensated.
I was off from my regular job and decided to drive this afternoon. Had a request to go to Novi Michigan I almost declined it since there is a lot of road work to deal with coming back since the highway I use southbound is shut down for construction but figured it was a slow time of day and if she didn't tip I would end the trip at the border and with the road work going on would come out ahead.
The ***** was bragging on her cell phone to someone on her phone that she had a $20 uber credit and it would be a cheap trip and she had the balls to says on the phone that you aren't suppose to tip your uber driver. I wish now I would have just pulled over to the nearest exit and left her. She also *****ed during the trip I didn't have bottled water and wanted to borrow a phone charger when she got off the phone. Even though I had an iPhone charger I wasn't going to lend it to her after the comment about tipping and told her I didn't have one on me and she started going on that uber drivers should have water and phone chargers at all times.
As I pull up to the house she demands I end the trip and said I better not try pulling a fast one on her like the last time she took an Uber to Detroit and the driver didn't end the trip till he got back to Ohio. I knew she wasn't going to tip and I told her to review the uber agreement and it states we can end the trip at the border (I felt like telling her if she wasn't such a cheap ***** and would have tipped me $25 I would have ended the trip there even though I wouldn't have made anything). She said "then I'll show your ass I'm cancelling the trip and reporting your ass to uber, last time the driver tried that shit I got a $20 credit from Uber (probably the credit she used on the trip to screw me and since she cancelled she'll use it to help get home) and she did cancel
Hopefully the screen shot comes through but it is showing I drove her ass 68.84 miles and an hour and 14 minutes with a $0 payout. Why in the hell is Uber allowing a passenger to cancel a trip and if they do why aren't they getting charged for the miles they were driven? What really sucks is with roadwork it was 80 miles and 1:45 back home so I wasted three hours and put 150 miles on my car for nothing. And why on earth is Uber giving these passengers credit for being charged mileage for a ride they took? Do I have any recourse with Uber?
The T&C say I should get paid my time back to the state line but right now I'd be happy just getting the fare to Novi, better than nothing.
From now on when someone asks me to drive them out of state I'm refusing the trip unless they tip up front. Really sucks I can't rate her and I'm surprised she had a 4.88 rating (but I guess if she cancels trips they can't rate her low).
