[Defensive Driver]

Stop acting like your part of the space crew going to Mars with your exclusive Uber ticket. Uber ain't any better for drivers. I am quitting in 2 weeks. This is only a part time gig for me. I agree. Many drivers should not work full time. This isn't a full time job.

Never said any Rideshare was good. People should be ashamed of themselves for giving their life away to Rideshare. I'm ashamed of myself as well for driving part-time. But I know it's a temporary thing. I got other things lined up and I'm still young. I also drive Taxi. I would drive Taxi full-time on temporary basis. Life is good.

You're a new member and you're quitting in 2 weeks. Yea, OK! Go tell Dara to shove it! You Uber Rat troll!

Claiming Lyft is stealing your tips is equivalent to a kid saying,”teacher is giving me more homework than the other kids.”

I did I have the email with the total.

Please post a screenshot of your friend's receipt that shows he tipped $6

Precisely. I watched pax gave me a $6.00 tip. Lyft only posted $1.00.
I went back to the pax at restaurant I dropped him off at showed him the 1.00 tip.
He showed me his phone showing "$6.00 tip to driver". I took screenshot to Lyft and that is when Lyft admitted they were aware of the "problem" and were dumb enough to email they were aware of it. I payed this also.

People need to STFU just because something hasn't happened to them. Maybe, just maybe they're in a market where the wholesale theft of tips isn't a thing yet. I'm here to tell you, it's coming.

I'd like to know if pax are able to rescind or change their tips after entering it into their app. If they can, that would cause me to suspect that many of the pax who make a point of "showing" the driver they're entering the tip into the app are doing it to con the driver into giving them a 5-star rating. After the ride, they promptly rescind or reduce the tip.

In more than 2 years of driving I've never had a pax show me they were entering the tip into their app.

I have no doubt both companies would steal tips if they thought they could get away with it and the logistics involved made it worth doing.

If these companies are stealing tips, we're talking about huge sums of money being stolen.

If you have proof you should contact the media right away.

Why would you drive your friend via app and give lyft money?

Yea. We need screen shots

First, threads such as this with proof of tip stealing should be showcased over and above some of the silly threads that show up in Popular Topics and as headliners.

Second, even U/L cannot be this stupid. It may turn out that it is not "Lyft" or "Uber" stealing tips, but rather an employee(s) of Lyft or Uber. Someone(s) on the programming staff could pretty easily add some code to randomly diverts tip charges into another account. Management could easily be clueless as to it happening. Tip skimming. Probably the hardest theft to spot!

Think about it. If you are low paid U/L developer with less than perfect ethics...

But what about THIS?

But what about THIS?

I was wrong and I'm going to reexamine my life choices and the people I associate with.

So what about the people with proof what is that equivalent to?

They don’t steal tips... can a malfunction happen?? Yes
You really think that 99% of the tips goes to the drivers , then they decide to steal 1% of the tips from Larry in Utah, Kirk in Montana and Jose from LA?😁 BOD meeting, and they devise a plan to steal 2$ from select few drivers 😁
Do they manipulate pings? Yes
Do they manipulate surge? Yes
Do they take extra $ from the pax and give you just miles + time ? Yes😁 do they steal tips? Nope, not on purpose 👍
100% system does not exist
Your plane can go down 😁
Your phone can crash😁
Your TSLA can have issues 😁
So expect glitches in life👍

Then show me the proof. I will be the sole arbiter on its veracity!

There will be no arguments. Hip-ba-ba-ba!

Well, DoorDash was applying tips to the minimum fare guarantee, maybe Lyft is doing that too.

One could assume that any tip collection that is not passed on 100% could eventually result in Class-Action. We would then all receive $18 cash and several coupons for half off our next Lyft ride. The lawyers would rake in $40 million or so.

Of course why would it ever work in the drivers favor ?
Even when you kinda "win" with rideshare you lose

 

[Beninmankato]

Lyft passengers can tip?

 

[SharingMyRidres]

Lyft passengers can tip?

Lol

Warning to all ride share drivers. I am a driver of over a 1000 rides. I have noticed a trend. Anytime I "act up" according to Lyft, which means having a low cancellation percentage, cancelling a few rides due to safety concerns or the system automatically choosing another passenger for me after I accepted a ride going to pax and doing other things. I notice Lyft puts me offline. I check the Lyft pax app and I don't see my car there. Then I start to notice something fishy. On some days I can have 15 to 20 rides and more than half will tip. On other days where I sense I picked up tipable paxs I can have none. I know many drivers complained about paxs saying they would tip n never do. Well yesterday I pick up a old friend of mine. He said he would tip. I know this man for over 10 years..he is not a liar. Wake up today no tip. Call him and explain to him I suspect Lyft is taking my tips and I want to make sure, he sends me the mail
It's a damn 6 dollar too. Guess what...... Nothing. I suspect they are indeed

Ok my friend, I drove for Lyft and still drive for Uber, I deactivated my Lyft account. Reasons were, not paying enough to the drivers. I bought my car brand new 06/21/19 only had 17 miles, now it has 33,450. I make payments, I also have commercial insurance, besides my maintenance costs. Here's a smart one, no cash tip give pax 3 or 4, pax act stupid 1 or 2, slamming your doors, highly disrespectful. Pax who say they will tip on the app, never do!! I will call their bluff! Tip me before you get out of my car! 6 times out of 10 it works. Pax are paying skateboard prices for limo service. If I get a grocery run, 9 times out 10, the a**holes push their cart fully loaded up to my car, and get in the back seat. I have previously opened the trunk with trunk latch. They expect me to load up their crap, wrong!! I put the car in drive. Uber doesn't pay me to put their crap in my trunk! I don't care about my ratings.Rider's will always find something to b*tch about!! I have over 6500 trips with Uber. Drove cab for 12 years prior.

I had three friends who tried this with a company they constantly suffered under callous management, especially the smarmy vice president whom they all hated. Anyway they decided to infect the companies accounting system with a computer virus designed to divert fractions of pennies into a bank account. They believe that such transactions are small enough to avoid detection but will result in the accrual of a substantial amount of money over time. Of course there was a bug in the code that caused their virus to steal over $300,000 in only a few days, which is far more conspicuous...

Fortunately the three never got caught because a 4th employee set the whole building on fire and destroyed all evidence of the theft before fleeing to Mexico.
