I wonder what "above and beyond" would look like on all those minimum fares from East Campus to Shooters?

Are you referring to the driver or rider going above and beyond? According to Michael, riders should receive less than five stars for simply using the service as intended. That's fuggin stoopid.

Hey! That's a great idea! Just remember that turnabout is fair play. Next time I take an Uber ride and I don't get free water, candy, an iPhone 6 charger cable, complete control over the radio, complete control over the a/c, etc...I'll downrate the driver!

Seriously, that's petty, man.

l a pax gets from me is a ride! Buy your own water and listen to your music on your phone!

Not sure where I saw the comment but whoever said they never give 5's unless the passenger tips I thought that was a bit unprofessional. Seems like the issue is really with Uber and not the customers. Nobody tells the customers they have to tip. I was a rider in Asheville once and this guy had signs all over his car that said Uber does not let you tip drivers in the app and he complained about it the whole ride saying how the pay was unfair and Uber lies, etc. I was with my wife and her family and it made us all very uncomfortable with such passive aggressive comments. Yeah he never came out and directly asked, but we all knew what he was getting at. You want to just give him a few bucks so he'd stop griping about it.

Welcome to Whose Uber is it Anyway?, the ride where everything is made up and the ratings don't matter.

Above and beyond would mean you had a keg in your trunk!

PAX ratings matter to me. If you are 15 minutes away and your rating if 4.6 and lower I may not come get you. If your rating is 4.6 and lower and you are a college kid, I might pass on you. These are just isolated examples..point be…use the passenger rating for your benefit.

I agree with that. I picked up a guy from Duke during their Alumni Week and his rating was 4.3. He was so obnoxious, it was easy to tell why his rating was so low. I didn't notice his rating until he starting speaking. I've learned to look at that first!

Now that your driving wouldn't some tips make the job somewhat make sense?

^ha, ya I guess I get it now. I guess I'm just not the type to mention or ask for tips. I've accepted tips graciously, but to ask for one would make me very uncomfortable. Like a waiter asking for a tip at a restaurant.

I agree? I never ask for a tip. But the service at standard rate is very cheap. Or is it expensive if a person is using it on a regular basis?

If waiters only got tipped 3% of the time they WOULD be asking...

I think the way the app and business models are designed, uber tries pretty hard to not make passengers think about money while they are driving. Can't say any passengers, especially younger passengers, let it even cross their mind
