Lost item in car
I’m a driver, I see this discussion many times, riders get angry because drivers won’t drop everything to return a lost item such as a phone. We only receive $20 for a lost item, and that’s only if you bother to report to Uber you got the item back. Many of you will promise a big tip if you get it back to you ASAP, and more often than not stiff. Depending on the time involved to return your phone, the $20 could easily be half or more of what we earned. I can’t speak for all drivers, but going forward, I’m not going out of my way to return any item. Either I’m returning it at my convenience, I’ll ship it to COD, or I’ll give you my address and I’ll leave it on my porch. I’m tired of returning items and barely getting a thank you from some people. At the end of the day, this was your mistake, not mine. I will not pay a price for your mistake.
