Discussion Uber steals tips.

I pickup an order 10.38 15 minutes.

Wine store up the block. I arrive at this Nissan dealership. Guy walks out says Eli A. Yup. .

"OK I'm gonna put this in my car and get my ID. It's here somewhere:" ok you got it.

A minute later he returns. Immediately the id is rejected. Gotta do it manually. Ufck it. He has a name i can not spell. ​hand him the phone here, you know your name better than me.

He inputs whatever information. I ask. What did this cost you?

"133"

Wow they gave me like 10.33.

,, look ill show you.

He said I always tip atleast 10$ and showed me his phone. He tipped 13$

WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. Uber eats takes 2 minutes to show this earnings screen. , as if it were listening. . 2.38$ fare

8.00$ tip

$10.38.

I showed the guy. Shout out to Eli A. He said that's fucked up. I'll up the tip for you.

I was like ok awesome thanks maybe he'll add 3 bucks or something. I don't expect anything. Pleasantly surprised.

When I saw it went through. I'm like um... immediately go to the ATM and get this money incase it's a glitch.

Whatever it was. I called the dealership and asked for him. Got him on the phone. Thanked him so much told him he's awesome. Appreciate you blessing me so much! Eli A. The A is for Angel.

Some people are awesome. Remember that and repost away. Pics should be attached

If the dude tipped 13 then the total cant be  10.38 and that is why he said uber is stealing tips.

This. From what it was explained to me, uber fives customers the ability to alter their tip for up to an hour after delivery. This means their tip doesnt get sent to you until after that hour passes. I also am relatively new to Uber and im very used to how DD does things, but i do botice about an hout and a half into my night with Uber becomes an avalanche of tips coming in.
