Ordered a smoothie through Uber Eats. The order arrived while I was showering, and when I finished, I noticed I’d missed messages from the driver asking, “Can I get a tip?” Weird, considering I’d already included a tip when placing the order. I checked my security camera footage, and it showed him knocking multiple times, calling out “HELLO?!”, and lingering around my door for a min or two.
Now, I like to give ppl the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he’s new to Uber, but seriously? Doesn’t Uber show drivers that a tip was already included? And why are you trying so hard to get someone to answer the door just to ask for an additional tip?
Anyways, I bring the drink inside and notice the lid is off the cup, resting loosely on top of it with half the top uncovered. The restaurant unfortunately didnt seal the bag, either. The drink itself looked completely full, so I can’t tell whether the lid simply came off during transit or something else happened.
Needless to say, I don’t trust it, especially after the driver’s unusual behavior. I’m not accusing him of tampering with anything because I obviously have no direct proof, but the whole situation feels off.
Would you guys report this to Uber? My biggest hesitation is that this guy knows where I live, and I really don’t want to risk retaliation over a complaint. Does anyone know whether Uber tells drivers when a customer reports them?
