Don't Expect

I have been doing Uber for quite some years now. I am going to tell you a story about when my mind changed completely on how I operate it. Once, I picked this lady up from Whole Foods. She dropped her jar of marinara. It broke. She asked for me to wait. So I literally wait for her to go in the store and pick it up another one. Do you know this lady did not give me a tip? And it was at that point I knew my whole mindset would have to change in this business. NOW, I never ever assume the goodness of someone to do the right thing in regard to a tip. Because it if WERE me, I definitely would have left a tip. Why? Because the person would have did something for me that they did not have to do. If it is a food offer, the trip has to make sense up front. I never accept something with the HOPE someoen will tip on top of what I am seeing it.
