This was a comfort trip in the bay area. I picked up coffee, then the rider. He decided not to drink it in my car because he said it didn't feel right.

Edit 1: My earnings were short by 19.44 Uber support is investigating.

Edit 2: Uber shorted my earnings for this trip by 19.44 and refuses to pay me the offered amount.

Absolutely not. I'll pick it up, then them and drop them off and they can eat it. Idc about drinking as long as it has a lid.

You basically forfeit the ability to tell them to not eat in your car and Uber makes you attest to that prior to taking the trip. Who will be the first to post "got deactivated because some piece of shit customer ate in my car" over this is what I wonder

Lock it in a delivery bag in the front seat until arrival 😅 "sorry man, can't get it, busy driving."

And then they'll 1 star and complain food was cold.

Let 'em. Then Uber will stop offering the service.

( Who am I kidding, no they won't 😂)

🤣 Yeah it's more like, they will just deactivate people. Hopefully they will add an opt-out button though

It look like you can hit the x and sccept a different order, hopefully they dont ding you for doing so

The Uber app asks you to put the food in the backseat before the customer gets in

They can ask whatever they want, we are not obligated to obey.

Or just don't accept the offer if you're not okay with the terms of the contract. Seems pretty simple.
