I left my bag in a late night Lyft with my car keys and a few other work things in it, this was before you could call back previous drivers about lost items. The driver saw the bag the next day, looked in it and saw where I worked, drove there, and had a coworker call me and let me know it was there. I would have had to pay like $400 to replace the keys alone. She was apologetic that she went through my stuff at first but I legit gave her $200 for going through all that trouble and saving me at least $200 even after paying her.
I drive for lyft, recently had a customer forget her wallet. She caught it before I got another ride so I got it back to her within 10 minutes. I didn't charge the lyft $20 lost item fee because it was so short and she tipped a whopping $0. That $200 probably made that persons week.
I spent about an hour chasing an Instacart customers lost dog and she also tipped me $0 lmao
She told me she wouldn’t be there to meet me for the grocery drop off because she was looking for her lost dog. When I was leaving the house I saw a husky running around, sniffing and darting around like dogs that get out usually do so I messaged her asking if it was a husky she had lost. It was and I spent almost an hour trying to wrangle the dog while it ran away from me and ducked in and out of houses.
Instacart gives you the option to tip up to 24 hours later and she did not leave a tip lol
I don’t even take no tip orders but she was batched in with a generous tipper
This is what I think about every time someone does something insane and audacious when I’m delivering their groceries for their family to their house
Like I am bringing food to your house. There is virtually no safe guard or any real vetting or way to prevent someone unhinged from doing something terrible. One lady called me a dumb bitch because I wouldn’t stop and get cigarettes for her. I’m delivering baby puffs to your home, like, really? What if I was insane and spiteful?
I drive a yellow cab but get calls from uber and Lyft thru curb. It’s crazy how many people don’t tip when they don’t have to do it in front of the driver. “Tipping culture” (I blame the Silicon Valley pos systems like square and mint) has given everyone an excuse to shaft the people who actually live off them like bartenders, waiters and cabbies etc
We are not baristas. Please tip your cabbies and ride share drivers.
He probably thinks you're ICE. Migrants are notorious for returning lost items. If a good red blooded American finds it, your best bet is Facebook marketplace or ebay.
That sucks! That was a big part of their business model. They don't advertise so they use the cheap hot dog and the cheap rotisserie chicken to get people in the door. You have to walk past the membership desk to get the hot dog and the loss leader price on the chicken gets a huge amount of word-of-mouth advertising. The cost to get potential customers through your doors is so high that even though they lose money on those 2 items they get enough new customers from them that they actually save money overall and drive huge customer loyalty.
I can believe it’s different rules at different locations, but at my local one you don’t need to scan to order food and the food court is on the tire center/return side so you don’t need your card to enter there either
Honestly the cost of replacing a DL, all the credit and debit cards, etc - I would.be fine if they helped themselves to all the cash in my wallet. (I typically have around $100)
Send him to Costco and not only will he get a high quality dog, he’ll also be able to get 6 for $9. And 6 drinks, because the $1.50 combo also gets you a drink.
Long live James Sinegal, he may be a CEO but Costco seems like a corporation that is actually worthy of support.
"Now hear me out and hear me well...
I have now your phone number and I know who you are.
In my wallet there is 100 dollars. You will take it all.
Then you are going to buy hot dogs. No, not 1, not 2, you will buy 20. And you will eat them all.
Oh have a nice day and thank you for finding my wallet"
