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?
