It's a little disgusting that we rate people, but the ratings are not on the person as a whole, but how they are passengers. Now, normally I would rate someone a 5/5 as long as they don't annoy me. But I do have some general rules that will affect a passenger's rating from me.
How to Lose Stars
Putting in the wrong pickup location- 1 star (if you even end up finding them)
Putting in the wrong destination- 1 star
Texting or calling saying they are going to be out in a couple of minutes- 1 star
Finishing a smoke before they get in my car- 1 star
Asking to smoke in my car- 1 star
Touching my head unit- 1 star
Asking if I have an AUX cable
Asking if I have water for them- 1 star
Asking if I have mints- 1 star
Asking if I have drugs- depends which drug
Complaining about the size of my car 1 star (usually middle-aged women)
Giving backseat directions 1 star
Spilling something- 3 stars
Yelling out windows- 3 stars
Maccas run- 2 stars
Littering out window- 5 stars
Throwing up- 5 stars
How to Gain Stars
Passengers starts with 5 stars
1 extra star for every 10 kilometres
3 stars for any surge over 2x
Tipping - $5 per star
Finding alcohol in the backseat and giving it to me 5 stars
Being a genuine good person- 5 stars
I give most people 5 stars. Most people are great and just want to get to their destination. It's the people that are expecting chauffeur service, more stuff at my expense, I don't like it. They're already getting a bargain on Uber rates.
I don't pick anyone up with a rating below 4.6 stars unless it's a surge. Or really close.
So passengers, I hope you have learnt a bit about etiquette. Drivers, I hope you've learned a little about how to be stingier with your stars. If you have any additions or queries, let me know in the comments.
