I'm on 4.77... I guess if you load/unload lots of stuff, aren't ready to go on time, etc then they might mark you down. I imagine a tip will get you 5*.


On the subject of tipping - I do usually leave a tip (as long as it's not a "surge" fare), as the drivers really don't earn much. I know Uber is a bit controversial for a whole load of reasons, but it's just so damn convenient! And actually a real life-saver over the past year with the constant rail strikes. Leaving a couple of quid extra eases my conscience a bit.

It's like eBay - the more feedback you get, the less likely it is to be 100% - because there are always some people who will complain.


So there's always going to be a few drivers who will rate you less than 5*


To get a rate of 4.6 could mean 60% 5* and 40% 4*. There are many permutations, try here: https://www.ait-pro.com/aitpro-blog/tools/star-rating-calculator.php

I do tip. I guess that's why.

Clocking high there bruv. Big score. I don't tip as most drivers don't expect it. Exceptions are where they go out the way / beyond the call.

Mines 4.71. Do you think they charge more based on ratings? I've just thought about this. I changed my name months ago on it so I couldn't be tracked via Facebook and other social media.

4.6 - ouch. Though I do recall a few episodes a month or two back where drivers had the habit of, from elephant and castle, driving me down OKR to get me to Goose Green - a practice which I allowed once and then objected to thereafter. Or I could be a complete witch.

I never tip - I hadn't even considered it in an Uber until this thread, which is odd given that I invariably tip in black and mini cabs. I can't say I always have a chat with the guys, but I don't remember being impolite.


Maybe the drivers are more forthright in their feedback, the fact that these days you're asked "what went wrong?" if you give less than 5 to the driver makes me think that the ratings on the two sides are asymmetrical.


Yes, it is all a bit Black Mirror.

    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded! 
    • I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.
    • Looking for used decking boards. Should be hardwood
    • I have fond memories of Govinda's I used to go there  back in the 90's (maybe earlier) for an affordable tasty lunch..I was wondering if its still around. Now I have to make a point of going there. Does anyone else remember a really affordable basement cafe run by the church in a street off of Golden Square? parallel to Regent Street? I also used to love the Vegetarian cafe on Neal Street in the basement (Neal Street Cafe?) and there was an inczredible inexpensive authentic Japanese resturant I use to go to with my Japanese friends (who introduced me to it) tucked away behind Long Acre where that brown brick modern building ('modern' I think it went up in the 90's!) now stands that fronts Long Acre and Neal Street..I think it was called Asakasa or something?
