Uber gives its drivers a very measly tip for driving back and returning lost items, an amount that surely does not cover their opportunity cost in lost gigs. I once left my bag in an Uber in New York and tipped separately in cash when I got it back.
Mrs. Betty BowersTook an Uber today and left my phone under the armrest. I panicked when I realized it was gone. So I borrowed a phone to call mine to see if it was in the room. The Uber driver picked up. She had come back and was in the lobby trying to find me. There *are* good people amongst us.
