I have a standard set of lines that I say to every single rider as the ride is ending. "Have a Great rest of your day/night/stay/whatever, make sure you have everything with you as you step out". Even with that reminder, I still get one or two here or there. But mostly saying it works.
my driving sensei gave me good advice in 2015: "always ask exiting passengers if they have keys, wallets, cell phones"..i found dozens of reading glasses, some coats, keys, eyeliner applicators, glitter, puff bars, a couple of computers, a couple of wallets. i returned from vacation a day early from two hours away when i found a wallet wedged in the rail of my front passenger seat.. a large glass object appeared one afternoon. it had chambers, & smelled strange. my excellent rock star wife looked up the brand/model name on the internet. it turned out to be a very expensive bong. no one claimed it.
Someone left a pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses. To my amazement, no one contacted me to see if they'd left them in my car. Looked them up online. $480 glasses! 😮 Pristine condition, SUPER ugly. 😂 I waited 2 months before selling them on FB for $300!
I once had someone lose their phone in my car who wasn't even my passenger!!! Drunk College girl was giving her friend that was in my in my car a hug goodbye and apparently in that interaction left her phone on the back seat. She never even stepped a foot in my car🤦♂
I always checked the cab backseat before the next pick up. Phones were the most common thing left in cab. I simply waited for their phone to ring or they call taxi phone and it was always the owner. I simply charged them to bring it to them. No one ever got their coins or cash notes back. 😂
Hey guys. Will be great if you make a video about what is happening right now in some cities, including Miami, where drivers are losing their cars. Some of them are facing problems to pay the house rent. Uber keeps oversaturating the streets with new drivers, and the result of that is reaching already a lot of drivers.
I have a sign in the car they see it as soon they get in that Cez please make sure you take all your belongings with you returning. The items is a drivers waste of time and driver will not be responsible for your items since I put the sign. No one leaves nothing behind.
Well,i live in Cleveland,Ohio. I don't see the name of this town on the list. Why? I think,riders in that city got nothing left to lose and drivers too.😘
Wow... I'm very disappointed with you two fellows. Your juvenile antics regarding lost items don't make either of you look very good. At best, it displays a certain lack of empathy and a definite lack of imagination. At worst, you're deliberately demeaning the people who pay our wages. You're talking about real human beings. Yes -- someone might have left a couple of spiders behind, or "pregnancy pills". (Some women are prescribed birth control pills, for example, to treat fibroids and other painful reproductive system conditions, including those that can cause migraine headaches. They are also prescribed for acne…) There might have been a good reason for their forgetfulness. Perhaps the forgetful folks were rattled because they just learned of tragic news about close family or friends - or, hell, tragic news about themselves. They may have just learned they're about to be laid off, or a medical diagnosis revealed bad news to that previously healthy person. Maybe they'd been in a frightening traffic accident a few hours earlier and were still collecting themselves. Maybe they were new to the rideshare experience. We all have a mental "checklist" that we go through when we hop into our own car -- some might call that mental muscle memory. Our fixed routines go missing when we're in new surroundings. I NEVER lose my sunglasses or jacket in my own car - but I lose the damn things anywhere else. It's normal human behavior. And, I hope to hell you were only joking when you said that you'd sell lost umbrellas to future riders, or keep valuable memorabilia. (Did I really hear, "supply and demand"?) There’s something else I have heard two or three of the RSG personalities say regarding irritating passengers. Yes, it’s your car, yes, it’s your space. But isn’t it the passengers's space too during their ride? This only goes so far of course. What I was most troubled by were comments about drivers being irritated by riders who do little things, like using their phones. “NO, damnit - you’re NOT eating in my car!” “And, “I’m NOT changing my music for you. Happy to turn it down or off though…” I think that it’s entirely fair to ask someone to speak a little more quietly if you find their phone call distracting. Nothing wrong with having those sorts of reactions. Perhaps expecting just a little less of passengers might reduce some people’s stress levels. Yes, we’re in the transportation business, but I believe that we are equally in the customer service business. I’ve been in customer service for close to 60 years and I find the comments and behavior in this video abhorrent. It’s fine for private conversations, but I do hope you rethink your policy regarding some of the extremely rude, negative, public comments you often make about normal human behavior. I’ll close with this thought - think about any physical retail business you buy from. There’s a reason they’re your favorites - I’d bet it’s because they treat you well and/or are quite knowledgeable. You've come to trust "your store" and get the same helpful service at all of their other locations. So, how would you feel if you heard someone saying similar things about you as you concluded your purchase and headed toward the exit? What would that do to your opinion of them and the business they represent? Would you continue to return or speak favorably about them in the future??? My comments are not just about treating people with respect, it’s also about the fact that we’re in a retail business. That is, we interact face-to-face with the customers. We ought to remember this. Let me put this another way. It’s one thing for the “back room” people of a business to say unsavory things about their employer’s customers - warehouse workers, main office people, or the company’s truck drivers, for example. The folks who work face-to-face have the same right to say crappy things about their customers too, but say them in the break room or wait for the store to be locked up. Have at it. But for god’s sake, DON’T SPEAK THAT WAY IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC! Your videos are discoverable by anyone. I would be embarrassed if one of my riders told me they’d seen this particular video. You’ve embarrassed yourselves, but, frankly, you’ve embarrassed me and more broadly all the other drivers who have a kinder - or at least a more flexible view about our customers - customers who may find your comments offensive. I'm not sure exactly how I would react if asked, "Do you sell the things your passengers lose too???" Please, next time you review this sort of list - and you should - consider these thoughts. Aside from what I’ve said to this point, I have to tell you that I’d be nowhere without your typically instructive and always valuable videos, podcasts, and what you print on your website. I do sincerely thank you for the many and good, uncountable things you provide. Steve V.

My dignity.

I always checked the cab backseat before the next pick up.
Phones were the most common thing left in cab. I simply waited for their phone to ring or they call taxi phone and it was always the owner. I simply charged them to bring it to them.
No one ever got their coins or cash notes back. 😂
Some one left a purse with hundreds of dollars half hangin out... She was soo tired.... I stupidly called her and gave it back 😪

I kept a jig saw only cause I didn’t know who it belonged to so I could return it.

On two seperate rides last Friday night I had two sorority girls at different times in the night both leave their phones in my car. Argh.
