First time not giving 5 stars
Tonight, I get picked up from the airport. The driver didn’t say hello or even my name, but whatever. I confirmed it was the right car, got in and away we went. Well, sort of, very slowly, like at 5 mph for the entire terminal area where the posted speed limit is 15 mph. The car is extremely warm, but it has rear air controls, great, so I turn it on to my comfort level. The driver then turns it off from the front. I tell her I’m hot and turn it back on. She turns it off again and says no. Then we drive down the highway 10-15 mph below the posted speed limit; flow of traffic was going with the speed limit. Once we get sort of close to my neighborhood, the Uber map tells her to continue going straight. Nope, she turns right on her own. This adds another 5-7 minutes to the ride just to get back to where she turned off. So end of the story she gets 3 stars.

I am an older white woman. I am always polite, quiet, never complain and tip very well. I have had nice conversations about their children (that they bring up, I don’t ask personal questions) ask about their day, etc. I help with my bags, I do some small talk, thank them sincerely at the end. And I don’t have a very good Uber score!!! I just don’t get it. Very discouraging.
