If your rating made you cringe, you can fix it. Start with the basics: be ready when the car arrives. Standing on the curb like a lost penguin while the driver circles is a guaranteed star-killer.
Second, pick a meeting spot that’s not “somewhere near that tree.” Drivers appreciate clarity. And for crying out loud, don’t eat a smelly burrito in the back seat unless you’ve just finished a marathon.
Lastly, be human. A simple “hey, how’s your day?” goes a long way. Silence is fine, but being a warm blob of human is better. Your rating is just a reflection of how you treat a stranger you’ll never see again.
