I was visiting Chicago last week and decided to use Uber to get around rather than trying to park in the city. I noticed I was having a hard time getting drivers to accept my request and had a couple cancel on me. It was then I noticed that somehow my rider rating had dropped to 4.25. This didn't make sense to me as I'm always prompt and courteous, but then it dawned on me.
My R1S requires closing the door firmly to latch, so I'm in the habit of putting some force into the closing. As a result, I've accidentally slammed the doors of other cars on occasion. It turns out this is big no-no in the world of Uber, and often results in drivers giving 1-star ratings. Sure enough, I had 3 1-star ratings to go with my 5-star ratings. I don't use Uber very often so they are weighted especially heavily. Going forward I'll be more careful, but the damage is done and I may have to use taxis or Lyft instead the next time I travel. I wanted to offer this as a warning to others, and see if anyone else has had a similar experience.
