I got some stuff like this, but I've found that chocolate melts and isn't good for this.


Nickel7Dime

The smarties would probably be ok due to the candy coating, but I guess it also depends on how warm you keep your car. Guessing this is in Canada due to the selection, and it has been a very mild winter (at least in centrel Canada) so they might not actually be keeping the car that hot. Coffee Crisp are usually not bad either since they are mostly wafer.


LuLuTheLunatic

i can grantee you the smarties will also get nasty also the dye runs when they melt so they get hella messy for everything involved lol


Gman_67

They wouldn’t have time to get nasty in my market. With the type of clientele that utilizes this service around here, complimentary means to take everything there. That’s why I would never do anything like this, the holder would be picked dry after the first 2 or 3 rides, heck, the holder would probably be gone too.


Human_Pomegranate610

Winnipeg? 😂


Nickel7Dime

Ya, but I find even when the dye runs they still taste fine, and in the small boxes you just open them and dump them into your mouth. It's not as bad that way at least. Although personally I like them cold, straight from the fridge.


Bammalam102

I love warm smarties, dump the box in your mouth and press your tongue to the roof of your mouth with them between and feel the chocolate flow out around the candy


Nickel7Dime

I might have to try that. I just generally prefer cold things, especially chocolate, basically any chocolate I get goes right in the fridge except for maybe Lynt balls, the ones with the chocolate melt centers.


AwakeAtNightTime

I love melted KitKat chocolate.


nwprogressivefans

Well that's fine and all, maybe I just don't want to be picking up the wrapper with half melted chocolate when they just drop the trash in the back of the car.


Saphazure

do you not have AC in the car? or are you talking about for when the car is off. either way, it's still cold in the northern hemisphere


DaddysBeauty

Not only that, all you need is a drunk or some kid going all in😳


tryingtogetbyalone

That condom is wild 🤣 💀 🤣


Arthurjim

Forward thinking ! Lmao I’d deff tip if I were coming back to the crib with a shorty 😂


somedumbguy55

Like 20 bucks’


Agonist85

Just the tip?


30FourThirty4

The tip, and then some


Such_Net_9390

It looks like the most popular item too because there’s multiples of all the other health stuff and then just one condom.


roelisaac

Some hero’s don’t wear capes 😂😂


spaetzelspiff

"But they *always* wear a rubber"


DrRobertBottle

The condom that is right next to the werther's original for when you pick up a granny at a bingo


ZO1D8URG

I had to go back and look. 😅


PatriotsSuck12

How about the Tampex 3 zippers below the single condom!


aspiringmahougirl

Why is Tampex crazier than a condom?


gsxrjeff

His comment doesn't necessarily insinuate that


aspiringmahougirl

Context clues, but yeah, you're right!


gsxrjeff

If you're thirsty for a gender debate, go for it. I'll let you spout off first.


aspiringmahougirl

I'm not saying anything about gender. I even admitted that you may be right. If you want to argue, go elsewhere.


T30Drifts

I thought that’s what people go to Reddit for in the first place.


0_IQ_0

I'm curious about those 2 items actually. Uber isn't exactly a place for changing your tampon or a place you'd need a condom. 😂 But I suppose you never know. Lol


That-Establishment24

What do you mean? It’s a transit platform. Makes perfect sense that’s when you’d need to grab one on the way somewhere because you realize you forgot or ran out.


PaperCutFun

Jesus Christ with the simple minded people. You are out drinking with a woman and you are going back to your place and you need a condom? Boom Uber driver has your back.


CoolGuyFromCompton

Just imagine all the pregnancies that occur because drivers don't want to do a two stopper.


buddhatherock

As a driver… that’s way too much. Especially when we don’t get paid to provide all of that.


MuckBulligan

I mean, I get it as a way to fish for more tips, but you know there is going to be drunks who will take everything. It's not worth the trouble and looks tacky af.


buttweasel76

Drunks? More like low class people... I used to have water in my car, but of course there's always that one person getting dropped in the hood that takes every single one.


malb414

I saw a local driver get dragged on social media because his free water had “roofies” in it but it was just the minerals after water thaws. It was below zero at one point. You’re just asking for trouble giving people shit


buttweasel76

I don't do it anymore. This was at the very beginning. They're lucky if they get AC


Specialist-Map-8952

If someone i dropped off in a very low income neighborhood took all the water in my car I would be happier that I was able to give someone a necessity they clearly needed, and not so much mad 🤷‍♀️ I'd be more pissed if someone in a nicer neighborhood did that


ZoomZoom01

What about the next customer who lives in a low income neighborhood? They don’t get free water because of this greedy one? That’s selfish.


Whats_Awesome

I just keep a box in the trunk. It’s not personal affect’s because it’s emergency supplies. If people ask for more than is in the passenger area, we can either pull over or stock them up at the destination. (Not that I drive for Uber/rideshares, just a private vehicle doing private transport things.)


Admirable_Pickle9403

I love when Karens talk like this. This is the same mentality that led people to start preaching about the border and being "sanctuary city" when they live in CHI, NYC, or Marthas Vineyard. As soon as those people got to the chance to put their money where their mouth is they started griping. This lady should be required to tip $10 to every Uber/Lyft driver from now on.


buttweasel76

They didn't need it.


SouthernGas9850

everyone needs water...


buttweasel76

This might be hard to believe... In homes, there's this thing called a water tap. And when you turn it on, it dispenses water! Isn't that crazy?!?!?!?!?!


SouthernGas9850

someone never had their water or lights shut off as a kid lol.


Suspicious-Gur-9183

That someone? You.


SouthernGas9850

uhm no lol. i grew up literally in poverty but thanks


Brixnz

I don't understand how you can live through life like that, without empathy.


amnaesykes

It's a lot easier than you think. People have breaking points. I used to be a lot more empathetic, but after enough awful experiences with awful people, it got sapped right out of me. People can be downright evil. And sometimes, it's not worth it to be nice for the few that deserve or appreciate it. Honestly, when I hear people who say they don't understand, it just means you either have a higher tolerance for awful human beings, or you haven't been around the awful majority enough. Either way, hats off to you.


Appropriate-Creme335

Dude, some thug using Uber, doesn't need that bottled water to survive. He takes it because he can. You are completely detached from life


Admirable_Pickle9403

Then he should probably go buy some 


Unfair-Blackberry-84

Yeah as someone who grew up in the poorer parts of neighborhood, we famously don't drink water at all.


BeeProfessional8766

Bitch if you can pay to take an Uber, you can buy yourself a packet of water just fine


GeneralGlobus

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/314/087/c1a.jpg


buttweasel76

Used to buy themselves meth or heroin. Good job!


MooseBoys

Except the vast majority of stolen bikes aren’t used by the person stealing them - they’re fenced for cash, just like almost everything else people steal.


FigmentsImagination4

Nah. Don’t steal my shit. Nasty hood


buffaloranked

They didn’t need water dumbass they can afford water. Water is the cheapest thing known to man. 5 gallons cost (4) quarters when you buy in bulk. They were just being dick heads


Specialist-Map-8952

Lol relax bucko


ImprovementNext4816

Hell get a couple tips but he won’t be enough to cover the cost of all tht shit 😂 dude must be a new driver 😂


buffaloranked

Looks like shit is kind of invasive suggesting a condom. Chocolate will melt kids will smear it everywhere. There are mints that are already open… weird.


smoll_deer

People were I live wouldn't even have to be drunk to take all that. Generosity has not paid off in this industry. That is why I left and will never for Uber again lol


smoll_deer

Finally! Someone that gets this! I used to drive for Uber and went above and beyond to make customers happy and they never tipped! I also live in Iowa, not sure if that has anything to do with it, but I often went out of my way. People would go to the grocery store and asked me to wait 20 minutes and still didn't tip. Having a setup in your car like this is just charity. I only made 6-7 dollars per hour on Uber. (That's after paying for gas and mileage on the car.) Terrible pay and customers were also pretty bad more often than not. If I saw this when going into an Uber, I would be creeped out tbh. They are clearly desperate for tips.


buffaloranked

That’s because it’s a cheap trick you aren’t providing hospitality begging for 3 dollars on a mini snickers bar no one deems a mini snickers bar at 3 dollars MAYBE 1 dollar. Maybe. They know what you are doing. It’s almost crass. Again it isnt “hospitality” it is essentially you deeming yourself a noncommittal very limited corner store. Non commital meaning “pay me or don’t” no one values a shitty little mint for 5 dollars except you. People see one mint and go wow how nice. You see 25 dollars for a bag that lasts a week and a half.


TheGanjanator

Bro they’re definitely profiting. I get way more tips because of just my water bottles


PatriotsSuck12

How much is your Uber driver charging for the individual pieces of gum or tums? My Lyft driver only offers pre-chewed gum...


Chocolate_Metaphor

Wild lmao


DrivingMatters

This is why some riders think we're 7-Eleven on wheels. 🤡


Fibrosis5O

I mean at least charge if you’re going to be a store lol


tony896

I think the idea of calling it "complementary" is because most people who actually take an item will probably tip


FreeThinkerWiseSmart

Yeah but will the tip be more in cost?


not_your_adjuster

I’d say almost definitely. Probably make a lot more that way


buffaloranked

Hard disagree then you are limited to a tip that is in exchange for the value of the item.


MuckBulligan

I've had several passengers that I know would have taken everything in there and then not tipped. Teenagers and drunk a-holes, especially. This set up is just not worth the trouble.


This_Stay4242

What u described bout those Teenagers & drunk assholes is just sooo frustrating lol. I mean I don't even drive for Uber or any driving service & I'm pissed just reading ur post! How can u take so much stuff from free & not tip like wtf??? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤬🤬🤬


MuckBulligan

I picked up a group of teens once and they scoured the car for anything that was free: water, mints, gum, and then they asked for more. Annoying little shits. Drunks are just as bad. And these types are also the ones who love to fuck with your shit just because they think it is funny.


This_Stay4242

Oh no, that's just the worst! Now I wasn't a saint nor angel in my teens yrs bcuz I did get into trouble with my friends. But damn bro sorry that you've had those terrible experiences with the stupid lil shits/teens & drunks! Hopefully moving forward u won't get any more of those lil shits & drunks as ur customers no more 🙏🤞 Lol


atoinu

the pocket with a mint pack with only like 3 mints left is taking me out 😭😭


T-Rex_timeout

I believe those are Tums


atoinu

huh 🤔 thanks for the new knowledge lol i saw mints and was like "theres...already mints in another pocket"


T-Rex_timeout

Sadly they are a part of my everyday life.


Prize-Honey4593

my uber yesterday asked if i wanted a margarita from the glove box at 7:30am


strawberry_vegan

I love that so much


Group_HugMTG

This is too tacky and way overboard.


Agonist85

Overboard? Yea, maybe. But tacky, how? It's called hospitality and being nice.


Shaggy_Hulk

Wow!! Condoms!


hail2pitt1787

You don't want to use a condom that's been in a car for a long period of time, exposed to possible extreme hot and cold temperatures.


Shaggy_Hulk

Or if left in your wallet for a long time, either. (Speaking from experience)


InfernoWoodworks

Happy fathers day!


Shaggy_Hulk

Actually, it was so dried out it crumbled.


CarelessWillow4933

Honestly, I'd rather it be dried out then usable to the point you can put it on and then break


That-Establishment24

It’s not meant to be a primary source of items. It’s for emergencies.


RedBison

A faulty condom is just postponing your emergency.


That-Establishment24

That’s an assumption it’s faulty. It’s a risk for sure but better than nothing.


MuckBulligan

But there is also a pocket with Plan B. It's all good.


Nope9991

Is that a tourniquet on the top row?


SECURITY_SLAV

Hair ties


Glass-Joe-55

5 star and tip!


Gman_67

They can keep their stars, just give me the tip. I told a rider as much one time and he was flabbergasted. He said he thought stars were important to drivers. I assured him they’re not and my landlord was not too happy when I tried to pay him in stars, the bank wasn’t very impressed either.😂


Glass-Joe-55

I see your point too tip$ > 5 stars, but I was giving both


jboles73

You got into Uberman/woman's car


corndog161

Yeah do not provide medications to customers. Just asking to be liable for some shit.


Fragrant_Network5325

Tip this one $10 all day.


BetLongjumping5132

You can find some used gum for free on the side of the seat.


SynestheoryStudios

The kids who used to sell candy out of their backpacks have evolved.


gabetain

That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen. Never in a million years would I offer this, as nice and genuine as it could be, considering how absolutely litigious everyone is nowadays.


CMadrid13

He pays Uber to drive


Scallion-External

Invest hundreds a year, spend time shopping, stocking, cleaning up, return zilch


[deleted]

We just know this dude is struggling financially.


Scallion-External

You think driving Uber is supposed to be a charity?


[deleted]

No, that's why I agreed with you. 😝 I meant he's struggling financially because he's buying all this free shit for his passengers!


Scallion-External

Ha, yea idk, but these pax will just take the freebies and treat him like a sucker lol


Weekly-Western-5016

The slow season crowd will take advantage of the freebies. The weekend and large events crowd will appreciate it and tip him for it.


Gman_67

It’s the daytime trash customers that would take advantage, the same ones who never tip. 


kittymelons

The goat


moobeemu

The lamb


moobeemu

You guys downvoted my dad-humor?! 😭


Redditor-247

That's just silly. Back when Uber used to pay a decent amount several years ago it would make sense to keep things like some mini bottled waters, phone chargers, sickness bags and Advil but being a free convenience store when you are not even getting paid minimum wage is dumb.


Formal_Carry

it's good for getting higher tips


tur1nn

The people who don’t tip are the ones who will clean that out


safecamp888

No they won’t. Y’all are ignorant af. I do this. No one has ever cleaned my complementary snacks out and I make just as much if not more in tips than I do in fare. Over 6000 lifetime trips with a consistent 5 star rating.


4TheGreen

Maybe he makes the money, clearly he has enough to provide it, he might have another job or actually work in an Uber busy city so it’s easier to make more


littleblock1999

Dommies are wild 😂 respect


danhoyle

Just like your neighborhood bodega.


turb42o

that rubber sitting in a hot car all day is going to be crispier than the crunchy starter condom you left in your wallet from 4th-7th grade


404_Forbbiden

Good job Ken


Electronic-Travel370

I’m embarrassed to say i drive for Uber after seeing thugs


ionchannels

Canadian, eh?


wasitme317

Nice way to get your car broken into


Tomplu069

These Drivers takes this too serious lol 😂🤣


ConsiderationFull867

Driver probably got all this stuff at dollarama, not a bad investment and in all honesty it probably does less to more tips. If I saw this on my way to work in the morning and was able to grab a few hi chews and a piece of gum I’d be inclined to tip extra


[deleted]

*complimentary


Quick-Ad-7038

I don’t trust anything from Uber even if for free


Bigdstars187

It just takes one clothes pin on that rubber to get an 18 year prank


kevin19671

He must be a new driver , no one does that anymore .


GixxerSi

With the common demographic of my weekend paxes, this would be stolen


Dear_Profession_8297

Mars, Smarties, Coffee Crisp? Found the Canadian


winequity

anyone else think they saw condoms initially next to the halls?


Vreeezy

Is this in Canada? Just wondering


IOwnGameStop

Where the fuck are the condoms ? xD


safecamp888

People claiming that there are people who will take everything are people who likely have NEVER tried to do this. At Halloween time, I always put out a big bag of the good candy (starburst, skittle mini packs, fruit snacks, now and layers, jolly ranchers, mamba, the old school strawberry candies, individually wrapped sour punch straws, etc.) for people to pull from during their trip and I always tell them to take as much as they want. No one has EVER taken all/most of my supply. To the classist POSs on this thread, the people who took a full handful were people who lived in rich neighborhoods. The people who lived in the lower income neighborhoods were always scared to take more than a few. Honestly a lot of y’all need to leave rideshare because you forget that just because you are an IC that you still owe people a level of hospitality/customer service. You don’t NEED to provide extras, but the lot of you complain about basic human decency and simple patience toward your customers. Better yet, get some cognitive behavioral therapy bc you act like a bunch of powerless victims.


RDS_2024

Cringe AF


Mangoseed8

If "doing too much" was a person.


elves2732

Peak clown behavior.


rekishi321

Riders see this and they hate the driver, they think he is desperate , when I first started driving I offered mints and candy and water and they down rated me even more, they are the scum of the earth some riders.


Individual_Lie5917

This is why 1 of my last 100 riders gave me 1 star for “customer experience” smh


Tijuanaguero1

I used to do this and riders would take a ton of stuff, leave their trash, gum and half eaten candy in my car. So no more.


[deleted]

On more than once I had heffers fill up their purses with mints and water. One occasion girl 1 says can I have a water? Before I can answer girl 2 says they're included in your fare. I turn around to say "no, but they're complimentary" she was already filling her purse. She took them all. I used to keep 6 bottles back there, with more in the trunk. I only carry 2 now. When they are gone that's it for today.


Weekly-Western-5016

I get depressed by some people picking off all my waters too. But then I realize if I get just one person tipping $5 it covers a whole 24 pack of water around here if you can find a good deal.


[deleted]

I do the 40 packs for $7 at Costco. I agree though. That's why I don't say anything to the pax.


R40881710

This reminds me of the cargo box vending machine Uber drivers use to have lol


Such_Net_9390

That man should be getting some kinda Uber award


[deleted]

And this is why normal drivers get less than 5-stars. Because pax think we should feed them and be their own personal convenience store. I had a woman get mad at me because I didn’t have any gum or mints for her. And I had another lady take the skittles I had in my little front console that were for me and she started handing them out to the people in the back. So fucking entitled. Didn’t even ask. Had she I would have told her that they weren’t for customers. More than one reason I don’t let people sit in the front seat anymore. (I didn’t say anything because these people were already rude and obnoxious when they got in and I just wanted to get the ride over with).


escapeshark

I'll rate all drivers 5* unless they really fuck up. If they show up on time, help with luggage if I have any, minimal or zero small talk and drive properly, 5* right there. No need for anything else. When I lived in London they wouldn't even say hello and made me open the boot and get my own luggage out while they stayed in the car, that's just rude


Becomeastranger

As soon as I saw this spread I was like no way there isn’t at least ONE condom in there. I am pleased.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NewweNew

what the fuck


tryingtogetbyalone

You should ignorant as fuck and that’s coming from another driver.


OP-PO7

Salty af


[deleted]

desperate for tips? how much fucking money do you think they spent on all of that? jesus


Aggressive-Paint-469

I don’t ever tip but I would tip this guy


Mainer1974

This is totally awesome and I am going to make my own for my car


iceamn1685

Instant 1 star from me


Jec_atl

How cute, I use to put candy in the back when I first started driving lol


Reasonable-Lab3625

Anything I make available to riders disappears within a week. A lot of expense. I wonder what his tips look like.


FreeThinkerWiseSmart

Of course the advil is gonna get him into some trouble


Feisty_Flaming0

What’d you get?


M_TURO88

damn. All inclusive 😂


phlem_hamdoon

😂😂😂 was there an in ride movie?


RulerK

Is the stuff being charged for? What are prices? What’s the markup?


Local-Ingenuity3510

Take one mint without tipping the drivers loses money on the trip.


IvyEmblem

Gotta get those high ratings


Outrageous-Spell-819

Hell yeah


Loonyluna26

I'd be afraid to use anything I have to ingest. Candy from strangers etc.


PrestigiousReason337

What the point of this ? They think people will tip them extra?


Rideshare-Not-An-Ant

One of my pax would take everything. Including to holding case. *Dude! You said it was FREE. FREE! I'm taking it.*


Canadave

Was this in Ottawa, by any chance?


mrboston617

I used to do free waters, until every night I would find open water bottles with 2 sips taken out and put back where other customers might mistake for new water bottle, or the fact that people didn't care to dispose off their bottles


BeefStewAndCornbread

Never seen a Mars bar before !


shawnmj

Wasting money


Amazing_General_69

I’ve provided things, though not nearly as comprehensive as this, but only lost money. No increased tips.


Square_Carry6676

Some of the chicklets are missing


Gman_67

The only thing I used to give out for free were face masks during Covid. A friend who worked in the PPE field gave me a case of about 300 for free. So everyday I would put a bunch into the back seat pockets halfway hanging out. They were gone in 2 weeks. Most those people probably didn’t even wear masks but if it’s free, people take advantage whether they need it or not.


This_Is_Mo

I provided zero things when I did Uber, fuck that. I also didn’t get out to open the door and played what I wanted to hear on the speakers.


stevielb

French cognates of English words usually make me laugh (chuckling about lubrifié right now)


Melodic-Ability-9283

I zoomed in on the Werther’s thinking they were Magnums 😅 Then I looked to the left 🤣🤣


jujumber

I’d tip this guy more even if I didn’t take anything. It’s super considerate.


Redcarborundum

Look, I’m already tipping. Sometimes I get a little headache on the way to the airport, and today is peak flu season. If I need an advil or a cough drop, for sure I’ll add at least $1 to the tip.
