He spent most of ride telling me about how awful Uber is to drivers and how they have cut fares by 43% in the area and how he relies on tips just to get by. It was the most awkward Uber ride I have ever had. I did not give the guy a tip.
I would absolutely 1-star that ride.
Depending on whether I cared about my own rating, I might say something snarky like "You're complaining about the rates, yet you still logged in to the app..."
