Possibly another case of 5 for 5. If you don't bribe them in cash, they resort to petty things like this.
They obviously know if you tipped. There's a clear pattern of sub-5 ratings for people who don't immediately tip when the ride is over.
As for the OP, feeling compelled to tip is rewarding this bad behavior. I'd rather see my rating drop into the 3s than be extorted into tipping because of nonsense like this. If riders push back, Uber will react.
Uber drivers should only be able to rate a rider within 2 minutes of the ride ending.
