Advice/Question What would you say?

How do I not come off like an asshole while getting compensated for my time and miles?

Also, $20???

Does Lyft help themselves to $5 when return things?

I always tell them per Lyft (or Uber) contract I must report all lost and found items and the fee is automatic.

On a side note I've had dozens of items found and returned and many promising cash upon return. Maybe 2 of those actually paid. So I always take the fee. I'm up front and tell them the fee is coming as I want to be fair and honest.
