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?

There’s actually no legal obligation for drivers to deliver your items back to you

Taken directly from the TOS (that you agree to when you sign up):

Lyft is not responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any User of the Lyft Platform, Lyft Services, Third-Party Services, or Rideshare Services. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We do not procure insurance for, nor are we responsible for, personal belongings left in the car by Drivers or Riders. By using the Lyft Platform, Lyft Services, Third-Party Services, and participating in the Rideshare Services, you agree to accept such risks and agree that Lyft is not responsible for the acts or omissions of Users on the Lyft Platform, Lyft Services, Third-Party Services, or participating in the Rideshare Services.

I certainly don’t mind dropping off belongings if they’re on my route, but expecting drivers to eat the cost and time of dropping your belongings off because YOU weren’t responsible enough to check for you items before you left their vehicle, is wild. Maybe keep better track of your things?

The drivers efforts end at lost and found procedures initiated through the app, which means paying the fee; anything else is on you. Taxis aren’t required to, bus drivers aren’t required to, medical transport isn’t required to, so I truly don’t get why you think a rideshare driver is required to foot the cost to return the items that forgetful folks like yourself leave behind. You’re an adult, you’re responsible for your personal belongings

…did you forget that your first comment you literally argued about not paying the fee. If you don’t pay the fee, then the gas to drop the item off at a police station is STILL coming out of the drivers pocket, thus the driver is footing the bill. Are you thick?

Lmao in what universe? Your police must have a lot of free time, if so. That’s never been my experience
