How one hot sauce seller hauled Uber into small-claims court and won $4,000
- tyingq 9y agoThis was posted here before. I do think Uber was partially at fault here, but I'm skeptical there was intent on the driver's part here. The video shows the driver pulling away while the passenger is very close to the vehicle...hardly the most stealthy choice. I suspect some later passenger took the bag, perhaps without the driver noticing. Then, the driver ignored the calls because Uber likely doesn't give them much incentive to take calls, especially potentially contentious ones. Driver hears a message about lost merchandise, knows he can't do much about it, so he ignores it. I think the hot sauce guy is somewhat lucky he found someone to cover his losses. Had he left it in a public bus, for example, you would have a harder time getting any compensation.
