Uber Eats Driver's Honest Act with Elderly Customer Goes Viral
Uber Eats Driver Praised for Integrity After Refusing Elderly Customer's Credit Card Offer A recent incident involving an Uber Eats driver, known online as its_lorib, has garnered attention for highlighting an act of integrity and kindness in a potentially exploitative situation. The driver recounted her experience in a video uploaded on September 2, 2025, detailing an encounter with an elderly customer who repeatedly offered her credit card, seemingly confused about the payment process or intending to offer an additional tip. "I'm doing Uber Eats," the driver explained, "and this sweet little old lady comes to the door with her credit card, and she's like, 'Hey!' like, it's so confusing talking about the address." The driver clarified that the order had already been paid for, but the customer persisted in offering her card, asking if a tip was included. The driver, emphasizing her personal values, stated, "I am a child of God, and I believe in karma, and I know that you reap what you sow." She firmly but kindly declined the credit card, reflecting, "Somebody else probably really would have taken advantage of her, and I'm just so glad I don't have that type of spirit." She concluded her account by urging viewers, "Y'all, do right by these old people, for real." The incident has sparked discussion online about the vulnerability of elderly individuals and the importance of ethical conduct in service industries. The driver's decision to prioritize the customer's well-being over personal gain has been widely praised.
