Yesterday Jared and I requested an Uber for a really short trip back from the shops. We wouldn’t normally have done this, but Uber has given us R25 off 10 rides for this week.

The driver that picked us up was Zimbabwean and we started chatting.

He said it had been a really slow day, as it was both a Monday and near pay day. So he hadn’t gotten close to his goal for the day.

So when we stopped, we asked him if he wanted to start a new trip. Just across the road. That way he could cash in a few of the coupons we had.

And so we requested a new ride.

He accepted it.

We drove across the road.

Ended the trip.

And then repeated.

We did this 6 times (3 times back and forth), meaning he got R150 worth of rides in just a few minutes.

And it didn’t cost us anything (except for the tip we gave afterwards).

It was sneaky but also really fun. And we made him a little money, on uber, in the process 🙂
