Great job, Alec! Five American stars! I’ve seen some drivers go for it with free snacks and water, but I’ve never seen a driver with a box full of costumes. That’s both next-level and disturbing.

If my next Uber doesn’t have a jacuzzi, I’m giving it 1 star.

The button for intimidation is a great idea. I'd also like to see one that foregoes small talk in favor of conversations about death and impossible moral dilemmas that invariably end in death. I would take Ubers just for the back-and-forth.
