Uber driver charges passenger to play game and the internet can\u2019t believe it TikTok: @fordsandersA passenger went viral after they alleged they\u2019d been charged for playing a game while travelling, and viewers was shocked. Gaining over 2 million views, news reporter Ford Sanders recorded himself playing a claw machine game attached to the passenger headrest in an Uber. There was a button that read \u201cTap to Drop\u201d which he pressed, and he was told that he\u2019d won a cartoon animal named Sheldon the Turtle. All of a sudden, he looked completely shocked, with the video\u2019s text overlay claiming \u201cMe clicking that button cost me $1.53.\u201d People were shocked after the video was posted, with many confused as to why they were charging for the game. \u201cWAIT, THIS CHARGES YOU?\u201d one proclaimed, clearly surprised. \u201cThat\u2019s why I say, \u2018No, thank you\u2019 to everything,\u201d another wrote in. while Sanders didn\u2019t provide proof that he was charged for the game, others revealed they had had similar experiences. \u201cI did this at Olive Garden. I thought the games were free,\u201d they said. One said that they\u2019d played one of the games before, but had not been charged, saying: \u201cI did this in Miami, I didn\u2019t get charged though.\u201d The game that could be seen in the video is actually owned by a company called Octopus. They give free tablets to drivers for Uber, Lyft, and other transportation services. They claim that it\u2019s a chance for drivers to \u201cengage riders,\u201d and potentially earn more tips in the process. Despite the claims in the video, you\u2019re not actually charged for playing one of these games. \u201c(Octopus games cost) nothing. We are able to provide free tablets to top-tier drivers by showing short advertisements in between games,\u201d the website states. Uber also went viral after one of their drivers shocked a customer with a fake identity on the app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
