Its just like Lyft. I pay after my ride is done, once the driver is gone I can decide to tip or not. No fuss, I may never see the driver again.

nice post ,,, you have good blog , Good luck. Comrade

Can confirm, in Europe systematic tipping doesn't exist and seems very weird to us. I wonder if they implemented this feature worldwide?

Just a note about service workers getting paid minimum wage by the company if they don't make that much in tips: you'll probably get fired if the company has to make up that difference. When I was a waitress they casually threatened that to me. I don't know if this would apply to Uber, especially given that the tipping may not become an expectation, but it's something to consider when tipping in general.

Every major company too hits you up for donations year round for different charities.  It gets OLD.  CAN I PLEASE buy groceries without being harassed to donate to some unknown charity.

I generally agree with you regarding tipping. And with your disclaimer that I do tip well anyways 😁

In most cases it would make more sense for the business to pay the right wage, rather than the customers decide what to pay. (Which just means the normal customers subsidize the ones who want to be cheap.)

It feels good to give a tip just because you want to rather than you feel obligated. I wish that's just how tipping worked.

Counter-intuitively, tipping (when it becomes an obligation) is PERFECT for cheap people because it allows them to opt out and essentially not pay for service they received. The company should just pay whatever amount customers are supposed to feel obligated to pay, and then tips can be tokens of appreciation on top, that you did because you wanted to.

Definitely agree, I do tip regardless because it turned into a norm. Tipping here in the U.S. got out of hand. We are basically paying for the wages of their (the business's) workers, that should be their responsibility. You would be surprised how much some waiters/waitresses make. Some of my waiter friends make anywhere from 5-8k a month, by working at slightly higher end restaurants. Crazy if you ask me.

Totally agreed, tipping on uber is so cringe.. I think we tip enough already as a society

The fact is, given most Uber drivers drive illegally (no commercial insurance) and they don't really account for costs like brakes, tires, depreciation etc...well, they make garbage money.

Uber is already crashing hard. Many of their high level employees are either gone or appear to by nutjobs. They lose vast sums of money every year. The more fares they get, the more they lose in total money every quarter.

There are several ways Uber could fall apart at any moment, and drivers quitting en masses was one of them. This is just another way for Uber to attempt to pay their drivers less (or rather, avoid paying them more) by pushing the cost onto the customer (like wait staff making $2.15 at restaurants). This may backfire, as I have found Uber users to really like the lack of tip-shaming.

@calader24p I totally agree with this, in fact, in the UK a court ruled that Uber Drivers were classified as full time employees and therefore must be paid minimum wage by their employee. Uber are appealing the ruling...

We don't really have the same sort of tipping culture here as in the USA, tips are never really expected as a type of service charge.

I agree, tipping in the States is a joke. Even when you have bad service you have to leave a tip because some will actually follow you out. It will not help Uber to grow and anyway, I get an Uber to go from A to B no to have an unnecessary chat full of question that neither of us give a damm about.

Screw tipping, tell me the price and I'll pay it!

I always tip 20 percent or more because I know the demands of these jobs and want to reward people. My biggest problem with tipping culture is that as a customer I expect employers to pay their employees well. I am happy to pay more for a meal to accommodate for that, but with tipping culture the employees salary is dependent on the whims of the customers. I would rather these people be paid well then have to beg for tips from the customers.
