  • Hate it.

    Never gonna tip. Sorry drivers, ask for more money from your goddamn employer.

      well, until we live in a country that sets minimum wage at the minimum needed to actually live in some areas, i'll keep tipping. they did something for me that i didn't want to do (brought me food, cooked for me, drove me somewhere), and i am perfectly happy to show my extra appreciation for them providing that service.

      companies are going to pay what they can get away with, and in many areas it's not enough to get by. people still do it because it's at least something, and it might be one of the four jobs they work to scrape out a living. i mean we in here all have the luxury of rejecting a job if it doesn't meet our standards. a lot of people don't.

      do i like tipping culture? no. i'd prefer that the government just start providing a subsidy for everyone over 18, that college didn't cost so much it's becoming almost impossible for a lot of people to consider, that we focus our resources on ensuring people have enough to live and not expanding our homeless population. But, until that kind of thing happens i tip. and i judge the fuck out of people that don't.

    • @yAlG75, I still have a lot of fuck left in me. I guess your judging didn't work.

    I really love the response to this. On an article about Lyft showing off their tip numbers everyone says "I use Lyft because they allow me to tip and Uber doesn't" and when Uber rolls out tipping everyone says "I hate this I wish they didn't". It's like only the extremes like to comment.

    Nobody is being guilted into tipping and personally I wasn't tipping before and I'm not going to be tipping now.

    I love it because the drivers that make next to nothing will now make at least a little more.

    But I hate it because it perpetuates this horrible tipping culture where pretty people get unfairly compensated more.

  • I don't like Uber because of their shitty company ethics. Tipping won't convince me to reinstall.

    Tipping culture is terrible. It dilutes the responsibility for compensation, making it easier for employers (although I know Uber insists they're not employees) to avoid raising wages. In practice I suspect this will be a net driver hostile move in the long run.
