Do you tip Uber/Lyft drivers ?
All the people who say no with 500k TC š¤”
Market dynamics where workers cannot expect fair wages and have to live on the generosity of other people is the real š¤”
Yes and I also tip amazon delivery drivers
Yes. That's how they make a living. If you don't want to tip get a bicycle.
I tip when I have good conversation with the drivers
This puts a bad taste in my mouth. I'll either tip everyone or nobody. I'm not expecting them to put up a performance for me to throw them some change
When Uber first launched I had high hopes this was the movement that was gonna cure the pathologic relationship Americans have with tipping, too bad they succumbed to the preassure:/
If we want tipping to end, we need to stop predatory employment practices and make sure workers all have a right to a living wage.
Yes, the base fee Uber drivers (and other service staff for that matter) are getting per ride should increase. It seems like you're envisioning this happening by a government decree. But stopping tipping would also necessarily lead to it, given the market forces (fewer drivers willing to work for the low fee if they expect the tips to be low). In the case of Uber it's literally built into the app (surge pricing), but it would happen in other industries too (just slower).
No because my TC is only 250k
I try not to use Uber or Lyft every
