Uber tipping is a thing now?

I just got that email too. And laughed at it.

The zero gratuity policy is one of the few things Europe got right.

I'll tip happily if it can be done from the app with no cash.

So they are just doing what Lyft has done all along basically.

Y'all some cheap motherfrickers.

I switched over to Lyft a few months ago. I like them a lot plus once in a while they'll give me 50% off rides

Eh, I don't think it's such a bad thing.

My friend drives for Uber/Lyft, and he goes all out. He has tablets mounted to the back seats connected to WiFi with bookmarks set for tourist/travel information about the city.

He goes out of his way to help people load their bags. One time he was in my neighborhood and asked me if he could stop by and change his clothes because he helped a wheelchaired veteran into his car during a rainstorm and was completely soaked.

Circumstances like that dictate a tip in my opinion.

Sucks if that is the default display and you have to "enter a custom amount" to leave no tip. For Lyft, the default position is "No tip", so you can just hit submit if you don't want to leave a tip.

So the Uber drivers job is to take you from point a to be for the price he agreed on. Then he expects you to give him more Money or he will give YOU a bad rating. Sounds about right.

I love it when people walk into my office and toss me a few dollars when at my desk doing my job.

I wonder how much of the tip the driver will actually get? I assume uber will at least take out the percentage that the CC company charges them.
