Only if I’m drunk and they’re not an a-hole.

First of all, you can tip in the app.

I’ve only used Lyft. I don’t use it a lot, and all my drivers so far have been very nice. I ask them how they like driving and what other jobs they have, etc.

Most seem to be in need of revenue (thus the driving), and they are actually working, so I’ve given them all $5. If I used it more often, I’d have to dial that back.

What is your Uber rating?
In the future, this will become your reputation rating.

Do what you can to keep your 5 and you’ll kick arse in the new economy.

I don’t know where you heard that from, but that’s absolutely false.

I’ll tip as long as it’s not Shaniqua in her smoked out Kia Forte with stale fries and bread crumbs everywhere in the back, to go along with no A/C in the middle of June.

ask them to make a pit stop,


My last drunk Uber ride I had the guy go to the drive through. I bought him a burger and a coke and you would have thought I gave him a $100 bill he was so happy.

I always tip the Uber/Lyft drivers and did so even before you could on the app. The rides are cheap and I generally have a good experience. The ride is still a cheap option even after a tip.

Just recently learned this. I used to tip all of them but not anymore.


Is this what you tell yourself to not feel like a cheap arse?

I tip most of the time.

Had a ride from the airport the other day and this car smelled like arse. Figured out why when the fat frick told me he lived in the car

I won't tip unless I have the driver make a special trip or stop at a store to let me quickly pick something up.

If it's just a typical 5 minute ride from one place to another why should I be expected to tip? You did exactly the service you signed up to provide.

The tipping culture in this country has gotten ridiculous.

And yes, I tip wait staff, but wish I didn't have to.

There is no 20% buildup into the fare.
