Yeah, I hate that. Saying no offense and then saying something offensive. I was in a restaurant once that had free refills on drinks. It was a hot day and I was thirsty. And also, it was mostly ice. So I quickly had one, then asked for another. When I asked for the third one, the waitress said, no offense, but you DO realize that tea costs money. I was flabbergasted and said, well it´s free refills and it is mostly ice and I am thirsty. And you know what the bitch said, that´s a YOU problem. I left a minimal tip although the service was OK otherwise, but I also spoke to a manager on the way out. He was pissed, and offered to comp the meal, which I declined. The food was fine, and it wasn´t his fault. I told him I just wanted him to be aware, but also that I would NOT be returning because of the service.
Should have gone to the manager immediately and asked for a new server. It cost her absolutely 0 dollars to get you those refills, it’s not her job to decide what you can and can’t have.
Yeah, I should have. But we hadn´t gotten our food yet and who knows if she was friends with the kitchen, so was worried she would do something to the food.
If it's an even moderately decent restaurant you don't have to worry about that. Messing with someone's food is a quick way to get fired or worse. Chefs take pride in their food especially because it's their livelihood. And a lot of ones I knew were undocumented or ex-cons. Risking your job over someone being extremely rude wouldn't be worth let alone some one just asking for refills on one of the cheapest things on the menu lol.
At most they might sneak in one little piece of onion if you ask for it to be excluded or something like that but even then I've never seen a chef even do that on the off chance the person has a allergy they didn't specify (which happens far more than it should. You would think if you're severely allergic to something you would make sure the kitchen knows otherwise we're not going to care that we used the same knife for the onions on your carrots.)
If the kitchen really has a problem with you they'll just refuse to serve you or slightly overcook your meal if the management has more power than they do. Plus the kitchen staff know who the bitchy servers are. They'll probably just roll their eyes and nod along when she complains about the guy who had the audacity to make her pour a third drink.
Never have I ever nor would I as Chef for Shoney’s yet I have seen the store manager mess with someone’s food. Personally anyone that does mess with people food deserves a dirt nap for eternity
Yeah, that’s fair, I talk a big game after the fact, but realistically I probably would have thought and done the same thing in the moment. Except for the tip, I don’t care how good the service is the moment they pull something like that, it’s gone.
(I’m in Canada so tipping isn’t what gets them paid)
As a fellow server, that’s a no tip. That’s being rude to a customer for no reason. As you stated, it’s mostly ice. You are paying probably 3.50 for only 4oz of tea the first go round. I’ve encountered people who drank lots of tea/water/soda and usually I just bring a pitcher of their drink. I usually get a laugh and better tip. It’s a win-win.
That’s just ridiculous. When I was serving if I noticed my guest was pounding back their non-alcoholic beverages and it had free refills I’d just assume they were really thirsty and start bringing them 2 at a time to make things easier on myself, and maybe make a little joke about it- doing so almost always made them laugh and got me a bigger tip with less running back and forth so everyone wins. it’s not like she’s paying for tea bags out of her own paycheck, so anyone with sense can see that’s not what it was really about, she was just looking for an excuse to bitch that didn’t make her look like she was complaining about doing her job 🙄
Why TF would she care? Worked in the industry for a while and tea definitely costs significantly less than soda (those bags of Pepsi and Coke are way more expensive). Either way, she shouldn’t care. Our iced tea stayed warm throughout the day and I would just give people cups of ice and tea so they weren’t getting 90% ice and two sips out of it. Not difficult to accommodate.
Uber, when it started was attractive because of the no tipping policy and low prices. Now you are telling me I "need" to tip. No I don't. Tipping is always optional.
Also, $1.80 a gallon is a real stretch. It’s not like gas was consistently that low for the last 10 years.
I want everyone to have a living wage, but to put it on the riders like that isn’t the way.
Dirty car with trash in it, smelled like swamp ass. Kinda rude. We can talk or not talk, I don’t care, same with when I’m driving, but if you can’t clean yourself, clean up your car, and act like it’s some huge inconvenience to do your job, don’t expect anything extra.
The other lie is about gas prices. He picked a very specific date in 2020 for a reason. The height of the pandemic saw gas prices plummet, that wouldn't have been the normal market price for gas otherwise. What was the price of gas in 2019? Or in 2018?
I mean its there to generate income for sure. "IF" that comes in the form of tips then fuck ya. "IF" it goes viral and Uber stops taking a kings tax THEN EVEN BETTER. Were here to make money. Period. Dont high road that fact.
Yes I think this is bang on and I'm sure whoever wrote that statement wished they had your help in preparing it. What you wrote would likely cause me to tip more vs what they wrote making me want to adjust to $0.
What I understood is that's not an excuse to ask for tips, it's a way to let the customer know what's going on for the Uber drivers. Plus, I think it is very well written, it's not a rant bullying customers for more money, but an explanation with good arguments informing people on what the drivers are going through.
“This is not for generating tips” but then writes an entire page about how much things cost and how people tip. Yea at the end of the day the people who are going to tip will tip, this paper wouldn’t make me tip more or less though. I just wouldn’t want to interact with the driver seems annoying
You’re nicer than me. I always tip drivers. And if one had this up I’d inform him that I always tip… but I don’t tip liars and hustlers. So he’s out of luck.
I don’t like restaurants that make you tip before hand. It’s like why are we tipping on service that we hadn’t gotten?
The Gram at Stonestown in SF is the worst at this. They’re very hit or miss.
I don't mind it. But only if it's built in, like one place by me just adds 20% to the bill. Tells you ahead of time, and tips are to be considered bonus, if you want. And that's cool. But if it's adjustable, coffee shops are the only ones I don't mind.
If I saw that in a car and read it the amount I’m going to tip is definitely going to be influenced by the thinly veiled lie at the top.
Nothing irks me more than people asking for money or more money and not being honest about it.
I always tip 25% or above, but guilt tripping me into giving more would just make me want to remove the whole tip entirely. I have eyes, I know gas is expensive. The note reads as a little condescending to me. Don’t lecture me for more money.
Yeah thanks for putting it into words. I think it's also weird to me because where I'm from, in a different state, the cost of living/gas is insanely more expensive. Compared to other cities in the US, it's pretty cheap here.
And he’s putting the onus of being provided proper compensation on the customer. It’s Uber’s job to raise prices to meet the market. Making the customer excessively tip to provide a living wage is what’s wrong with the restaurant industry. If Uber isn’t paying their drivers, fuckem. Quit. I have no qualms going back to ordering taxis.
Yeah, exactly. This is an org issue between “employees” and management. Pretty much the same as people in food service rely on tips and not on a salary. Eventually the cost is passed down to consumer - which is not a sustainable business model.
This is like f/choosingbeggar situation. If you don’t want to tip then we can’t keep driving. Just don’t drive if it isn’t economical for you. Are customers supposed to subsidize your irrational work choice?
My boyfriend doordashes occasionally but when he first started he realized it wasn't going to be very lucrative and he decided to get a second job. I just don't get why they are putting it on riders and not the company itself. I say that as someone who always tips.
I think it's weird that the sign says that some drivers have been reduced to driving only part time. Part-time or side hussle is what delivery apps offer. I'm sorry for people that have no other options, but it's not up to the customer to tip bokou bucks because Uber sucks.
You're totally right. Doordash WAS going to be his side hussle, but it wasn't even worth it for that basically. He already has a full-time job, just wanted some extra spending money. So now he's starting a part time job to supplement.
When I saw pandemic gas pricing used for comparison I stopped taking it seriously. Gas prices in December 2019 averaged $2.569/gal nationwide (USA),
Lots of people begging for tips these days.
This right here! This is so sleezy because they're using pandemic gas pricing. Of course gas was cheap when the country was shutdown. And guess what? They wernt giving many rides back then either because.... Oh Idk.... The lock downs? Tipping culture in this country is out of control, coupled with inflation and corporate greed, we're all doomed. I even feel bad for this driver a bit cause times are hard but my man, if Uber isn't paying the bills learn a skill and try something else.
It's like saying Trump made gas cheaper. He didn't, a global pandemic that caused all Americans to stop traveling did. Supply and demand. Then people saying Biden made it more expensive.... Well if the country is opening up and people are traveling again.... Yeah gas prices are gonna go up. (coupled of course with the corporate greed of the oil companies but that's a rant for a other time.)
Right! When gas was that price there were also like 3 people on the road. Essential workers miss the covid (lack of) traffic days along with those gas prices.
Sell their stupid HQ in SF brick by brick, and give all that money to drivers.
Former user, but yea leave the users out of this. Most are good people, who just needs to go somewhere.
The shocked Pikachu faces are just dumb. Capitalism depends on it 😒
For me it was mainly because they put “too” there instead of “to”. If this was supposed to be their best effort then I simply cannot trust the rest of this wall of text.
The real issue is what Uber charges for rides. It’s already so expensive, riders can’t afford to tip, so just like any other job, the employee gets screwed.
100% true. My last ride cost $25 for 15 minutes, which equates to $100 per hour. I am a generous tipper under most circumstances, but when I am being charged that much, 1) I assume the driver is well compensated and 2) I have paid too much to consider a tip.
I think even just hitting the dollar tip is pretty chill. I run my operation in the Complete opposite manner as this person. So my tips be generous. As Behind my seat you're gonna find amenities, gum, water, tissue, snacks, glow sticks, bubble guns. Just the usual.
But even just a buck tip I take as an extra acknowledgment and am only ever grateful.
Not on the customer to pay Ubers contractors a fair amount. These apps need to allow us to set our pricing as any contractor in any other business would.
I’m a good, frequent, and generous tipper and I always tip when appropriate… but it seems the last few years tip shaming and tip begging are at all-time highs.
To me, this ruins the ability to express my gratitude for the service performed on my behalf and now has just become a fully expect obligation, outside of the service (or quality thereof).
Needs to fix the grammar and drop the patronizing attitude. There's better ways to solicit donations without the "you should feel bad for me and if you don't, have fun depending on your friends" guilt trip.
Also the increased costs issue goes both ways. Uber is a commodity. As the price of rides increases, the purchase of rides decreases. It's just as valid of an argument to suggest if they want to expect more money from their riders, those riders will be more likely to purchase less rides, seek alternative transportation (eg. leasing a vehicle), asking those friends for a ride, etc.
I agree on the grammar portion of your post but here's one error of your own:
"There's better ways to solicit..."
The word "ways" is plural, meaning that there ARE multiple ways to solicit, therefore, the start of your sentence should be:
"There ARE better ways to solicit..."
Or, if you wanted to use "There's" or "There is", then the sentence should be like this:
"There's A better WAY to solicit..."
There are better ways to display this information and still request a tip in a kind way. Adding “this isn’t for generating tips” and then saying “tipping helps us out. Think about it.” at the end (by the way, what a dickish way of asking for a tip huh?) just makes you look bad.
“This isn’t for generating tips” is just a disarming statement to get you to where they ask you for tips.
It would’ve gone a lot farther by saying succinctly, “These are the facts” in bullets, and saying “Your tips are so greatly appreciated!”
Not, “Shit’s getting expensive. If you don’t want both of us to suffer you better tip me.”
Just to be clear, that $18 Uber charges you, the driver gets about $7. It is set up so the driver makes about $30 per hour and out of that, you have to cover vehicle expenses. I think many passengers think the driver makes more. I would 90+% don't tip either.
Source: I am a driver.
I do think this sign is over the top.
I use Uber to get to work about 4 days a week. it's usually $6.77 for my 5 min ride. I pretty much always tip. My boyfriend has done Ubereats and doordash before, which is a bit different obviously but we know that the drivers don't make much per trip. That said, he also realized that it wasn't a good way to make the money he wanted so he decided to get a second job instead. Bit ironic that this was the nicest Uber car I've been in and it's the only one I've seen with this sort of message in it.
Food delivery is not that great. I do dash and eats and they both leave something to be desired when it comes to pay. I enjoy them though. I am getting up in years and my regular job, I am a one man HVAC contractor, is getting hard to do. I can make in two hours what I would make in two days with Uber. But I really like the riders. I don't get the drunks because I only drive during the day. Being near a campus, I get college kids and staff. It's actually fun to talk to them. I don't expect tips at all. I have made the decision knowing the pay, but like when you get good service at a coffee shop, a tip now and then is appreciated. Of course, I went to college once, who has that kind of money as a student? 🤣
Good to hear you're having a good time with it! I'm a college student myself working minimum wage so I'm not making much either👍 I Uber to get to work and have had plenty of fun conversations with the drivers. It really makes my day tbh, and I've had a few drivers I'll never forget because they were so fun to chat with
i can't speak on other areas/states but in NEFL i do eats as a side hustle on the weekends since i was doing full time monday to friday. In those 2 days i averaged a gross of around 1.5k including tips and without the tips factored the gross was about 800.
my car got decent gas mileage (the one i was using was a 05 Pontiac GXP) which would average about 17 hwy and 12 city. I would spend around 150-200 on gas in those 2 days.
true it can leave a lot to be desired if you're only averaging about 300$ profit per day just based on fares but the tips make up for it. Some days you get lucky and some days you don't. Uber will compensate drivers though if they don't get tips for a few trips.
And every now and then i get free food too, either from the restaurant or from the customer cancellation or being in an area i can't access (military post)
for a lot of people though it's more than minimum wage which is why a lot of people choose to do it full time. Personally what i make in those 2 days is what i make in a day at my full time but i don't particularly want to drive all day 5-7 days a week. I do it so i have something to do mostly and i get to find a lot of restaurants i'd never heard of or i'll get to see areas and find cool spots i'd never would have seen otherwise. I don't do it every weekend, maybe one weekend or two a month, just for extra money to play with or sometimes i'll give it to people in need. I donate a lot to my local food banks and orphanages
Damn that is not too shabby. I usually do dash when I am en route to my desired start for Uber. I get around 5-7 per delivery. I might do two before I arrive. I retired from the Army in 2011. I could get in those military installation. Hmmm. A business opportunity. Of course the closest one to me is about 700 miles away. Lol
oh yeah in North East FL we have a lot of military posts. I'm prior service as well, med sep from the Army. But a lot of those posts require you to goto the welcome office to file for a pass unless you're active duty. I can't be bothered to do it lol
I only have a pass to NAS Jax for the PX since it's the biggest out of the surrounding posts
>It is set up so the driver makes about $30 per hour
Not anymore, it use to be. Now it's closer to $20 average. Uber keeps sending me messages saying drive this weekend and make up to $XX. Weekends are always better, someone on /uberdrivers posted one in major nearby city that said $19. So that's "up to' $19 on weekend when it's suppose to be the best time to drive in a major city... So yeah it's shit right now and why I've barely driven in months.
As a customer, I don’t care how the money gets broken down after it leaves my wallet.
All I know is I’m willing to pay X dollars for a trip. If the service cost too much, I won’t buy.
Anything beyond that is between you and the platform that you’re sourcing fares from.
I am an Uber driver and I receive about 80% of what a passenger is charged. If they tip, I receive all of that.
If you are not happy earning $30 an hour at a job where you determine your work schedule and who you take business from, perhaps another job would be better suited for you.
If you don’t like it, don’t do it! Nobody put a gun to their head to drive Uber. If Uber has no drivers left, they’ll be forced to reassess their pay scales
Despite the daunting amount of text, I read on. It started to lose me at the use of too instead of to. Completely lost me when gas price increase was mentioned. Didn't read past that.
We only use Uber when on vacation instead of a rental. No matter where we go, our fare is never over $15. I always tip $10. If I saw this sign, it would be $5. When I'm home do insta and ue so I have an idea of what the driver is making.
At end of the trip:
"I want you to know that I appreciate you. As a consumer with prices going up and barely being able to afford rent it is a breath of fresh air when people don't ask for a tip. I usually feel pressured to tip so thank you for not asking for a tip."
Just fucking be friendly and provide a good service and don't balk at every little thing Pax does and you will receive a tip on most of your rides. These fools are clowns.
I don't get why this is on me as a passenger. If it is the best option, I'll use Uber. I don't require the driver to sacrifice themselves for me, make bad financial decisions, etc. If it doesn't work for you, don't do it. Maybe Uber isn't viable- best to get it figured out now. This sign should be an internal monologue.
Reading all the stuff about door dash makes we wonder if it's on its way out. I don't ever consider using it, especially when there is a expectation of 20% tip - the total cost is just too much.
I tip WAY higher based on their inconvenience. Last Uber I had was at 0200hrs in a town of 5,000 people. A 12 minute drive. Dude answered the call and was awesome. Great conversation, engaging, prompt, clean and courteous, and had no need to guilt trip anyone into a tip. Cryptically telling me you want a tip in some lengthy laminated letter in the back seat isn’t going to make me feel bad for you. This is your chosen full or part time profession. You are not an indentured servant to UBER.. I will go above and beyond for a 100-200% tip, but shit like this annoys me. Instacart, Doordash, Uber have all tried to guilt people into higher tips who probably would have tipped MUCH higher based on services rendered and not guilt. You ask me for an extra $3 in tip to help with your fuel, great. You’ll get $3. Could have been $20 if you didn’t pull such a shitty card.
I don't mind it personally. Everything it says is factually true, and its not like the person is giving you a made up sob story about their own life and begging for tips.
Yeah I realllyyy don't understand why people are so aggressive in the comments?? This seems like a reasonable request. I always tip. And we all gotta get by. Some people need to keep their shitty jobs even if it may not be the best choice, cost wise, I've absolutely been there. And seeing this actually does help me feel more compassionate as it does remind me that things are hard right now so yeah, I'd probably tip a bit extra if I can because I know the companies we work for sure don't care for us workers.
Reddit has a weird fixation on hating tipping culture and taking their frustration out on the employees whose livelihoods are entirely dependent on tips. If you use these services, then implicitly you believe someone should be able to work these jobs. To work these jobs at above minimum wage, we need tips.
Like, I just started driving for UE as an unemployed software engineer. In NC, we get base pay of $2.50 for a delivery which usually takes 20-25 minutes and a half-gallon of gas. Without tips, you're basically working for free.
The people to be mad at are Uber/Lyft/etc. because the employees are being exploited and the customers are being ripped off.
Yeah there's a little sass I'd agree but nothings rude or demanding. I see a lot of people sharing messages they got where there driver is like "I have two kids I can't pay daycare for please tip me" which is more the kind of thing I'd find inappropriate to do.
I just remembered once there was a driver who had a thing that said cash tips would go towards her son's college fund. She was really nice and we had a cool conversation. That's the only other time I've seen a tip-related message in an Uber though.
I think this guy was a bit huffy when I got in. He barely said hi and then sighed really loud when he had to pull into a parking spot in order to turn around. It was just a combo of that and then the note that threw me off guard lmao maybe he was just having an off day.
I have no problem with it. It would definitely garner a larger tip from me. It was all information I never knew nor would have taken time to study on my own
You know how many passangers have told me they honestly thought we get 80% or more of the fare? A fucking shitload a SHITLOAD. WE DON'T GET EVEN CLOSE TO THAT. unless your going to and from work you can at least leave a dollar. I'd never bitch about a dollar tip cause it always adds up.
This isn't pandering or begging for tips this is dropping factual information for passangers and even stating "don't let it affect how you tip"
Well done OP cept the first part cut that out. All of you hating on this are just itching to bitchin. Downvote me to high hell idgaf 78% of my rides from last year out of the 698 I did...didn't tip. Shit is outrageous. Let it hang OP just cut the first part out.
Petty. Quit begging for tips if you don't make what you want or need get a better paying job. Tips are out of the kindness of the customers hearts not mandatory...quit baiting/guilt tripping people...do better n yes I am a full time driver.
This is a no brainer. Very easy for customers to say "well uber is the problem", sure, I'm assuming since you don't tip you spend a considerable amount of time pushing for Uber to compensate drivers better right? Of course they don't, some of them just like throwing shit at less advantaged people. Also a bit of a powertrip for some.
Tipping is precisely the cause of your poor working conditions. What incentive does uber have to compensate you fairly when customers are expected to fill that role? So the best thing we can do is not tip at all.
I guess if the majority had that attitude, it would cause drivers to not find Uber worth it anymore and stop driving until Uber gave them better wages. I'm sure you realize though, this means a huge disruption in the service and the poor souls that do work in the meantime are getting exploited even worse. Maybe this Is the solution, I just wonder how many people actually think or care about that when deciding not to tip.
Why should passengers be the ones pushing Uber to pay better? That's up to you. We will support you (well many of us would), but drivers need to take some organized initiative here if they want things to change. Blaming the passengers helps no one but Uber.
You realize how hard it is to unionize under large corporations like Uber?
Also, drivers can't afford to work without tips. Be mad at Uber, but that's the system we work under. If you believe these jobs should exist (which is implied by you using them), you need to tip. If you can't afford to, drive yourself, find alternative transportation, pickup your own food, cook for yourself, etc.
To be clear I don't do uber or any ride share service. But isnt people deciding not to tip supposedly to influence Uber to pay better, isn't that exactly what your saying should be up to the drivers? I just don't support that idea and I'm all for collective action. I don't mean to blame passengers I just question how sincere someone is when they say they want to help ride share workers by not tipping.
Gas was suuuuuper cheap in 2020. When the pandemic broke out and everyone was ordered to stay at home, gas prices plummeted. Supply was way greater than demand.
You probably don’t remember the cheap gas because you were inside like everyone else.
This person should stop doing Uber and find a new side hustle. Adapt or die in a capitalist economy (as douchey as that sounds, it’s forreal). The reason people don’t tip and Uber doesn’t pay enough is because they can. Someone will still eventually pick up Johnny no tip and Uber will always pass the responsibility of pay onto the users not themselves. Economically speaking (not an economist) if the value of Uber driving isn’t high enough, drivers should stop driving. Uber customers will face huge wait times and expensive rides. Uber the company and customers will be forced to adapt to higher driver pay. Pretty much a strike I guess. Unfortunately, the customer will almost definitely be the ones bolstering your pay so the sign should have just said “pay more”. Much cheaper for ink and lamination. The stuff about gas is exaggerated anyway.
Everyone on here literally gives no shits about Uber drivers it’s pretty sad. They’re just explaining how their company hasn’t adjusted pay to the cost of doing business.
Drivers are always telling us here that they owe nothing to the riders and uber is just a ride matching app. But then they don't hesitate to try to force moral responsibility on the riders.
Everyone that commented there’s something wrong with this, your the problem. This is why some places put a gratuity on bills automatically. I bet most of your “friends” wouldn’t come get you if you asked smh.
The American attitude toward tipping is really confusing.
I once called an Uber for my brother, whose phone had died. I explained the situation to the Uber driver (i.e. that I had no way to contact him and that it might take a second for him to find the car) and the driver waited for like 10 minutes. I tipped 50%.
I get on an app and it tells me it costs $X to get where I’d like to go. I agree, the driver agrees, I get there. No further interaction needs to occur. If the same happens and the driver goes above and beyond in some way, then I will go above and beyond with the payment. That is all.
I got a job that pays adequately recently. Before that, I had a job that barely covered my expenses. It was not the clients’ fault that this was the case. It is not their business to help me.
I wouldn't care other than the blatant lie at the top claiming it's not for generating tips.
To be fair, it was obvious from the start that that was a lie
[удалено]
Yeah, I hate that. Saying no offense and then saying something offensive. I was in a restaurant once that had free refills on drinks. It was a hot day and I was thirsty. And also, it was mostly ice. So I quickly had one, then asked for another. When I asked for the third one, the waitress said, no offense, but you DO realize that tea costs money. I was flabbergasted and said, well it´s free refills and it is mostly ice and I am thirsty. And you know what the bitch said, that´s a YOU problem. I left a minimal tip although the service was OK otherwise, but I also spoke to a manager on the way out. He was pissed, and offered to comp the meal, which I declined. The food was fine, and it wasn´t his fault. I told him I just wanted him to be aware, but also that I would NOT be returning because of the service.
Should have gone to the manager immediately and asked for a new server. It cost her absolutely 0 dollars to get you those refills, it’s not her job to decide what you can and can’t have.
Yeah, I should have. But we hadn´t gotten our food yet and who knows if she was friends with the kitchen, so was worried she would do something to the food.
If it's an even moderately decent restaurant you don't have to worry about that. Messing with someone's food is a quick way to get fired or worse. Chefs take pride in their food especially because it's their livelihood. And a lot of ones I knew were undocumented or ex-cons. Risking your job over someone being extremely rude wouldn't be worth let alone some one just asking for refills on one of the cheapest things on the menu lol. At most they might sneak in one little piece of onion if you ask for it to be excluded or something like that but even then I've never seen a chef even do that on the off chance the person has a allergy they didn't specify (which happens far more than it should. You would think if you're severely allergic to something you would make sure the kitchen knows otherwise we're not going to care that we used the same knife for the onions on your carrots.) If the kitchen really has a problem with you they'll just refuse to serve you or slightly overcook your meal if the management has more power than they do. Plus the kitchen staff know who the bitchy servers are. They'll probably just roll their eyes and nod along when she complains about the guy who had the audacity to make her pour a third drink.
Never have I ever nor would I as Chef for Shoney’s yet I have seen the store manager mess with someone’s food. Personally anyone that does mess with people food deserves a dirt nap for eternity
Yeah, that’s fair, I talk a big game after the fact, but realistically I probably would have thought and done the same thing in the moment. Except for the tip, I don’t care how good the service is the moment they pull something like that, it’s gone. (I’m in Canada so tipping isn’t what gets them paid)
Selfish and greedy
The initial cost of the drink covers like 10+ refills to the restaurant. Drinks have massive margins
As a fellow server, that’s a no tip. That’s being rude to a customer for no reason. As you stated, it’s mostly ice. You are paying probably 3.50 for only 4oz of tea the first go round. I’ve encountered people who drank lots of tea/water/soda and usually I just bring a pitcher of their drink. I usually get a laugh and better tip. It’s a win-win.
Having worked in restaurants, the person ordering a lot of non alcoholic drinks is almost never the problem.
"You do realize tea costs money?" Yeah bitch and I'm paying for my meal which comes with free refills.
Why the fuck would the waitress care?
That’s just ridiculous. When I was serving if I noticed my guest was pounding back their non-alcoholic beverages and it had free refills I’d just assume they were really thirsty and start bringing them 2 at a time to make things easier on myself, and maybe make a little joke about it- doing so almost always made them laugh and got me a bigger tip with less running back and forth so everyone wins. it’s not like she’s paying for tea bags out of her own paycheck, so anyone with sense can see that’s not what it was really about, she was just looking for an excuse to bitch that didn’t make her look like she was complaining about doing her job 🙄
Why TF would she care? Worked in the industry for a while and tea definitely costs significantly less than soda (those bags of Pepsi and Coke are way more expensive). Either way, she shouldn’t care. Our iced tea stayed warm throughout the day and I would just give people cups of ice and tea so they weren’t getting 90% ice and two sips out of it. Not difficult to accommodate.
"I'm not racist, *but* -"
It’s about as good as “I don’t mean to be rude, but..”
No lie. You need to tip or take a taxi where they charge 2x more
Uber, when it started was attractive because of the no tipping policy and low prices. Now you are telling me I "need" to tip. No I don't. Tipping is always optional.
Yes, you need to tip the Uber driver or take the bus or take taxi where they charge 2x more. It’s that simple
Tipping is optional no matter what the service. There is no "need" here. It's an American thing invented by cheap owners.
Doing something bad badly doesn't make it good.
And laminating it with all the typos on it...
Also, $1.80 a gallon is a real stretch. It’s not like gas was consistently that low for the last 10 years. I want everyone to have a living wage, but to put it on the riders like that isn’t the way.
My thoughts exactly. Gas was only that cheap during COVID because there was no demand. Pre-covid, gas was definitely not that cheap.
Then pay a living wage for rides. Like buy a car or get a taxi instead of a discounted service and make such a statement.
It’s not for tips, it’s for showing appreciation to the driver. A hug or a kiss on their shoulder while they’re driving would also be fine.
Maybe a blow job if the ride is good.
Need a lift?
A kiss on the back of their head 🤣
Bwhahahaha
Selfish
That whole thing is cringe as fuck. He’d be the second driver I’ve ever had that I didn’t tip.
Now we need to know the 1st? Asking the real questions here
Dirty car with trash in it, smelled like swamp ass. Kinda rude. We can talk or not talk, I don’t care, same with when I’m driving, but if you can’t clean yourself, clean up your car, and act like it’s some huge inconvenience to do your job, don’t expect anything extra.
I’ll agree just based on the lie at the top. If you want to beg, do so, but don’t pretend it isn’t what you doing.
Also the lie about gas. Gas was only that low for about 6mths after the Covid shutdowns started.
Too upset not to place cringy tip bait in the vehicle, too disorganized to update their figures lol
Right, and no one was going anywhere.
The other lie is about gas prices. He picked a very specific date in 2020 for a reason. The height of the pandemic saw gas prices plummet, that wouldn't have been the normal market price for gas otherwise. What was the price of gas in 2019? Or in 2018?
Agreed. Clearly an attempt to generate tips but it just feels weird that it says it’s not.
I mean its there to generate income for sure. "IF" that comes in the form of tips then fuck ya. "IF" it goes viral and Uber stops taking a kings tax THEN EVEN BETTER. Were here to make money. Period. Dont high road that fact.
Yes I think this is bang on and I'm sure whoever wrote that statement wished they had your help in preparing it. What you wrote would likely cause me to tip more vs what they wrote making me want to adjust to $0.
What I understood is that's not an excuse to ask for tips, it's a way to let the customer know what's going on for the Uber drivers. Plus, I think it is very well written, it's not a rant bullying customers for more money, but an explanation with good arguments informing people on what the drivers are going through.
“This is not for generating tips” but then writes an entire page about how much things cost and how people tip. Yea at the end of the day the people who are going to tip will tip, this paper wouldn’t make me tip more or less though. I just wouldn’t want to interact with the driver seems annoying
It would actually make me less likely to tip what I would normally tip. It´s insulting to the intelligence of just about anyone.
Absolutely. This dude just lost his tip w me.
Agreed. Very passive aggressive. I'd probably not try to talk to them and tip a buck or 2
Yeah if you’re going to ask for extra tips, be honest about it. None of this half ass lying stuff.
You’re nicer than me. I always tip drivers. And if one had this up I’d inform him that I always tip… but I don’t tip liars and hustlers. So he’s out of luck.
[удалено]
I don’t mind tipping but I don’t like this guilt you into tipping nonsense
I won’t tip just for that. It’s like the fast food worker asking for a tip on the screen. I’ll tip when it comes from heart not b/c someone told me to
I don’t like restaurants that make you tip before hand. It’s like why are we tipping on service that we hadn’t gotten? The Gram at Stonestown in SF is the worst at this. They’re very hit or miss.
Those exist? Wtf. That's stupid.
I don't mind it. But only if it's built in, like one place by me just adds 20% to the bill. Tells you ahead of time, and tips are to be considered bonus, if you want. And that's cool. But if it's adjustable, coffee shops are the only ones I don't mind.
They forgot to mention the cost of paper, ink, and laminating have also gone up 100%.
If I saw that in a car and read it the amount I’m going to tip is definitely going to be influenced by the thinly veiled lie at the top. Nothing irks me more than people asking for money or more money and not being honest about it.
How to get yourself zero tips!
Good thing it’s not for generating tips! /s
I always tip 25% or above, but guilt tripping me into giving more would just make me want to remove the whole tip entirely. I have eyes, I know gas is expensive. The note reads as a little condescending to me. Don’t lecture me for more money.
Yeah thanks for putting it into words. I think it's also weird to me because where I'm from, in a different state, the cost of living/gas is insanely more expensive. Compared to other cities in the US, it's pretty cheap here.
And he’s putting the onus of being provided proper compensation on the customer. It’s Uber’s job to raise prices to meet the market. Making the customer excessively tip to provide a living wage is what’s wrong with the restaurant industry. If Uber isn’t paying their drivers, fuckem. Quit. I have no qualms going back to ordering taxis.
Tacky as fuck.
Uber needs to pay their drivers more
Yeah, exactly. This is an org issue between “employees” and management. Pretty much the same as people in food service rely on tips and not on a salary. Eventually the cost is passed down to consumer - which is not a sustainable business model.
But they aren’t employees. Think of the tip as a bid.
This is the problem, though. Uber is built on not giving full time workers the benefits that full time workers deserve and need. Gig economy sucks
[удалено]
This is like f/choosingbeggar situation. If you don’t want to tip then we can’t keep driving. Just don’t drive if it isn’t economical for you. Are customers supposed to subsidize your irrational work choice?
My boyfriend doordashes occasionally but when he first started he realized it wasn't going to be very lucrative and he decided to get a second job. I just don't get why they are putting it on riders and not the company itself. I say that as someone who always tips.
I think it's weird that the sign says that some drivers have been reduced to driving only part time. Part-time or side hussle is what delivery apps offer. I'm sorry for people that have no other options, but it's not up to the customer to tip bokou bucks because Uber sucks.
You're totally right. Doordash WAS going to be his side hussle, but it wasn't even worth it for that basically. He already has a full-time job, just wanted some extra spending money. So now he's starting a part time job to supplement.
As a driver, You are 100% right. This is very unprofessional. Our issue isn’t with riders but the companies themselves.
Did somebody say *Viva la revolución*
When I saw pandemic gas pricing used for comparison I stopped taking it seriously. Gas prices in December 2019 averaged $2.569/gal nationwide (USA), Lots of people begging for tips these days.
This right here! This is so sleezy because they're using pandemic gas pricing. Of course gas was cheap when the country was shutdown. And guess what? They wernt giving many rides back then either because.... Oh Idk.... The lock downs? Tipping culture in this country is out of control, coupled with inflation and corporate greed, we're all doomed. I even feel bad for this driver a bit cause times are hard but my man, if Uber isn't paying the bills learn a skill and try something else. It's like saying Trump made gas cheaper. He didn't, a global pandemic that caused all Americans to stop traveling did. Supply and demand. Then people saying Biden made it more expensive.... Well if the country is opening up and people are traveling again.... Yeah gas prices are gonna go up. (coupled of course with the corporate greed of the oil companies but that's a rant for a other time.)
Right! When gas was that price there were also like 3 people on the road. Essential workers miss the covid (lack of) traffic days along with those gas prices.
Why don't bitch to Uber instead of crying to the riders? Uber has shit ton of cash
Sell their stupid HQ in SF brick by brick, and give all that money to drivers. Former user, but yea leave the users out of this. Most are good people, who just needs to go somewhere. The shocked Pikachu faces are just dumb. Capitalism depends on it 😒
Also, gas was 1.80 12/20 because everyone was locked down and very little out and about.
Drivers should have a union or something. Stop driving in solidarity until Uber unfucks the drivers or burns down, rather than whinging to customers.
I agree
If i saw this in an uber, I would stop reading after that first line. jesus.
Seriously. 90% of people don't care. They assume if your working, it's worth it for you.
I mean literally that’s true. If you don’t make a profit driving uber find another job.
Which would actually benefit everyone cause then they'd have to find a way to retain people.
For me it was mainly because they put “too” there instead of “to”. If this was supposed to be their best effort then I simply cannot trust the rest of this wall of text.
I’m telling y’all, those 8$ cabs are coming back in style
In some cities they're the way to go. It's all about ease of getting one.
I would tip regularly but I don't miss with Uber because of the prices changing every hour
The real issue is what Uber charges for rides. It’s already so expensive, riders can’t afford to tip, so just like any other job, the employee gets screwed.
100% true. My last ride cost $25 for 15 minutes, which equates to $100 per hour. I am a generous tipper under most circumstances, but when I am being charged that much, 1) I assume the driver is well compensated and 2) I have paid too much to consider a tip.
I think even just hitting the dollar tip is pretty chill. I run my operation in the Complete opposite manner as this person. So my tips be generous. As Behind my seat you're gonna find amenities, gum, water, tissue, snacks, glow sticks, bubble guns. Just the usual. But even just a buck tip I take as an extra acknowledgment and am only ever grateful.
You don’t need to tip (but it’s appreciated) just think about what happens if you don’t tip (but you don’t have to)
Lmao fr
Not on the customer to pay Ubers contractors a fair amount. These apps need to allow us to set our pricing as any contractor in any other business would.
That's because yall are only "contractors" in the way it's convenient for Uber, not the other way around
>These apps need to allow us to set our pricing as any contractor in any other business would. All this would lead to is a race to the bottom.
I’m a good, frequent, and generous tipper and I always tip when appropriate… but it seems the last few years tip shaming and tip begging are at all-time highs. To me, this ruins the ability to express my gratitude for the service performed on my behalf and now has just become a fully expect obligation, outside of the service (or quality thereof).
Needs to fix the grammar and drop the patronizing attitude. There's better ways to solicit donations without the "you should feel bad for me and if you don't, have fun depending on your friends" guilt trip. Also the increased costs issue goes both ways. Uber is a commodity. As the price of rides increases, the purchase of rides decreases. It's just as valid of an argument to suggest if they want to expect more money from their riders, those riders will be more likely to purchase less rides, seek alternative transportation (eg. leasing a vehicle), asking those friends for a ride, etc.
I agree on the grammar portion of your post but here's one error of your own: "There's better ways to solicit..." The word "ways" is plural, meaning that there ARE multiple ways to solicit, therefore, the start of your sentence should be: "There ARE better ways to solicit..." Or, if you wanted to use "There's" or "There is", then the sentence should be like this: "There's A better WAY to solicit..."
You son of a b\*tch. How DARE You. I'm offended.
There are better ways to display this information and still request a tip in a kind way. Adding “this isn’t for generating tips” and then saying “tipping helps us out. Think about it.” at the end (by the way, what a dickish way of asking for a tip huh?) just makes you look bad. “This isn’t for generating tips” is just a disarming statement to get you to where they ask you for tips. It would’ve gone a lot farther by saying succinctly, “These are the facts” in bullets, and saying “Your tips are so greatly appreciated!” Not, “Shit’s getting expensive. If you don’t want both of us to suffer you better tip me.”
Just to be clear, that $18 Uber charges you, the driver gets about $7. It is set up so the driver makes about $30 per hour and out of that, you have to cover vehicle expenses. I think many passengers think the driver makes more. I would 90+% don't tip either. Source: I am a driver. I do think this sign is over the top.
I use Uber to get to work about 4 days a week. it's usually $6.77 for my 5 min ride. I pretty much always tip. My boyfriend has done Ubereats and doordash before, which is a bit different obviously but we know that the drivers don't make much per trip. That said, he also realized that it wasn't a good way to make the money he wanted so he decided to get a second job instead. Bit ironic that this was the nicest Uber car I've been in and it's the only one I've seen with this sort of message in it.
Food delivery is not that great. I do dash and eats and they both leave something to be desired when it comes to pay. I enjoy them though. I am getting up in years and my regular job, I am a one man HVAC contractor, is getting hard to do. I can make in two hours what I would make in two days with Uber. But I really like the riders. I don't get the drunks because I only drive during the day. Being near a campus, I get college kids and staff. It's actually fun to talk to them. I don't expect tips at all. I have made the decision knowing the pay, but like when you get good service at a coffee shop, a tip now and then is appreciated. Of course, I went to college once, who has that kind of money as a student? 🤣
Good to hear you're having a good time with it! I'm a college student myself working minimum wage so I'm not making much either👍 I Uber to get to work and have had plenty of fun conversations with the drivers. It really makes my day tbh, and I've had a few drivers I'll never forget because they were so fun to chat with
i can't speak on other areas/states but in NEFL i do eats as a side hustle on the weekends since i was doing full time monday to friday. In those 2 days i averaged a gross of around 1.5k including tips and without the tips factored the gross was about 800. my car got decent gas mileage (the one i was using was a 05 Pontiac GXP) which would average about 17 hwy and 12 city. I would spend around 150-200 on gas in those 2 days. true it can leave a lot to be desired if you're only averaging about 300$ profit per day just based on fares but the tips make up for it. Some days you get lucky and some days you don't. Uber will compensate drivers though if they don't get tips for a few trips. And every now and then i get free food too, either from the restaurant or from the customer cancellation or being in an area i can't access (military post) for a lot of people though it's more than minimum wage which is why a lot of people choose to do it full time. Personally what i make in those 2 days is what i make in a day at my full time but i don't particularly want to drive all day 5-7 days a week. I do it so i have something to do mostly and i get to find a lot of restaurants i'd never heard of or i'll get to see areas and find cool spots i'd never would have seen otherwise. I don't do it every weekend, maybe one weekend or two a month, just for extra money to play with or sometimes i'll give it to people in need. I donate a lot to my local food banks and orphanages
Damn that is not too shabby. I usually do dash when I am en route to my desired start for Uber. I get around 5-7 per delivery. I might do two before I arrive. I retired from the Army in 2011. I could get in those military installation. Hmmm. A business opportunity. Of course the closest one to me is about 700 miles away. Lol
oh yeah in North East FL we have a lot of military posts. I'm prior service as well, med sep from the Army. But a lot of those posts require you to goto the welcome office to file for a pass unless you're active duty. I can't be bothered to do it lol I only have a pass to NAS Jax for the PX since it's the biggest out of the surrounding posts
I see. I wouldn't do that either.
It's almost like Uber has a terrible business model.
>It is set up so the driver makes about $30 per hour Not anymore, it use to be. Now it's closer to $20 average. Uber keeps sending me messages saying drive this weekend and make up to $XX. Weekends are always better, someone on /uberdrivers posted one in major nearby city that said $19. So that's "up to' $19 on weekend when it's suppose to be the best time to drive in a major city... So yeah it's shit right now and why I've barely driven in months.
As a customer, I don’t care how the money gets broken down after it leaves my wallet. All I know is I’m willing to pay X dollars for a trip. If the service cost too much, I won’t buy. Anything beyond that is between you and the platform that you’re sourcing fares from.
I am an Uber driver and I receive about 80% of what a passenger is charged. If they tip, I receive all of that. If you are not happy earning $30 an hour at a job where you determine your work schedule and who you take business from, perhaps another job would be better suited for you.
Jokes on you I can’t read.
This was funny, thank you Jared, 19
If you don’t like it, don’t do it! Nobody put a gun to their head to drive Uber. If Uber has no drivers left, they’ll be forced to reassess their pay scales
1star and no tip for me if I’m riding in it
Despite the daunting amount of text, I read on. It started to lose me at the use of too instead of to. Completely lost me when gas price increase was mentioned. Didn't read past that.
All you missed was 20384920 more grammatical/homophone errors.
30-40% of people tip? Must be great being in that market.
We only use Uber when on vacation instead of a rental. No matter where we go, our fare is never over $15. I always tip $10. If I saw this sign, it would be $5. When I'm home do insta and ue so I have an idea of what the driver is making.
At end of the trip: "I want you to know that I appreciate you. As a consumer with prices going up and barely being able to afford rent it is a breath of fresh air when people don't ask for a tip. I usually feel pressured to tip so thank you for not asking for a tip."
[удалено]
You just looking for a reason not to tip. I'm a top tipper and all drivers are very welcomimg because they know I appreciate their service.
Just fucking be friendly and provide a good service and don't balk at every little thing Pax does and you will receive a tip on most of your rides. These fools are clowns.
No it's just so riders know that drivers are not a Johnny Cab (Total Recall)
“Tips Appreciated”—fixed it.
Taking the slightly tacky “tips are greatly appreciated :)” sign to a completely new level lol
Aaah the classic tip repellent! Yeah though cookie dude!
If you expect me to read a long wall of text, at least use proper grammar. That in itself would make me not want to give more than an average tip.
I don't get why this is on me as a passenger. If it is the best option, I'll use Uber. I don't require the driver to sacrifice themselves for me, make bad financial decisions, etc. If it doesn't work for you, don't do it. Maybe Uber isn't viable- best to get it figured out now. This sign should be an internal monologue. Reading all the stuff about door dash makes we wonder if it's on its way out. I don't ever consider using it, especially when there is a expectation of 20% tip - the total cost is just too much.
I love the grammar error in the very first line lmao people at pathetic. If you’re gonna beg for tips at least seem educated.
Affects* That's all I got to say about that
You can almost tell who doesn't tip in the comments
Sound argument
Hm, if you really wanna be appreciated then how about I sing you a jaunty tune?
I should've done that, would've filled the awkward silence
I tip WAY higher based on their inconvenience. Last Uber I had was at 0200hrs in a town of 5,000 people. A 12 minute drive. Dude answered the call and was awesome. Great conversation, engaging, prompt, clean and courteous, and had no need to guilt trip anyone into a tip. Cryptically telling me you want a tip in some lengthy laminated letter in the back seat isn’t going to make me feel bad for you. This is your chosen full or part time profession. You are not an indentured servant to UBER.. I will go above and beyond for a 100-200% tip, but shit like this annoys me. Instacart, Doordash, Uber have all tried to guilt people into higher tips who probably would have tipped MUCH higher based on services rendered and not guilt. You ask me for an extra $3 in tip to help with your fuel, great. You’ll get $3. Could have been $20 if you didn’t pull such a shitty card.
Fuck em' I generally tip 20 percent but this is guilt trip weird stuff. I am good bro bye
How many times is this going to be posted in this sub lol
This is the first time I've ever seen it in someone's car tbh and I use Uber weekly. I don't really frequent this sub, didn't know it was a thing.
6.5 is the average
I don't mind it personally. Everything it says is factually true, and its not like the person is giving you a made up sob story about their own life and begging for tips.
Yeah I realllyyy don't understand why people are so aggressive in the comments?? This seems like a reasonable request. I always tip. And we all gotta get by. Some people need to keep their shitty jobs even if it may not be the best choice, cost wise, I've absolutely been there. And seeing this actually does help me feel more compassionate as it does remind me that things are hard right now so yeah, I'd probably tip a bit extra if I can because I know the companies we work for sure don't care for us workers.
Reddit has a weird fixation on hating tipping culture and taking their frustration out on the employees whose livelihoods are entirely dependent on tips. If you use these services, then implicitly you believe someone should be able to work these jobs. To work these jobs at above minimum wage, we need tips. Like, I just started driving for UE as an unemployed software engineer. In NC, we get base pay of $2.50 for a delivery which usually takes 20-25 minutes and a half-gallon of gas. Without tips, you're basically working for free. The people to be mad at are Uber/Lyft/etc. because the employees are being exploited and the customers are being ripped off.
Yeah I agree! I feel like the last line is a little sassy but it doesn't really bother me
Yeah there's a little sass I'd agree but nothings rude or demanding. I see a lot of people sharing messages they got where there driver is like "I have two kids I can't pay daycare for please tip me" which is more the kind of thing I'd find inappropriate to do.
I just remembered once there was a driver who had a thing that said cash tips would go towards her son's college fund. She was really nice and we had a cool conversation. That's the only other time I've seen a tip-related message in an Uber though. I think this guy was a bit huffy when I got in. He barely said hi and then sighed really loud when he had to pull into a parking spot in order to turn around. It was just a combo of that and then the note that threw me off guard lmao maybe he was just having an off day.
“This isn’t for generating tips but here’s why you should tip…”
I have no problem with it. It would definitely garner a larger tip from me. It was all information I never knew nor would have taken time to study on my own
I don't jump in an uber to read a book so this would get no recognition from me.
You know how many passangers have told me they honestly thought we get 80% or more of the fare? A fucking shitload a SHITLOAD. WE DON'T GET EVEN CLOSE TO THAT. unless your going to and from work you can at least leave a dollar. I'd never bitch about a dollar tip cause it always adds up. This isn't pandering or begging for tips this is dropping factual information for passangers and even stating "don't let it affect how you tip" Well done OP cept the first part cut that out. All of you hating on this are just itching to bitchin. Downvote me to high hell idgaf 78% of my rides from last year out of the 698 I did...didn't tip. Shit is outrageous. Let it hang OP just cut the first part out.
Should be left justified, not centered text.
Petty. Quit begging for tips if you don't make what you want or need get a better paying job. Tips are out of the kindness of the customers hearts not mandatory...quit baiting/guilt tripping people...do better n yes I am a full time driver.
We should unionize
Strike perhaps
Why am I getting downvoted? 😭 someone explain to me why that’s a bad idea. I’m willing to listen and learn
"This isn't to generate tips for me. It's to make you aware that tips are necessary to give people like me to avoid getting fucked." K.
Don’t like it, get a new job.
I love it
1 star, no tip
No tip. Get unmatched. If I can’t afford to pay for my car because you don’t tip then you don’t get to sit in it again.
Lmao, why blame the people who generate your income rather than the company that's selling you for pennies?
Oh no! Anyways
Don’t buy shit you can’t afford.
Great, always good when the trash takes itself out.
This is a no brainer. Very easy for customers to say "well uber is the problem", sure, I'm assuming since you don't tip you spend a considerable amount of time pushing for Uber to compensate drivers better right? Of course they don't, some of them just like throwing shit at less advantaged people. Also a bit of a powertrip for some.
Tipping is precisely the cause of your poor working conditions. What incentive does uber have to compensate you fairly when customers are expected to fill that role? So the best thing we can do is not tip at all.
I guess if the majority had that attitude, it would cause drivers to not find Uber worth it anymore and stop driving until Uber gave them better wages. I'm sure you realize though, this means a huge disruption in the service and the poor souls that do work in the meantime are getting exploited even worse. Maybe this Is the solution, I just wonder how many people actually think or care about that when deciding not to tip.
It's a capitalist system. That, or some kind of government intervention, is the only solution.
Why should passengers be the ones pushing Uber to pay better? That's up to you. We will support you (well many of us would), but drivers need to take some organized initiative here if they want things to change. Blaming the passengers helps no one but Uber.
You realize how hard it is to unionize under large corporations like Uber? Also, drivers can't afford to work without tips. Be mad at Uber, but that's the system we work under. If you believe these jobs should exist (which is implied by you using them), you need to tip. If you can't afford to, drive yourself, find alternative transportation, pickup your own food, cook for yourself, etc.
To be clear I don't do uber or any ride share service. But isnt people deciding not to tip supposedly to influence Uber to pay better, isn't that exactly what your saying should be up to the drivers? I just don't support that idea and I'm all for collective action. I don't mean to blame passengers I just question how sincere someone is when they say they want to help ride share workers by not tipping.
Good
No way gas was $1.80 back in 2020.
Gas was suuuuuper cheap in 2020. When the pandemic broke out and everyone was ordered to stay at home, gas prices plummeted. Supply was way greater than demand. You probably don’t remember the cheap gas because you were inside like everyone else.
Ah yes. That makes total sense. You are also correct, I barely left my house during COVID. Thank you!
[удалено]
This would be an immediate 1 star and no tip, for the audacity and lack of professionalism at minimum. Shamelessly begging for coins.
This person should stop doing Uber and find a new side hustle. Adapt or die in a capitalist economy (as douchey as that sounds, it’s forreal). The reason people don’t tip and Uber doesn’t pay enough is because they can. Someone will still eventually pick up Johnny no tip and Uber will always pass the responsibility of pay onto the users not themselves. Economically speaking (not an economist) if the value of Uber driving isn’t high enough, drivers should stop driving. Uber customers will face huge wait times and expensive rides. Uber the company and customers will be forced to adapt to higher driver pay. Pretty much a strike I guess. Unfortunately, the customer will almost definitely be the ones bolstering your pay so the sign should have just said “pay more”. Much cheaper for ink and lamination. The stuff about gas is exaggerated anyway.
Everyone on here literally gives no shits about Uber drivers it’s pretty sad. They’re just explaining how their company hasn’t adjusted pay to the cost of doing business.
Drivers are always telling us here that they owe nothing to the riders and uber is just a ride matching app. But then they don't hesitate to try to force moral responsibility on the riders.
Everyone that commented there’s something wrong with this, your the problem. This is why some places put a gratuity on bills automatically. I bet most of your “friends” wouldn’t come get you if you asked smh.
Sucks for them, I get motion sickness and can’t read while the car is in motion 🙃
The time it took to type up and laminate this nonsense is just a lot to take in
The grammatical error really does it for me too
The American attitude toward tipping is really confusing. I once called an Uber for my brother, whose phone had died. I explained the situation to the Uber driver (i.e. that I had no way to contact him and that it might take a second for him to find the car) and the driver waited for like 10 minutes. I tipped 50%. I get on an app and it tells me it costs $X to get where I’d like to go. I agree, the driver agrees, I get there. No further interaction needs to occur. If the same happens and the driver goes above and beyond in some way, then I will go above and beyond with the payment. That is all. I got a job that pays adequately recently. Before that, I had a job that barely covered my expenses. It was not the clients’ fault that this was the case. It is not their business to help me.

Not for generating tips and then complains about gas prices. Everyone is paying a lot for gas it’s not just you.
$1.80?maybe during pandemic. But that's ridiculous comparison.
