    I found this info-graphic of Tipping Etiquette around the world. It's for restaurants and wait-staff (not Uber, sadly, where few tip on the regular, perhaps even less these days) I was surprised, as I thought that Tipping had been eliminated in most of the world with America (and Canada) being...

    I don’t do this for everyone but I definitely make a point to go back into the app and change the ratings for cheap bastards living in mansions that don’t tip and leave them a nice one star rating. If they end up tipping later (over 95% still never do) I can change it back. A nice little known...

    tldr - I’m back, gave some history about driving in Chicago, and wanted to know how you all are doing out there. I know this page is not an airport where you announce your arrival in departure but I thought I would just check in. I started in Chicago back in 2014 in what most would say was...

    Proud partner of the Téléthon Opération Enfant Soleil From today through May 30, every dollar tipped to drivers on the Uber platform will be matched by Uber as a donation to Opération Enfant Soleil (up to $100,000). This money will benefit sick children and their families. If you’re planning...

    In the before times I would usually get minimum 1-2 tips a night. Now I’m lucky to get one every 3-4 nights. Same car. Same hours. Same friendly service. Are the current higher prices that much of an impact on tips? I mean if you are paying $60 to get back to the burbs after a night of...

    There ought to be a special place in hell for wait-staff who take Uber and then do not tip. Shockingly this is true for the majority of servers that I have driven. The hypocrisy is staggering.

    Email received at 3.24 pm on Wednesday 1 July 2020: Hi Jack, We're excited to let you know that the tipping feature on our app is live! This gives you a great chance to be rewarded for going above and beyond for your riders. We also want you to know that we don't take any commission...

    In the Toronto subform, there is a thread about InstaCart users that put a big juicy tip into the app, then retract that tip after delivery. You can imagine, this leaves drivers seething in rage. There is, very likely, a subset of drivers who will channel this rage into passive aggression, and...

    Personally, I believe that UBER and LYFT should institute a mandatory 15% tip on all rides, and that money go directly to the drivers that are risking their health by being an 'essential service.' (AND I say this as someone who is NOT driving, because it is NOT worth it to me, but I'm not a...

    I’ve noticed that the people who add stops within the app barely tip. Before, when passengers had to ask, they almost got shamed into tipping. Passengers more than ever feel entitled to change destinations, add stops, etc., without even asking the driver anything other than, “did you see that...

    If you were guaranteed the same exact pay as you get now with tips, provided by a different pay structure with no tips of any kind, which pay structure would you prefer? Status quo pay with tips or hypothetical pay without tips? Same exact pay to the penny, tips or no tips? So hypothetically...

    Probably not much new here to your seasoned Ride-Hail driver, but this is a succinct video put together by VOX/FuturePerfect on the Tipping Issues and Culture in the Ride-Hail industry.
  13. Toronto (Ontario)
    So yesterday at 1:30am I picked up the MPP Micheal Coteau (Don Valley East). He is currently running for the leadership of the provincial liberals in the wake of Kathleen Wynne. As you will recall, that disastrous finish to the provincial Libs (in large part based on political entitlement)...

    After I have stopped doing UberEats trips for more than a year now, I recently signed up for Caviar for an extra income & give it a chance to test out how the experience may turn out. So far I have had positive experiences, but I have taken two screenshots where I accepted a trip with base...
  15. Delivery
    I received two tips today for $1.76 and $1.46. They must have put in a % option. This infuriates me because they have also eliminated quests and don't give a boost change for weekends anymore. X1.1 is an insult. Every week it seems like they find a way to pay the drivers less. I also can't stand...

    All I wanted to do was make $200 a week driving 10 to 12 hours for Uber. I thought it would be easy but it led me on a 1,500 trip odyssey. A little less than 3 years ago my wife and I retired. We sold our house and moved into a condo near by. The leases on our cars ended and we leased a Honda...

    Earning more tips as a Lyft/Uber driver without spending a penny Drivers all want to earn more tips, without doing anything or spending much to achieve them. Everyone is looking for that "magic bullet" that is going to help them achieve greater tips. What is the secret formula? Is it giving...
  18. Lyft
    So I had to take 3 daytime rides as a pax for the first time in a few months. I'm pretty annoyed as a driver now. Terrible advertising-When I opened the app, there's a banner I get 50% of mon-fri. That's great for me as a pax, but as a driver what good is it if Lyft never advertised it ahead...
  19. Advice
    I definitely have. Did 9 rides yesterday, not a single one of them tipped. I've definitely stopped tipping as much in bars, at restaurants, in coffee shops, etc. If people won't tip someone driving them to SFO in rush hour traffic why should I tip because you poured me a drink?
