Picked up Ryan Getzlaf from the NHL Ducks last night. His current contact is worth over 66 Million. Made 9mil for this season. Huge mansion in Coto de Caza. Orders a freaking UberX for a night out with his wife. Makes me wait for about 4 minutes. All that and ZERO, ZIP, NADA tip. Just WOW! #cheapass

Not surprised, some people have no clue on the different classes of vehicles they just order and "uber".

Or more than likely X was the only thing around the Coto area, probably no XL for sure.

Sorry, he's a cheap ass. You're not entitled to a tip, but it's classless to not tip servers of any kind.

Because he's a millionaire has nothing to do with it. He's not required to drop hundo's all day, but damn DUDE!
Apparently drivers aren't "entitled" to living wages, either, let alone enough of an income to meet quality and safety standards in this industry.

People throw a lot of words around these days without comprehending their definitions or context. Entitled is easily in the top five of most misunderstood and overused words in the English lexicon.

All working people are entitled to living wages and those who work in industries with immense cost and risk factors are entitled to much more.

I don't care if people don't tip so long as the pay I receive is reasonable relative to what I have to invest to provide services. I'd prefer to forgo tips altogether in lieu of a vastly improved salary.

America has always been a nation of notorious cheapskates. It's at the core of all this nation's ills.

We don't inhabit an economy so much as an eCONomy.

Odd how we tolerate in every other facet of life what we never tolerate in sports.

Sad to think that my broke ass can tip every driver and delivery man, but multi millionaires are exempt as always.
Last time I lived in SF I worked for an event staffing company that only served the Bay Area's wealthiest people. Larry Ellison, Gates, Sean Parker, Stanford U... You get the picture. Easily the worst tippers I've ever seen by far. And we mostly did mobile valet services. You'd think they'd tip well given the fact we were driving their immensely expensive cars on busy streets.

Nope.

Cheapest people I've ever seen with no excuse whatsoever for being so. We routinely got stiffed and most tips were a couple to five bucks. Truly disgusting.

Nice. I had one last night. 6 mile trip, a huge hassle to deal with security BS, then more waiting. If I wasn't out in BFE I would have cancelled. Ended up with a $28 tip.

No celebrity in the car, but Paris Hilton was in attendance where they were.

Nice! We doing something right. ???
I was so frustrated after that trip, I was headed home. As I'm about to make a u-turn, I get a Lux 45 ping. I knew there was no traffic on the 101 in both directions, so caved in. After the trip, I see the previous pax tipped. Then, Uber actually paid out surge last night. Not a bad night after all.
