Picked up a pax in a nice residential area. He was on his way to a house-party, he asked if I could stop at the liquor store. I told him "sure thing!" I figured I was in for a good tip....
He comes out of the liquor store with a 12-pack of Miller High Life.:confused:
LOL! I kissed that tip goodbye!:rolleyes:

You have to admit though, taking low-priced horse piss to someone's house-warming party is classless.
Not really at all. I know for me personally it depends on the individual drink there are some that are low priced that I like better than higher priced drinks.

I personally think that the other person should just be happy that his or her friends showed up at the house warming party. That they cared enough to bring a gift is even a plus. I don't truly know what the finances of the people around me is even my friends we just don't talk about money. I would feel pretty bad if I looked down on my friend who went out of his way to bring a gift and than found out later that he had problems putting food on his or her table and really sacrificed to bring me something that I did not appreciate.

You're starting to convince me.... that you're the cheapo-pax who stiffed me on a tip after I was gracious enough to wait for you while you selfishly held up my car so you could purchase a 12-pack of Miller Low Life to share with your buddies. Your financial situation is irrelevant to the original intent of this post - the ability to size up a pax long before the ride is over to realize that a tip is not going to materialize. Sorry I 1-starred you though! :p

You can do better than that. You did not have me in your vehicle at least for that trip. My passenger rating and driver rating for that matter are both high 4.9X so you did not get the opportunity to one star me.

Your conventional wisdom seems to be opposite of many who find those who are the most financially insecure are the ones that tip the most often.

Quit judging people and I will not judge you for being an Uber driver!
....said the high-maintenance poo-pax who never tipped a driver.... :D

Sure, sure, if you say so....
I'm curious though, was the Miller Low Life actually shared amongst other guests, or were you left to drink the horse piss all to yourself. ;)

I ignore all invites to low life happenings..... Sometimes, even an Uber driver is capable of setting higher standards. :)
You have to be invited before your standards come into play, otherwise you are just the kid crying in the corner yelling to nobody that is listening about how he would not have wanted to go anyways.
