With us drivers depending more and more on customer tips, do you send a thanks for the tips received?
I try to send a thanks but for some reason that function only works about 25%of the time for me, anyone else having this problem?

I only send thanks for a $5+ tip, except in unusual circumstances.

For instance, a $2 tip from a bad area where the person doesn’t have much
might still get a thank you.

$10+ tips ALWAYS get a thank you.

I’ve even thought about sending a sarcastic thank you for tiny tips or no tips. I haven’t done this yet as I don’t want to get complaints about being unprofessional after the fact.

It is too bad there isn’t a sarcastic way we can “thank” them for tips less than a dollar.

I’ve got an idea- why not have a message for the tiny tips that goes like this: “Thanks but no thanks for your microscopic tip. Even though Canada has taken the penny out of circulation, I can see it is alive and well in your household. By the way, I find more than your tip amount on the ground at fast food drive thrus.”

I send a thank you every single time. Sometimes however, I'll look at my activity for the day and it will show a ride I already thanked them for but it will show as me needing to thank them again. (which I promptly do)
This is what I encounter. Not a bunch but there seems to be certain days were I have to do this on every ride. Also, has anyone went into an actual trip after thanking them through the earnings activities? I go to the earnings activity page, send thanks, and then the heart turns black. If you click on the actual trip and go into the trip, the old send thanks Blue Button is there. The weird thing is it's always lit up blue as if you did not send thanks. I have yet to see it change and indicate you have already sent thanks. It's like you have to do it twice , one from the earnings activity page and one from actually within the trip

I also thank anyone above $5. And have thought about thanking the low tippers, but have not because I don't want them to downrate me.
