My favorite tipping sign.

 

[Driving and Driven]

I would imagine when they magically roll out 1 million self driving cars, they want passengers to be accustomed to robots driving their cars. See their grooming of drivers as quiet, no-tip expected serfs. It will be a seamless transfer. One day you'll load up your pax app, jump in the car you ordered and be like "Hello...Umm excuse me....?!?! Oh... there's no one there" as you get whisked away by your driverless car.

"Um...I was just going to say we needed to wait a minute or so for my wife. She should be back at the pickup location...back there."

I just ordered a tipping sign from Amazon. I plan on only using it for Fri-Sat bar scene. That seems to be the most entitled ****** scene. I enjoy the business travelers & most weekday crowds

How much are they charging? I feel like this is something I could make for $3.

How about for free? I made mine with my printer.

 

[Woodbury77]

Yeah I meant to get it laminated.

Buy a pack of lamination sheets from Walmart. Use one to laminate your sign then return the rest and say they didn't work as well as you thought they would.

I had an old envelope of clear adhesive book covers. Boom. Laminated.

It is something you can make, I was just too lazy to put it together. for $7 I got 4 signs all laminated. Saying if you enjoy your ride remember to rate 5 stars. Then below that it says "Tips are not required, but greatly appreciated" Free shipping with all the stuff to to hang it from my headrest.

 

[Woodbury77]

Seems reasonable!

I finally put tip signs in. 5 rides Wednesday night and 3 of them tipped a total of $13. My wife made the signs at work and I bought a bag of zip ties at the dollar store. I had bottled water on hand, helped with luggage and played jazz music. I also put my PayPal address on the signs. Make sure you have change for at least $20. I'll post a update in 1 week. Rating is currently 4.89.

Can people see the signs in the dark. If your driving after 5pm it's dark out.

I put mine in a frame and added those tiny LED Christmas lights that flash. Very annoying for passengers but who cares about them.

I love it! I'm going to get a little battery operated string of Christmas light to use for the rest of the month.

I'm thinking about going back to day shift switched to nights for the month of November cuz days got so slow but unfortunately no one can see my sign after 5 pm and I ain't had a tip in 4 days because of that....

 

[Woodbury77]

I love the idea of a string of Christmas lights in general, might make the pax happier especially in this COLD time of year. Anyone think the uptight ones will think it's cheesy? Then again the uptight ones aren't going to changed regardless.

Here is a new idea on the tipping sign. What if you had a tipping sign with a QR code on it? in fact mabye just a QR code would be better. all pax get into car with cell phone in hand and they can't put it down. they are snapchatting, listing to music, whatever. they may scan the code. you have the code set up to go to a webpage that explains all about tipping uber drivers. you could have an "about me". you could have it go to a youtube video that explains and encourages tipping. you could talk about how if you have no cash, ask about credit card tipping with a square or paypal reader. you could put your paypal email address on it, etc.

 

[Woodbury77]

That's a really good idea, the QR code...

Yes and no. When they get in they see it. Roads and cities are pretty well-lit. I worked Wed night 9pm - 12:30am. 3 out of 5 trips tipped. The sign is standard printer paper size, all white, with black text and the word TIP stands out. I'm currently working on a smaller version of the tip sign. I was hoping riders would tip $1 or $2 but it was $5, $5 and $3. I recommend using string or ribbon to let the sign loosely hang from the headrest.
