I wanted to reach out to drivers. So we chatted a bit and I asked him what he thought about tips. He says he declined unless someone just leaves it on the front seat.

He says it's in the contract that you cannot collect tips. And he's more worried about the bonuses going down.

I tipped him a 5 anyways and he kinda laughed and smiled.

What's this contract about no tip collecting allowed?

Also my buddy told me I could be reported to Uber for encouraging him to accept tips.

This guy sounds like an uber shill. I would never turn down a tip

 

[drivininsac]

Was he a Lyft driver also? I had one of their mentors actually tell me not to accept the tip unless the pax left it behind and I didn't take it out of the pax hands. I then read the Lyft TOS that says it's fine to take the tip.

 

[Jimmy Bernat]

I always tip my drivers and I once had a guy say he didn't want it but I kinda forced it on him . I don't get that but whatever . I don't turn down tips

 

[DRider85]

Well what is this contract he's talking about? When did it say that? Also for lyft my mentor did say don't accept cash tips.

No he just drives Uber. I told him about lyft tip options and he was surprised.

 

[Fishchris]

Amazingly, even some newby Uber drivers think we cannot except tips !
Ubers brainwashing runs deep !

Then again, how much wouldn't we know if we were not hanging out here ???

Hard to learn anything when the company your driving for wants to keep you as stupid as possible.

 

[drivininsac]

1. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

2. Accept any cash tips.

Right. It's unfortunate that this guy literally turns down five dollar bills.

It's a good thing I'm on this forum. I would be much more lost.

I told him to look into the lawsuit. I hope I planted a seed in his head.

The 2nd guy drives 50 hours, been doing it 4 years and seemed like an Uber pro. Said he used to make 50 an hour. He really reminded me of the Red Leader. I gave him a 5 dollar tip and he thanked me and told me he also tips his Uber brothers.

Really thought he was Red Leader at first. His knowledge and composure.

DRider85 is spot on (correct, for all you young people).
I thought he was an Uber shill back when I was new and thought Uber could do no wrong too.
We've both grown since then.
Thank you DRIDER85 you've helped a lot of us become better

 

[LuisEnrikee]

My first delivery was a wing spot place that the person ordered enough food for it to have 3 two litter cokes. I'd imagine it coming out to $30+. The ****** handed me a 1$ bill! I laughed in his face and said are you kidding ? Keep it , you probably need it more than me . And left .

DRider85 ... Asking the asinine questions so we don't have to!

He's wrong. He either misread something interpreted something he saw or heard or just madecided it up.

The video, at least the one I watched a million years ago, said we should turn tips down and only accept them if they insist. Nothing in our contract about not being allowed to take tips. Most likely he's confusing no rides for cash, "street hails" for no tips.

At one point accepting tips got you fired. This is no longer the case and many drivers who dont know about UP may never know this policy has changed.

I've been driving since mid '14 and it wasn't the case then.

I always ask " you sure"? While yanking that bill out of their hand at the speed of sound d to a nice audible " pop,".
I have learned to slow the snatch down just enough not to cause pax brush burns . . .

My first delivery was a wing spot place that the person ordered enough food for it to have 3 two litter cokes. I'd imagine it coming out to $30+. The ****** handed me a 1$ bill! I laughed in his face and said are you kidding ? Keep it , you probably need it more than me . And left .

I would have took that dollar and thanked him as if it were $100.00
The key to graciously accepting tips is to quickly put money in pocket pretending not to notice the amount.

My second Uber ride as a pax, the driver refused my tip. That's why I don't get mad about tips. Most pax think it's against the rules. A tipping option is basically useless. Travis ruined it. We need a raise, not tips.

 

[Go4]

If you owned a restaurant but didn't want people to tip the waiters, you would raise their pay. Then tell your customers what you've done and why.

Why doesn't Travis pay us a living wage? Oh well it is what it is, I und er stand that.

So DRider85 you're paying for pointless Uber rides in order to meet clueless drivers so that you can come back to the board and start threads about how clueless they are. lol

He's trying to start a resistance!

It's just that none of us are quite sure what he is doing...
