I got a first time rider today. Her daughter instructed her not to tip. We spoked about that fot a minute. She tipped me $4.
I said that rates are 1/2 of the taxi rates minus 20% uber commissions and there is nothing else added on top of it exept a safety $1 that uber keeps for themselves.
I hope the ride wasn't on the daughters account. When she finds out mom tipped you, look out for 1 star.
I had 5 tips over weekend, the lowest was $5. One guy tipped $10 on a $7 dollar fare. Now I just smile and say thanks. I've been getting more tips on uber than on lyft.
Uber should pay from their own pocket 20% on top of what drivers made from the time they started with uber till time uber stops their TIP INCLUDED/NO NEED TO TIP song
The fact that Uber takes any position on tipping such as saying "tipping is not necessary" is taking advantage of the limited use of the English language public school grads have.
Coming from an authority figure, who owns the company it sounds like the law, or a hard and fast rule, when in fact it says nothing.
Washing your hands after using the bathroom is "not necessary"
Using your turn signal is "not necessary"
saying thank you is "not necessary"
If y'all want to have an impact on the Uber narrative in the press, you need to reach out to journalists on Twitter. And use some kind of consistent hashtag so it is easy for other journalists to find similar posts. (Most journalists will respect your request to remain anonymous if you ask.)
#UberXploits is one, but maybe something a tad more rider-friendly would be better.
With the latest admission by Uber in court that it lied to pax, maybe #UberLies would be better.

Just had a thought, the "Justice Industry" see UBER as a great opportunity for a new income stream.
There would be quite a few judges by now on first name basis with UBER Lawyers. The Judge sees the UBER rep walk in and $$$ signs light up in the Judge's eye's.
Easy judgement, no enforcement or collection cost, eeaassy money to pay court costs.
[QUOTE=""The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit." -Milton Friedman'[/QUOTE]
Ahhh, Milton Friedman, the man who touts free markets as the panacea to all economic ills. Though the quote sounds nice, it's not even remotely true. In a free market, exchanges often take place where one party gains at the expense of the other. Employee pay versus CEO benefits, which have increased exponentially on the CEO side versus employee side, over the last 30 years, is an example. Laissez-Fair with (the right amount of and fair ) regulation, which is a centrist approach, is better, for, without it, it's a fool's paradise.
