I'm sure I read about someone getting a one cent tip but I don't remember which forum it was. The reason I ask is because of this Uber billing glitch which is two digits off. I think a one cent tip could be another two digit glitch in the wrong direction.
Yes st pats day 2018 two guys one Russian girlfriend guy kept bragging about being from prominent family and his gf from prominent Russian family and all the expensive watches he bought in Vegas . the drop off on market no way to get to other side of street
One cent tip
I hope he got something .?
Uber should not allow this by putting in code that does not permit it to go thru. it's like harassment. Anything less than $1.00 is an insult a penny is a literal FU it's worse than no tip.
An insult is only effective if the targeted person feels insulted. When I was given a one cent tip, I couldn't give a flying duck. On the contrary, if all non-tippers had tipped me one cent, I would have earned an extra $100 over my rideshare career. Who's going to say no to an extra 100 bucks?
Leaving a one cent tip would be more insulting in services where tipping is customary instead of the exception, such as restaurant servers. The lack of tipping in rideshare, though, is just one of the many misconceptions pax have about the service.
The only time I got marginally annoyed is when a bag used to contain female hygiene products got into the car for a 5 minute ride. He immediately piped up, asking about tipping. He said, "I guess tips are an important part of your income?". I replied that it was nice to receive them. He then went on to ask about other aspects of driver pay.
5 minutes later he got out and, of course, no tip. If they're not going to tip that's fine; it's expected, but making a song and dance asking about it and then giving no tip earned him a preemptive 1*.
Or pax may generously round up the amount they pay. For example, instead of paying $59.99 they kindly round up to $60. Hell, some of us drive for $0.62 per mile. $0.01 is awesome!
Same. Dropped off a girl and her boyfriend from a strip club but boyfriend had his dick out in the car. Told him to put it away and threatened to kick them out. Dropped them off after they apologized profusely. got my 1 star and one cents next day.
I got a $.05 tip from a guy who promised a $5 tip if I would take him thru a Bojangles drive thru less than a mile from his apartment.
The next two times I recieved requests from him, I stopped at the entrance of his parking lot, forcing him to walk 50 yards. Both times, I cancelled and drove off as he was arriving.
That's the problem!! I think the guy really was trying to tip you the $5 he promised but the app got the decimal point in the wrong place. That's my theory anyway and I'm sticking to it.
Got a 1 star and 1 cent tip from a drunk millennial who promised to tip me $20 in the app for stopping at a Burger King drive-thru. He ended up paying a $40 clean-up fee for "spilling his food." After that, all tips for drive-thru stops have to be paid in cash and in advance.

Did a delivery once for someone who lived on a "no parking anytime" block and got mad when I wouldn't leave my car idling in the red zone with my hazard lights on to deliver the order. ??
When she came to get the order we exchanged unpleasant words and a few "FU"s and even SHE left a .10 tip. ?
Sometimes people are completely ignorant of how to use the app
