1. Pick up pax from high-end restaurant. He tells me he is a bartender there. The relatively short trip takes us to his second job, another very nice restaurant, where he advises that he is the manager. No Tip
2. Pick up another passenger from high end restaurant. Relatively short trip. He advises me that he is n process of owning several high-end restaurants in the very near future. No tip.
3. Receive next ping from Subway sandwich shop. Pick up employee. Take her home.
Fare $3.98. Tip: $5.00.
I've had two physicians as pax that I know of, one yesterday, a gereral practioner that gave an $8 tip 100% PT fare and a vascular surgeon that gave a two buck tip.
Yep, I have picked up people from very expensive homes, no tip. Brought home a woman from the grocery store where she works to her very low income apartment, tipped me $4.00 on a $5.00 fare.
I had a couple that left the wife's cellphone in my backseat. I didn't realize it till it started ringing. To their credit, I returned it to them, they had me take them to another location (reordered through Uber properly) and tipped me $15 on a $6 fare.
I have no problem with that. They were appreciative, provided me with two separate fares and tipped to compensate me for returning the phone. Good people.
Good morning. I had 3 pax yesterday too. First one was a 10 minute ride, tip $2. Second ride yesterday 22 minutes, tip $5. Third ride yesterday 47 minutes, tip $10. I have a sign I purchased from eBay that hangs on my head rest that faces back to the pax stating tips are appreciated but not required. Tips are not included in the fare. I made 12 trips last week. $40 in tips alone. This is a very part-time job for me. Invest in the signs and I can also guarantee your tips will explode. Most riders have no idea that tips are not included in the fare. The signs are legal as Uber lost its case in court.
