That awkward moment when your uber driver is telling you the struggles of driving and not making much and you proceed not to tip. Sorry not sorry. Want tips? Drive Lyft.

Should be given? @PwC2 I thought Uber's whole model was keeping everything in app without hassle and needing no cash? If there's no tipping feature in the app, expecting riders to tip via cash goes against their model. Also, I thought that was the major diff between Uber and Lyft.

Wouldn't consider this an awkward moment at all. There is absolutely zero expectation to tip an uber driver.

I've never seen tips built into fare unless it's an ubertaxi which don't exist in most of the cities I've been in besides NY

While zero expectation, that doesn't stop some drivers from alluding to or flat out asking you for a tip...or having a sign posted about how tips aren't included. I still don't tip, but it doesn't make the moment less awkward.

I've complained to Uber before because an UberBlack driver spent our entire trip trying to shame me into tipping him.

M1 that would be even more motivation for me not to tip through uber

@D2 wrong... a couple of months ago, uber said tips are not built into the fair and should be given

Tip is built into fare - default is 20%

SAVAGE

My last Uber driver told me that uber keeps the tips and does not pass them to the drivers. Maybe just another ploy to get me to tip him.

I wouldn't tip to begin with, and he'd get a shit rating for unprofessionalism

Unless this has changed recently, the tipping setting is included in the desktop version. It's always set to 20%

Tip is not built in. I've had a few $2.25 Uber rides, some that took 15 mins or longer because of pickup time, Driver gets $1.75. That's below min wage.
Agree, take Lyft if you want to tip electronically.
With ANY service industry, tipping in cash is always appreciated. When I travel for work and am using plastic, I tip 25% to help offset transaction fees and taxes.

Hey fishies, I have a friend who is interested in becoming a consultant but he’s taken an interesting path, would love your advice on any good angles he could take for applying/ types of roles. He has a bachelors in science (chemistry maybe?) from H/Y/P and after undergrad he took a less traditional route and was working as an instructor for things like tennis, piano, snowboarding, etc.. He’s a really smart, personable person who I think would be great in consulting. (Continued)
