Oktober Knight Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yes, every single time. I used to be an Uber driver and they keep a majority of the fare so tips made a HUGE difference for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
differentkindahigh Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Yes everytime. And above average. Even as someone who doesn't make much money. I'm not going to give my opinion on that article. Edited November 1, 2023 by differentkindahigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxxxine Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 No, why would I tip on top of the service charges, surge prices, taxes, plus base fee. Highway robbery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsouko Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Obviously if you live in Europe or Oceania you don't tip because it's not a thing there. But if you are in the US and you don't tip drivers or waiters or delivery persons, you are scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
