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. 

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.

absolutely not uber is so expensive here already

No, why would I tip on top of the service charges, surge prices, taxes, plus base fee. Highway robbery! 

No, but I live in the UK. 

No because i don't live in the US

 

 

I tip delivery drivers sometimes though, when it rains etc.

Isn't the service industry in the US basically modern slavery though? If they don't pay their staffs and they need to rely on tips 

 

 

yes, i always tip 20% because i know they’re not making very much

 

i don’t take uber often though, usually only when it’s very late at night so i’m grateful to be picked up and get home

Yes

But why do this to service people? If you’re issue is with tipping itself, that’s really not fair to the individual.

Dems are working class people, they've been in the service workers' positions and know how to conduct themselves. 

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.
