This article seems to give way more credence to the option of being able to tip Uber drivers than I think is warranted. Just to add on for folks in other parts of the world, in the US, if you work a job that gets tipped, you usually can legally be paid way less as a base wage. > The American federal government requires a wage of at least $2.13 per hour be paid to employees that receive at least $30 per month in tips. If wages and tips do not equal the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour during any pay period, the employer is required to increase cash wages to compensate.
