Is that really a problem? I honestly didn't even know Uber drivers rated the passengers! I would imagine a driver getting a bad rating for being forceful about a tip would be much worse for them than a passenger bad rating would be for me. I can take a Lyft, bus, tube, etc if I can't get served with Uber. Heck, in a lot of cases I can just walk. A driver can only drive for so many companies before they're churned out of the business
I really doubt that is, or would become, a thing.

- corobo 11y agoWow. Every time I've used Uber the driver has been quiet outside of friendliness and greetings until I engaged them in conversation (London, so maybe not as fussed about tips/pay?) I think I'd have to tweak my 5-star-unless-we-crash rating system if I had someone ranting against the company they're driving for
