In what way is it obligatory? The vast majority of Uber riders don't tip, and have no intention of doing so.
- hackernews2000 10y agoThey must have meant "culturally obligatory". Americans (at least New Yorkers) have a tradition of giving generous tips to all workers they perceive as not making a living wage. In other countries, tipping isn't as common and can be even be seen as rude (in Japan, for example).
- morgante 10y agoI'm American and live in New York. You don't tip Uber drivers. I'm sure some small percentage of people do, but it's definitely not the expectation. (Taxi drivers, on the other hand, do expect tips.)
