No, it's a complaint against Lyft since they made a conscious decision to include tipping, while their main competitor demonstrated that modern American companies do not need to bow to stupid customs.
[edit: shouldn't have implied that Uber is financially successful]
- teach 10y agoI think it's still an open question whether Uber has shown that "American companies can be successful." They are losing hundreds of millions per quarter and are only still afloat due to venture capital.

- smileysteve 10y ago> their main competitor demonstrated that American companies can be successful without bowing to stupid customs. And then Uber bent in May 2016.

- smileysteve 10y agoThey officially changed tipping policy as a result of a contractor/employee lawsuit. Drivers are now allowed to ask for tips, have tip "jars", etc.
- azernik 10y agoThat same competitor pays its drivers less (Lyft takes a smaller cut than Uber). So in this case, tipping has not served as an excuse to pay employees/"contractors" less than the competition.
