I wanted to switch to Lyft but stuck with Uber when I found out that Lyft has a tip option. It's not that they aren't great or deserve more money, it's just that I don't want to be a party to their employment arrangement. I really dislike tipping and would prefer that the product be priced correctly to begin with. I still do so as social protocol dictates, but eliminating the exchange of money entirely is probably the most valuable thing Uber provides for me.

> I really dislike tipping and would prefer that the product be priced correctly to begin with. I disagree with this in part -- I will agree with you that most of these people deserve to be paid more regardless, but I disagree in the sense that they all be paid uniformly. Better service should get a better tip. If that's priced in, I have no choice in the matter, I am paying the same price for subpar or lackluster service. This would make me change services as a whole rather than just chalk it up to I had a bad driver. Allowing me to tip based on the level of service I receive is a form of recourse for the customer in the event of a terrible experience. It's also an incentive to the driver to perform better.
