I don't want tipping to be a thing. I'm also hoping that it doesn't impact how the driver will rate me after-the-fact (I'm assuming it won't. I don't know how that system works. It's unclear to me, and the landing page + click-through page doesn't seem to identify that well enough for me.)
I use Uber to commute in Seattle (often both ways) and have encountered repeat drivers. Will they give me a lower score now that they realize I'm not tipping them?
Not tipping is what made Uber more simple and required less effort on my part. Tipping a taxi driver was annoying and this will be annoying too.
I was also wary of using food delivery app services for the longest time because of the tipping. I am glad that I can just do a $5 tip (or whatever) + built delivery fee IN THE CHECKOUT process and not worry about it AFTER they have showed up at my doorstep with the delivery.
TLDR: I don't want to tip because it requires more effort and consideration from me as a rider after the fact. I will not tip like this.
As an aside, I've tipped an Uber driver ONCE before because it was a distant airport ride and he helped with the very heavy luggage my girlfriend and I had. I gave him cash.
Edit: For whatever it's worth, I tip waiters and stylists very well. I don't have anything against tipping itself, just this kind of implementation into an app service where it didn't have tipping before.

Tipping should be anonymous and pooled, reporting done daily across all riders.

- gdulli 9y agoI actively avoid any situations that require tipping, outside of restaurants where it's too inseparable from the experience. Tipping waiters is unavoidable but I'm not going to put up with any new scenarios where a business gets away with paying a worker unreasonably low pay and the gap is passed on to the customers.
