Are Uber and Lyft doing this too? Should we tip them in cash? I've wondered if that was better for them.

- newfriend 8y ago100% of tips goes to the driver for both Uber [1] and Lyft.

- SilasX 8y agoI would prefer this be phrased as "Uber does not take a cut of tips for drivers." Drivers would definitely prefer, for a given dollar, that it be given in a way that does not create a taxable paper trail unless they elect to declare it.
- mikeash 8y agoI’m all for helping out the worker and always tip fairly even though I think we should abolish the custom, but I draw the line at changing my behavior in order to enable tax evasion.
- docker_up 8y agoUber/UberEats pays their drivers a flat time/distance rate. If a customer gives a tip, this doesn't affect their pay for the drive (unlike DoorDash/Instacart), and the tip is 100% owned by the driver.
