No, fuck this. You think riders care about their rating? We care about not having to tip where it's not customary because it's a stupid fucking idea. It's bad enough you have to tip in the US for restaurants because business owners are too cheap to pay their workers a living wage and the US doesn't give a fuck about its people making a living as long as the rich get richer. Now this stupid custom is even spreading outside the US. I was in Prague and every restaurant wanted tips. What the fuck? I'm tired of having to pay others' salary because the fucking laws don't protect people and business owners prefer it. Fuck them and fuck this tipping culture. Uber drivers don't do shit to deserve tips and they don't deserve tips. Not killing me is not a fucking tippable act. It's expected as part of the fucking service. Fuck them for expecting it and fuck Uber for not paying enough and fuck the government for not fixing this.

So without tipping, going to a restaurant, you aren't paying the employee's salary? I can see how it can be confusing, the first few times you are in a tipping situation, coming from a non-tipping culture. But after that, what is the issue? If the tip is an onerous financial burden, then you shouldn't be eating out anyway. I mean, how many times are you going to grumble to yourself, "the bill says x but I gotta really pay 1.2x" before you just understand that's the way it is.

  No, you completely misunderstood and jumped to the wrong conclusion. I have no problem tipping at restaurants in the US, and I tip well because I realize the US system and culture are broken. The problem is with this ridiculous system and culture spreading everywhere else, to other industries and to other cultures. And no, I'm not paying the employee's salary directly anywhere else. That's the employer's job. It's absurd to suggest otherwise.
