What I've always found interesting about Uber is that if you have one bad night in San Francisco, it could adversely affect your ability to get a ride in Bahrain several years later.
Sure big companies create efficiencies, but they also create Orwellian situations like one above.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI doubt one bad night will affect your ability to get a ride, assuming you have a decent amount of other trips “proving” you won’t be a problem, driver or passenger wise.
- spaceflunky 7y agoIf you're already at say a 4.2, a 0 could really bring you down if you don't ride a lot. Also, IIRC drivers can and do reject rides for people at their predetermined threshold. E.g. they will pass on a 4.0 waiting for a 4.5 or above (or whatever the thresholds may be).
- linuxftw 7y agoaka, always tip.
- Scoundreller 7y agoBut how much? Do I need to tip more if I go unmatched on a pool? Should I have known I wouldn’t be matched at 4AM? If I get continuous matches/delays, can I tip less? Was the driver just pretending to be interested in my life story, so I should tip more because of that? Ahhhh, I liked it the way it was before...
- linuxftw 7y ago20-25% is customary for service providers, especially if you're the only client being served at one time. Never tip less than $3.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoLudicrous. 15% is customary for restaurant waiters, other than that there is no need to tip. Can give barber a few dollars, doorman a certain amount at Christmas. I prefer a society without tips, and would like to know what something costs up front and know the vendor is providing their service to the best of their ability.
