Isn't it simpler to just stop this tip culture and adjust the prices so that drivers can have an acceptable margin by default?

- ghaff 7y agoSimpler for who? It's price discrimination. If you're price sensitive, tip not included means you get a lower price. If you're not price sensitive (e.g. on an expense account) you can throw in a tip.
- antirez 7y agoWhat you mean? The rest of the world runs without tips. What is discriminative is to leave the margins up to random customers picks. Instead there should be Uber prices for the driver that are fair, and no tip should be asked, so every driver knows beforehand what they are going to earn and if it is too low there will be very little incentive to apply as a driver. And Uber instead of correcting the fact people don't tip will just set a different price per km or whatever.
