The real thing with tipping IMO is the unknown of where and when it's expected. At least at restaurants, it's pretty standard that you're supposed to tip and roughly how much.
It's like, there's some mysterious unknown correct tip amount. If you don't just automatically know this amount and don't tip at all or too little, then you're a jerk. If you tip too much, then you're a sucker or trying to get some other kind of favor. How about if you want to make a particular amount of money for doing some job, you just tell me how much you want? I can either agree and pay it and we're both happy, or not do it at all and at least nobody feels ripped off.
- OkGoDoIt 6y agoLike with Uber, one of the key features for a long time was there was no way to leave a tip, so there was no awkward question as to whether you should leave a tip. But now they ask for tips so prominently. Am I supposed to leave a tip? Uber is so expensive already, it’s not like adding a tip is something I’m willing to do unless I absolutely have to, like it’s understood I have to at a restaurant. It’s so frustrating.
- ziml77 6y agoLack of tips was the best thing about Uber. I've always found tipping to be absurd and actually hoped that Uber's popularity would help it set precedent in regards to tipping. It was disappointing to see them cave in to the complaints and add it in.
