I've tipped the guy [maybe a licensed plumber, maybe an apprentice] who came out to clean out my storm water drain pipe in driving rain on a Sunday (on top of paying the ~$275 emergency callout fee to the company). I've tipped every ride share driver but a couple (one who left the "meter" running for 5 miles beyond my drop off and another who completed the ride in a different car than what the Uber app showed [as a guy, I was willing to take the ride; I wouldn't have been comfortable to have my wife do that]). AB5 or not; 1099 or not; they're doing me a service and I'm OK with tipping them for doing that service well.

> AB5 or not; 1099 or not; they're doing me a service and I'm OK with tipping them for doing that service well. So you suggest we start tipping commercial pilots, dentists (and other healthcare professionals) and your city council workers, like say street cleaners and garbage pickup folks? Where does it end? The money you’re paying them for said service should already be enough - it’s not a charity or friendship like some people in sibling thread are claiming (yikes) - it’s a business transaction
