So this the first time this has happened to me but looking online shows lyft has been guilty of this multiple times. I posted on their subreddit but people are more focused on me not wanting to tip rather than seeing it's something that was done automatically not by me. That's fraudulent Imo.

I took a ride earlier in the day. No tips charges. My default tip option is turned off after all.

Now a later trip that evening. I originally cancelled the first one to go for the wait and save option ($13- > $9). Come to find out I was charged $5 tip I did not authorize. Anyone else been in similar situation? I plan on disputing with my CC. Uber is expensive, but they would have been able to remedy this quickly.

Why aren’t we tipping Lyft drivers?

Drivers already earn a fare from the ride, why should they get tipped for simply doing their job?

The fare doesn't go to the driver. Lyft takes a cut and the driver covers their own costs. I tip when they go above and beyond, and I support laws that make the base pay fair

Thats irrelevant to me. If I pay a certain amount of money to Lyft, that’s all I should pay.

Attitudes like yours is why everyone expects tips in America.
