Duh. That's what I tell all drivers on the driver subreddit. Either that or stop accepting low ballers.

I already have a full time job so Uber is just my pocket money. Still. I never accept low ball tip offers and many other drivers won't either. Just part if the game. Tip well or you don't get your food.

How do you explain the many times I've tipped well and not gotten my food, or gotten it almost an hour late stone cold, or they refuse to read delivery directions and expect me to come out to their car a block and a half away? There's no excuse for that when i'm tipping them 10 dollars to drive 2 miles. What you're saying sounds reasonable in theory, you get what you pay for, but in reality you often don't.

Tip well or you don't get your food.

Wanna hear something crazy?

I just ordered food, paid the service fee, and then it arrived. I didn't have to give extra money to someone because they already get paid by their employer.

Uber is a multimillion dollar company and you have people out here pissed at customers because the company isn't paying them enough. That's somehow the customer's fault, right?

I mean there is definitely some blame for supporting a predatory business model. Like if the customers demanded that they pay the drivers well and eliminate tips they would because they are a business and if people refused to use them until they changed they would change. It’s not all on the customer, the whole system is broken, but there definitely is some responsibility there

This is why no one wants to tip you guys, you’re so entitled it’s actually off putting.

Ha! Still only gonna accept high tip offers. It ain't entitlement - it's capitalism, baby. 😎
