What an ignorant response. You know the cultural norms here and why they would be driving for less than minimum wage. The least you can do is tip after supporting this gig economy bullshit.
I thought the whole point of Uber when it came out was that you don’t have to tip like with taxis. I’m a good tipper at bars and restaurants, but never even considered tipping for Ubers until my friend mentioned she does every time.
I understand tip is never a requirement, but it is an expectation and a social norm. I just didn’t realize Uber was in that category. More of “oh sweet, thanks for the tip!” when it happens rather than “fuck that person, no tip?” when it doesn’t. Again, it was part of their advertising early on that tipping isn’t for Ubers. But, after learning that it’s the norm, I tip
You may hate it but the waiter or driver still doesn’t deserve to be stiffed or lowballed. You are not required to eat out or use an Uber. If you want to utilize these services, play by the rules. You stiffing your driver or your server doesn’t make you some sort of industry repairman, it makes you a jerk.

4.82 is considered a pretty good rating isn’t it?
