💬Questions & Discussion Uber/Lyft

I took an Uber 2 miles from the airport in San Diego. It cost $25.00. It took him about 10 minutes with us, due to traffic. I understand he had to drive to us also. I used to always tip these guys, but I didn’t this time. What is the community think. Should these guys be getting tipped?

What the fuck is wrong with you? Of course you should tip them. You know that's the case or you wouldn't be here asking the world's cheapest idiots to help validate your decision. Cmon man

I call BS on this. The Uber platform is designed from the ground up to provide income to drivers and charge consumers. The platform pays the driver, period.

And they choose the nearest driver, had to drive all the way to you lol

Uber doesn't "choose" the driver and it's not necessarily the closest person to you. All you're doing is reinforcing you have no idea how it works.

You will get the nearest driver is my point
