Thoughts on government oversight when it comes to regulating Uber, Lyft, Instacart and mandatory tipping here in America.. what do you think?

[Zebra]

If tipping is mandatory, its really not "tipping", its just an additional fee imposed by the provider.

I guess you can do that if you want, but it changes the nature of the relationship.

very true!

OK first and foremost my brothers and sisters think about your fellow American. Think about the Mom we had to work three jobs including in the gig economy, to support her kids because we’re talking about a deadbeat dad he’s not around the house. Many mothers across the country are doing these jobs and some of them have been fired due to a false complaint. Look at this horror story here. including in the gig economy look at this horror story… this Walgreens employee a manager actually falsely reported not getting her food in order to get a free meal. This resulted in the woman getting deactivated from Door Dash.



that right there is why we need government government oversight on this. Because that’s a horror story ….and if we don’t care about our fellow American than what do we even care about ???

I think that this would apply more to gig jobs like Uber, DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart. Compared to say actual real live waiters and waitresses at a restaurant. And I say that simply because you can see if you’re getting treated like crap by a waiter or waitress at a restaurant …. It’s literally happening right in front of you.

Personally, I always tip even if the waiter is a piece of you know what.

Before I get into the idea of mandatory tipping, let me provide my own experience as an Uber driver, and the fax to those who have no idea what gig jobs are like or what it’s like to be in this business, and how incredibly different it is for being a waiter or waitress at a restaurant.

if you’re talking about a DoorDash driver or an Uber driver, they pretty much always have to do their job on time or they risk a contract violation. They risk losing their job. And it is much much easier to be fired on a gig job compared to fired as a waiter or waitress at a restaurant and I’ll explain why.

It’s because when you talk about Uber drivers DoorDash drivers, some of these people have been fired due to false complaints by customers. And on Door Dash and Uber the employees don’t even know what their boss looks like. At a restaurant the waiters and waitresses usually have a good relationship with the boss…. even if they don’t, they know what they look like they know what’s going on …I’m sure that there’s a very few exceptions to these rules but they’re pretty much ground in fact. A waiter or waitress that has been at the same restaurant for 10 or 20 years there’s no way they’re getting fired from that job unless they do something crazy. This does not happen with Uber drivers or DoorDash drivers. They could be doing the job for five years perfectly with 20,000 deliveries alls it takes is literally one false complaint and they get fired.

Anybody who has done gig jobs knows exactly what I’m talking about… I actually did 5000 Uber rides as a driver before the Covid virus and some insane black BLM person along with a far left wing white loser from Seattle literally made up a false complaint about me saying I was “driving too fast”… the other false complaint was I was “aggressive or rude to a rider I refused with the BLM lady to let her do whatever the hell she wants ..she wanted to go into a store for 10 minutes ..but they’re not allowed to do that. That’s abuse of the system. There are those on Uber who abuse the system and they make stops if they’re making a stop its supposed to be for literally in and out because you don’t get paid nothing for time it’s all mileage.

Get this, even though I was fired from Uber as a driver they still would let me use their platform as a rider. That’s how corrupt and greedy this trash company Uber is. That’s insane it makes absolutely no sense.

So again, if one is an Uber driver or a Lyft driver, they don’t get paid anything for the time it’s all for the mileage. So those customers who abuse the system and want to make one to even three stops are in the wrong …. It’s not like a taxi cab with a meter keeps running it’s just not like that.


That black BLM lady pulled out a camera and started videotaping me when I confronted her about abusing the system …and I said “oh so you think it’s OK to go into a store not leave a tip take advantage of the system and shop around for 10 minutes” I dared her to put it on YouTube and see how awful she would look.

The white lady from Seattle clearly a progressive leftie was a psychopath. I had to drive her and her grandkid(you feel bad for kids like this who grow up around psychopath lefties) from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and the entire time she’s complaining about me “ driving too fast “…I’m literally going 6 miles over the speed limit. There’s nothing wrong with that most people can go over 10 miles the speed limit.

Not too long after dropping off the white lady from Seattle, I was fired from Uber. And these monsters on Uber fired me for life that’s how sick these folks are. These are the enemies of humanity. The CEO of Uber is a monster and he has done this to countless Americans Black people white people that he’s fired, countless amount of them for literally no good reason …all bc the customers wanted to get a free ride so they make up a false complaint about the driver.



So there’s a little bit of a background, their you can clearly see how Uber drivers and there have been other people who have been DoorDash drivers with 15,000 deliveries ..alls it takes is one false complaint and they get fired. There’s tons and tons of videos on YouTube showing delivery drivers getting deactivated and it’s really a shocking thing that this is allowed to happen in America.


So this is a two-part question. Do you think that the US government should get involved here and step up and make sure that Uber, lift, Door Dash, Postmates, Grubhub, and all the same other gig jobs are not allowed to fire delivery drivers for literally no good reason. ???

When a customer makes up a false complaint and they get somebody fired. Or when a customer says “I never got my food” and they did get the food and they say they did not get the food to get a free order at the expense of the driver, who can get fired for that. …OOH YA you better believe the answer that question for me and practically every single gig worker is yes.

This never happened in the American past because you saw your boss, face-to-face, but with the gig jobs this is a new thing good American people across the country and immigrants as well…. These are good people they get fired due to a false complaint. Our government needs to protect delivery workers in someway, shape or form. They need to do something about this.


Now as for mandatory tipping. on Uber and Lyft, huge percentages of the riders never leave a tip. This includes rich, elite people whether they republican or democrat they don’t leave any tip. Doesn’t matter how good of a driver you are. This is a well-known establish fact tons of videos on YouTube show this. If people can afford to pay the fee for Uber and they are a tip the driver every time. People who don’t tip the writer drivers are inhumane in cruel. They don’t care about their fellow man. It’s one of the worst things to do to not tip.

All of these points are made because it’s vitally important to show folks who have never worked in the gig economy exactly what’s going on here just before they want to talk about government regulation or their thoughts on a company forcing someone to tip it’s really important that they understand the context of this. Some folks may not have even gotten to this paragraph and they’ve already made up their mind that would be wrong on them and that is part of being uninformed.

It will be in to see if some of my fellow Democrats would disagree with me because usually they stand up for the workingman. All those so much of their rhetoric is about race, division of the other nonsense. Let’s see what they have to say about this one, because I expect that Republicans with a pose mandatory tipping and mandatory government regulation, making sure that delivery drivers and ride your drivers are not fired due to a false complaint.

Check this out. Here is how the system is checked. There needs to be a camera in every single rideshare drivers car first off that’s common sense that’s just common sense for safety reasons and that’s also going to show us if the driver actually did something wrong if they did something really bad then yes ….they should get a warning or even fired. So there you go right there that’s how you handle the issue.

I don't use delivery services.

I definitely think we need the government to enter private business to help regulate. False complaints and firing for no reason is wrong and unacceptable. We definitely need more government control over many jobs in our country in my opinion. Mandatory tipping isn't a bad idea either. More government control over private businesses telling them what they can and can't do is a a very good thing.

I have family members who tried Uber and Door Dash, but later quit because they were just getting screwed over. Uber 10 years ago was awesome. I remember all kinds of people quitting their jobs to drive Uber instead because it was good money. I had a family member quit their job to drive Uber full time. Now Uber sucks as a fulltime job, the money just isn't there like it use to be.
