I use Uber very occasionally...about four times...and have always paid on booking. No tips. As I said; maybe NOT for everywhere.
Tipping Uber drivers
no politics
Yes, it's another tipping question. I haven't seen one since yesterday, so I thought it was about time. I'm specifically thinking of Uber drivers (not food delivery).
I'm very much in the "no tipping in Australia" camp, certainly as far as restaurants and everything else goes. But what about Uber? I've normally been tipping $3, as the middle default option, only because I'm not convinced that the gig economy works in the drivers' favour. It still doesn't sit quite right with me.
I'd rather not support Uber if the drivers are being exploited, but every time I switch back to taxis they either refuse to take me because the trip is less than 10 km or they try to add all these bullshit surcharges to the fare.
So, do we tip Uber drivers?
I'm in the no tip zone though occasionally I do so. As I said it's a yank thing. And calling non tippers idiots is frankly stupid!!
