People don't even want to tip waiters and waitresses at restaurants even when they do a really great job & provide excellent service. I honestly don't have any answer for this question though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207294890895032371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800861115237125074.post-57619467859930970432017-05-15T16:14:21.198-04:002017-05-15T16:14:21.198-04:00I think Shanice brings up an interesting point her...I think Shanice brings up an interesting point here. I have been in a handful of ubers who accept tips, although it is against company policy. I also think that during "surge pricing" hours, tipping should not be an option, because the fares can get really high. I think as long as there is not surge pricing, tipping should be an optionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05193998711398051520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800861115237125074.post-13315022916878600882017-05-15T12:42:04.139-04:002017-05-15T12:42:04.139-04:00I know that Uber has said one of the reasons they ...I know that Uber has said one of the reasons they don't want to introduce a tipping option is to prevent drivers from only serving customers in more affluent areas. Their argument is that tips from wealthier customers are likely to be significantly larger than those who are not as well off, so drivers would spend more time in wealthier neighbourhoods rather than serving the whole city. But there are so many Uber drivers that I highly doubt there would be a lack of them in less affluent areas. In any case, I think that if this did happen, the need would be filled relatively quickly because people will see the need for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16823079975008751658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800861115237125074.post-59356331628985160402017-05-14T22:50:35.491-04:002017-05-14T22:50:35.491-04:00I don't see why tipping isn't a thing with...I don't see why tipping isn't a thing with Uber. Lyft allows their customers to tip, so how hard would it be for uber to have the option on their app? I guess I don't really understand what Uber's argument against tipping is (?)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409152374127072986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800861115237125074.post-9982495408174369482017-05-14T11:13:51.553-04:002017-05-14T11:13:51.553-04:00Unfortunately for uber drivers, I do not think tha...Unfortunately for uber drivers, I do not think that adding a tip option is going to greatly increase their revenue. Due to the fact that we have now created a norm that you don't tip them, people expect to pay a certain price and are not interested in paying more.

I would normally say no because the service they offer is what you are paying for and nothing more. But if your driver is engaging, offers drinks/water then yes. Over spring break In Myrtle Beach my friends and I had a driver who had bottled water and such, so in this case I would say yes because this was like additions to the service.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17051509160440934807noreply@blogger.com
