You guys know that when you buy food at a restaurant you don't pay going market rate for it, right?

I mean, you can't take your Price Chopper adds into your fav red lobster and argue down the biscuits.

no I had no idea thanks

You have to 5-star. They get fired if their average goes to like a 4.5 or 4.6.

The whole point of uber was to provide an all in price in a cashless transaction. Guess that model didn't work.

I have heard multiple Uber drivers say they aren't supposed to accept tips.

Sounds like it's already too late 'bias. Time to burn it all down.

Right so ive got nothing to worry about? You're sending mixed messages

You said you 5-star instead of tip, as though giving them 5 stars is something special you've given them for good service in lieu of a tip.

That would be great, but uber views their drivers as having failed if they get an-y-thing below 5 stars. If you give them a 4-star rating, you're increasing their chances of getting fired. It's a bad system.

Knowing that, if a driver is adequate, I give 5 stars. If it's a little sub-adequate, I just refrain from rating. Only if the ride was one that compels me to think other strangers should be protected from having to ride with the driver do I rate sub-5-star.

The only way to reward the driver for being better than adequate service - if you're compelled to reward - is to tip.

I've never tipped an uber driver

You need to meet one and have them show you your passenger rating.

You can get your rating through the app too under help. They email it to you in like 10 minutes. I was 4.5 before tipping I think, now I'm 4.85'ish.

I haven't had one turn a tip down in probably 100 rides I've tipped them, most do act surprised....one ride back from KCI the driver was bemoaning people that don't tip and I was agreeing with him until I got close to downtown and realized I had no cash.

I don't think they will give you a poor rating for not tipping but I figured it's the right thing to do if they are a average or above driver....but it is a pain you can't just tip on the app.

I just looked for that and on mine it pops up the rating on the screen right when you push the button.

4.7

Nice app improvement. Just checked and I'm at 4.9!

That's funny that the drivers rate on the same warped scale they're on. I don't think a rider can get fired from life for being rated a 4.5/5.

I'm gonna blame my rating on probably getting 1-star'd for having a zombie kk with me while trying to get home from chinatown last year.

A perfect 5.0 on 5 trips

chum1 · « **Reply #371 on:** February 10, 2016, 06:09:15 AM »

To be totally fair, rider rating should be an exact reflection of amount tipped per trip.

Minimum 25 trios to brag on rating. It's a rule.

Uber is an example of a company that treats its workers like crap. The ambiguous stance they take on tipping isn't good for anyone but uber shareholders. It's worse than lyft by far.
