The sneak preview of my Japan no tipping review: it's awesome and liberating and service is incredibility professional and efficient. I know the cultural differences play a big part but I have a theory on tipping's role as well, to be shared in my full review.

Up to a 4.9 on 89 trips.

Pretty soon the drivers are probably going to start tipping me.

4.9 rating. Not sure how many trips. I'd like to think we definitely got a 5 star rating for serenading the driver with Backstreet Boys last time I rode with PurpleBear4 and MeigeCat in Lawrence.

Another hipster restaurant with another close soon to be... Sigh

I'm not sure why, but I like this sort of thing being implemented via increased prices vs. a mandatory service fee.

The comments to that article are pretty lol though. Saw at least 2 while skimming in which comment'rs declared they'd never darken el gaucho's doors again. I've still never heard that phrase in real life, but the comment section of the seattle times is close.

I'd gotten up to 4.8. After the seattlePAK, I'm back down to 4.68. Will probably be banned from uber after tbtPAK.

it was probably the intervention that occurred during one of the rides home that did it.

I don't remember that. I figured it was the one after chandler's when I was suggesting I drive.

I'll strive to keep my 5.0 rating in case you get banned before the trip.

Those are the only two trips that stand out to me. I think there were at least another two, but booze drugs.

How do you see your rating?

Gooch · « **Reply #421 on:** May 27, 2016, 11:50:51 AM »

I found it 4.94. How do I find out who the eff didn't give me 5 stars?

I'm down to 4.82 after some unfortunate recent events.

The 3 on mine were all within a 5-hour period that friday night - 5 Points to Chandler's, Chandler's to home, and Cap Hill to home. We train'd to Cap Hill I guess.
