      I would say that Uber is a shitty company. Tipping is bs, you should get paid a decent salary and it’s your employer’s responsability to do that.

        Ok… Unfortunately, the current model is absolutely not that. So I’m not going to make the person making Uber deliveries to make ends meet suffer by stiffing them on the tip

      I think the user decides how much to tip in advance, and the app conveys that information to potential matches. Orders with low tips tend to sit there unclaimed, because no driver wants to bother with that

      I’m not sure if Uber does it that way, but Doordash does.

        Yeah but how cheap is the delivery itself, if the total with tip is under $2?

        I never go less than $5 when I use these apps, and I usually get pretty good service

          But you’re seeing a screenshot of an unmatched order that no driver has claimed yet. I’m saying that unless an actual match is accepted, that’s not really evidence that people in a place don’t tip well, just that some people don’t get their orders filled.

          If you never give less than $5, then any order you’re involved in will involve at least a $5 tip. That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.

            Right, I guess I assumed it was posted because it’s a normal occurrence in that area.

            That may not be representative of the orders you’re not involved with.

            I mean yes…? No shit?
