    I had a passenger this last weekend that told me she would "tip me in the app" as the ride was ending. I asked her, "do you know what the phrase "bless your heart" means in the south?". She said no, so I told her "it has a double meaning, it could be sympathy or it could be an subtle insult, but it is typically used as an insult. Most drivers view the phrase "I'll tip you in the app" as an insult, because usually the person who says it never tips." She paused for a second, reached into her purse and handed me $20. I thanked her and she asked what I would have said if she had left without tipping. I said, "I would have said bless your heart".

      Thanks. I'm going to start using that with every rider who says "I'll tip you in the app"
      "Bless your heart."
      IME, 19 out of 20 riders who say that... don't. Riders who "tip in the app" don't announce it. They just do it.

    I work for what im worth a tip is a bonus. Had 19 rides in a row not to long ago that tipped. I get people that say theyll tip me and they have. I have to go back to last year to go to a broken promise of a tip that didnt happened. And ive had a lot say it to me this year and all that said it have.
    When you work for your price without the hopes of a tip is the way to go because thats just extra bonus you werent guaranteed

    Levi I sometimes get passengers that have to take Uber every day for work and some of them. I understand why they don’t tip because they’re having to spend so much to the apps there other times. You pull up to this really expensive house and they don’t tip.

      Because the definition of "gig work " is temporary/part time not intended for full time work yet many people rely on it for full time work and depend on tips because gig apps don't pay enough.
      Gig apps know when you rely on them as a full time job and they take advantage.

      Minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage, but look what people are doing driving the minimum wage up minimum wage was meant to be a starter wage for people just beginning to work some people like me who can’t physically work anymore use gig work to make a living so before you make a comment about something you’ve never done think about this

    Plus they also don't really want to tip because Uber and Lyft is charging them double with their used to taking and making it a little more uncomfortable if not nearly impossible in their minds to tip so there is also that reality even though they should still tip I can understand why they're apprehensive from time to time

    The first type of person described as "always tips" can't be assumed to be a good person. They could easily just be guilted into it or afraid of negative emotions or confrontation by not doing so even when the service is awful. This video even acknowledges this during the "never tippers" section.

      This is real. There's some "interesting" meta shit going on in rideshare lately. Riders are noticing and they're not liking it. At all. It's a problem, but it's also a huge opportunity for good drivers if you're not afraid to exert yourself as a true "independent contractor."
      Download and print out your uber and/or lyft driver contracts out on real paper. Yeah, I know, 99.999% of drivers just clicked "accept" without reading anything at all. Well, print it out, on real paper, and READ it. With a highlighter. One paragraph, one sentence at a time. You'll be amazed at what your actual driver contract says you can do.

    There is a Fourth kind of Tipper - One that says they are going to tip you, but they don't, to me that is the Worst kind, because they Lied to my Face. Basically I give everybody a five star, just to move on and go to the next fare, but the next morning when I am on the toilet with nothing better to do, I go through all the fares I done the day before and I Re-Rate them. If by the next morning they have not Tipped me when they said they were going to, I go into that fare and then Re-Rate them to a 1 Star.

      I had a fare tonight that I instantly gave them a 1 Star Rating after I dropped them off. I was going to give them a 3 Star the next morning because they were rude and loud, but just before it ended something happened that mad me see red with them. A passenger in the back got a call from an Uber driver who was at the place I just picked them up from, they had each ordered and Uber and I was just lucky I got there first otherwise I might have been on the other end of that phone call.

    I grew up in the hood and I don’t expect people from the hood to tip…and they don’t. The advantage is the demand in the hood tends to be consistently higher than the average norm, so the volume of rides kind of makes up for the non-tippers. And I have to add that in the more undesirable areas the fairs tend to be higher, go figure.

    I drive with Uber and ride with them as well. College town, so most rides are college students. The key is to lower your expectations. ex: with college kids, 80% don't tip... which is fine. But the ones who tell you they will tip in the app and don't are the worst. 99% of ppl who tell you usually end up not tipping.
    Now, when there is a surge and people are charged way over the regular price for the ride I understand why they would not tip, and I don't expect them to. ex: I take a short 3 min 1 mile trip from the train station to my house and Uber usually charges me $8. I know the driver gets around $4 out of it, so I add a $3 for tip. But sometimes when Uber charges me about $16 for that same 1 mile trip when there is a surge I don't tip, sorry.

    If there were a way that "non-tipping" rides could be flagged upfront, I'd never pick any of them up. There are proxies, pickups or drop offs... at high-end restaurants, high-end hotels, high end neighborhoods or buildings. Not a guarantee of tips, but the needle is moved in favor of tipping. Also, airport rides generally speaking are better tips. XL rides generally are better tips. Riders going out for leisure/entertainment purposes are better tippers than riders using rideshare as a substitute to owning a car.
    Riders who verbalize "tip you in the app" (or any variation of that) I automatically 1-star and wish bad things upon their entire family line. 95% of them are lying to you deliberately. For no good reason. Just exit the car and say "Thanks."

    Here’s the ultimate insult. You pick up a couple from the supermarket, they’re visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel. You provide the high-level of courtesy by unloading the groceries onto the hotel cart, the entire time the guy is directing you where to put the items on the cart without him even lifting a single bag. As you’ve probably know they didn’t provide a single dime of a tip. What a freaking a-whole!!

    You said that a customer would not have the courage to tell you at the beginning of the ride that they don’t tip even though you claim you’d want them to do so. Why don’t YOU tell the customer before the ride begins that you expect a tip? You wouldn’t dare do that would you?! Talk about setting a negative mood before a ride. Goes both ways.

    You aren't taking it too personal. In the United States tipping is customary for individuals doing certain types of service work. Also yes if Uber just paid us more then everyone would just be forced to pay more all around so those who tell us to get it out of the company, they aren't our employer we are all subcontractors, are just telling you they don't want to pay at all regardless.

    So you make career out of saying the unreasonable things ride-share drivers dream of, what you are saying is not what most people agree with. Here is a tip: forget about your tip and focus on opening a business and worry about the connections. You can have a really good tipper give you $200 on a $10 ride, or you can have a non-tipper give you a $900,000 contract. Act like a businessman, dress like a businessman and you will be treated as a businessman and will be a successful businessman. Talk like a beggar, dress like a beggar, act like a beggar, you will be treated as a one, and will always be a beggar. You beg for money and share you beggar attitude with beggars so that they remain beggars. That is low. Know more and be more, so that rideshare drivers can stop having the reputation of beggars and grow as real movers and shakers in their areas, as it should be. Your goal as a video publisher should be to facilitate class mobility, REAL class mobility…have drivers just from $90,000 USD a year to $450,000 USD per year, connecting business deals or something worthwhile dude. Stop this low life beggar attitude that will take drivers nowhere.
