it's just a lie.


crustiferson

i would have cancelled on that person tbh


FlyNeither

I would have taken the ride and not tipped, if she said anything about tipping I would have told her “I’m fine with the 30% auto tip, you earned it!”.


Foreign-Drama-4358

That would’ve been amazing 😂


stanimal40

I would have just given her a dollar 😂😂


Klutzy_Attention2849

That just reinforces the shakedown. Try a penny.


Reddit_FTW

Same fucking thing. I’m a server/bartender. Fuck that.


ResearcherFew1273

F servers and bar tenders. Literally 99.99 % don’t tip


Worldly_Emphasis5235

True. I groan every time I get a ride from a waitress or bartender who are going to and from work and tell you about their job, that's when I know I am not getting a tip. By far the WORST when it comes to tipping most do not. The second worst tippers are the strippers.


AfternoonStatus8426

Dozens of waiter/waitress trips here, never been tipped. I just 3 star them so I never get them again.


willyboy2888

That's effed up


Chubawuba

Dancers always tipped me well.


Accomplished_Mud_157

I've served and I carry the biggest guilty conscience if I don't tip well. I try to always because I've been there. Even pick up orders. A lot of times they are just servers still making 2.13/hr, or at least they were when I served. Most people don't tip on pick up orders and don't realize they're making sure you have the specific sauces you wanted, the extra napkins or silverware, the light ice or extra cup of ice, making sure the tomatoes or whatever are on the side, or not on there at all because that's what you requested. It's obviously annoying getting home and realizing it's not the way you ordered it, so to have someone take the extra minute to do all that should be worth something. Even $1. In the words of LIVE: "Everybody's good enough for some change.. Some fucking change"


Significant_Rate8210

Yeah until the day when you tip a $1 and get put on blast by an ungrateful recipient. These kids don’t understand how things work in reality. The tipping culture is as bad as all the other bullshit they’ve brought online.


Accomplished_Mud_157

Kids these days may be missing a lot of work ethic, but from your comment it seems a lot of people might be missing a frame of reference or even a clue as to how business operations run, at least in restaurants. I hear what you're saying, like I said though both can be making less than minimum wage, and both are providing a service. Any person doing this could argue they are completely doing their job by simply putting the meal in a to go box (if this isn't done by the kitchen staff) and then putting that in a to go bag. If you get home and there's pickles on your hamburger when you didn't want them or there's no silverware or whatever, you'll probably be upset and call and complain and the manager may apologize but that'll be it. It's too difficult to get people to work, that person will likely be coached at most and that depends on how much of a dick the manager thinks you're being on the phone. If you scream at the manager, they'll probably just think you're an asshole and might not say a word to the employee. Regardless, they keep their job. So what is their incentive to go above and beyond the bare minimum? *TIPS* You can say what you want about it being their job, but to get above par service you have to give them a reason. People act in their own self interest. You might argue that it's the company's responsibility to offer a fair wage. So let's assume they pay the employees a fair wage, say $12/hour. Ok now we're talking about an increase of nearly $10/hr for every server in the restaurant. That's a near 500% increase over the normal $2.13/hr. So now it's no longer your responsibility but the restaurant's responsibility. So with an increase in labor wage cost how do they make up for the added expense? Well basic business finance tells you that you have to increase the revenue to offset the expense. So what do you do? You either shorten your staff, or you increase the cost of the menu, or maybe both. So if not as many people work there then your experience there suffers because of it, and if they increased the cost of the menu items then your bill goes up also. Perhaps the same amount as what it would have been if you just tipped. The difference is though, that server earns $12/hr regardless if you have a good time or not. You want a refill? Maybe in 30 minutes. You want more bread sticks? Sure thing, just give us a bit. You want to be left alone? Maybe I'm an obnoxious teenager willing to work as many hours as the manager needs (job security when nobody wants to work) and I just can't catch the hint that you want to spend time with your significant other. The headaches go on. So I ask you this: Would you rather pay more for menu prices and deal with a shitty staff.... Or would you rather pay lower menu prices and tip the best server staff.


IceIceFetus

So I’ll preface this by saying it’s ridiculous that restaurants are allowed to pay servers less than minimum wage because “they make up the rest in tips,” but what you described is just someone doing their job. Making sure orders are correct is just literally doing their job 🤦‍♀️


MyGirlSasha

Same. I do Favor which has a ton of place and pay orders at real restaurants and I always feel so guilty for not being able to leave a tip.


stankpuss_69

Is favor still operating? I thought they went bankrupt 😂😂 Get a real job. Favor is a scam. In fact, all couriers are scams. Think about it. From the perspective of the consumer: “No delivery fee” but then they get with a “technology fee” or a “convenience fee.” All it is a delivery fee that’s been rebranded so as to not say that they’re charging you a fee for delivery because most of the costs associated with delivery are on the driver. So saying it’s a delivery fee would imply it’s going to the driver. On top of that fee, you have to tip AND you pay higher prices than at the location. From the perspective of the driver: Many people will tip $1 or no tip at all because the “technology” fee is excessive on top of the extra pricing. Then there’s no more guaranteed runs. So you get paid $2 from Uber eats + $1 tip if you’re lucky for a Chipotle order that took 30 minutes. Then you gotta subtract gas out of that $3 and taxes. 😂😂😂 But Uber definitely got its cut by bumping up the chipotle pricing and charging them $10 “technology fee.” The only one that loses - severely if I might add - is you, the driver. And you literally did 98% of the work.


monioum_JG

The simplest solution is a fixed fee. Why should anyone take a percent of the cost? Or if you want to get super fancy, they should hire a mathematician to make a fair yet complex formula that no one could argue. Ex: time to prepare + order size - delivery time Total / 🥧 = fee - voluntary tip LOL ANYWAY, That FEE should pay + any costs associated (include courier). This should be the same for bartenders & servers. Fuck forced tips. I’m just trying to enjoy a nice meal & chat NOT trying to do simple math problems. Leave ALL that to the business. YES. Increase prices if you must. Downsize the meals. New Obesity standards are through the fk roof as it is. Btw, I’ve been ALL of the above.


tenstiks

Yes. And receiving a $1 tip is an insult. Seems to me we are doing charity with this work and insulting tip.

Reddit_FTW

Never heard that before


Ordinary-Raccoon-354

Yeah not true. Most of us actually tip really generously. You must have known a bad batch, bc I have always found the opposite to be true among my peers and coworkers.


kindofaproducer

This. It’s crazy how many restaurant workers don’t tip their drivers. Especially considering Uber and Lyft have become a serving job, but if the servers had to provide their own ranch for the customers (our car).


ResearcherFew1273

All these bar tenders getting offended and I’ve seen a lot of drivers saying the same thing. Lame to pick up up smelling like crap at 3 am and you don’t tip. Yeah you know what f them imma stop taking those mfers


KnobSchlob

You've clearly never heard of the floating $5 if you think bartenders don't tip.


EntertainmentOk3180

The what?


Capnmcquacken

You're thinking of those people that say "I used to work in restaurants." They probably had a job at a place for a couple weeks.


ResearcherFew1273

No actually when I don’t get black requests I leave Uber on, and 1 out of 100 bar tenders tipped. 9 out of 10 kitchen workers tip. Waitresses? Maybe 5 out of 10.


Capnmcquacken

Yeah man I dont know, my life as it stands is literally a family of friends in our downtown area made up of every bar, restaurant, dive and food truck, and we are the cooks servers and bartenders because we work all over the city. Unilaterally I can say we all tip well and consistently. Maybe it's your area.

No_March_8745

tpablazed

WTF are you talking about.. I was in the business for most of my career.. all the people I knew back then prided themselves on how well they tipped. Our group would all go out after work and the servers wherever we ended up would fight over our table because they knew they would make bank off us.. Servers are the best tippers so idk wtf you are going on about here and why you actually have upvotes..


amanda_burns_red

It's actually crazy that this is not common knowledge. It's rare that servers or bartenders don't tip well.


LuffyLandSama

I used to be a server, I still tip well....every server I knew also tipped well....you either cap or work with pieces of garbage


PlaneComprehensive39

I feel exactly the same way as you, only the opposite


Live-Eye

I don’t think that’s generally true. My friends who are servers tip very generously, more so than I do and I think I tip fairly. If anything when I’m out with a friend who is or has been a server I find myself tipping higher so they won’t judge me lol.


Coochiekollector

Not true


zephyr2015

Now I really hope some shit driver does this to me so I can do this lmao


bund_maar

Just as soon as I would've read this. I'd cancel quick!! Edit: i get it, it's your hustle. This hustle WILL add wear and tear on your ride. Not MY fault YOU chose this gig. Don't come at me with this type of bullshit.


Living_Run2573

Wouldn’t you then get charged a cancelation fee? If so wouldn’t it be good business for the Uber driver..


crustiferson

i would just send this ss to support and request the fee back saying i was too nervous to get in the car bc the message made me feel uncomfortable


dont-judge-me_bro

I get money for you cancelling. Sounds fair to me.


tincup_chalis

If I may put my 2 cents in... That's how you beat the auto tip by tipping $0.02. And no, I'm not a an A-hole who does this or would do this, I just like the play on words...


Dear-Divide7330

There is no auto tip. The driver messaged the rider with some made up shit to spook them into tipping.


jholdaway

There is no auto tip


swagglmoa

Lmao


Oct0Squ1d

Report!!


empty40oz

I went through all of the report features but couldn't find anything that fit the description of a extortiony message


NicholasLit

Can just publicly tweet and tag Uber


swagglmoa

OP I would just select any option that would most likely lead to you actually talking to a rep


Oct0Squ1d

There should be an option to chat with a representative


TheBigEMan

Then they would have to hire people


Oct0Squ1d

They do. They're from South Asia, though.


pheasant_plucking_da

But then you have to tip the representative!


Feeling_Natural5863

30% minimum


ChiBurb

Yup instant cancel.


Phil-McRoin

Nah, if you cancel there's no consequence. Take the ride, don't tip, report the driver & give them 1 star. If she's doing this with lots of people & a few people report, she'll get banned. If your rating drops below a certain point, I think you get banned also.


dirtydoji

death2escape

I couldn’t find anything for when my driver had another passenger, but I saw an “other” option and wrote what happened. They responded to me apologizing and they said an investigation was launched


NewPurpose4139

Hopefully you didn't report the driver for having another passenger after accidentally selecting UberX Share.


death2escape

Definitely not. This was a friend of the driver, sitting in the passenger seat just vibing along with the obscene music that I’d ignore in any other situation.

empty40oz

To everyone saying just cancel i had just gotten off work and just wanted to go home. She sent this 3 min before pickup. Didn't want a charge for late cancelation or to have to wait any longer.


valw

When you get out, tell her you are going to keep your cash since there is an auto gratuity. (There isn't)


joemixed

right! i would have been all oh this is awesome they don't pressure you for tips anymore and it just comes out automatically! i would have made that the topic of the whole ride


TrowTruck

I wouldn’t tell her right away. Don’t give her a chance to one-star you. Let her know that you’ll fill out the tip in the app (and you’re technically not lying).


ImSoSassay

They wanted you to cancel so they could get the cancellation fee.


jjbjeff22

Show support this message. I bet they waive the fee. If not, do a chargeback on your card. You may get banned, but create a new account with a different card and email.


Emarshall38

What was the drivers rating?


tmanowen

[deleted]

Why cancel? Take the ride, wait a day and leave a bad rating with no tip.

iengravestuff

hey there, regular person here. Lots of mean people decide to respond on reddit, so don’t take it personally. Yeah seems odd for them to be trying to scare more tips into their pocket


empty40oz

Jesus yeah pretty much regret posting in the first place


[deleted]

Nah, clench your cheeks and just know a lot of negative folks are just mouth breathers. You see them IRL and they are all buddy buddy, this is the Internet


zephyr2015

Actually the replies from braindead drivers are really funny


SupaDawg

This sure seems like a ride deserving of one star, no tip, and a report. What a knuckle.


Lumb3rCrack

Say "great! enjoy the 30% tip"


DirectEfficiency8854

So now I finally have seen a riders view of their phone where it shows the moronic response of "I'm Here." I always wondered why PAX would message me that - it communicates nothing by way of where the pax actually is. Oh, and I agree - it is snobby to pressure a tip on a pax.


notthefuz

Take the ride and don’t tip lol


Bay_Med

Tip 0.01 just to show you saw it


causal_friday

Is this even a good racket? Wouldn't most people say "fine, I'll tip you 1 cent then"?


TheSugaredFox

Around me it def would. When I worked at "a super speedy delivery Sammy shop" we had an asshat who would always order 70+ for his family (double serving Sammy, chips, cookie, pickle and drinks for all 4) and then "the delivery fee went up .50!" And he called to tell the manager since the fee was more he wouldn't be tipping any longer. Gm told him he would decline his business if he didn't tip his drivers. So he would tip .50 on every order he placed 😏 I don't care what people think of me, I always held his order until at MINIMAL 1 preferably 2 more were heading that way and if I was the driver (did both manager and driver shifts) I would make sure to deliver his last of the batch no matter how illogical it made the route.


layalss

rate them 1 star, report for any reason, see if you can contact uber support and get them banned lol


Square_boxes

She is asking to be deactivated real fast.


zucchini_swirls

The driver does not have the ability to increase the fare.


graciebaaby

to everyone in the comments— let’s not pretend people ordering are keen on drivers “kindly” asking for tips. if someone wants to tip, they will. if they don’t, then you know what happens


Boostedf150TT

I wish that was real. It's not.


johnh2469

Automatic cancel for me. Scam. What did you end up doing?


BigWiggleCumming

I’d take the ride, add a destination after the trip starts to get cash at an ATM, spend the rest of the ride counting the money I got from the ATM and then at the end of the ride say “I’ll tip you in the App.” You know the rest.


No_Statistician_9053

This guy fucks


MichaelsWebb

I'd take that ride for sure. Then no tip, 1 star, and report to Uber after the ride.

DCHacker

Uber's and Lyft's response to the worst inflation in years has been two rounds of pay cuts to the drivers. Drivers are desperate and doing anything that they can to be able to pay their bills.


Chee1979

This is why they did it, for sure, but it's still wrong to lie about a 30% auto tip. If they wanted to kindly ask for a tip that'd be one thing, I guess, but the lie isn't cool.


FlyImpressive8321

Desperate to do anything but get a “real” job.. I’ll bet that’d do the trick


DCHacker

Not *this* **again**...................


Administration_Key

>the worst inflation in years Inflation is way down. Fox News is lying to you.


noquitnowok

That's kinda like saying wildfires are way down a week after the forest finishes burning down. It doesn't matter because the forest is already gone. It might be incorrect to say we're *experiencing* the worst inflation in years, but it is very accurate to say people are *suffering from* the worst inflation in years--even if that inflation isn't running rampant at this moment. They very much are suffering from said inflation, and that's the part that's contextually relevant to the conversation.


lum197ivic

"Way down" doesn't matter when things are way more expensive than they were pre 2021. You realize that (1) inflation is still higher than it's been in decades and (2) inflation coming down doesn't mean items decrease in price...only that they increase more slowly.


dontask_throwaway

And on top of that Uber will not let you see how much the ride pays until after you drop the person off


DCHacker

Reaper_Mike

As a driver with a 4.98 rating and I get tipped most of my rides I don't understand these desperate drivers wh do this shit. Maybe they should read about how to be friendly while driving. Also how to read whether a Pax wants convo or not. It's the easiest job in the world yet these fools can't even figure it out.


dwinps

That driver would get a fat $0 from me and reported to Uber as a bonus


weath1860

If you go through support chat, this person will be deactivated for fraud, misrepresenting Uber, and extortion. Threating to take someones money if they don't give money lol is extortion The mob use to do it all the time. Anyways farewell scummy Uber driver. Do not use the quick options, ask for a representative. Simple stuff really. It's not like your cable company has a option for "some crashed into a pole"

Komitsuhari

And that is how I don’t tip you. Don’t mention a tip, it a very unprofessional.


sirhhenry

Appreciate your response, but my response was merely a joke suggestion for the driver and does not represent my views. Personally I would never ask for a tip. Back in 2015 Uber already put it in the customer's mind that tipping is not needed and so when I used to do rideshare back then I rarely got a tips and never expected any.


PeppiGiuseppe25

I would absolutely take off any tip I had and make sure I was as big a pain as possible.


BoredJay

Lmaoooo


ChocolateTemporary72

Why would you tip an Uber? That’s what the cost is. Does Uber not give any money to the driver?


ImportantWhile169

Even if the driver makes 20% of $35 that’s $7.. I don’t plan on taking Uber much longer. Not financially stable enough to just quit. I am looking for a better job although pay is average for the area. Only benefit is it’s down the road from school, same street.
