“But I never carry cash!” I hear you whine. Please. The Uber app literally asks you to tip right after the ride. You can do it while you’re still sweating from the car’s heat. No cash needed. No awkward coin fumbling.
Don’t be that person who says, “I’ll tip in the app later.” And then you never do. The app knows. The driver knows. Your conscience knows. Just do it immediately.
Should You TIP Your Uber And Lyft Drivers?? - YouTube
The weird exceptions
What about Uber Pool? You’re sharing a ride with a stranger who smells like popcorn. The fare is $3. Do you tip? Yes. Still tip a buck. The driver is dealing with both of your weird smells.
What about Uber XL with your whole clumsy friend group? Five people, three bags, and someone spilled kombucha on the seat. Tip $5 minimum. You owe that driver a therapy session.
And if you’re the drunk friend who pukes in the backseat? You’re not tipping. You’re paying a cleaning fee, and then you tip $20 for the trauma. Don’t be a monster.
