This guy was very helpful and informative, and there was a really bad accident on the other side of the highway he was going to have to deal with on the way back. I was going to tip ~60% but apparently I’m restricted to about ~30%.
It’s very unfair and corrupt that a corporation of Uber’s size can limit tips to the workers that are the entire reason they exist.
Venmo it directly to the driver.
Valid solution, but I just checked the app and there’s no way for me to contact the driver and there is no Venmo listed on his profile.
And knowing Uber, I doubt they would even allow drivers to provide links to tip them externally.
You’d have to do it while still in the presence of the driver by asking them for it to tip them directly unless you have cash.
Yeah… This is the same solution as the guy who suggested carrying cash. I went to tip after leaving the Uber. At least I know for next time but this just gives me more reasons to dislike Uber.
I doubt they could prohibit that, and even so, that would not be enforceable.
