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.
A cab ride cost you $400 before tipping???
It really didn’t occur to you that MX$ isn’t USD?
Yes. I don’t use Uber, so I did not know what MX$250.00 meant in that app.
It did not occur to me to refer to another country’s currency in terms of dollars, which is how that looks to me (MX$ = “MX Dollars”).
Also, thank you for correcting me, but you also come across as a bit rude.
$ was used for pesos before the U.S. existed. It evolved from an abbreviation of ps for Spanish peso.
TIL. Today’s lucky 10,000. Thanks!
There are a lot of countries that use a currency called “dollars”, Canada, Australia, NZ, Hong Kong, Singapore, Fiji, I’m sure there’s way more that I don’t know or remember.
It looks like it is in Mexican Pesos. 250 pesos is about 13.50 usd.
Ah. That makes more sense. Thank you!
The taxi ride I’m going to make today will probably cost that much. 20 miles, Germany. But my health insurance pays.
I think I would buy a bike, ride it there, and abandon it at my destination for that price!
I imagine that might have something to do with why he’s taking a cab
I have a bike, but I can’t ride it because I’ve had an operation.
