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.

    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.

      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.
