Uber Driver Tip-Hustling Schemes

I treat tips the same way that sales managers treat commissions. (I wouldn't be surprised if that's the model it came from, actually.)

If you pretend to care about me and my company while we eat at your restaurant (or whatever) and do all that you can to make the experience a good one for us, then we will tip you well and we will more than likely come back. 20% is usually my minimum, but I've tipped 50-100% sometimes.

Treat us like shit, and you'll get tipped equivalently. (I've tipped 5% before for really crappy service. I don't like doing that, though.)

So even when someone treats you like shit (your words) you still give them more than you owe? Why?

I'm not the person you were responding to, but my reasoning is that I still get paid even on days when I phone it in and do poorly at my job. Why should I in turn get to deny pay to others, as long as they did the bare minimum?

I think the bar for someone to not get paid for working should be really fucking high.

If you tip nothing, they might think you forgot.

Because getting paid $2.15/hr is garbage
