That's honestly why I continue to use Uber despite all the negative press. They continue to hold the line against the excessive tipping culture in America and I want to support them for refusing to give in to pressure to add a tipping option to the app.

Any driver who aggressively solicits for tips automatically gets a low rating and a note from me.

"hold the line against the excessive tipping culture " you mean screwing over some poor minimum wage worker and the IRS (which when it comes down to it is you)

Uhhh, how exactly do you think that tipping is good for the IRS? Tips are far less likely to be reported as income than wages are.

Your comment makes absolutely no sense.

Let's be honest here. It's Uber's pricing that is screwing over that worker. It shouldn't be the rider's responsibility to right Uber's wrongs.
