Why? If you're not concerned about the driver's pay, you shouldn't be concerned that they might feel stiffed.

Because the tipping culture to me doesn't make sense? Not everyone is from NA, where it is mandatory to tip. I would rather pay more to Uber upfront and have them pay more to drivers than me paying extra on top.

Also, who says Uber drivers are getting stiffed? One of my really good friend does Uber full time in Toronto right now and takes home around $4.5k/month (before tax). He drives around 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Pretty optimistic of you to assume that "no option to tip" means "drivers are paid better up front."
