Living in a World of Convenience

But they don’t know if you will tip them. I think that’s one of the biggest issues with Uber exploiting drivers: for car service there was no tip originally, and even now that’s generally something that is optional and you add afterwards in the app, you don’t give cash to the driver. Whereas food delivery has traditionally come with the expectation of a meaningful cash tip for the driver on delivery. Because it is app-based, Uber makes it easy to stiff the driver.

So how much of that $19.22 was your tip?
