[quote=Anonymous]This Pandemic, like for many others, significantly affected my income this year. In order to supplement but still have flexibility, I started driving for Uber Eats and what a reality check on tips. 
UE was my primary food delivery app that I used before driving for them. I would order at least 2-4x a month and always tipped, around $3-$8, going by what I felt was fine and not by any sort of percentage suggestion by Uber. Well, UE drivers (and maybe other company drivers as well) are pretty much paid the way a server is in a way. The base pay is SO small that tips are extremely important and if a customer doesn't tip, it's almost always going to be a loss on the driver in regards to time, gas, etc. I've learned amounts really matter too. I now tip around $10 for a delivery that's less than 10 miles from me and usually $15-$20 or 20-25% of my total delivery cost of food, whichever is higher, if the restaurant is 10-15+ miles away. As a driver, I don't think I've ever had a request for picking up from a restaurant that was more than 15 miles away but I'm sure area is a factor as well.

I just wanted to post this to show what I see going from a customer to a driver now =)
