[quote=Anonymous]OP here, back again!  I randomly thought of this thread today and saw that it'd just been bumped yesterday so I'll keep my streak going of answering everything.

[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, what % of people tip now?[/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]OP, did you see the thread that was started a few days ago about tipping Uber drivers?[/quote]

Tipping your uberX driver a dollar or two is always much appreciated, but don't feel like you have to do it.  About 5% of riders tip, and it's almost always an older person (50+) who's doing it.  I'm paid fairly enough, but this might not always be the case for other uberX drivers.  I brought this up on the original go-round, but uber still has an army of drivers still out there that they've hooked on a lease deal which leaves them with no option but to drive an insane amount of hours every week (60-80) just to make the lease payment and have enough to live on.  In all honesty, a couple cash dollars isn't going to make a single bit of difference for these drivers' situations anyways.

Uber is a great gig if you're good at it, but it makes for a terrible full-time job because there aren't enough high-profit hours available to drive in any given week.  And those high-profit hours are always going to be early in the morning before traffic gets bad, late evenings during the week, or the weekend.  Driving uberX definitely the anti-9to5 job.[/quote]
