AvantgardeAClue 08/14/18 9:50:28 AM #9:	Uber driver here. I'm typically indifferent on tips if you're just a point A to point B ride. I get it, not everyone is made of money But anything that requires me to go out of my way (food stop, extended waiting, helping with laundry/luggage) is not necessarily part of the agreement and therefore gratuities should be given. Even $2 adds up quickly. "Hurr but I gave 5" And you always should've, unless your driver was a complete ass. Stars just keep us on the platform, nothing more. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting.* <cite>AvantgardeAClue posted [p:906856783] in Why The Fu...

WaterLink 08/14/18 11:23:19 AM #35:	pojr posted... That is completely untrue. You can make a living off Uber and not have tips. I agree with this. I dont expect tips as a driver. I quit my job and just started driving more hours because I was making more by driving than my other job. Now I make more money than I ever have. Tips are just a little bonus. Nice to see, but I dont expect it. Some people are almost too generous, this one dude gave me a 20 dollar bill just for going to the gas station down the road and back to his house (fare was like $5 lol). I also do UberEats. I've gotten more free meals than I could have imagined from it as well. You wouldnt believe how many people order food to their gated apartment complex and don't answer the phone to let me in, or dont tell me which apartment number they're in. After 5 minutes of no answering our app let's us cancel the order, so we still get paid and keep the food.

What are you basing this off of And it really depends on where you live I'm in NJ so if you say that here you'll be quite the comedian The minimum fare we can receive is $3.75. If you only do 2 minimum fare rides an hour that's below minimum wage ($8.60 in NJ) This isn't my only job, but when I'm out there I'm working all the same Yeah, cost of living in BR is pretty low compared to other metro areas. But I also drive a lot of hours, but I make about $1k a week. If you're good at it, you know how to get long rides more frequently (I look up arrival times at the airport, those are usually $20-$25 a pop), then I know when the casinos are busy, when are where the bars are popping (usually get surges near closing time). If you ride around aimlessly, then yeah you wont be successful.

AvantgardeAClue 08/14/18 11:38:01 AM #37:	I've been driving for almost 3 years and even still, there's no guarantees in a place like Jersey. Airport rides can be lengthy affairs or just nearby drop-offs in Essex County. Too many fucking NYC attempts and those are typically huge wastes of time. Back in 2015-2016 it was easy to just drive around all day. Nowadays it can easily just be a wash. I heard one horror story of a guy taking 12 hours to make $84. That's why tips should always be in the equation. They account for less than 10% of my weekly earnings but they're always nicer to receive than an enthusiastic "5 stars!" comment. --- Sometimes I say things and I'm not voice acting. <cite>AvantgardeAClue posted [p:906861630] in Why The Fu...
