This guy was very helpful and informative, and there was a really bad accident on the other side of the highway he was going to have to deal with on the way back. I was going to tip ~60% but apparently I'm restricted to about ~30%.

It's very unfair and corrupt that a corporation of Uber's size can limit tips to the workers that are the entire reason they exist.

It's very unfair and corrupt that a country of USA's size has an artificial culture of voluntarily paying people whatever because you can't just agree on an upfront price like rest of world.

Buddy, the screenshot is in Mexican Pesos. Why are you talking about the USA?

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml -3 points 7 hours ago

Buddy, I'll be you four pesos that whoever made that post and is using their phone in English and needing info from the driver is a visitor from north of the wall.

It's very annoying that people from the USA assume everyone else is. This coming from a USAian. The screenshot literally shows Mexican pesos

Figured I'd specify in this case since Mexico is also American, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Mexico is even technically a US of A, because they're the officially (when translated to English) the United Mexican States, and in America

To agree on an upfront cost, we'd likely have to acknowledge that a fair cost would be too expensive for the buyer and not high enough for the seller, because all our productivity is lining someone else's pockets. But we're all temporarily embarrassed billionaires so we grit our teeth and tip to keep up the impression that the status queue is okay.

Stop. Please stop. The only people who like tips are the ones who receive them.

It's a coming of age to all of us who did work for tips when we realize just how much more we made when that was the obligation.

I did not make as much money per hour as I made as a 16 year old until several years after people called me doctor.

As my European colleagues ask "why don't you do it like us?" We do. Constantly. Well we try, but all the good people leave because they can make more money elsewhere.

And yes. This "feature" is to prevent money laundering. Not tipping.

Other countries bothered to make actual laws to take it out of businesses hands. All this inflation and the value of human life is still at sweet fuck all in the states

So what you're saying is that wages are too low, got it.
