The only one being cheap here is uber, don't be thick.
I would love to live somewhere without tip culture, but I don't.
You're part of the culture. Just don't tip.
I live in a relatively low income area. The people who are turning to these delivery gigs to make ends meet are not the ones that I have an issue with.
In fact, if my tip was enough so that they could maybe stop work early that night, giving them time to spend with their loved ones, then I'd consider it a win.
Not gonna be a dick to those people. They didn't create this system.
But you are all perpetuating it. It sucks but it is a vicious cycle and you're in it.
