Welcome to my totally unscientific, yet highly entertaining Top 5 list of riders who couldn't tip their way out of a paper bag! As a seasoned Uber and Lyft driver, I've seen it all - from the tightwads to the downright Scrooges. But let's be real, folks, tipping your driver is like adding sprinkles to your ice cream - it just makes it better! So, without further ado, let's dive into the Top 5 riders who tipped the least, according to me, your favorite (and only) rideshare driver!
The List
5. Coming in at number five, we have groups of girls.
Ladies, I know you're all about girl power, but don't forget about tipping power! A little something extra for your driver will go a long way in making their day.
4. In fourth place, we have the young folks.
Adulting is like trying to juggle chainsaws while riding a unicycle - we get it. But a few bucks won't break the bank, and it's an excellent way to show your driver some love. Out on a date? Don't forget to show some appreciation to your ride-share driver with a generous tip! Not only will it demonstrate your class and generosity, but it will also show your date that you're a thoughtful and considerate person.
3. The third spot goes to errand runners.
Just because you're not headed to a fancy dinner or a night out on the town doesn't mean your driver's efforts should go unnoticed. A little tip will not only brighten your driver's day, but it will also ensure that they'll be there for you on all your future errand runs to the grocery store or dropping the kids off at daycare.
2. In second place, we have guest riders.
Even if someone else scheduled your ride, you can still be a hero by adding a tip for your driver. It's like being a secret Santa, but for your rideshare driver. And who doesn't love being a secret Santa?
1. And last, but certainly not least, we have other rideshare drivers.
Yes, you read that right. Fellow drivers, you know how hard this job is, so why not spread the love and leave a tip for your fellow driver? We're all in this together, folks.
Takeaways
At the end of the day, tipping is optional, and I understand that not everyone is in a position to leave a large tip.
However, it's important to remember that your driver is working hard to provide you with a safe and efficient ride, and a little bit of extra appreciation can go a long way. So next time you take an Uber or Lyft, consider leaving a few extra bucks for your driver. They'll appreciate it more than you know.
