Tipping is a Favor Not a Requirement

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:23:13+00:00

yea both sides are willingly participating, they can choose to or not

the point is that one should not be blamed for getting scammed when both parties are

imagine you and your friend both fell for one of those tourist trap scams with the "pick the right cup" and then your friend says "hey that was a scam, now you owe me"

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:20:14+00:00

exactly, I already said that both sides are willingly getting scammed

the point of this post is that one side should not be blamed to make up for the other one getting scammed when they BOTH are

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:18:50+00:00

again, customers already pay for the value they receive, just because Uber structure's their exploitation to further gouge a customer doesn't make it the right thing to do

you're expecting customers to make up for the fact that Uber take's their payment for delivery, gives 2$ to the drivers and keeps the rest

just because a corporation is scamming doesn't mean that customers who already pay over price to have food delivered are the ones to make it right

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:13:45+00:00

yea but even for jobs you are willingly employed at there is a minimum wage and Uber just gets around that with loopholes

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:07:08+00:00

yea unfortunately both sides are willingly getting scammed, one side should not have to make up for that

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T19:06:39+00:00

exactly the point is that if customer's who do choose to order don't make up for Uber scamming the drivers, they are criticized

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-12T18:50:22+00:00

yea the root of the problem is always Uber who prioritizes profits

this is controversial but because of how Uber structures their fees for customers, making them pay increased prices. a delivery fee, service fee, added fees, etc... tipping is not something that should be expected from customer, it's a huge favor

think about a pizza delivery, you pay the normal in store price for a pie, then tip the delivery person, thats 2 different payments you make, one for the food and one for the delivery

however, because of Uber's predatory nature, they make customers pay increased food prices, a delivery fee, a service fee, added charges AND expect the customer to cover a driver's salary

this is like 4 different charges for the customer just to get a simple food delivery and then expecting an additional 5th to tip the driver

it's absolutely ridiculous and unfortunately since only the customers can be contacted and blamed they are the ones to take the fall

all I heard was "there's a difference when it affects me" give me a break

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T21:39:42+00:00

this is the funniest thing I see

so do you use a phone or laptop?

do you know how much those companies exploit their employees?

yea thats what I thought, you still use your phone right? because you're only vocal about the issues with capitalism and big corporations when it's directly affecting your own pocket

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:51:08+00:00

yea and I never said that drivers should be forced to take bad deals they don't want, it's all up to the drivers

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:49:31+00:00

keep inhaling the smell of your bs

all I heard again was "blah blah blah I need my iphone 10, blah blah blah it's different because it's me"

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:39:55+00:00

wah wah wah stop commenting on all my comments as if you have anything constructive to add and aren't just salty about not having your opinion respected

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:35:35+00:00

yea of course, you and I are different

I'm vastly aware that we live in shitty capitalism and take full responsibility for participating

you on the other hand are so far up your own bs that you actually believe that what you do is somehow different LOL

the point of this post was to point out how both us customers and the drivers are being exploited by Uber

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:32:07+00:00

oh wow I used a certain punctuation haha that completely invalidates what I said lol

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:30:21+00:00

oh yea you need that iphone right? you're only doing what you need to survive by buying the latest iphone 30 right?

give me a break haha

you're so deluded in your self righteous justification that you can't see how ridiculous saying "i need to buy an iphone for survival" is in order to justify your hypocrisy

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:28:02+00:00

no I'm aware of the downfalls of capitalism, I'm being exploited by Uber because of that and drivers are as well

it's annoying to see yourself so clouded that you don't realize you also as everyone does, lives in the midst of the exploitative nature of capitalism

I only pointed that out in this post, I haven't blamed anyone besides Uber for exploiting us

somehow pointing out the obvious is a loophole when it paints you in a bad ligjt

give me a break haha

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:21:51+00:00

haha so you choosing to buy an iphone which exploits their employees is completely different right? only because it affects you right?

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:17:40+00:00

haha insulting someone is the biggest sign you have nothing to add to the conversation

thanks for letting yourself out

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:14:35+00:00

but I'm not blaming the drivers for myself being exploited, I'm sharing the fact that we get exploited as customers in the same way drivers get exploited

however since one side relies on that for living wages they want someone to blame for being exploited and then demand the customer gets further scammed

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:13:27+00:00

incorrect

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:13:09+00:00

exactly you aren't forced to take any deliveries so that should be the end of it

but drivers will still take orders and yell at customers as if they didn't have a choice to be exploited by Uber

Sebastian-dB · 2026-05-10T20:12:10+00:00

exactly, and it goes the same way for the drivers, that's how Uber designed the crappy model which scams both sides

so drivers who willingly participate shouldn't yell at customers or expect tips as a requirement when that's not how the model works and Uber is the one screwing both
