why do you have to tip a taxi driver?
Comment on Everything old is new again.
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months agoYeah but it’s cheaper than a taxi, and the best part is that you don’t have to interact with a human, which means you don’t have to tip (if you book a self-driving car). Furthermore, if you practice good charging habits, you never have to worry about a dead phone.

Short answer: America.
Long Answer: Because American companies are so greedy that they won’t even pay a livable wage; they expect working class citizens to pick up the slack with tips in every industry they can get away with doing such a thing. All thanks to the policies of a long dead president from the 80s (Reagan), that were never rolled back. In other words: America.

*Only in locations that don’t apply Taxi requirements to Uber. Then Uber is worse in every case. They are a Taxi service that cheats their staff.

Then don’t use Uber. Like I said, self-driving cabs are best. No route fuckery to run up the meter, because they always take the most efficient path. I am aware that not every city has these yet, but that’ll change within a few years.
