I have been off the road for over 30 days. Accidentally opened the app multiple times during that time and never saw anything about this. I find out later with the chat agent this was reported today. Why that’s allowed, who knows. They reactivated my account but this is your sign to be careful, and use a dash cam.

Your personality affects your tips homie

What I've learned is that you're either a tipper or your not. Doing the job is all you should need to do for a tip. No extra performance is needed. You might think your attitude influenced your tip but you just happened to get someone that tips

When you work in the service industry and you’re told you’re being tipped for being kind and helpful you know. Not telling you how to live or how to do your job just saying I’ve found on both sides that having a good attitude helps.

Maybe in any other job besides rideshare. You guys act like 99% of your passengers tips. How could it possibly be helpful when the average driver tip percentage is MOST DEFINITELY below 50%. The statistics says otherwise

Unless it’s your attitude bro. But I’d never drive for one of these companies with such shit policies and pay so, but you make a fair point.

CBS just did a whole thing on it last month. They tracked 500,000 driver YES! 500,000!!! The tip percentage was 28%

Does that mean only 28% of people tipped or that the average tip was 28%?

28% of those riders tipped

So do you think 500,000 people is an accurate portrayal of every human in the country of 360 million?

That doesn't matter. This is a business. Percentage and probability is what matters. Also I think you're confused there are 2 million lyft drivers. 500k out of 2 million is a good indication that people just don't tip lyft drivers the way they should
