The issue is that tipping culture in the US means that if tipping is accepted, the vast majority of customers will see it as necessary, leading drivers to see it as a usual part of the transaction, leading to customers who don&#x27;t want to tip being seen as in the wrong. It would probably work better in nearly every other country.<p>On the other hand, putting on my &quot;caring about people&quot; hat, if Uber can&#x27;t&#x2F;won&#x27;t pay a living wage for a day&#x27;s worth of work, and keeps cutting its prices which have a direct impact on people&#x27;s income, bring on the tipping.
