I&#x27;m not much of an Uber customer. Maybe five trips a year when I am in the city where Uber is big. So maybe people like me don&#x27;t matter. But:<p>Tipping would make the whole thing much worse. I would be much happier if they would raise their rates systemwide by whatever percentage is warranted, and pay appropriately.  If I wanted a bad experience, I would take a taxi.<p>If they go this route, among other things they are opening the door to be Ubered by the next Uber.
