I will give a driver an unsolicited tip, but if they start asking, I will use another service. One of the beauties of Uber is that the fare is all-inclusive and very transparent, receipts are accurate. I have noticed that they are becoming lax about the quality of cars and drivers as more have signed on.
I travel all over the world and it is so nice to not have to add additional money to my bill for people doing their job, that is an American thing that I hate!
It is a shame that American employers don't pay their help enough that they need to be tipped to make minimum wage!
