【正文】 f taking an ordinary taxi, has bee more popular recently. However, benefits won‘t e without its fair share of drawbacks. Uber drivers are a part of the socalled sharing economy: They use their own vehicles, receive customer reviews via the app‘s fivestar rating system and make their own hours. Unlike other services, Uber claimed that drivers all over the country could clearly alert customers that tipping is not included. Those drivers that expect to be tipped can make their wishes known. But the pany is holding to its official notiprequired line, according to its website. ―Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file—There‘s no need to tip.‖ Although drivers value their independence—the freedom to push a button rather than punch a clock, lack of a clear policy, however, leaves Uber drivers in a vulnerable(脆弱的 ) position: If they ask a customer for a tip or put up a sign, that customer could give the driver a low starrating, and the driver could finally be deactivated from the app. But has the pany done a good job working with customers? Some observers say that this new grey area for tipping will create awkwardness about whether they should tip or not—something most Uber customers have not had to deal with until now. Uber did not respond to customers‘ ment, just leaving their rating in the air. Providing an option to tip on an app sends a clear message to customers to reach into their pockets. Nearly 30% people would be more likely to leave a tip if they were presented with a ―no tip‖ button, according to Guinn‘s 2020 survey of roughly 500 people. When people are presented with three tip choices—20%, 25% or 30%—they‘re more likely to choose the middle option even if it‘s more than the traditional 20%, according to a separate 2020 analysis of 13 million New York City taxi rides. If the service is twice as expensive during a rain storm or public transport delay, the customer has the right not to tip. However, if the driver is extra helpful or avoids traffic to reach your destination in a more timely manner, you could give an extra tip, says Uber, who will leave tipping options in the hands of the consumer rather than the app. 32.
