10-15% IF you went above and beyond or performed particularly well. It's a tip, I am not your employer. I used to be a huge tipper until I realized just how fucked that whole system is. Also, NEVER PRE-TIP. That is insane!

    What's pre-tipping? A tip before you've even had service?

    Its what you have to do these days if you want your uber to show up in a reasonable amount of time.

    Yup. Delivery services (like DoorDash or Domino's) and the like tend to do it. They also show your tip to the person. You end up getting service based on your tip instead of the other way around.

    I don't think 10-15% has been considered a reasonable tip for "above and beyond" since the 80s. Most will take that as an insult worse than not tipping, funnily enough.

    As for pre-tips, they (intentionally?) design the checkout process such that if there's a pre-tip, there is no post-tip. It's basically a "don't spit in my burger" fee.
