Maybe I'm just not hip to the whole Uber/Lyft thing, but the idea of being chauffeured around by somebody in a Hertz rental car doesn't sound at all appealing.

It does no such thing. Have you taken a Lyft? There's no obligation or even implication that you should tip.
He's using 'enforce' to mean there is a social obligation to tip, not that it is required by the app.
I know Uber has the dominate market share, but I really enjoy life. I notice that I get better, friendlier service from the drivers and I like having the option to tip. They have rolled out a lot of impressive features and programs recently. I hope, at the very least, their actions will pressure Uber into some similar moves
Having an option to tip enforces customers to tip, I would prefer using a service that does not force me to tip by providing that option. I am against tips in general for drivers.
but you are an ass.
EDIT: Keep downvoting HN. The Mr. Pink act on the backs of low wage workers really gives the tech/entrepreneurship crowd a good look.

I'm really glad that option is there. I had an emergency involving a seizing dog and a round trip to the vets office. The driver was incredible and would have gotten a whole $9 if I couldn't tip.
What would prevent you from just giving him some cash out of your physical wallet? In general you are getting a ride from someone. Other than the fact that with legacy taxis you tip, (just like at a restaurant) where it doesn't really relate to quality of service, I don't see how much extra someone can do that would make a ride tipworthy.

I 100% agree. This is entirely the reason why I use Caviar over other food ordering services, since they do not offer a means of tipping and even say 'there is no need to tip', as the cost/fees in part go to the driver/delivery person.

Why would you want the hassle? Or risk it being lost/stolen?
