I wonder how many people at this company put in their quiting notice yesterday. His wish might be granted.

More evidence for my theory that the only reason Uber et al are able to exist is because they have an infinite supply of suckers signing up as drivers. Any McJob pays better now.

If this would come out for Bolt that my tip won't reach 100% to driver/delivery guy, I would quit using it. Lying to users about especially when they want to be generous is like fake beggars.

I do use some of these regularly when I'm in a pinch but I would never even think to tip in the app itself. If I don't trust a company to pay the drivers a wage, why would I trust them to give them my tip!

Edit : I always tip with cash on delivery.

Without evidence this is just fiction, I don’t trust some random Reddit post.

It’s a long way short of evidence, though. It might be right, but it might just be food for confirmation bias, too.
