| Comment | Don't really feel it as a loss, tbh. Yeah, things are shite because of Covid and restrictions, but when things were old-normal, nah, the lack of tips didn't matter really.
The volume of work with Uber is (or was) a hell of a lot more than the local firms, so you hit your targets faster. Add weekend surges and you hit them even faster again. Plus, not having to pay a radio rental every week.
Uber allowed you either work like fuck and make very decent money or allow you make a bit less and enjoy a lot of flexibility and time to yourself. With the local firms you are literally working 3, sometimes 4, days of the week just to cover all the costs. With Uber you could cover the costs in 2 days. I was enjoying 3 days off every week and taking home the same wage that would have took 6 or even 7 days to make with Network.
So, yeah, tips didn't really matter with Uber. But, definitely feeling it now that demand is as low as it is during this pandemic. |
