@JaneraTiciano@mstdn.animexx.de @amirbkhan@mastodon.social that is what the OP talekd about. If you as a customer are expected (by some heuristic) to pay a high tip, they lower the base pay to the driver to compensate for that and subsidize their own business. So if the determine you will pay e.g. 15$ in Tip, the driver gets a base pay of 2$ from fhem. If they determine you're broke, they give them 8$. That difference means, that the 15$ tip guy essentially pays 6$ indirectly to the company

@DJGummikuh@mastodon.social @amirbkhan@mastodon.social well. You know how they can't track cash? If I only ever tip in cash I'm the most stingy asshole to their algorithm. I never tip. Because they can't track my tip. I give my tip to the drivers in cash. Always. (also I'm actually in Europe in a country with strict minimal wage laws that can't be circumvented like that, but that's not what's important in this discussion.)
