This guy was very helpful and informative, and there was a really bad accident on the other side of the highway he was going to have to deal with on the way back. I was going to tip ~60% but apparently I’m restricted to about ~30%.
It’s very unfair and corrupt that a corporation of Uber’s size can limit tips to the workers that are the entire reason they exist.
A cab ride cost you $400 before tipping???
The taxi ride I’m going to make today will probably cost that much. 20 miles, Germany. But my health insurance pays.
I think I would buy a bike, ride it there, and abandon it at my destination for that price!
I have a bike, but I can’t ride it because I’ve had an operation.
I imagine that might have something to do with why he’s taking a cab
It really didn’t occur to you that MX$ isn’t USD?
Yes. I don’t use Uber, so I did not know what MX$250.00 meant in that app.
It did not occur to me to refer to another country’s currency in terms of dollars, which is how that looks to me (MX$ = “MX Dollars”).
Also, thank you for correcting me, but you also come across as a bit rude.
$ was used for pesos before the U.S. existed. It evolved from an abbreviation of ps for Spanish peso.
TIL. Today’s lucky 10,000. Thanks!
There are a lot of countries that use a currency called “dollars”, Canada, Australia, NZ, Hong Kong, Singapore, Fiji, I’m sure there’s way more that I don’t know or remember.
It looks like it is in Mexican Pesos. 250 pesos is about 13.50 usd.
Ah. That makes more sense. Thank you!
