That said, they always appreciated it if I have some spare cash on me and did pay a tip but as I don’t really do cash anymore, this wasn’t often.

Unfortunately we just don’t have the page space for that as it’s a huge question! That’s why it is so ingrained in our culture to tip even when the service wasn’t that good. We all know that waiting staff, delivery drivers and other minimum wage service staff often depend on tips to pay the bills. How and how much am I supposed to tip an Uber Eats driver?’ This brings up a whole bunch of questions around the service industry and whether you are ‘supposed’ to tip at all.
