Uber drivers can now ask for tips — and stiffing them could ruin your rating

Specifically, drivers can now post signs in their cars telling passengers that tips are not included in the fees they pay for rides through the app.

As many around the web have noted, tipping Uber drivers could become downright necessary if the practice takes off. Those who don't tip could suffer some serious damage to their own rider rating and find themselves unable to hail Uber drivers at all.

"Since Uber riders are rated by drivers, the drivers have a bit of leverage besides guilt," notes Time. "Leaving a bad tip or no tip at all could lead to a bad customer review — and down the road drivers could be inclined to pass on picking up riders who are known as bad tippers."
