Overall Uber is awesome and I will take an Uber any day over a taxi if I can
Not too long ago a friend and I took a cab ride while downtown. It wasn't a long ride, maybe 5-8 minutes, but the entire time the cabbie bitched at us about people not tipping him. He finished his complaint with, "This isn't me telling you expect you to tip me, just talking." When we didn't tip him (mostly because the cab smelled like rotten cheese) he just scowled at us.
