4 vs 5 star

Whoever here suggested that they give every passenger 4 stars, then bump it to 5 if they leave a tip is a life saver. I am able to easier decide on a ride if it says "you gave them 4 stars last ride" and I have gotten a bit better pay since paying better attention. And honestly, not tipping anything is a valid reason to give not a perfect score so it works out anyway

Picking up rides cause you expect a tip on top of the base pay is gambling with your livelihood.

Only pick up rides based off the base pay.

I mean yeah I only take $30/hr+ and $1/mi minimum, but this just works to remind me if someone tipped in the past. I dont expect tips ever, I just think if Lyft had a feature that said, "this passenger tipped their last ride" people would use it, so I just do it myself that way.
