Uber drivers may take a lot of heat, but in all fairness, their job isn't always a walk in the park. Case-in-point: A new study reveals only 40 percent of Uber passengers bother tipping their drivers.
In addition to exposing the deadbeat passengers, the study -- which was conducted by Stanford University and the University of California -- indicates men are more likely to tip than women. However, female drivers are more likely to get tipped than male drivers, according to the study. Only 1 percent of people who use Uber tip every time they ride, the study shows.
It should be noted that for several years, Uber officials refused to include a tipping option in their app, saying it would make the transaction process "too complicated." They eventually added the option.
