I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be sarcasm, but if not you were encouraging his bad behaviour.
Gig work is tipped work. If they don't tip, the driver worked for free.
The gig company "pays" the drivers a pittance, but it largely just covers a portion of the owner-operator's expenses. 100% of the net profit comes from tips.
There are a handful of municipalities with unique laws which do not fit this model; but outside of those areas, that is straight up how it works.
Now, should the driver be reckless? No, that should be reported. But stiffing them won't change anything.
Fuck America and their tip culture. It's pure cancer and it's spreading.
