News and notes from around the interweb:
- United will expand use of Connection Saver to all domestic hubs by the end of the month
- Boeing wants President Trump to make the Chinese buy their planes
- Young female drivers get the largest tips on Uber (some should have told this woman to drive for Uber instead of stealing from one).
- IHG Rewards Club is ending their free Kindle books benefit at the close of the year
- We’ll soon see some small business cards being issued Visa Infinite which means higher interchange rates to merchants.
- Southwest Airlines “The Jeffersons” flight attendant announcement:
“Young Female Uber Drivers Get the Biggest Tips”
Of course they do.
But what about the shafts?
I’ll take stats that surprise nobody for $400
This is super-sad. Uber should remove the ability to tip from its app; the same study shows that the vast majority don’t tip anyway, and those who do are sexist (and probably xenophobic — other studies proved they’re racist too).
So here is a case of discrimination, bigotry, bias and sexism where women are getting paid higher than men. Great. Let people make decisions according to their own interests, feelings and favorites instead of hounding them for having preferences. Everyone has a preference in everything. People want to pay female drivers more, good for them.
I have never understood why anyone tips Uber/Lyft. They’re taking I believe 80% of your fare. Why tack on an extra dollar or two.
The tipping expectations are crazy in the US.

Get over it, women cry about everything.
Hot female privilege. Shocking. Works for me.
