Is it only a matter of time before technology does that for another industry?

I have the exact opposite experience with Uber. You rate your driver and then the tip option comes up. Makes it very easy, and yes anonymous so they don't know exactly what you tipped. The ease of that transaction makes it easier to tip IMO and so I always do.
Their whole rating premise is based on a community of drivers of customers. You rate the drivers. They rate their customers.
