Uber Eats offering $7.40 for 2 deliveries and 39 km — how is this acceptable?
Saw this offer in Barrie tonight: 2 deliveries, 39.2 km, estimated 52 minutes — $7.40 including estimated tip.
I genuinely appreciate customers who tip their delivery drivers, but tipping shouldn’t be what makes an order financially worth doing.
Uber is a multi-billion-dollar company. How is $7.40 reasonable compensation for almost 40 km of driving, nearly an hour of someone’s time, plus fuel, maintenance, depreciation and the return drive?
At some point this stops looking like gig work and starts looking like a company expecting drivers to subsidize its delivery service with their own vehicles.
I obviously declined it, but offers like this are getting ridiculous.
