On June 21st, I got an order for a pizza place, $18 and change for 9 miles (eh, that's alright) and it was a $700 order with 28 full items (bread sticks, pizzas, salads, etc). Biggest order I've had in years. I was already having a bad day, so when I delivered, I meant to ask "is there a cash tip?" because $16 is only like a 2% tip. I legitimately never ask that sort of thing and this was the exception. I was a bit more of a jerk than I meant to be, and when I told the recipient (and party) what I was getting, they were getting mad at me and at Uber, and wanted to call Uber to sort it out because the main guy says he tipped $30, let alone the other people on the order who tipped. Of course it was "delayed earnings" and I already had another offer to get to. So I've been watching it on the app since, and I just got paid out. $2. That's it. I'm going to give Uber a call later, but I needed to get this out and if anyone has any strategies on getting my fair pay from this, I'd appreciate it.

Does anyone else send this type of heads up messages? Less than half of the customers even respond, but when I have been that no other drivers let them know about this kind of thing.

But can you believe someone out there would complain and say its trash.. SMH

Words cannot describe how disgusting and unacceptable this is. My acceptance rate has dropped to 2% today and will probably be at 1% by end of day. Look at the time in the top corner to see just how frequently I’m getting this same offer. And look at how at some point I get it offered to me again at a penny less instead of more.

I have been repeatedly screenshotting this particular order, but have been offered other orders multiple times as well so it’s been compounding. Yesterday I had posted about getting the same order multiple times until all of a sudden the trip value double or tripled and others said they experienced the same; today it looks like they tweaked the system to only up the offer by pennies until some poor dumb or desperate soul finally decides to take it.

The repeated pinging is annoying enough, but seeing the same order for an insulting amount of money over and over again makes me want to rage quit. Fuck this company for thinking they can do this to us and get away with it.

I’m curious to see if uber is actually giving people this 1000 dollars or if it’s just a ploy to make us work harder? lol has anyone ever did this and actually received a payout of 1000$?

They already have gps location....why the hell do they need Bluetooth as well?

the original screen recording was 1 minute and 42 seconds long so I cut it for times sake, but all of these orders were within 1 minute and 42 seconds.
Yesterday I Uber eats for 6 hours and I had never seen so many terrible orders. There were also great orders, but they go to parts I don’t want to go to in the city. The orders in my area are always constant, but I have never seen this many terrible order. Did anyone else experience this yesterday?

I literally live down the street and was going home in that direction.

Drugged out lady ordered a single seltzer water.

Pretty new to uber. Got a delivery that I was told I was the 7th driver to show up for. This has happened more than once and is getting really annoying.

Why do I get fucked by it tho?

Anyone?

Agony

Originally the shop and pay delivery order showed up as $19.09 - customer reduced the tip to $0.01

I communicated every step of the way with customer. Offered replacements for items out of stock, informed them on my etas, and I honestly can’t think of any reason why the customer would do this.

Thoughts?
