r/UberEatsDrivers

As a female driver 🏃‍♀️, I’m going to be real—there are days I sit in my car and just break down 😭

​People really don't see the reality behind the app.

Dealing with the brutal 100°F+ 🌞☀️ Phoenix summer heat is draining enough, but then you combine that with the constant stream of $2-$3 lowball offers, the heat exhaustion, and the toxic "anti-tipper" culture mocking us online. 💸💵

By the time I get home, I’m mentally and physically fried.

​But the worst part? The false accusations. Working so hard, handling the food with care, only to get a "missing order" report because a customer wanted a free meal? It’s heartbreaking. 💔💔

Getting a warning from Uber when you know you did everything right—it makes you question why you're even out here. It’s not just about the money; it’s about being treated with basic human respect.

​I have so much respect for the drivers who keep a tough exterior out there, but I know a lot of us are struggling behind the scenes. We’re all fighting invisible battles.

Please stay hydrated, take breaks when you need to, and remember to be kind to yourself and each other.

We are more than just a delivery icon on a map. 💙

I'm 21(M) and I'm from Canada 🇨🇦

This post is like a little journal thingy, of me recounting my experience working with Uber eats.

I've been doing Uber Eats food deliveries on my bike, and sometimes I do it early morning from 12 AM to 5 AM because that's the time when all the roads are empty and i have the most fun riding my bike! and also the people are still hungry, so I get delivery requests back-to-back.

But whenever I greet the merchants/restaurant workers or the customers during this hour, they see me on my bike and look at me with such a proud look in their eyes.

It feels like they probably see me as the underdog kid working hard to make his way in life, and it's so visible on their face that they're rooting for me.

They also tip good and write good things about me in the reviews. I lowkey don't even do uber deliveries for the money, it is a plus point but I love doing uber deliveries because i love cruising through my city on my bike, and on top of that i get to interact with sych nice people! I love interacting with these people, and it's such an awesome job. I can practically feel these people bless me and wish for good things to happen to me. Or maybe I'm overthinking this lol, but sometimes people shake my hand or compliment me, and it really makes my day!

This one time I did a delivery to a hospital, and there was this old guy standing outside the hospital in his patient clothes. When he saw me park my bicycle and walk up to him, he was genuinely so amazed. He told me, "You guys really fascinate me, you probably have to pedal a long way to deliver food," and I told him how I really enjoy biking. He gave me a good tip after I completed the delivery, but I feel just like Spider-Man the way people treat me as a dekivery worker at night. They love me.

Got this message today. Hope yall having a better day.😆

Didnt get any email Or notice about this, I was doing UE daily from March till early July trying to pay off some medical bills while going through chemo, went back to my regular job the first week of July and it’s exhausting trying to do both so haven’t really been on UE. happened to open the app last night and saw the bonus there didnt believe it till I made 5 deliveries tonight and got the first $150 going to do the rest tomorrow, never seen a bonus this good has anyone else? I’m thinking it’s prolly to get me to come back to delivering and I would much rather do this than my regular job, if I didn’t need insurance due to this stupid Cancer, I be doing gig work without a doubt.

When did uber make it a thing where we have to reserve just to uber? Is it because a high volume of people are delivering?

I can never hut the 120 delivery goal for the extra pay. Funny thing is its only 197 dollars in my city for 120 deliveries.

We need this in the The Americas.

You obviously need the money more than me after ordering 5 pizzas,wings, bread sticks and 3 sodas. ..

They removed it for when you have something else to do at the moment when you were or were about to start a shift later, but if you passed your scheduled time, they would give out your shift randoms. The coffee break, if you had it activated, would prevent that, but now you just lose your day's shift.
