They pretty much like to act like we can’t see the offers given to us and difference between tier offers. Because of the quests I had gotten back into Diamond and orders were so-so for weeks. They started spamming me with bullshit late into the last couple quests this knocked me back down to Gold.

Offers were like night and day. I was getting far superior orders back in Gold. Slowly worked my way back up to Diamond again and first order was an “exclusive” 12 mile, $12 order and it was 95% either long distance, shit pay or both all night last night. Even quests were far superior in Gold.

Unless the market is consistently busy with great orders then Uber just treats us like the rubes the hardcore cherry pickers says tier chasers are and it’s hard to disagree lately. The amount of $1.50-$2 orders offered last night was just insulting and with every restaurant being slow as hell it sure didn’t help with it.

So, I picked up an order from shake shack and wasn’t much just a chicken sandwich and some fries and as soon as I picked it up, the customer canceled. Immediately after I get an order request for a nearby place so I picked it up and then dropped it off at a hotel and left the guy both bags of food with a message about the previous customer canceling.

I got a $10 extra tip on top of an $8 tip so that was pretty cool. I’m happy I did it because I only eat halal meat so wouldn’t have ate it anyways. Also, I’m new and in need of thumbs up lol.

Would you have done the same? Or what do u do when a customer canceled order and you don’t want the food?

definitely Burger King and McDonald’s…the Burger King in my area is so ghetto and hires any old crackhead off the street to work there. McDonald’s is so slow and the employees always ignore you, and most of the time items are missing from the bag. I can’t tell yall how many times customers called me talking about items are missing, I told them we can’t go in sealed bags and that yall need to take that up with the restaurant and uber eats. Also the Taco Bell in my area is SLOW ASF!! But I do get a lot of good tip orders from them especially late at night, so i haven’t blacklisted them lol. OH and wingstop, I almost forgot lol they’re legendary for being slow and sorry as hell.

I got an order for Taco Bell to an apartment complex, it was a big complex with like 50+ buildings and all the buildings had the same numbers for ex 100-107,200-207. Every single apartment. the customer just added the apt number to the notes and not the building number. I thought I was At the right door at first but it wasn't. I had to go back and fourth texting the customer trying to figure out where they're at. They were going off on me for not knowing. I asked for their building number and they said they DIDNT KNOW. it got to the point to where Uber cancelled the order their selves.

We all have plenty complaints. I was thinking maybe we can make a list of positive things to keep our spirits up when it comes to Ubereats.

Me first.

I'll take the easy one,

Work your own schedule and have freedom.

I finally decided to fiver Uber Eats a try and am glad I did. Just 6 deliveries that were less than 2 miles each. I started off slow just to get the feel of things, learn the app, read instructions, etc. All of them tipped very well and I didn’t have to speak to anyone. I hope every day is like this. I won’t quit my regular job but am glad to have this as a side hustle. Can’t wait to do this again.

​

Received an order today that was $9.41 for a 20 minute trip that was 3.5~ miles. Once I picked up the food and began driving I noticed that the GPS was taking me to another address that was over 4x the distance away.

I called support and after being on hold and talking to them for 15 minutes they said, deliver to the new address and we'll provide you an unknown compensation once it's complete.

I spend 10 minutes driving to the location and then notice the trip was cancelled and their details said "Delivery logistics failure" so I call support again.

New support says we don't know if the customer or support cancelled the trip, but there would be ZERO compensation and you can continue taking orders. It had taken an hour at this point from the acceptance of the order.

I've neve done it before but I asked to speak with a manager. They put me on hold for awhile and returned with "due to call volume the manager is busy", I told them I would wait and eventually they found one free. The manager reiterated there was no compensation. I complained further and they said they would credit the original offer amount. I complained further that they should provide whatever the total would have been for the address changd and they eventually gave in to a $15.00 courtesy adjustment.
