Go to do a drop off…take the picture. Before I can upload…

*sends order for 20 miles and crap pay*

*declines*

*tries to take picture again*

*immediately sends another order*

FFS I guess I need to start turning orders off again on each pickup since they took my coffee cup away. I hope whoever thought this was a bright idea steps on a Lego or 5.

There are a handful of restaurants in my area that always have the food ready or occasionally make you wait 5 minutes at most. Even if they're insanely busy, the food is always ready to go quickly. It's impressive and makes our job function the way it's meant to.

LOL!!

Edit! This was only for 90 minutes!! lol

what even is the point of making me wait 8 minutes for a PIN, calling and texting the customer, if at the end of the countdown Uber has me leave the order anyway? I was really hoping there was going to be a free bite to eat at the end of that 8 minutes standing in the cold at 3am. Does Uber ever tell you to just keep the food? Is there a penalty if I just skip the PIN and countdown and deliver the order before the timer so I’m not wasting my life on the shitty customer?

for clarification: I’m referring to when you arrive to the correct location, knock on the door, message, call, etc and the customer refuses to engage with me in order to provide the PIN, so I have to wait out the timer before I’m allowed to leave.

Okay so i live in a relatively small university town. but uber eats / door dash is super popular on the campuses. so it’s available, i ordered from timhortons, not 1, but 2!!! people drove all the way there, was stationary for over 10 minutes, then cancelled?? now i’m waiting on this third guy. why does this happen? it’s not a large order. it’s two drinks two sandwiches. It’s not far, i’m a 7 min drive not even from the tim’s.

So I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but I have since not too long after I first started delivering. ( If you haven't noticed you might wanna go back and do an audit on your own stuff)

Most of the time you do not get all the quest incentives. Even if you earned them.

Let's say you did 5 trips for the 4 hours or 5 hours to get all 5 quest incentives. Some of those were batches too, and are supposed to still count. But you only got 3 incentives. Not 5.

Bring on the endless phone calls and messages in the app.

EXCUSES LIKE...

Your trips were not in the designated area for the quest.

You did not get them done in time to get the money for all the quest incentives...

So check your stuff people. They can't be trusted obviously.

My market was tough to squeeze out $160 today Sunday ain’t the greatest but damn. How was everyone else Sunday?

If you’re in an acceptance quest (x amount of $$$ guaranteed for x amount of trips in less than x amount rejects) Just close the app and wait a bit before reopening to avoid a reject! Share this with your fellow delivery person/driver. (iOS)
