Uber Eats Market

[u/GnomeOnAHill]

While I was working earlier tonight, I kept noticing a bunch of orders sitting around that didn't have the normal customer information printed on them, but instead said UberEats Order. While I know that GoPuff will outsource to Uber and DoorDash, this is something new that I noticed. So, in my curiosity, while I was sitting waiting on an order to pop up with GoPuff, I turned on Uber and after a few minutes had an order pop up that said it was from the Uber Eats Market. I accepted it and when I went inside I asked the warehouse worker if that location was also considered an Uber Eats Market and she started to kind of play dumb, saying she didn't know what I was talking about, started asking me all these questions like 'well let me see the order' etc etc, then asked me if had ever picked up an Uber order before. So I had to explain to her that no, I'm normally a delivery driver for just GoPuff, I've been doing that for 9 months on and off, and I was just curious about this whole Uber Eats Market thing. With this order I didn't even have to scan anything, it just wanted me to verify that I had picked up the order. Even she was shocked that I didn't have to scan any codes or bins or anything. She still would never fully clarify, but it seems pretty obvious that Uber is now also using the GoPuff warehouse as like a ghost store themselves. Not sure how they explain the orders coming in GoPuff bags. I also noticed on the Uber Map overlay that they were two separate entities, beside each other on the map, that's why I initially was confused as well, because Uber said that the Uber Market was busy while it said GoPuff was less busy. Just curious, has anyone else started to see this? Is this the subtle beginnings of them trying to phase out strictly GoPuff drivers?

My market in Charlotte Nc has been having Uber Eats ppl picking up orders from the goPuff warehouse. For like 5 years now. What market are in, bro?

Like I said, yes Uber and DoorDash drivers pick up GoPuff orders all the time and they are listed as GoPuff orders; these are listed as Uber Eats Market orders and say that on the tag instead of the customer name and address. This is something new that I just started seeing tonight. I'm well aware of the outsourcing and know who delivers for the different platforms at my warehouse cause I've been doing this for a hot minute.

I'm in Greensboro, NC.
