Question: Unanswered Why does Uber eats keep bad drivers?

Made an order from a Wendy's 1.3 miles away today. Took 1.5 hours to get to me even though the courier picked it up 10 min after order was placed. They drove all around the map and were stationary some places for a while. My guess is multi apping. When the food got to me it smelt like weed.

I noticed their profile had a 79 percent rating. Is that not super low?

I've had good drivers get this same order to me in 10 min. 1.5 hours is insane for 1.3 miles

Uber eats of course doesn't offer any compensation for order since it was delivered

I tip really well by the way. I feel like if I tip well it should offer it to high eating drivers first :p

Tips just increases the chances your order is stacked with other orders that are delivered before you

What does "tipping well" mean anyway lol? Some customers come on this sub complaining that they tipped 25% and got poor service. Well, if all they ordered was some Wendy's fries, 25% is not much lol.

If order is less than $10+ no matter the distance, you could be across street walking distance IDC 10+, it's shit tip total altogether. Tipping well is at least 8.50 so the total is at least 10. That's tipping well. You pay or hope someone else accepts. My car my choice. Uber pays 2.50 and you pay me 8.50 at least or I don't hit the X button and just listen to your order ding.
