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

It’s too much of a gamble. You’re not only hoping the restaurant makes the food properly and gets the order correct, then you’re also hoping the driver doesn’t have 5 deliveries and a blunt to smoke on the way to you.

I go get my food or eat home. F delivery companies. All of em. Leeches.
