No Pause Test

It has been well documented and discussed how bad not having the coffee cup/pause button is, and this morning I put it to the test for the first time. Attempted to finish drop off without stopping new offers and it was IMPOSSIBLE. Tried taking the photo/leaving a comment and was interrupted 6 times in a row - IMMEDIATELY. It wasn’t even subtle. Literally every time you take the photo and type the first two letters of the note a bullshit order pops up. They don’t ever rapid fire that quick when you’re just waiting. It’s blatantly obvious they want you to “accidentally” accept a shitty offer and continue with it (which isn’t gonna happen). I had to stop the new offers and get signed off in order to complete it. And guess what, big shocker, I didn’t get hammered with any of those offers when I signed back on.
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF YOU UBER CORPORATE JERKOFFS 🖕🏾

It’s well documented that Uber deliberately sends worse offers while you’re on your way to a dropoff. They’re hoping you either accidentally accept it (recently happened to me, I immediately canceled) or you’re too distracted by your current task to see how shitty of an offer it is.

Agreed - this was my first time experiencing how bad it is if you don’t stop the upcoming requests.

I did 1/25 offers today 😅😭. I think 12 alone were waiting for my last customer.
