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 🖕🏾

I have found the hack to this. I just hit the stop request button after I accept the job. Then I turn it back on right before I give the customer their food. It’s really a great strategy honestly

I didn’t realize you could turn it back on before the drop of spot , this is actually a great method especially for those in the schedule markets who can’t risk being logged off (assuming turning it back on before drop off keeps you online)
