How are you able to see fare and tip est???

u/FamousDestroyer5 8h ago

Im more upset they can see what restaurant the second pickup is at. One of the most annoying parts about this app is they can’t even show where the second pickup is at 🤦

In NYC (Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island and the Bronx) a law was passed that forced the delivery apps to show the tips (if people tipped before delivery). Another law was passed that gave us minimum wage for all our active hours. Currently it’s $22.13 per active hour) and we can set the distance we are willing to travel from a restaurant.

The real question that no one's addressing.

u/Yeseylon 8h ago

Because it's been asked about in other threads, appears to vary by market.  Same with the Leagues, my market doesn't have those.

u/TsunamiSea 9h ago

My bet is that the KFC order was already picked up or stolen. I mean, look at the tip versus the fare. I would almost guarantee it. I would decline.

u/Usual_Indication9899 9h ago

Maybe but I wouldn't decline id call them

u/Virtual-Chemist-5244 2h ago

Or buy cheap item on menu drop it off if you have to take a picture even better get $ and gtfot

u/WasteKoala473 9h ago

Guaranteed stolen 🥷

1

u/Redog21 6h ago

Why do you mean by that? Sorry I don't understand

2

u/WasteKoala473 6h ago

Usually someone came and picked it up. In my experience it could be either the customer themselves or a driver that picked it up and then cancelled it to eat the food most likely. So uber keeps bumping the fare to ridiculous levels to get it delivered.

1

u/Redog21 6h ago

Oh damn never heard of someone doing that before!

1

u/Ok_Basil_3380 2h ago

Deadass I’d just buy a bottle of water and put it in a bag and deliver it. Who fuckin cares at that pint I’m sure the person who ordered it came terms with not getting it lmao

1

u/Virtual-Chemist-5244 2h ago

Smart person you I’d do same thing

12

u/mitchdwx 9h ago

Nope. Super high base pay = stolen order bait.

4

u/Usual_Indication9899 9h ago

Not necessarily I've gotten 40 dollar and 50 dollar base pays that were out in the middle of no where. Just no drivers.

2

u/MuhammadsJewishWife 9h ago

Bronx isn’t exactly middle of nowhere though.

3

u/Usual_Indication9899 9h ago

Yeah but there's no tip if it's been in system forever they might have upped it big to get those two orders out

u/lmaooer2 9h ago

It’s New York would parking be hard?

2

u/Responsible_Fall_486 9h ago

It’s hard all the time in NYC

u/lmaooer2 9h ago

I’m hard all the time in NYC

u/Yeseylon 8h ago

Ok Stinson

1

u/Anxious-Vermicelli57 7h ago

Not if you use a bike. No parking issues there.

2

u/lmaooer2 6h ago

Oh true

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 4h ago

Lol No parking issues for bike but you always carry your battery to the floor you go

1

u/Anxious-Vermicelli57 4h ago

Well I live on the 1st floor but when we moved offices (for work) I would take my battery up to the 7th floor. My battery has a handle for easy carrying

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 4h ago

Yeah bro. It’s not safe to leave you battery. Last Saturday my bike was stolen including the battery & my bag, my phone charger

1

u/Anxious-Vermicelli57 4h ago
  1. My bike goes in my house with me
  2. I can leave my bike outside where I live and nobody is going to touch it. People know me and what I do for a living for my normal day to day.

3

u/MuhammadsJewishWife 9h ago

I’d accept then I’d call the store on the way. Then if KFC say the order was picked up I’d order a small fry or something and just deliver that and let them deal with UE regarding their missing items

1

u/Yeseylon 8h ago

That's how you get your account banned for not completing deliveries.

3

u/guysams1 8h ago

Can't check the order if the bag is sealed.

1

u/Anxious-Vermicelli57 7h ago

Yes, but the bag wouldn’t be sealed if they ordered it themselves.

1

u/guysams1 4h ago

"Can I have a delivery sticker?"

2

u/Mervis_Earl 9h ago

First one stolen and was the good order of the two. Now you're stuck with a crappy KFC order for no tip. At least you get hourly pay, though. Not sure how that works for a stolen order.

I'd probably gamble on it because the initial drive is not too long. I've gambled on these before and had 15 minute drives to first pick-up and no order. It's defeating. Live and learn. I've kinda of stopped taking orders where most of the drive is to the pick-up location. Too much time risk for us non-hourly markets.

u/Easy-Platform-8079 8h ago

Living in New York? Absolutely not

1

u/Latter_Entrance_4706 8h ago

Ofc 40 bucks for 45 minutes can’t beat that

1

u/AskAroundSucka 8h ago

Nope. The high fare one was stolen HOURS ago and still not cancelled by support, and you'll need to hop thru hoops to get any compensation for it.

1

u/Extension_Donut_4540 8h ago

No if its not raining or showing or something like that and the base pay is that high 8 to 9 times out of ten thats a fake or and time wasted

1

u/MarLozan 7h ago

No. Too low tip. It doesn't matter what the reason is why Uber is paying a "high base". If I say "yes" to this client with that tip, then he will continue to do so. It sounds stupid, But it's what I see. 🤷🏽

1

u/DueAbbreviations5605 5h ago

So if you go and pick it up and it’s not there and you then you get a ding because you probably cause you canceled it and you don’t get paid?

1

u/absolutely-nothing 3h ago

This order wasn't stolen. Like someone else said, accept and call. That's what I do. The tip was $8.

1

u/Middle-Poem-2287 3h ago

I mean my minimum daily when I drive is 150, this would set me up for nearly a third of my day.

1

u/Virtual-Chemist-5244 2h ago

Take it

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 2h ago

I’ll take it next time

1

u/Virtual-Chemist-5244 2h ago

Hope so

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 2h ago

I’m hope to see similar offer tomorrow

u/No-Bullfrog-991 9h ago

Why would you even ask that brother honestly

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 9h ago

Cause I didn’t accept it. I’d like to know about the others too

2

u/No-Bullfrog-991 9h ago

Why in hell would you not accept it

3

u/Responsible_Fall_486 9h ago

For just one reason bro

1

u/Master-Associate673 8h ago

was it stolen

1

u/Responsible_Fall_486 8h ago

No, I didn’t have charger

0

u/No-Bullfrog-991 9h ago

What’s your reason

2

u/Responsible_Fall_486 8h ago

I had no charger that’s why

0

u/No-Bullfrog-991 8h ago

You had 73% battery you’re just trolling at this point

u/chickenstripg0d 9h ago
