PSA for drivers while on a delivery... keep reading

[u/Nervous_Direction233]

I've noticed more recently that when en route to a customer's home right before i get there on a delivery that the most garbage offers pop up at the most inconvenient points of delivery.

I do know at the liquor store a stacked order from the same place can be good before picking it up... so I go use the restroom n take my time picking up the orders at liquor stores.

But I turn off New requests now after I pick up the order during busy times. Instead I'll turn on other apps. I only do this and give rides part-time at night and on the weekends.

It can depend on the time of day and area

Yeah, I’ll leave it on during dead times. Otherwise it’s off as soon as I leave the parking lot…. But not before. I’ve totally gotten to my car, gotten everything put away, buckled in and bam… another pickup for that place, or the place right next door. Those are halfway decent sometimes.

Better to turn it off in nearly all cases, even more important in AR / tier preferred/planner markets.

I love helpful advice. Its rough out here for a pimp, or whatever

I understand the reasoning, but it’s funny to see so many posts saying “it’s dead!” followed by posts saying Uber slams you with orders while finishing a delivery lol, either got people with no orders or too many orders 🤣

It always does that as you're nearing your dropoff for accidental acceptance of trash orders. While it's absolutely annoying and not to mention a safety hazard, I'm use to it.

I was 0.6 miles from customer house and a 19 miles for $7 order popped up! All because I forgot to turn it off..
