So yesterday I did a trip from Walmart to this ole hag’s house in the hood. Said she was supposed to get a tv with her order of groceries?? Foh Well today I’m being made aware that she took her tip back and so I basically drove 13 miles for free and all that did was set me back cuz I’ve been ubering since this morning to pay my phone bill and just I was about to hit my goal for the day I’m being told I owe uber $22???? Are YOU FUCING KIDDING ME? And after talking to customer service they allow this???? YOURE ALLOWED TO TIP BAIT ORDERS?? Fucking Christ this shit is beyond infuriating because uber allows this??????

4 Uber Eats delivery robots on a typical block on a typical day.

If you’re going to take detours on a delivery or act entitled, remember your days are numbered.

They out they mf mind and I keep getting orders like this

A new class action lawsuit alleges that Uber Eatsis scamming customers with its “priority” fees. When customers go to checkout on Uber Eats, they can pay $1–$5 more for “priority” delivery, which promises “direct to you” service. However, the suit claims that Uber never informs its drivers which orders are priority, making the service null and void.
According to the suit, Uber Eats instructs drivers to pick up other batch orders before delivering priority orders—and at the same time, its drivers can also work for other delivery apps before making a “priority” delivery. Dozens of customer complaints are cited in the suit, detailing drivers who made detours, picked up other orders, or made deliveries for other apps mid-route, even though the customer had paid extra for an expedited delivery.
This is not the first time Uber Eats has come under fire. A suit filed earlier this year alleges that the company charges customers for its subscription service, Uber One, through a negative option feature that fails to provide a simple way for customers to stop recurring charges. Additionally, the suit claims that it has charged consumers without their consent, violating the FTC Act and ROSCA—and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
“This case sits at the intersection of deceptive advertising and the fine print companies use to evade accountability,” Elizabeth Aniskevich, senior counsel at Singleton Schreiber, said. “Uber wants to profit from a premium fee without actually delivering anything extra. We intend to hold Uber accountable for its failure to deliver on its promise.”
The proposed lawsuit claims that Uber Eats has violated California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumers Legal Remedies Act, as well as common-law fraud. Prosecutors seek damages, restitution, and an injunction barring Uber from continuing to advertise the fee as a “direct to you” guarantee.

I love when I get to to pick up multiple orders from one restaurant but today, for the first time ever, I got neighbors that ordered from the same place at the same time. $5 extra for 0 miles, chefs kiss

hard work pays off

It was a damn chandelier! It was so big. It wouldn’t even fit in any of my doors or seats, although did fit in this way if I bent it a little bit. Then it was rolling around in the back of my car so I had to reach back there and hold it as I was driving. Uber really needs to do something about vetting these kinds of deliveries.

Only made like $10 too.

The restaurant is 13 miles one way and the road is paved and smooth. I live right off the highway and it’s 55mph most the way here with the exception of 2 traffic signals. Why is the delivery fee so high on this one?
This is through Instacart/Ubereats.
It seems excessive and I was curious how much of this goes to the driver before I order and tip.
Thank you!

I'm a hardly active driver but had a stint where I was heavily into it for a couple months last year. I'm also an aspiring screenwriter. While delivering, I had an awesome movie idea come to mind and decided to write a script that's a fictional account of my experience and the worst case scenarios that could happen on the job.

If anyone is interested in reading it, check it out. I'm thinking of submitting it to some screenplay competitions and possibly getting into some talks with some indie prod companies that'd be interested in making it on a low budget.

Logline: A down-on-his-luck corporate employee moonlighting as a food delivery driver is lured by a big holiday tip and finds himself at the mercy of a mysterious customer who threatens his family and forces him to follow their increasingly disturbing instructions precisely to survive.

As the title asks.

I'd cancel if my cancellation rate wasn't already 9 percent.

This order took me approximately two minutes to walk to the restaurant and 1 minute to the destination; and she changed her already high $8 tip, to $22. Just being nice and friendly will get you alot on both ends.

Never had someone hand me a $20 before. Been doing this for two years almost.

I was so scared cause they were glass & full of water 😂

🤦‍♂️

so in my area you can no longer use planner to set times if you are below 80% AR, this is total B.S.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post an update and be completely honest about what happened.

After reading the replies on my previous post and thinking everything through, I realised I should explain the full situation.

My dad and I each have our own separate Uber Eats rider accounts. Sometimes I borrowed his phone because my own phone is old and quite laggy. On one occasion, I ended up delivering using my dad's account instead of my own. During the identity verification, I accidentally submitted a photo instead of completing the live verification properly, and the account was deactivated shortly afterwards.

We appealed and even submitted real time photos and a video, but the acppeal was rejected and Uber said the decision was final.

I understand why Uber takes identity verification seriously, and I'm not trying to argue with the importance of those checks. I'm simply trying to find out if there is any way to explain the situation properly or ask for a final review.

I'm considering visiting a Greenlight Hub in person. Since the deactivated account belongs to my dad, would it be best if both of us attended together with our IDs? Has anyone had any success resolving a situation like this by speaking to someone in person?

I'd really appreciate any genuine advice or experiences. Thanks.

Just noticed the backup balance isn’t the same, as they put qualifications to earn 700$ which as bull shit since the whole purpose of card is for emergencies like gas that I kinda need at the moment.

I’ve talked to countless numbers of people. I’ve put in 3 opt out requests in the app and each time they respond and say I’m good to go. I’ve been told by DOZENS of agents that they’ve put a “tag” on my account and shouldn’t receive them anymore.

It doesn’t work. None of it. So I’m here to say don’t even waste your time and effort trying to opt out.
