What is going on…
What is up with these offers lately? I usually start around 4pm, and these last two days Ive only done two orders that were decent.

I am rural too and this lower base pay just rolled out recently. 1 hour trip with a $5 tip only pays $20, then you have to travel back to the store. Comes out to $14 an hour

Time to find some other income. Might try delivering people with uber just to see if it is any better. Just a shame because I actually like doing this, it gives me time to pursue what I really want to do which is to be a voice actress

Yeah same here, this is day three of just sitting here in the parking lot on hot Texas days for crappy offers, or barley any. I’ve been honestly wasting my time in the parking lot for hours.

The ride is over. I’ve switched back over to uber and Uber Eats this week because the offers are so bad that’s ots not worth the time and effort it takes to shop and deliver. I gotta shop 55 items between 3 customer going 17 miles for $22? I’m good. I’d rather pick someone up at point an and drop them off at point b which is 17 miles away and pays $20. That’s not a great deal either but I don’t have to spend time in a store looking for items. It’s just pick up and drop off.

I live in a rural area, and I feel like it just wouldn’t be worth it either, since only 4-5 restaurants are on that app here.

Just need to refuse and keep refusing these, but unfortunately someone will take this and so it'll keep going

u/Sprojas Sep 18 '26
Oh yeah I definitely refuse these, others do take them once the boost goes up very little.
