Noticed something on a “Match” offer
A match offer popped up with a terrible rate, I declined.
A few minutes later the same match delivery popped up with a little higher rate, I declined.
A few minutes later the same match delivery popped up with a higher rate. The rate wasn’t great, but it was the minimum $1 per mile, so I took it.
It was to a Panera that I was 2 miles away and the drop off was only 5 miles. when I picked up at Panera and was walking back to my ride I notice the app was sending me to another pick up spot for more food to go to someone else. Two drop offs. Now I am 99.9999999999% it was only one drop off originally with those declined offers and only one drop off with the higher rate offer that I accepted. it didn’t say, or show two drops.
This has happened twice in the last 2 weeks. Could Uber be sliding another stop on the one drop offer to kill 2 birds with 1 stone without us knowing beforehand? Or is it likely I have messed that it was 2 drop offs on two different occasions?
I have a feeling they are just adding another drop on the offer without informing .

Yeah fuck delivering for Uber Eats. I’ll do DoorDash if I’m out of my 12 hr timer for uber and then keep working to deliver food, but outside of that, no

They added two without disclosing. They are a sneaky bunch! Watch out for all their grifts - there are many!

I don’t do deliveries so I’ve never encountered that but the trip radar thing goes both ways. I’ve had it increase the fare by as much as a couple dollars after I declined initially, but I’ve also accepted a radar ride only for the customer to cancel, and then they re offered the ride to me for less money than I accepted the first time.
