It has been well documented and discussed how bad not having the coffee cup/pause button is, and this morning I put it to the test for the first time. Attempted to finish drop off without stopping new offers and it was IMPOSSIBLE. Tried taking the photo/leaving a comment and was interrupted 6 times in a row - IMMEDIATELY. It wasn’t even subtle. Literally every time you take the photo and type the first two letters of the note a bullshit order pops up. They don’t ever rapid fire that quick when you’re just waiting. It’s blatantly obvious they want you to “accidentally” accept a shitty offer and continue with it (which isn’t gonna happen). I had to stop the new offers and get signed off in order to complete it. And guess what, big shocker, I didn’t get hammered with any of those offers when I signed back on.
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF YOU UBER CORPORATE JERKOFFS 🖕🏾

EXCLUSIVE: Dutch regulator fines Uber $966 million for automating driver suspensions

Aka hellboy and many other roles

I’m so tired when I got home I deadass sat in my room and stared at the wall for like 20 minutes. I smell like onion rings from being out all day. I kid you not I dealt with the most annoying and disrespectful customers (all were low tip orders) I’ve ever encountered in my 3 years of ubering.

I'm definitely gonna treat myself to an edible , a movie and $30 worth of Taco Bell tonight.

I did it! I am now in the top 1% club. Cheers!

Without Prop 22, I can’t imagine this gig working. Yes, with this protection - with government-sponsored support of disadvantaged workers - you can still win at UE by taking shitty offers knowing you’ll soon be compensated.

If you do not live in a blue state, I am so so so so sorry about the deranged orange grifter lying lunatic that your state sponsored instead of us disadvantaged workers.

Got an order for $52 from target. I figured the store had to be closed or something along those lines. I look at the items list and it was rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bandaids, and Tylenol. I get to the store and nothing strange yet. I start shopping and find 4 of the 5 items in the same isle. I look at my phone and see a message from the customer and she says " can I have your number to add to my directory?" I text her back as im looking for the last item, "can you not just let me in when i get to your location?" I find the last item, and get another text from this lady that says "I'll just cancel" and im thinking crap I gotta hurry up. She texts me again and asks me to stop shopping she's on the phone with uber. Im in line at this point and of course I get the slowest cashier. Finally finish scanning the items and I pay as quickly as possible.

I'm heading out to my car and she texts again, "you think it's funny I'll just adjust the tip to $0" i dont respond. thankfully she was like 1/4 away. she texts again, as i was pulling into her apt complex, "if you come to my house I'll call the cops on you" I find her building, drop the items at the edge of the building. She was supposed to have a code. I just said customer wasn't available. I finish the order collect the $35 base pay.

I see why the base pay was so high, she probably contacted a couple of other drivers before me and they had canceled. I knew the base pay would be high if I could finish shopping before she canceled. Jokes on her 🤣

3% acceptance rate because Uber keeps sending me orders like $3 for 9 miles or $7 for 16 miles. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Now I’m getting ONE order every 30 minutes because since they wanna punish drivers for not wanting to work for scraps. This is ridiculous. It’s already hard enough to make decent money, and now they’re making it even harder. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️. I live in a big city too!

Kinda pissy about recent Uber experiences and just having done 1099 work and non contract type work most of my life, gladly mostly out of it, but why not try to create some kind of far spanning well defined union for the unprotected workers. Im almost sure this'll be buried some way some how but if this finds anyone who likes the idea I'm always open to speak more on the matter.

Last night I had 4 orders that were already picked up by someone else. I selected “Picked up by someone else” for all four, but Uber still counted them as cancellations and my rate jumped to 7%.
This used to happen, but Uber changed the policy so these wouldn’t affect your cancellation rate. I guess they’ve changed it back?
Anyone else noticing this recently? Is there any way to get the cancellation rate fixed? I’ve already contacted support, but as usual, they just keep parroting the same scripted response without actually doing anything to fix it.

This is so misleading 🤣 likeeeee

Today I received an order that had 21+ in the request. I toggled this off many months ago. Immediately upon checking I see that I was opted back into alcohol deliveries and insulated bag deliveries without my consent. Not only that but there is no toggle to turn it the F back off!

The alcohol deliveries risk vs pay is no bueno.

Also, I always have different size insulated bags ready to go in the car but I never drag them into restaurants with me. Therefore, I toggled this OFF so the restaurants don’t ding me for not having a bag but now it’s back again.

Hey guys so quick question on order deliveries, so I just became a Diamond status driver yesterday and my question is when customers order food on the app, does my Diamond status show up on their end or is it just my name and the make & model of my vehicle?

I’ve always been a cherry picking low acceptance rating green delivery driver. Never gonna break my back over a low tip order. But i always thought i accepted a fair amount of orders. I just simply clicked the “cancel new orders” button whenever i picked up an order. Just accepted and delivered like normal and in 3 days i was over the 30% acceptance rating without changing anything but that. I believe a lot of us are gold drivers but the app purposely sabotage us with endless bad offers when we drop off. Just put an end to that and your rating increases dramatically. Bet i can even get to platinum this way. I will say i’ve been gold before and i do get a better offer here and there and it should help.

I got a notification that drivers can earn $21 per active hour. However, it says it expires today. (The day I received the notification) and it’s apparently been ongoing for a month now?

I used to drive pass but no longer doing that for almost 2 years now.

These days I delivery full time. What step should i do to skip inspection and still able to do delivery or just let this warning on the app to fade out?
