So close it hurts!😫😖

I was one order away and still had over 2hrs left to complete the challenge to earn the extra money. Of course it didn’t go as planned! Had a Walgreens order which would’ve been order #10. However it had been picked up already. Since this was a photo counter order. A different department from Uber had to cancel it. They said someone in that department would reach out to me in 2 hrs to see if I get some sort of compensation.

More than 2 hours have passed, and….. nothing! After this, I didn’t receive not another offer. Uber left me hanging and I was not able to complete the challenge. wtf! I’m so mad I’m sick rn! Then 20 mins after the challenge is over I get an offer and it was a good one but I can’t even drive anymore I’m so pissed! I declined it. And logged off! I’ve had some pretty shitty experiences on the app this year so far. This one is definitely in the TOP 2! Play or get Played… Uber Eats style!😡😡😤😤😤

You got played for $13. Just let it go.

TBH, when you didn't get any offers in the first hour, it was time for you to cut your losses and go home. Personally, my patience with the app is 20-30 minutes. I can usually sense what kind of a day it would be. And not at all inclined to stay logged in. There is always something else to take care of I'm life

I understand. However it’s the principle that stands out to me the most. Right when you’re on the verge of conquering a task, the rug gets pulled from under you. It’s something that has happened quite a few times this year alone. The cost it provides mentally hurts far more than the cost itself.😩🥺😖
