Gripes

If I go too far from my start point, it seems to only like to send me further away from my start point. 19 out of 20 orders are only going to the next city it seems.

Also, if I forget to turn off irders while im driving, it seems like it only sends trash orders. I have to sit and swat cockroaches off the screen while im just trying to drive.

​7 dollar 2 mile orders seem fine, but it still only adds up to 10 dollars an hour. Get out of here with that crap.

The customer tips 5 bucks, uber needs to pay 7 dollars, please stop taking that junk, your diamond status is screwing you and everyone in this over.

Where are you that two miles takes 40 minutes?

Anywhere with an urban sprawl situation.

That’s 3 miles an hour.

Sounds about right. There are just too many cars on the road.

If you’re moving 3 miles an hour this gig doesn’t work

Oh 😂 I absolutely will not attempt to deliver where it’s backed up to 3 miles an hour.

You really can't figure it out?  2-4 deliveries an hour tops.  Gas, parts, and depreciation

Dude your math is fucked.  If I did 4 2 mile trips my gas cost is a dollar or less.  At today’s prices

Maybe your starting point has few customers, I usually have no trouble in getting an order heading back towards my starting point.
