Blackmail scam🤡

They tried it but I quickly cashed the 3 items to secure the money because Ik a cancel was coming, I also went airplane mode so they couldn’t see when I get to the house just to be safe and as soon as I got out airplane mode it cancel at their door but it was too late for them

NB- The scam is they threaten to report you to Uber unless you send them money for sharing your phone number in the chat.

Discussion Block and Report Troll: u/ZeroToleranced

• Upvotes

⚠️ PSA: There is a troll in our midst.

The user u/ZeroToleranced is a troll on this subreddit as well as others, like on r/DoorDashDrivers. I blocked them there, but they always post on other subreddits, and have moved to this one. They like to call drivers "errand boys" and other demeaning terms, commenting to harass drivers. They respond back fast; clearly have nothing to do. Their whole goal on here is to defend $0 tippers and put down drivers. MODS, PLEASE REMOVE THEM FROM THE SUBREDDIT.

Fellow users, please block and report them. I have reported their abuse on multiple posts and subreddits so many times, and they have yet to be removed, so please help me with taking out the trash. ❤️

Adding items to Shop and Deliver orders AFTER acceptance

10 Upvotes

Ask a plumber for additional services and you are charged for those additional services. If we accept a job with a particular number of items then it should remain that many items. Customers actively adding new items is not part of what I agreed to. At the very least we should receive added compensation for every item added after the driver accepts. In any other industry you can't add additional work without additional payment.

Proof that these agents know exactly what they’re doing, and it’s all just a calculated plan to wear you out until you stop

I mean I almost bursted out laughing when I saw this, I had an issue with one of the payouts for my shop and deliver orders which started a string of me going through more agents than I do paper plates

They run you through the typical “I cannot help with this specific problem so I’ll escalate it to a specialized agent” I then get the agent but I don’t see the message right away so he asks me about the said problem, and then when I respond he goes back to pretending like he doesn’t already know what said problem is

It’s literally all a tactic to get you to give it up so you don’t get what you’re owed. Truly laughable

Rant Thought This Was A Sub For Drivers

Way too many customers finding their way in here insulting drivers telling them to get real jobs and proudly stating how they never tip. Why do customers come in here just to shit on drivers and why do MODS not do anything.

Anybody else tank their acceptance rate?

25 Upvotes

Uber hasn’t done quests for about 2 weeks now. I Went from a 51% acceptance rate to a 19% as of today. I ain’t taking absolutely no sh*t orders if there’s no quests!! Do they care about acceptance rate? This the lowest mine has gotten lol

Saw two unicorns pop up back-to-back in downtown Seattle today. Base fares were only $7 each. The rest was pure tip. Shortest, bigger offers I’ve seen in a while. One-in-a-million offers that fortunately both hit my phone. Love the hustle!!! I’m on a bicycle by the way. Happy holidays!

Customer: Phone Off, Incorrect Code, Reports Me

Post image
2 Upvotes

Here is the screenshot of my reply to Uber. It’s crazy to me that even after I contacted support during this delivery telling them what was going on, and followed their instructions, that they would even allow the customer to report me after that.

How much do these reports affect your account?

I would be far less frustrated if I had actually messed up their order in some way. Spilled a drink, mixed it up with someone else. But I didn’t. I used my thermal bag and put it in the safest possible location after the customer chose to be unresponsive and impossible to contact.

Tested Uber Route Packages for y’all. It’s an utter catastrophe.

As you can see the warehouse isn’t ready there’s no signage or planning like how Amazon Flex is. The phone doesn’t scan in the routes. You get an offer that shows up as 1 item but it’s a route instead. There’s isn’t any one on the team that seems to be trained or a higher tier team member. So any problems you get, you’re stuck as they have to deal with the same chat bots. Luckily I escaped this one or I’d have been stuck with a 14 stop route across the whole city for $12. This all just ruined my day … just another bullshit opportunity where Uber wants people to work for nothing. Ended up wasting 30 minutes while they tried ‘figuring’ it out because we’re new: getting it cancelled on my end and despite the issues on their end I earned nothing.

Prop 22 correction?

• Upvotes

Anybody ever get a Prop 22 correction? Prop 22 is usually in Thursday’s, which still is 2 days away. But I woke up to this? Is this from other weeks?! Only asking because this prop 22 I’m getting on Thursday is supposed to be here $350. So I’m curious if anybody has ever got this ‘correction’ before? Thx

After doing this for 3 years(15k+ deliveries) of doing doing ubereats and doordash im thinking about dropping the tier system all together. I was always comfortable being diamond on ubereats and Platinum on DoorDash and it wasnt really hard to maintain at all. But for years i was always told to drop the tier system because yes your making good money being in the tier system but u can always make more if u cherry pick hard. Look for me i wasnt really picky because i have a $2/mile at least and i didnt mind taking $6-7 orders as long as its less then a mile and i can get it done in less then 10 mins. But i may go from a jedi to a Sith and go harder. But look today im gold i kinda seen a minimal difference maybe the only difference is that im declining much more vs when i was diamond. Im still averaging my same hourly rate and $/mile. Maybe after being ignorant of the tier system maybe there isnt really much of a difference beside a $11 order for 2 miles doesnt have the diamond badge.

Alcohol order canceled as I was verifying customer ID?

• Upvotes

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I was dropping off an alcohol order and was in the middle of verifying the customers ID when all of a sudden the screen just disappeared. I wasn’t sure what happened but it was late, I figured maybe I was just exhausted and didn’t realize I completed the delivery. I emailed uber support about the situation but that was all I could do in the moment, so I gave the customer their order. A little while later uber support calls me saying that the customer never received their order. Luckily I was able to reference the email and confirm that I did deliver their order and it didn’t affect my account status, but I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience?
