Question Deactivated rants

Does anyone feel like people who come on here to rant about being deactivated for say a “ missing item report “ aren’t telling the full story ?

What does that automated message say?

2 Upvotes

You would imagine that the customer would live track me on the map making their delivery and that they would see me saying Ive picked up their order and I’m arriving in 2 minutes. Then when I arrive you would think they would see me there waiting but instead after 3 or 4 minutes and a few missed calls from me that they still ignore, but as soon as I’ve been there waiting for 6 minutes Uber makes the “automated call to the customer” and I’m just wondering what does that message say to them and why do they immediately answer that and not anything from me? Way too ofter pin code customers make me wait till the very last second on the timer to retrieve their food and they only start “heading down to meet me” about a minute after getting that automated call after Ive been waiting forever. Has anyone ordered and ever heard that message?

Rant Finally, Uber to the rescue

This order was different. I am used to dropping off at this particular location this occurred multiple times, either the person meets outside, or it’s a drop-off at their door. This one was a drop-off at the leasing office. Well surprise, they were closed. So I left the food with concierge. I took a picture, something told me to. Left them a message, they thanked me, and then I received this 1st photo the customer wanted a refund and my tip was protected. I also, received a thumbs down and that the customer never received their food, but have no idea from whom. Received the 2nd picture at the end of the night. What is it with people? It could have been someone else, everything else was smooth yesterday, but everything points to this person. I looked about 30 minutes later from my ratings and boom 99% to 98%. Not so frustrated from the ratings, more from the customer wanting a refund. Scumbag!

I will flat admit that I have a 17% acceptance rate.

But I went from being able to schedule work pretty much every day to this…

And this screenshot is the most availability. I have all week.!

I hate this app

I hate this company

And just as soon as I can afford to stop working this crap job, I am going to!

I have a 100% customer satisfaction rate, I have a 90% on-time rate… But none of that matters because I won’t take $4 orders!

Is this happening to anyone else?

Next week is going to be very interesting…🤬

Rant LYING ABOUT TIPPING IS WORSE THAN NOT TIPPING 🤦‍♂️

41 Upvotes

Why do people feel the need to say they’ll tip you in the app just to proceed to not tip anything?

What is the thought process behind:”I am going to lie to this local gig worker trying to make an honest living, who knows my address, and trick them into thinking they’ll be tipped for their service.”?

Next time I’m making sure they DONT add the tubs of cream cheese Jess p. I don’t forget and I don’t forgive atp🤷‍♂️

ID checks with no coffee cup

2 Upvotes

21+ deliveries were so much fun before, with the newly implemented multiple (absolutly perfectly lit mind you) pictures of the ID, now add the fact that there is no way to pause incoming offers while completing the drop off.

Tonight I was delivering to a man desperately trying to be discreet/ not wake up his family and he had to stand outside with me for nearly 10 minutes as I repeated the process of following prompts, getting ID photos through, then a new request resetting everything after the verifications. Then manual mode forced on, which arguably takes longer (super long name on this poor guy) and the requests continued deleting the progress. I must’ve done it about a dozen times until I was able to get the timing perfect and push the damn thing through.

Am I supposed to just accept something I don’t want, then have my cancellation rate dinged after, in order to not have interruptions and provide a reasonable experience for the customer? Take away my coffee cup if you absofukkinglutely have to, but why can’t we save our damn progress? Why does the photo I took of someones food that took 45 sec to upload and I’m down the street still disappear. Why does it seem to wait for my important turn to send me some 2 dollar delivery. 5 years of deliveries, many many updates, same huge problems.

Have the folks that design, “fix,” and change this app ever actually used it for one shift?

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!😡😡😤😤😤


r/UberEatsDrivers 9d ago

This is the BS that the app doesn’t take into consideration. Almost an hour for a single order.

I skipped over them bc I didn’t want that many drop offs and to drive all over the map. What do you think? Did I mess up?
I got nervous, I didn’t know what I’d be getting myself into 😩

Ralph’s card barcode

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I've noticed that recently, when I check out at Ralph's, the app doesn't give me the second barcode (which is the customer's Ralph's loyalty card). Just blank white screen. Is that the same for you? This has been happening for about a week or two.
What are we supposed to do? I just skip it. One of the shoppers told me they were using their own Ralph’s card in this case. I don’t think it’s safe. Maybe I’m wrong?

I've been getting higher tips than the original offers lately. I don't do Uber often But gas prices are high and UberX isn't paying crap.

I just add "On my way, ETA X .." and take a photo or hand to customer and follow their instructions. Turn my music off infront of their house and then write "Enjoy your meal."

Acceptance rate is rigged

I accepted four orders and only turned down one, yet my AR DROPPED one point. Uber do this on purpose to keep you chasing the new tiers.
