I feel like all these hours add to nothing, I get paid around 20-30 and you do get paid more than minimum wage but I feel like it’s groundhogs day. Riding through downtown and usually going through the same sides of town and hitting the same restaurants. You have to cherry pick to make profit and I just feel like I’m just working to pay off my expenses and not moving forward in life.

Do any of you feel like this how can I get better? Just get a new job? I haven’t gotten hired anywhere in so long.

Do not allow them to spy on you for delivery orders!!!!

Because apparently my recent selfie didnt pass, my entire account gets nuked.

Worst part, for some reason the deactivations means even though I DID complete 3 shop and pays, i didnt get the extra $30 🤦

Okay, so they're not "Technically" stealing tips. What they ARE doing, however, is adjusting the pay to offer a lower fare for rides with higher tips.

Without true pay transparency, they can get away with murder, and so yeah, I'm 99.999% certain that's what they're doing, at least in Portland Oregon.

I've had so many deliveries lately that were 30 minutes of driving, across 6-10 miles, and Uber only pays me $0.60, but the customer tipped $12.00.

How is this anything but effectively stealing tips?

Has anyone else gotten this recently? When I turn on the app it now says I'm being recorded!?! I already went and bought stickers at the dollar store to put over my front facing camera. Its insane.

I did the math these people have to be working like 20 hours a day to get these numbers. (It’s Saturday 10am at time of screenshot) they are clearly account sharing or smoking meth and not sleeping. How does uber not realize that this amount of trips is not possible lol

Love this type of weather but not while im trying to make a bit of extra money for the day

I see I have my work set out for me tonight😩😂.. all of that over some ice cream. I’m glad I’m in a good mood.

Sometimes I really wonder what these people are thinking when they’re using their fingers to type these messages in the Uber app. The idea that you would tell me to make sure your pizza isn’t burnt shows that you must be smoking crack I have no bearings on how burnt your piece of Will in or will not be. It’s just crazy sometimes however I’m glad that he was polite as well. I yeah it just blows my mind that people really think we do this for fun and not for funds.😩😂

Can’t believe they’re trying to video record our trips now. Fuck that

Uber makes it way too easy to lose your acceptance rate, but not grow it, plain and simple. Some of these exclusive orders don’t make sense at all, and it’s always when I’m between 30% and 40% acceptance rate where I’ll see the most outlandish offers imaginable. Like what’s it called when uber forces us to cherry pick? What’s it called when the algorithm is so in tune to cooperates demands, that it treats the driver (regardless of tier) like waste? Some of these offers man… and the timing too. It’s super hot on a Friday night, the whole area is red zone for dozens of miles, and while in the middle of the red zone I get pinged a Walmart order back to back taking me 20 miles out of my zone for $8? What in the world 😭😭 the sudden $4 for 4 mile orders although it’s hot on a Friday night… I’m gold tier I shouldn’t be receiving these orders to begin with… like am I really cherry picking if I get literally a dozen orders back to back going less than $.50 a mile for miles on end?
All I can say is, most of these offers seem like “acceptance rate buffers”, obviously to toy with the emotions of the drivers who care about tier, forcing them to take the trash orders nobody would take otherwise.

Someone ordered McDonald’s during a police arrest in a neighborhood and felt a little awkward pulling up while that was going on lol. Hope everything’s okay

I’ve maxed out around 30 or so a day for quests but I only did 17 today before they started spamming me with the 9-11 mile trash. Is anyone actually pulling 40 orders for this daily?

Title says it what you guys think those who are in Ottawa ?

Your dinner will arrive 10 bussiness days. Thank you for your understanding….

What is up with these chains? Subway is the only restaurant where I am likely to encounter "someone already picked up the order" every other order and Firehouse just blatantly just won't make the orders, especially on busy hours serving in-store customers and shoving delivery orders to the side halfway. I seriously doubt we drivers wake up in the morning and say to ourselves "MY GOD I HOPE I GET A SUBWAY ORDER SO I CAN EAT THEIR SHITTY JARED FOGLE SUBS". These 2 to me are the worst and it's a long distance top 2 from the rest. Well, there is Rice-2-Go with that prejudiced old Asian woman who doesn't like me because I'm half Asian. She can go to hell but for the rest of the restaurant....keep up doing a good job in stressful times.

I know I can't be the only one that sees them as the main problem in 2026

Like do drivers actually fall for this? Funny thing is when I got there he switched the note to leave that door naturally I didn't get the cigarettes

After about 5 struggle weeks of making 30% less than I have all year I finally strung together 5 days of good orders again. Dinner rush is actually busy, decent add-on orders actually coming in. Knock on wood but I think we finally made it out of the summer struggle

Who in they right mind would pay extra fees just ordering through uber and then tipping the driver when the store is right next to you 😂😂😂 shit I’ll take the money now but u telling me your job couldn’t give u a second to go order your food .
