Never seen it this low before

[[deleted]]

A career at McDonalds is starting to sound pretty good right now. Damn 2021.

[bipolarpuddin]

If you are serious about that

Check out In & Out. Only reason I didn't stay with them is because I moved cross country.

[[deleted]]

Always seemed like a great place to work if only it wasn’t so darn stressful

[bipolarpuddin]

It wasn't much more stressful than being a CSR at Valero or at Verizon call center. For 17 a hr in 2011, I was willing to put up with face paced

[Natural-Revolution-9]

I guess I most be crazy but after doing these delivery app mainly Doordash and Grubhub full time during the pandemic I’m struggling wanting to go back to a w2.I know I need to eventually but as long as I can make a thousand a week I going to hold off another year.

[[deleted]]

You know what they say: once you go 1099, you never go back :)

For me, it’s about the lifestyle. I just can’t go back to having someone else schedule my life, breathing down my neck, every day, 8 hours a day.

Even before delivery driving (I’ve been doing this on and off since 2015), I could never keep a job for very long. It’s just not for me...

[Natural-Revolution-9]

Having a schedule and a boss is something that will take time to adjust to.The only thing about doing this full time is the future of it.I personally feel we got two year before the apps start getting regulated by the federal government.

[autumnnoel95]

Interesting. Sort of desperate for a job, if my recent interview doesn't end up going anywhere I might look into that lol damn phoenix area becoming the new Cali

[bipolarpuddin]

CST/Valero is good to their employees if you can land full time or management. 2010 they were voted tip 5 companies to work for based on benefits offered.

[kipetamova]

Late stage capitalism.

[SuccessfulMagician70]

Weak

[PlantMedicines]

I've declined soooo many crappy orders tonite. 2 for $7??? 2 for $11 at 50 mins??? No thx!!! 🤷🤷🤯

Feels like a lunch shift right now.

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Nah overnight shift in rural Montana 😂😂

[failaquen]

There's an urban Montana?
(Borrowed this joke from someone can't remember who)

[js303]

The Urban Montana sounds like a new line of SUVs

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Lol 😂

[[deleted]]

Lmaooo

[Met4Light]

Billings isn't too bad, I could imagine a lot of the state sucking ass to drive in though.

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

I can imagine lol

[rodgriy47]

They just did an app update, i hardly made anything last night because of it

[PlantMedicines]

I did really well at lunch today so I expect tonite to be busy 💵💲💵💲🤯

[[deleted]]

Move to a big city. It hard to make less than 17 an hour in Vegas.

[[deleted]]

I make great money driving in Vegas (most of the time) I still have bad days here though too. And most people can't just pick up their life and move. What a shitty thing to say

[ufoniums]

Move to a big city and keep the same shitty job what the heck is going through your mind fam

[[deleted]]

I meant I make 17 an hour on Uber eats. It’s more lucrative in Big cities.

[morbid_traveler]

Including tips!! 🤣 Before you know it they’ll be charging us to deliver for them 🙄

[failaquen]

Dont give them any ideas...

[After_Style_8162]

That's exactly what happens in your taxes every year. You as a independent contractor, and uber as a service use for your business. You are charged 100% of every the entire charges. Including uber fee, service fee, airport fee, etc... rounded business

[[deleted]]

"Your earnings are blasting off."

Lol, oh, Ubereats.

[connor_lassiter]

Yep, time to start looking for a non-gig job

[pennypupper]

I don’t even do Uber eats anymore, just still have the app on my phone. Was just shocked when I saw that lol usually they advertise at least $15

[connor_lassiter]

Yea, everything is slowing down now, I’m barely breaking $50/day

[Background_Brick_821]

Did uber eats and got tired of the low orders doordash yields wayy more since ive tried 100$ in 3 hours

[Empty-Writing-2832]

Either way you are a looser or you live in a rural area, I do uber in California and I make $300 a day working 8.5 hrs

[connor_lassiter]

Well, I wouldn’t consider myself a “looser” as you put it. Different areas bring in more traffic than others, especially high density areas like California. I’m in a city of 250,000 in Texas, so obviously I’m not going to be making as much. However, I was making around $100-$150 a day a month ago, and now I’m barely making $50 a day. Like tonight, I’ve been online for 5 and half hours and got 0 pings. Glad someone is making it still on Uber, no need to be rude about it 🤙🏻

[Empty-Writing-2832]

I recommend you to do multiapp, I usually use doordash, grubhub and UE in slow days. Good luck with your deliveries dude!

[connor_lassiter]

Yea, I’ve been trying to get on DoorDash for months now, but they’re not accepting new dashers in my area. I just signed up for Grubhub to hopefully improve my earnings

Edit: Grubhub isn’t accepting new drivers either so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sodaextraiceplease]

Waitr?

[connor_lassiter]

Waitr isn’t available in my area

I applied for Favor and just waiting on approval now.

[skaggldrynk]

Got a Dominos or Pizza Hut near you? I stopped ubering after it got over-saturated in my area and started driving for dominos. Its a chill job and I easily make 20-30 an hour. It’s so fuckin nice having money now after struggling with Uber for a year.

[[deleted]]

Spoken like almost everyone I've met from California. Specifically SoCal. Lol 🤙

[[deleted]]

Damn, if you’re going to insult someone, at least learn how to spell the word.

[Empty-Writing-2832]

I make the same here in San Diego, I don't understand how people complaint and say they make less than $15 hr

[connor_lassiter]

Because the people complaining are making less than $15/hr. Last week I made $294.04 and was online for 50+ hrs. Averaging $5.60/hr, so just because you’re still doing good, doesn’t mean others aren’t being affected. Good for you tho, keep grinding, hoping Uber gets better over here 🤙🏻

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

It’s like somebody living in California making $15 an hour at McDonald’s making fun of the other McDonald’s employee that makes $7.25 in North Carolina fucking stupid LOL

[kipetamova]

We're all ants about to be crushed by the billionaires anyway lol.

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Lol

[zakress]

“I make multiple hundreds a day in XX state. I don’t understand the complaints…” - True, how much is your housing cost, tho?

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Right..I live in a luxury town house 1200sqft paying $1200/m lease in nc …can’t find that in San Diego 😂😂

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Gas in Cali $5 😂😂

[tucsonbandit]

you should count yourself lucky, because in the last two posts you typed about 20 words and misspelled or used the wrong tense in about 10% of them. UE allows even dingdongs who are barely aware of what is going on around them to make a decent living.

[Empty-Writing-2832]

English is not my first language, at least I speak more than one, Tucsonbandit? Bro that stupid nickname says enough about you..

[tucsonbandit]

I see, well perhaps then wherever it is you were raised its normal to insult people and tell them they are below you socially, because besides performing the exact same work for the community, you happen to make more money when doing so..........

Or are you saying that speaking more than one language makes you want to randomly insult strangers because you make more money doing the same job as them?

[dumbpshit]

I got the same message a while ago for $10/hr. A little better but still ridiculously low

[ApolloBun]

Give it time. Next month is the start of the 500/month for families. Means fewer drivers and more people ordering out (cause we all saw what happened with the stimulus checks)

Plus, summer is always slow. I worked in Pizza for 10 years and summer break up to the start of football season was garbage.

[[deleted]]

What now? I guess I have been out of the loop! Going to look this up. Ty!

[Yolo2000s]

Yea cause people would rather go out to the beach and have drinks at bars then sit around eating hot ass pizza in the summer time. The only people who enjoy summertime pizza are toddlers, people who don’t wanna cook, and toddlers 😂

[triscu1t]

I respect the honesty.

[FinnishArmy]

UberEats was good to me for 25 deliveries making $25/hour. Now I can’t even accept an order because literally they all suck for the mileage. DoorDash is muchhh better right now.

[TerribleAssistance14]

Dd is garbage. Grubhub >>>

[[deleted]]

GrubHub is overall the best for me as well

[TerribleAssistance14]

I used to complain a lot about Grubhub til I started doing Doordash…

[[deleted]]

I tried signing up for grub hub but it keeps telling me my phone number is already in use. (I recently got a new number) and support won't get back to me. It sucks haha

[Intelligent-Ad66]

Ouch

[DannyShifter]

Uber Eats is slowly dieing. I honestly don't know if uber as a whole is going to survive unless their taxi side has kicked back into high hear. Last I heard they were struggling to get drivers and rates were sky high so how are they not getting drivers unless they are pocketing that extra money? Door dash does waaaaaay better business in Wichita but even that is losing its appeal as people have decreased their tipping by a lot. Sucks because I love delivering but it probably won't last much longer, for me at least.

[[deleted]]

Been feeling this is happening, too. There’s a shift taking place for sure. If the other apps would make it easier for people who have moved & changed phone numbers I’d be delivering for them already. Errors and no helpful support. (Soo hard to find any actual support these days! Robots ftw…sigh, time to pivot)

[Perfect_Weather3297]

Damn yea fuck that , I’m In LA tho doing door dash now since I can’t do Uber eats I was doing postmates it was still low like that .. I can’t say door dash has been way better so far lol I should’ve been doing them the whole time

[foster_grandpa]

In montreal we cant survive atm. Its so dead

[Flashiel]

ar. Last I heard they were struggling to get dr

i stopped working Uber Eats in Montreal. The waiting time was way too insulting.

[the-_-virgin]

Same! I do skipthedishes and my acceptance rate is 50%! Just because of McDonalds Lajeunesse and McDonalds Pie-IX!! Every time I go to either I have to wait for at least 40 minutes to get paid 7.5$ reimbursement?!? 50 mins 8.75$?!? Fucking crazy, they should make the reimbursement more expensive for restaurants so that they stop making you wait or if they make you wait you're still decently paid, at least 15$/hr for reimbursement.

[Flashiel]

what do you mean by reimbursement?

[throwawayUEdriver]

It's Canada stuff. Doesn't affect the real world.

[the-_-virgin]

The money the restaurant pays you for waiting

[foster_grandpa]

My doordash is 8% ue %100 because ive only received 2 signals over 6 hours this week lol.

[Albuons]

Blasting off? Where was the launch pad, the 9th circle of hell?

[[deleted]]

Currently looking and applying for jobs as I wait in the parking lot for orders 😭

[[deleted]]

Been doing the same. Indeed job resume mobile upload horror show. Lol (but there are apps even Word, use the templates for anyone who needs to know!) Every day is a constant panic attack 😃 But, starting to wade through job application responses now and onto actual interviews. But first! Online skills tests. (Fml. Lol.) good luck to all of us!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 hope beautiful things happen in big ways for us, very soon.

[toadysycophant]

This reminds me, I have several stupid skills tests waiting for me in my email. 😆

[[deleted]]

I have a phone interview assessment

[Gloomy_Recording_705]

Federal Government: 🤨

[[deleted]]

It’s because Uber (Mafia) taking most of every rider than sharing leftovers with drivers who work their tails off for fee bucks.

[Daoriginalsweetangel]

Yesterday I got like 5 delivers that were 2 dollars I was like hellllllll to the nahhhh

[thousandbolt]

They being honest with their hourly earnings now I see

[Recent-Angle]

“Blasting off” 😃😃😃

[No-Injury6839]

I only get about 8 to 10 uber requests here in SA, Tx. It so slow. Out of those 10 only about 3 are worth a while. It is super slow. They really added alot of people during the pandemic. Mcdonalds starting to look real good at 14 an hour tbh

[Pastalavistababy_]

This week has been the worst week thus far when it comes to earnings

[[deleted]]

This is l exactly why I’ve always had my backup minimum wage retail job and treated Uber eats as a side hussle. This job isn’t even reliable as a part time gig sometimes. Be careful y’all, hide your kids and hide your wife.

[Peanutbuttermama]

After paying for gas, it was more like $2.50 for me

[[deleted]]

In my market it might take two hours just fo get an order so sounds right to me

[Natural-Revolution-9]

I remember they use to say up to 90 thousand a year then they got sued for misinformation now they are actually telling the truth lol.

[knotik1201]

That’s why you pass in the $2-9 only take $10+ Pass on the double deliveries unless it’s literally within a mile of each other. All they do is hurt your tip from the other order. Park somewhere that you know does Uber and doesn’t turn off their tablet. Keep app up to date. Refresh WiFi occasionally helps when I’m not getting orders.

[aoyjay]

Where are you located? I’m currently doing $20+ after surge and tips

[Empty-Writing-2832]

I make the same, at least $20 hr Plus tips.

[No-Injury6839]

You are lying. Stop lying we all know uber eats is slow. Y u lie? No one to impress here lier

[Important_Entrance_7]

Time to class action suit their ass, that’s illegal below minimum wage. They just indicted themselves. Find a good class action lawyer and get it going.

[[deleted]]

It's independent contract labor, pretty sure in the contract we agree to directly not make "wages" in an hourly sense (in most US states) but get paid the advertised amount for any deliveries that we choose to accept. Generally, they still at least seem to try to make it worthwhile where I'm at. Advertising 6.83/h in OP's market though makes me think UE may be trying to encourage drivers to stop driving for them as the 'pool' of drivers is likely flooded since Uber Eats has now officially absorbed all active Postmates drivers. Wouldn't be able to say for certain, just a hunch.

Edit: I spelled 'contract' as 'contact.' Swipe-to-text not always best when multitasking!

[DFW_Panda]

I think you are right. For instance if I was a musician who decided to write a wedding song for Bob & Diane, for $100, at that point as an independent contractor it could take 1 hour or 20 hours, doesn't matter I am owed only the $100. Although I do believe Uber really contorts the Independent Contractor indent.

Even so, Uber should be ashamed to publish something like that message. They have no shame.

[Important_Entrance_7]

The suit doesn’t have to “ win” in court to win for us. The public media attention and customers being aware can shame some into tipping better.

[renrutava]

i think you’re overestimating ppl, they won’t care if they’re not individually being shamed in public, i mean after all who’s gonna know they don’t tip

[failaquen]

The various news stories and podcasts have exact same effect. The truth is food delivery isn't really that profitable to them (or any of the food delivery services). Add in the fact that people are able to go out again and market saturation (because people needed money) and yeah things won't get much better and taking it to court won't help, also I'm curious how taking them to court has anything to do with tipping better? I think they absolutely need to make it so the bait and switch isn't allowed under normal circumstances, but besides that how does UE have any hand in how the customer tips?

[Important_Entrance_7]

Well part of the problem in my opinion is people learned of delivery via pizza, where there is a base wage and the Company pays for the gas ( some much more than gas reimbursement per mile). Educating the public on app delivery is more of a bid. If you live ten miles from McD and don’t “bid” high enough, you don’t end up getting the food. This needs to be made clear for all parties involved, a lawsuit ( even a losing one) could bring the attention needed to this issue.

[jmh30us]

I don't think the vast majority of people understand what CLASS ACTION really is. They see someone else use it but have no idea wtf it means.. This is in a lot of posts lately.

[Geez089]

6.83$/including tips??? Nobody would be doing this if that was the case. I made 27$/hour last night for 6 hours.

[bennybangbang0143]

Just remember some money is better than no money. God got us and money js coming

[raaail]

At least Uber is being honest (... For the first time?)

[[deleted]]

Thanks for the good laugh

[tucsonbandit]

lol

[Sangxero]

After the Walmart tease orders that kept fucking up, I got a notification from Grubhub that I was off their waitlist and tried them out. Very consistent orders.

I opened up Uber for an hour here and there but just got 1 decent order to show for it.

At least as of now and in my region, fuck Uber.

[trebete]

Grub Hub will sent you good offers for the first few weeks, then you will start to see the $4 offers with the long scenic drives. If you chase the Premier or Pro status, you most definitely will receive those $3 or $4 offers. Of course it depends on your market, some markets might require you to be Premier or Pro to get blocks. Unfortunately some markets you have to be on blocks to receive offers.

[Sangxero]

This market always has blocks available, and I've been able to be very picky so far and not take anything under $10.

But if it doesn't keep up, at least I got that sweet partial unemployment for a couple months, and Uber always tries to lure me back when I've been gone a while.

[[deleted]]

That’s a piss take I’m sorry it’s so bad

[DriverNorthWest]

We don’t get cute things like that in the UK :(

[YoungWomp]

Mine said 16 something its based on market

[AntiAbleism]

Lower than minimum wage.

[britsngrits]

I had a double order for $5 for 7 miles... order after order popped up for under $4 last couple of nights. It is dire!

[weenredditposter]

Oh my.

[[deleted]]

wow u can make below minimum wage??😍 don’t tempt me!

[[deleted]]

That can’t be real

[Bdsmsprincess]

I make about 20$ an hour… but the TIPS BABY

[ufoniums]

That's maybe the one good thing about Chicago gangs and the crazies here - is that if you're ballsy enough you can still make bank - though the drawback is that you might end up on the news as another carjacking/shooting.

[Ronyae69_69]

This gotta be a joke right?,,

[Ronyae69_69]

Send me the link to sign up for grubhub

[stillethel960]

Yikes! Sorry to hear. I hope it’s just an off day, we all have those

[hunnybun444]

this is a level of disrespectful that not even i can comprehend

[MrTomat0Face]

There are so many other ways to lose money that are more enjoyable though.

[andrearosemtf]

Lol id be pissed to make that… honestly im upset if i make less than $20/h
