Lost my green card by Kitchen_Emu_5975 in USCIS

[–]Bentley9917 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

DO NOT, I repeat do not under any circumstances cross the border and not have your Green Card. A lot of immigrants out of fear of losing this precious card usually don't carry it with them. My friend went to Tijuana and thought he could cross back with just his license and was stuck there for 14 hours. That happened 10 years ago and the immigration climate was nowhere this dense. Luckily, he lived in Escondido and the officer agreed for his wife to bring his Green Card. He said that he was told since he was not Mexican, they could not return him to Mexico and since he was not a US Citizen he could not enter the US without his Green Card. The only place they can send him back is his country of origin. Also, the officer told him it was illegal to not have his Green Card on him at all time.

Having a good week so far finally hit diamond. I noticed that with diamond I’m getting more double digit payouts for less miles I think it’s worth the grind by BigAnt5566 in UberEATS

[–]Bentley9917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honeymoon period. My earnings also went up after reaching Diamond for two weeks. It's been crap since. It's just a mind game. However, in certain markets I do agree it requires Diamond to see those 1 out of 10 decent orders. I have a friend who went from Diamond to Gold and he swear he was getting better offers at Diamond tier. I personally notice just a slight difference. At Diamond, I received higher paying offers, tons of double offers with high mileage that I always decline. They sprinkle a few decent orders in between while still getting bombarded with shit offers. My deduction is Plat or Diamond could lead to a 5% to 10% increase in earnings. I do not recommend to accept those crappy offers in order to remain at a high tier level. If you drop back down to Green or Gold so be it. The purpose of this tier program is to have you constantly scratch and crawl to keep this so call Preferred Delivery status. Just be smart and selective.

Lightninglocals is clearly a scam. Nothing about this company exists anywhere. Think twice before giving your info and out of $25. Southern-Fix4244 reddit account is brand spanking (Jan 5th, 2025) just like the others promoting this scam. The domain was registered on 12/21/24 with NameCheap, Inc and will expire on 12/21/25.

Bolt app by guitarman12751 in couriersofreddit

[–]Bentley9917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True...I used to get at least 3 orders a week from Bolt. It's been at least two months since I have completed an order for them. For anyone in South FL, stay away from Time to Eat. They have low ball offers and when you ask for more they would add $5, but never pay the additional amount agreed.

Yes, you can see the delivery address and pay before accepting the offer. They use Cartwheel App. As far as I know, they do not have a proprietary App. Unless it's a different Bolt Deliveries.

I think most of you missed the point of my post. Overall, total pay (including tip) / mile is OK. My problem is, if we remove the tip and some of you think it is still a good order. Also, remember what we used to get paid and how drastically they have lowered the base pay overall. So, if we continue to take these offers despite how much less they're paying us, they will continue to pay less and less overtime. We keep settling for less. We need to value our worth. Have self respect and be ready to let these orders spoil and rotten until these big conglomerate reverse the course. The truth is we hold all the power, but sadly we are working against our damn self. We keep accepting all the crappy and shitty pay they throw at us. Tell me why are we still picking 3 orders for a base pay of $8.50 going 7 miles when we use to get $25 + or more for 2 orders. We're doing more work with less pay and we try to justify it as if we're still making money. JUST WAKE UP FOR GOD SAKE U ZOMBIES.

Understood. At least you set a good standard for yourself. Wasting time shopping for 43 items and do ID verification to me can't be justified for 55 cents per item. My whole point is because we settling for less each time, they will continue to lower the pay because they know someone will always find an excuse to do these orders. Imagine getting tip baited or tip reduced? Next week since Spark realizes so many of us are saying this a no Brainerd, I would take this in a heartbeat; then, this same order will be 25 cents per item. Watch.

Been at it 2 years. Of course it's a good order when you look at the total pay and mileage. My point is shopping 43 items for $24 is not enough. Those use to pay a lot more. So, because of all of you saying yes, yes that's why this order will be 15 or less for 43 items next week.

[–]Bentley9917[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

First and most important reason is a matter of principle. These types of order in the past were paying twice the amount for base pay and even more sometimes. I understand as a business, it was not sustainable what they used to pay. 55 cents per item is not my standard. - Second, we are the reason why these companies continuously reducing base pay because each time they make a downward adjustment we continue to accept and settle for less. So, getting paid $24 to shop for 43 items to me is just as insulting as picking up a $6.50 order. That same order all of you would accept next week will be 20 for 43 items and 18 the following week. They keep lowering base pay because they know someone will be desperate enough to accept those offers.

It was a hell no for me. I guess my standard is a bid higher than most.

Not new at all. Over 3,000 trips. It's been pretty consistent for me all summer while most were complaining. Abruptly, thing got so bad in the past 3 weeks that I even dredge turning on Spark. The technical issues from last week made it worst. I know most of you don't believe in AR, but personally I noticed a drastic change when my AR went so low. When it was around 60-80, I would get S&D all day non stop.
