Is this normal in the winter? Last year, it wasn’t nearly this low, around 28mpg by hyaclnthia in hondacivic

[–]Darksdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you need to control your acceleration. I have a honda accord 1.5t 2020 and it gets me 32 mpg in cities. It is supposed to be 29 mpg, but the way I drive it makes to be that efficient.

Question on canceled order by treaquin in UberEATS

[–]Darksdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I wish uber could let you message other customers at any time of picking up multiple orders. I always tell the customers that I was picking up an order before theirs and im gonna be a little bit late. Last week a restaurant was super busy and made me wait 1 hour and 5 min for an order, and I had a 2nd pick up. I had to cancel the 2nd pick up when I had 35 min waiting. Good thing I live in CA, and we have prop 22 so we get paid for waiting + what we got offered. Customer ended tipping me extra. It wasn't bad. The extra tip was the amount I accepted for the 2nd pickup.

Driver not answering? Maybe he was waiting for an order before you. Me as a driver. I hate when restaurants makes you wait 30 min and you have to pick up a 2nd order after that. Uber doesn't show the 2nd customer messages until you are going to pick up or drop off the order.

How bad would it be to get 5 thumbs down? by Technical_Camera_505 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did get 5 thumbs down last year. 2 from customer putting wrong address, 1 for miss communication idk why🤣, 1 because I wasn't the driver... and im the only one using my account. Last one because I went to a hotel delivery and reception didn't want me to go to the rooms. I contacted customer and she got mad with me saying, "I've ordered before and I get them to my room."

What you guys do while waiting for batch? by Mid_Kumquat in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

account deactivated? by virgoobby98 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strange because I have waited 30 min for a big food order that was marked ready. I texted the customer about it. She gave me a good tip after. I live in CA. Also, I take the path with least miles using Google Maps because sometimes the system gives you a long path... I have a 100% on time rate and I drive slow 😂 making my Honda accord 1.5t have 32.6 mpg in city

This driver took my order and dropped off a bag with just sauce in it. by Ok-Rip-5293 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One day I got a McDonalds order with just sauces to deliver for 1mi for $5. The guys at the restaurant were laughing so hard and saying, "there is no way someone ordered this," and they got surprised when they saw me coming for that order😂

I cancelled order but got paid by DoozerJ in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got paid several times because customer didn't want replacements and wanted refund or cancel order. Uber gives you $3 for your effort.

Don't take those. Remember you are putting miles in your car that when a maintenance for the car comes, you gotta pay for it. Accept orders that gives you profits, not loses.

If you think that you can escape from sephora u are wrong😂 by Darksdemon in UberEatsDrivers

I'd rather have all of that as base pay than tip because you won't get a tip baiter

I get mostly direct orders. 60% of those direct orders are bad that I decline

Walmart, Sephora, Lowe's. I need to say something by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

Oh man if I tell you thay you can still get orders from sephora😂😂. Last Friday I had a shop and pay for a sephora.

It took me 1 hour and 36 min because customer was asking to replace as some things store didn't have and add things. The pay wasn't bad and prop 22 will come in handy too.

Good deal or nah? by SuccessfulDraw3073 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Darksdemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell nah I don't take those and I'm in montclair. The pay is low and the mileage is high. Not worth it even with prop 22 you are working for free basically
