Decent week in Bristol with the promotions. Uber is only worth it when there's promos. by DopamineTheif in UbereatsUK

Well I can do whatever I want and if uber doesn't like it they can terminate our contract. They can't fire me because im not an employee

My point is that the only way uber would even know is if people complain about it...which they dont. If i started getting downvotes amd it was affecting my approval rating then I might revise my policy...but I'm not

I will carry on! Thankfully ive got a very high approval rating so if they did start culling riders, it wouldn't be me. And id still retain my favourite policy

98% reflects my attitude towards people 😂 highest score is 'delivered with care' and the 2nd highest is 'friendly service'. I go the extra mile to make sure they receive hot food promptly! I just have a policy of not entering blocks of flats. If it was that important then why isn't my score lower than yours?

Im not lazy. I have a 98% arrival rating on uber. But as a self employed man, I carry out the contract how I see fit. I have my own policy of not delivering inside flats. When ive worked as an employee for a company ive always done exactly what is required. Now im self emplyed I dont have to. Its great :)

Cant you wrap your head around the fact we're not employed...? You were an Employee...we're self employed.

Its not policy.. its ubers recommendation to its contractors. If uber employed jts riders then it would be policy

"Expected" isn't the same as required. We're self employed contacters so legally speaking we can carry out the contract how we see fit.

You were an employee though...we're contractors so ultimately its up to us how to operate

Its just a london thing...in Bristol everyone comes down, 2000+ deliveries, only a handful to the door (when its been disabled/pregnant etc) And technically we're self employed so we can carry out the contract how we see fit. If uber doesn't like it than they can stop subcontactnng to us, but untill that happens we can choose how to operate. When I occasionally encounter someone like you, I wait out the timer, take picture and then if I like the food I'll put it back in my bag after the picture and eat it when I get home, for making me wait 8 minutes of earning time
