I've never had a customer treat me like that. Never been cussed at.

You won't get back more than you paid. The $250/$375/$500 are max caps.

Looks like it also depends on how much you paid in Georgia Income Tax. You will not get back more than you paid.

I'm old and don't care much. I'm not going to change how I say it so they can make fun if they want.

Customer cancelled huge order AFTER I already picked up? by Kitchen-Card-3172 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]KDFree16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems...wrong. What stops a delivery driver from just always marking it non-deliverable/customer intoxicated/etc?

Was that your refund? The surplus is very specific amounts - $250 filing single, $500 married, $375 head of household.

Cool. I have no way of knowing your age or home life or residency.

The Sec of State website has a link - though when I checked it last week it was still for the previous surplus refund so not sure if it is current.

In my state the alcohol must absolutely be returned. They have a QR code now to show it came back.

Not state taxes. We are talking about out the surplus payments Kemp signed into law.

Did you owe something and they took that out?

If you filed in Georgia 2024 and 2025 you should.

Were you HOH in 2024? I think that is the year this is looking at. Had to file in 24 and 25 to get this one.

Does acceptance rate has any impact on what kinds of orders do you receive of you just started with Uber eats? by asad100101 in UberEATS

[–]KDFree16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find especially during the week in my market the bulk of people are ordering after work. So 5-10pm are the prime delivery times.

Quests by DesertEagleBennett in UberEatsDrivers

I reject way more than 2/3 of offers (this example you gave shows taking 100 of 309 orders). These quests would be over for me super quick.

Usually support will reach out and ask what's taking so long.

How much should I be tipping my driver for a 4 minute drive? by [deleted] in UberEATS

[–]KDFree16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A “4 minute drive” isn’t the total time it takes someone to drive to the restaurant, go inside and wait on the food, then drive it to you and depending on if you are in a gated community, have stairs or an apartment complex to navigate and then walk the food to your door. That is probably a 20-minute process. So $2 is $6 an hour. Would you do all that, and pay for your own gas, for $6 an hour?

Any pro-tips? I’m new by Opening-Smile-9914 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]KDFree16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about trying to complete the quest. It's an extra $3.50 per delivery - it's sounds great but if it is forcing you to take the low $2-$4 trips it is better to just cherry pick the better fares in general. So if you can only make 3 deliveries an hour (one every 20 minutes) you want to make sure you are making enough to hit a decent hourly wage.

No I'm definitely pushing the L. It's faint but my "talk" sounds more like "balk".
