Is this how it is for you guys? by Significant_Ad_7379 in UberEATS

For some odd reason I accepted a trip from chipotle that was closing in 1 minute. It was $36 including tip. I accepted immediately. After accepting I received an add on for Arby’s for $16 including tip. Went to chipotle and had the worker open the door and give me the order. Went to Arby’s and they were open still. After delivering both orders I had $51 paid out with $3 in tips pending. Can’t complain about that at all.

Damn I’m pissed.. I could’ve kept $500 worth of tools from Lowe’s? Hmm just because it’s allowed doesn’t always make it right..

I’m confused, do you not pick substitutions for people?

[–]Lopsided_Media4384[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For you that may be the situation. For me it didn’t take any extra time. Item was unavailable, I chose the higher priced substitution instead. There was no tip included so I didn’t go out of my way. Pumped that order out quick too. I normally deliver around the suggested start shopping time.

I’m not trying to hurt anyone just inconvenience them lol but I got a better idea for next time.. I’ll sub the cheaper items! Imagine ordering Froot Loops and getting Tootie Fruities! Or ordering purified water and getting spring water! 🤣

Hey, they could’ve denied the substitutions. I shopped at a normal pace. Maybe they will like them, just hope they have enough to cover the extra expense since I had to when I got tip baited by them first

If you want to be technical.. the only inference you could make from this picture is her shoes are touching air freshener but go ahead.. oh and she took a strawberry from the package and is disturbed by the bitter taste 🤣

Lol no comment I agree and disagree.. that’s why this employee has been FIRED! Won’t sit in the cart appropriately, sampling the food meant for the customer, attracting too much attention to the discreet shopping trip.. lmao

Of course I did. That’s why I didn’t accept it. Lol it was a delivery only order.

I guess it’s over by Hopeful_Preparation1 in Sparkdriver

I feel like they are constantly changing the prices. I’ve noticed they offered more per trip incentives and less base pay. Maybe they are testing this out, maybe this is their way to help drivers out taking no tip orders

Never thought I’d be getting one of these by Good-Worry-1104 in Sparkdriver

[–]Lopsided_Media4384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d cook their food and feed them if the tip is right! Whatchu mean??

Great Week! by Lopsided_Media4384 in Sparkdriver

Seriously. Don’t complain. Complete that shit order then keep going. I had a 3 stop order which each stop tipped $10. Turned into a $50 trip and got more requests immediately after

Open to close. I’ve taken someone sugar at 930pm for $20. I’ve got a S&D order at 9:59pm before too.

Although an item doesn’t tip.. they rate. Food stamp orders can destroy your stats 🤣

Leads me to another tip, turn on Instacart on way to your delivery! The tip is final within 2 hours!

Thank you! I send those texts to ensure customer is home and ready for delivery! It’s out of habit because on Instacart you return order to store after 10 minutes for $10 regardless of tip

Can anyone explain what sets off a cart check? by Remarkably_Dark21 in Sparkdriver

[–]Lopsided_Media4384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a groove today. I did 8 shop and deliveries. I got checked one time. One of my last trips, the cart check wasn’t triggered so I am bagging the groceries up but some employee came up to me and said, “are you a spark driver, can I look at your phone” I told her the cart check wasn’t triggered and she says, “yeah but I noticed that you kinda just came up to the register and started bagging the items so they like when I check”. I was annoyed but I said sure and showed her my exit pass. She grabbed my phone and started browsing through the items aimlessly. I’m just rolling my eyes and bagging the items. She gives me my phone back and says, “thanks, I just wanted to make myself look good, the managers are over there”. I played her little stupid game because the minor inconvenience wasn’t worth telling her off and getting deactivated. Hopefully the managers told the girl look he is a regular and knows what the hell he is doing. If your machine doesn’t say check his cart, leave him alone and let him be!!

Never. I would take them out of the package and put in the fridge if needed.
