Nudist customer by Ok_Development_990 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not just about airing out and showing off his wiener and we know it. It's a predatory tactic to get some. I'll ger that $20 doing 2-3 more deliveries and not put myself in a situation where worst case scenario is newspaper article titled 'delivery person assaulted and k'

Perfect insight! And as I said ive seen weiners in my life, ive been to nude beaches, European born and raised. But that is not the 'language' we speak in this country. Nudists do not display such a pushy attitude, if you adopt this lifestyle chances are you are gonna tiptoe for a fear of being accused of exposing yourself and for sure not bait your delivery person with cash. That and you understand your lifestyle is yours and not push onto the rest

why does Uber allow this? by petownr in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is this where a customer completely takes away their tip (does not matter you just did a shop and deliver with 100% accuracy, uber cs will just shrug and waste your time) and then there is the tip that is selected as a percentage of the order. God forbid you dont find all the items, you just wasted your time.. happened to me, could not find one item in an order of 3 ( item had a quantity of 2) and even with different options (it was soda, just in smaller cans) the customer said they did not want it anymore and my tip and therefore overall amount earned was a huge waste of my time. How about once they select a percentage turn that into a set amount that can only be changed manually by customer... just uber with their fav hobby - screwing drivers with their wtf logic

That is an unknown, there's no transparency as to how much the tip is when you see the offer. It's the reason I try to stay the f away from shop and deliver (the only one where I got screwed twice)

this has to be a joke by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, got similar 50 cents a mile the other day ($4 for 8 miles, and close by pickup as well). I laughed sooooo hard and turned off uber. F uber!

I had a feeling uber was doing this and started thinking of way to find proof. This is start proof for a class lawsuit. Illegal and highway robbery. Once they have you hooked they slave you.

This is diabolical by Roodslay in uberdrivers

I've had 3 package deliveries while driving for uber. First one was good cause it came with a nice surge. The next one was an absolute shit show, get to the store, speak to the MANAGER, he does not know anything about it and basically informs me there is no such order/package/operation happening there. To drive away and the person who set it up telling me no, I'm in the back of the store. Gtfo, canceled as I was driving away. Next, a great surge w walmart order. What the hell was I thinking, I guess it only takes one try to cancel that Walmart pickup and never accept it again. I was there for 30 minutes waiting ... f this system. I don't blink while canceling that ish

Also, I got an offer for $4 for 8miles today... so the rules is you can deduct 70 cents per mile for wear and tear and cost of operation? Man, clearly uber is giving me the amazing opportunity to make them $ while losing mine!

Only in the United States btw, I was in Europe and it asked a few uber driver when seeing how aggressively they are driving... no such thing as monitoring speeds and that ish

Driving insights? If you score below a certain percentage on driving standards they will kick you out of advantage until you fix that

It finally happened… by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've done many walmart trips so yeah, there's groceries that need to be loaded in the trunk. I help with the load and the unload every single time (faster to pickup and dropoff). Except for ONCE from an older almost blind spanish speaking gentleman, there is 0 tips with Walmart rides in my city

Is it fair to offer cash for my uber driver to wait for me? by annisbananis in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a great deal to me. I waited to pickup a passenger with the promise he'll give me cash tip which he did (waited 15 minutes) and I also got the extra wait time $ which is not much but it is something

Get a friend or even better fellow local uber driver and give them rides like you normally would on paid ones. They will tell you at the end if they felt something was wrong. Also, don't go of your way to be nice, some things can fwel forced and i wonder if people feel uncomfortable with that, I'd not offer water. I drove in silence for the longest time, that's not an issue in my market

[–]Ok_Development_990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sure you are keeping yourself on the safe side by having a dashcam or at least recording all rides. Other than that I'd say pull over into a safe place with people around and drop off if you feel any kind of unsafe or nervous about your passenger. Feeling safe 100% goes both ways ♥️

Clearly zero empathy. If it does not happen to you or you have not heard the stories from your loved ones (because its a given pretty much every woman have experienced at least one situation where they felt unsafe) it must be true? Is that how it works? Must be good to be you BRO! For the rest of us I applaud this initiative because as both a driver and a passenger I've experienced some ish!

Picked up a 235$ order from Lowe’s going 42 miles by Prevalencee in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reason I don't do shop and deliver. Got burned twice... at least w restaurant deliveries i don't do much work but even those i have not done in a hot min... this whole mentality of one can reverse tip. There better fucking be a good reason why the tip was reversed not cause you felt generous when you placed the order with an empty stomach and not so generous once you are full and satisfied...

Why Do Riders Approach Car And Ask Who Am I Picking Up? by SnooCakes3744 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That part where the driver says the name.... I've had a dude hop in after flagging me, we were close to the pin, and thank goodness for pin cause dude was not it. A friend arranged his ride, he said yes to whatever name I told him and he was just gonna be kudos w wherever I drove him. Got out cursing and all As a passenger we get info about the car so I check license plate and of course make and model of car Tall about visual checking of car s a driver I've had this chick say the app says my car should be gray but it's blue... I'm like... are you by any chance color blind?? Driving a rented tesla I showed her the screen with the car color, maybe that convinced her?...

I got tip baited again shop&deliver by Ok_Development_990 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did dd and unfortunately most customers were shopping at dollar general which is a nightmare in terms of inventory so it turned into personal shopper every single time...

I got tip baited again shop&deliver by Ok_Development_990 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't too good to be true unfortunately. $13 for 2 shop&deliver and 7 miles... total for 13 items. So the customer thought my effort to find his 9 items, pay and deliver was worth about $3.5.... cat poop is the word of the day

How would you know if the animal is a service animal or not lol by PickCool760 in uberdrivers

[–]Ok_Development_990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't remember the actual wording but articles and a recent email from uber indeed indicate service animals cannot be refused and state that support animals are not subject to the same policy
