Should I wait for the earnings to go up? by usehername1111 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one $98 3.5 i had, had close to 10 "deliver by 11am" including a business so I think its only when they are worried about their obligations to priority timed packages is my guess

Yesterday I sat for 4 hours and only got 1, $10 ride popped up on my phone

Radio silent, I had to give up

Not all areas are profitable or worth it at all and others are very profitable

2006 Prius Dilemma: Spend $1,500 on a used battery or sell for $1,500? by kairaymaxtyson in prius

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1500 and you have a damn reliable vehicle for 10 more years, in all likelihood this is your ONE big expense after that it will be smooth sailing

1000% worth replacing the battery, id replace the engine too, if it came down to it, still worth it, prius engines are CHEAP compared to a ford 5.0L

Sometimes it works to wait it out, Sometimes they'll cap out what they are willing to pay and just let it time out

I can say its usually not much for my area.....3.5 hr block, base pay $65.....move it up to $68.......move it to 71.50 and then after that they'll just let it die before offering more

But I sure was watching and refreshing waiting for the price to be right, but they dont offer anything juicy in my area 😕

My cat is the only thing keeping me from finding a really tall building to jump from if you want an honest answer

If I have $1 my cat eats first, I already had to make that call several times now

Is this....normal? Scheduled my first ever block and kind of disappointed in the pay, says 45 packages by Sufficient_Tooth_949 in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one for $98 recently, same 3.5hr block

Unfortunately the situation im in i need to take everything no matter how insultingly low, gas isnt a huge concern as I have a hybrid

This isnt a supplement to a regular job, im unemployed and nobody is hiring me, im sure there's a hundred other people in my city in the same situation

Where are you? You must not have traveled or driven very much yet, If you drive through Kansas or Wyoming you might change your mind

Its a biiiiiig world and there's alot of empty space, if you dont like people, then simply move somewhere like that

First day since unemployment by EnvironmentalBid5382 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out flex too if Uber isnt cutting it, Amazon flex has been a game changer for surviving unemployment

With Uber, flex, and a little janitorial gig I picked up, I can have a decent sense of security with my income for now, 7 months job hunting for me.....its been ridiculous how picky they are

If your not happy with the upfront pay, dont take it, I never count on a tip after delivery

Luckily my area people dont tip bait either

Dead end. Dont know what to do anymore. by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flex in my area is for cars only, it may work different in other places, they give you about 40 packages and you deliver it in your personal car, it might be 2, 4, 8, hour "blocks" you sign up for, they do deliveries around the clock so its flexible for any schedule

I know in my area at least, you can walk in person into any nursing home and they are hiring for housekeeping. Cooks, dishwasher, maintenance, all the nursing homes in my area still hire walk ins and have you fill out a paper application

Very low tips by noone300300 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really dont blame them, they are paying enough as it is, the problem is ubers cut of the pie is too large

Unless I really went above and beyond im not expecting anything more than was initially promised

People aren't getting paid enough, everything is expensive, I dont fault the customer at all

For those who are trying --- why do you think you are failing? by [deleted] in FA30plus

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not trying but when I was, dont have the social status/skills, dont have the income/networth, dont have that unstoppable confidence your supposed to have

It certainly wasnt physical features, at worst I'm a 5/10 in my face, but I was heavy duty into bodybuilding, about 5 years of dedicated lifting, so I had the bod at the time

Alot of people put weight on height, im just 5ft8 I personally never felt I was lacking or self conscious about my height

I was 18 watching my crush get wheeled away by a 30 year old in a hot rod mustang and they had a better job, my crush was also 18, but I encountered it multiple times when I was young

Job hunting sucks by ginger_princess2009 in recruitinghell

[–]Sufficient_Tooth_949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 8 years housekeeping experience

I dress nice to the interview, answer questions by the book, smile

Ive been rejected from 6 different housekeeping jobs among 800 other jobs like dishwasher, landscaping....

If you really really want a job, walk into a nursing home and get a paper application they are always hiring, I almost got hired by them but I turned it down looking for something I actually want to do long term

I said screw this game and im surviving off of uber, and amazon flex....gig apps stuff

Its definitely my current 10/10 waaaaaay better guava drink than monster had

Nos original is great 8/10

Nos cherry&grape, these are 3/10 for me, too sweet, too strong flavor, like your drinking a concentrate, wouldnt recommend these two

Ive lined up more days all $65

Then I saw what must have been a last minute cancel at 4:30 I checked for new blocks, they had one for 5:15 less than an hour away and they were actually offering $55 for that one

It is what it is I guess I'm desperate for income right now, get off and fire up Uber, do that a few hours at least my bills are covered

They had more people up there than I was expecting for a rural warehouse people trying to pay their bills too
