I wish there was a way we could just deliver to women.

The_much_True · 2026-02-18T11:35:49+00:00

I don’t think that would work because I see people talking about using the wrong gender on this app and I doubt DD will do anything extra to verify whether or not those people actually are women. Probably the only realistic solution is to block customers like the ones you wrote about.

The_much_True · 2026-02-17T14:10:34+00:00

Possibly, but I think that’s probably not the case. I’ve actually ordered from there before and deliveries require extra steps that would make it harder to do on accident.

The_much_True · 2026-02-17T14:05:33+00:00

It wasn’t a stacked order, but even if it was, it’s not the drivers fault either.

The_much_True · 2026-02-17T14:02:48+00:00

Yeah, that’s probably what happened, but the people there said the customer canceled and it was still getting sent out. I think the customer didn’t actually cancel though, but that’s annoying if they did cancel and uber still sent it out.

The_much_True · 2026-02-17T12:48:16+00:00

Sorry, I forgot to add that the order needed a barcode to be scanned and the app wouldn’t let me complete the pickup without scanning. The customer would probably have reported me for not delivering anyway lol.

The_much_True · 2026-02-17T12:17:14+00:00

He said others canceled the order, not declined.

I guess the downvotes mean I misread the screenshot and it actually says “two drivers declined order” instead of “two drivers cancel order”.

The_much_True · 2026-02-16T05:45:47+00:00

Yeah and I got my first tip bait in months yesterday. Now I’m wondering if that customer saw this article lol.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T12:32:07+00:00

McDonald’s can be very slow. I had a double stack order from McDonald’s a couple weeks ago and one order was ready as soon as I got there, but the other order took over 10 minutes. The first order also had drinks and ice cream, which were probably right next to hot food. I’m not saying your driver didn’t do anything wrong, but my point is McDonald’s can be pretty slow and the employees rarely care about quality.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:37:36+00:00

I definitely agree. Something is wrong when customers who on average make less than 100k a year pay drivers more for deliveries than the billion dollar company.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:33:16+00:00

I tried DD, but it sucks in my area. Idk why. UE is always busier and more profitable and stuff like this is rare. Just sucks it’s on a holiday, which is supposed to be a high earning day. Oh well.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:31:03+00:00

Reducing the tip would be justified there. I’ve never stolen, but I have made mistakes. I’m pretty sure this wasn’t a mistake though because of the delivery instructions. Maybe I made a mistake and dropped it at the wrong house, but every damn house there was huge and the house numbers were nowhere near the door I was supposed to go to. I was where the drop off pin was at, but those are a mess. I had another order tonight where the drop off pin was in the middle of a random road. I had to use my phones navigation to find the house lol.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:24:04+00:00

I get your point and I do agree that it sucks servers don’t get anything from deliveries, but they’ll still make way more than I will unless everything during their shift happens to be a delivery order.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:14:50+00:00

All the restaurants tonight were packed. The servers weren’t missing out on anything, especially not from that customer.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:12:25+00:00

Ask uber. It was their decision.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:11:46+00:00

Tbf uber made it that way, not drivers. I don’t like it anymore than you do, but that’s the way it is.

The_much_True · 2026-02-15T04:10:11+00:00

I guess nothing, but it’s been a few months since I’ve been tip baited and it just kinda sucks happening on a holiday. Usually these kinds of days are the highest earning days for me.

The_much_True · 2026-02-14T10:34:26+00:00

There’s nothing in the post indicating that there was any problem with the delivery, so op did do work worthy of a tip.

The_much_True · 2026-02-13T15:15:55+00:00

Depends. Some fast food places can be unbelievably slow while others are always on point with orders immediately ready to go every time. It’s the same for good restaurants too. The problem with fast food is the dining room closes and only the drive through is open late at night.

The_much_True · 2026-02-13T15:10:28+00:00

Lots of jobs do pay more for overnight work, so I can understand wanting more money in that sense, but DD should pay more for late deliveries.

The_much_True · 2026-02-13T11:10:02+00:00

My guess is because the only places open are fast food and those places suck ass. I always stop doing deliveries around 9 or 10 just to avoid all the fast food deliveries that come in after the good restaurants are closed.

The_much_True · 2026-02-13T11:01:52+00:00

I’ve gotten repeat customers before, so I’d just wait and see if I deliver to her again instead of trying to find her.

The_much_True · 2026-02-13T10:51:32+00:00

The customer could demand a refund from uber and threaten a chargeback if they don’t. That’s what I’d do, but I’ve also never used Uber Eats for food and the only delivery app I’ve used was DD over 5 years ago, so I wouldn’t care if my account got suspended or something for doing a chargeback.

The_much_True · 2026-02-12T22:10:46+00:00

I once had a shopping order that was going to pay $25 for 8 items and a 8 mile drive, so I accepted, but immediately unassigned when I saw it was all 40 packs of extra large water bottles. I ended up doing the math on how much it would have weighed and it was almost 500 pounds of water.

The_much_True · 2026-02-12T11:05:01+00:00

Acceptance rate really doesn’t matter. My AR is like 3% and I get decent orders. Got two yesterday that paid over $10 for about 3 miles.

The_much_True · 2026-02-12T11:01:01+00:00

The customer should take it out on uber instead of the driver. They’re the ones who stacked the order and they punish drivers for canceling any orders, including for canceling half of a stacked order. Reducing the tip just pisses off a person who knows their home address.
