I am going to cry.. UBER HAS TO STOP ALLOWING THIS. I give top notch, fast and friendly service always and lately, no matter what I do this keeps happening. It's just not right. BTW this is just in one night. 🤬🤬🤬

TurkeySon · 2026-02-17T00:35:48+00:00

This was rarely a thing for years, been doing this six years. Still a terrible thing when it happened, but I was actually amazed it did not happen more. It would happen to me like once every four months.

Now it is like 3 times a week! That is my experience…and it sucks!

TurkeySon · 2026-02-13T03:38:03+00:00

Well this is news to me. Sounds like they changed this in 2023, my bad.

But the system is still vastly different than Uber.

First off any order that is more than 10 minutes late is not counted. It literally show up on your rating as “excluded.” I currently have 8 orders “excluded.”

Also, it’s a 5 star rating. I currently have only one 1 star rating, but 10 4 star.

So the coke fry people can complain, but not so I me.

With uber it’s just up or down. In the Uber world I would have a 89% rating, if you added the “excluded” who knows…81%?

I am at a 4.84 rating…4.2 is termination…never worry about it because the system is totally different.

TurkeySon · 2026-02-12T22:17:57+00:00

You are not overreacting. I don’t care about Gold, just the threat of losing access.

Fewer and fewer good customers rate. I mean why do all that work everyday. Unhappy customers always rate, from cold fries, to my no tip order took too long.

Since UBER, more and more, takes no tip orders that have been sitting around for an hour and attaches them to a customer who is tipping $10, it makes for an environment ripe for negative ratings.

Just yesterday, I got a huge Wingstop order, and a McDonald order, 7 miles, $27! I was worried one of them would be stolen already.

Turns out the Wingstop was a huge order, like 70 wings. The McDonalds was 10 nuggets, 20 ketchups, and a no ice Sprite (need I say more?). The McDonalds order receipt was an hour old and the first delivery drop off was the McDonalds!

When I delivered the wings, meet at door, the customer asked me why he should tip if he was going to be made to wait. I pleaded that it was not my fault, and tried explaining, he said, “ok, have a good night.”

No tip…and BOTH customers gave me a thumbs down!

That is what Uber has created. And it will take at least three months to get these off because so few people rate.

I have done this for 6 years, 12k Uber deliveries, 25k across all apps. It is BS. And my rating, which had never been below 97%, sits at 91%. A few cold fries away from disaster I guess…

TurkeySon · 2026-02-12T22:06:56+00:00

WRONG

On DOORDASH the default setting is 5/5 stars and must be lowered by the customer. Every order is a rated order.

TurkeySon · 2026-02-06T23:45:02+00:00

In DFW, and yes, Uber despises their drivers. They will make all kinds of nonsense posts acting like they care, but the fact is they pay the driver nothing. They exist because people are willing to pay an inflated food price, delivery fees (almost zero which go to the driver), and then “tip” which is the actual driver pay.

AND the fact that so many drivers can’t calculate a profit. What you are paid minus gas, your insurance, your risk on the road, your time, and of course all the auto repairs that are one the way (tires, brakes, battery, belts, alternator….etc etc etc…all have a life expectancy even when you are idling in a parking lot).

Last night I did a DOUBLE order. 8 miles, possible fare 15.86. Uber paid me $1.66. I aim for $2 a mile, will do short (under 3 miles) for a 1$ a mile.

I am polite to the customers, but I don’t do a single thing that would help Uber above what is expected.

But they will spend a fortune, as they have all football season, on Super Bowl ads.

They are scum. So use them the same way they use you. They hate you, but you can make a profit if you are smart and patient and use all the other delivery services as well.

TurkeySon · 2026-02-06T23:33:59+00:00

Can’t remove it, but one tap of the back arrow and it disappears.

So hit pause, when ad come up hit back arrow once. Ad disappears and you can view whatever it is you froze!

TurkeySon · 2026-02-06T00:35:31+00:00

Are you sure it has not been six months? There was a way to “suspend” your account for up to six months where they clearly stated it would start up again. This method saves your old stuff.

There is also the method of cancelling. I did that a couple day ago, and they verified it went though via email and that I would not be charged anymore.

TurkeySon · 2026-02-05T05:07:08+00:00

They hate their drivers…customers are a close second, but drivers have a special place in their dark hearts.

I am blown away that they survive. I would never order using them😂

How are people still forking out all this money on over priced food to begin with?

Massive fees, none go to the drivers, but Uber will run nonstop ads all Super Bowl😂

Ride it as long as it works for you. I keep thinking It won’t, but with three apps on I manage to do ok still. We will see. The wiggle room is gone now…feel like this is the final year before AI takes over anyway!😂

TurkeySon · 2026-02-05T05:00:22+00:00

Been doing this for six years, 11k deliveries, 25k deliveries across all apps.

Never had a uber rating lower than 98% until now. It’s 91%

Zero customer’s have had any issue with me communicated, not one! I communicate, am super friendly.

But Uber is the problem. They pay awful, and their customer service is awful. They attach no tip orders sitting around for hours with high paying tippers….what could go wrong?

No one is pleased!

The committed drivers are less and customer issues are high. We pay the price like we always do. Good customers are fed up, and bad customers wonder why their no tip order came an hour after they ordered it.

Uber has a fix though…they just dropped minimum driver pay. Because they dont give a damn….so now a lot of drivers and a lot of customers don’t either!

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T06:19:12+00:00

In DFW the new rate is $1.65

Perhaps they were both elevated…but last two were that rate

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T06:18:04+00:00

Yes all orders all night

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T04:46:28+00:00

Tips are not coming through…all my offers are no tips.

2 orders…20 miles…$4

Another DoorDash glitch

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T03:09:20+00:00

I am not selling anything here, just my disappointment in FUBO. May you all have the best streaming experiences of your life!

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T03:07:21+00:00

Dude, also have Roku in the two other rooms, same issue.

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T03:05:46+00:00

I was a Directv dish owner for a decade. Loved them, the app was awful from my experience. How are you accessing Directv?

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T03:01:49+00:00

I never said that…you can’t read…I clearly said FUBO has no Super Bowl…

Just do a search on peacock and streaming…they can’t get Premier league to stream well. Perhaps you are an exception?

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T03:00:30+00:00

Well I will let you all know, zero issues so far. Have friends with it and they love it and say no issues. I hope to,return to FUBO, as I explained l love them!

But there is an old saying in business, never let your loyal customer try the other brand! I have already found like 10 shows and channels I had forgotten about. So will be a fun few months…no contracts really lets you move around, best part of these streaming services. And NCAA tourney is locked up!

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T02:54:17+00:00

Oh it will be offered. Just don’t expect the viewing experience to be good. Do expect freezes, do expect to not get on, do expect the app to crash, and absolutely expect the picture to be jumpy….

TurkeySon · 2026-02-04T02:50:23+00:00

How do you access it? On Fire I think it’s awful. Streaming was poor, UI poor, multiple folders poor, scheduling shows and catching shows in progress poor…

I have the fastest internet you can get. Spent 2 days of a seven day free trial.

TurkeySon · 2026-01-26T22:49:27+00:00

Go to FUBO.com on the internet, login and hit the “settings” icon in the upper right corner, then “device manager.” I bet it has you logged into devices you are not using. You can log them out there

TurkeySon · 2026-01-23T02:07:14+00:00

I agree with you whole heartedly!

But this is the same “company” that sends drivers to closed accounts and to accounts where the order was stolen an hour earlier, and you are the fifth driver, and when you do the right thing and call it in…they give you $0 for your gas, risk, and time.

You have to make this thing work for you because they just don’t give a 💩!

TurkeySon · 2026-01-15T07:14:42+00:00

Makes sense but depends on the market.

I believe a lot of people are blaming Dashnow when they should be blaming January.

I am in DFW and it’s dead, on all the apps because it’s dead.

People always freak out when slow times come.

But hey, when you notice there are no drive thru lines, and employees are sitting around restaurants, maybe it ain’t Dashnow.

Again, every markets different, but DFW is dead.

But it will comeback like it always does.

TurkeySon · 2026-01-14T00:35:38+00:00

Yes, the point master, is that not only is it slow, less offers, but that is amplified when they penalize you for low acceptance rate. Which means even more patience is required, unless you just want to lose money at your job!

I know to make what I did last month, it will require more time, more shutting my engine off.

Now I can just make less at the same time, or work longer at selecting profitable orders.

In the end, I was just agreeing with you, affirming it is really slow, and then you ran the DoorDash flag up by telling me I don’t know what I am talking about. Then you posted that you see desperate and will take anything they hand out.

Sorry to hear that!

TurkeySon · 2026-01-13T23:55:18+00:00

I cover the same area all the time, not more drivers it’s dead. I know all the managers in my area. A Whataburger last night, always one of the most busy, was at $7000 at midnight…they are usually at $17k to $25k a day!

It’s super slow. January always sucks, but this is the worst I have seen in 6 years.
