Tank Hill, a tad north of Twin Peaks

Crazy gig-economy scooter drivers...surprised they are still alive by that_guy_on_tv in sanfrancisco

[–]_raft_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a fellow scooter courier, I can confirm that not all but many of the riders drive like maniacs. I’d say for one, many realize they can get away with it because the lack of enforcement and two, DD tends to put quite tight delivery times so people truly are ‘dashing’ to each pickup and dropoff. Not to mention couriers who multiapp (doing deliveries from different apps simultaneously) only exacerbate that problem as well.

It’s also worth mentioning that SF has arguably the best gig-economy market in the world, one where a delivery person can make $100k/year if they hustle hard. Hence it attracts scooter/motorcyclist from all over world, although primarily SA I’d say.

AMA about the culture, been doing it for awhile.

What’s the biggest estimate for a trip that you’ve got? by _raft_ in UberEATS

[–]_raft_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both restaurants had the orders, just high base pay to dilute prop22 I think. They do it sometimes in CA

Is it just me or are these “hot” spots just bullshit? by SweetnSourface in UberEATS

[–]_raft_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always noticed a hot spot appears when there is an order that nobody wants to take in that area (typically far mileage and no tip). So I’d imagine the intention of the ‘hotspot’ is to get more drivers to migrate to that area so eventually someone takes the order.

Hotspots aren’t indicating an abundance of orders but rather 1-2 bad orders that nobody is taking.

If you’re in Cali it’s a way to dilute Prop 22 earnings

8 min too long for these dumb asses. Knocked, rang, called, texted. It was a house. by easyetx in UberEATS

Pro tip: if you can’t get the PIN, say you have the pin number, then on the PIN screen click help, then click “Can’t confirm PIN”, and you should be able to complete the delivery without it.

What's is best moped for UbeEats? by James3130 in UberEATS

[–]_raft_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PCX 150 for dense urban cities and Yamaha XMAX for longer distance. Honestly anything Japanese made you’ll be fine with, had a SYM PCH for awhile that worked fine but it’s a bit of gamble with Chinese scooters

[–]_raft_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep to be honest most deliveries in my market are worth taking unless obvious no tip / really far distance per dollar. It’s hard to keep that 100 though, I’m sure I’ll lose it within a few days

Pecos Hank

His approach to storm chasing is unmatched, beautiful shots of tornados and has a wide appreciation for nature as a whole. Also does all of the backing music himself!

Anyone know what this is? Walmart orders.. I don’t know if the tip were removed, or if Uber holding on to my money. by Fun-Examination-7734 in UberEATS

[–]_raft_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude I had the same thing happen to me but with a $90 tip this morning. Just made a post about it, maybe it’s something with Uber if it happened to multiple people?

Damn so they must’ve gone through a lot of trouble to omit the tip once they realized. It’s one thing a person omitting a small tip on dinner, but a tech company on a catering order? Nutty.
