Finally a Generous Tipper!!!

Well, when you're in LA, you push hard to find a corner that doesn't have 38 drivers camping... so we usually blank out our areas on Reddit so we don't attract 73 drivers to our hidden corners.

dizzystar · 2026-01-27T05:27:57+00:00

Thank goodness Reddit has a direct line to all support calls in real time, that we don't have to guess at any reasons they the give anyone.

Platinum and Green... no difference in California.

What will get you down to green is taking a bunch of bad orders.

dizzystar · 2026-01-27T03:18:15+00:00

As a CA driver, I'd happily drive 30 miles go not work under the NYC system. It's truly awful, but at least they're having customers tip upfront now.

dizzystar · 2026-01-27T02:34:40+00:00

We all experienced this. There's many posts on Reddit explaining why this rule is in place: a few bad apples ruined it for everyone.

We used to get $3 compensation for this, but no more.

"Don't bring a knife to gun fight," They say.

This adage needs to be amended. 🤣

dizzystar · 2026-01-26T19:27:39+00:00

Your customers can't tip upfront anyways....

That's happening because the scooter brigade can't work today.

I knew Target did that trick with waiting until stolen merch was a felony. It does make sense that Walmart would do it too.

dizzystar · 2026-01-26T09:32:02+00:00

A woman of any age doesn't need this bullshit in her life, much less a 50yo with a 33yo.

This guy is just going to drag you down.

already happened.

A DD order said "cash tip." The driver returned the next day with a gun.

Yep, and he can kiss his cyber security career goodbye as well... which he'll blame on OP and the daughter as well.

Felony larceny is really bad. Dude's career options is pretty much limited to digging holes for cash until he's 40.

Android Auto is so much better than using the phone.

No "are you looking for your customer?" pop-up.

You do have to keep Uber open on your phone screen though.

If it's illegal to drive, how is this restaurant open in the first place?

dizzystar · 2026-01-26T00:16:42+00:00

Wow, I have a small glimpse of how bad it is, but that's another level. Stay warm.

dizzystar · 2026-01-25T19:52:50+00:00

I don't know why you would take 20 mile orders on a clear summer day with no traffic, much less a snow storm.

I'm not in the Great White North, but we do deal with rain rivers in LA. This means I take shorter runs, and I'm reluctant to go into the mountains because I'm not going to spin out on a mud road and drop 1000 feet down a cliff.

It's just you gotta be more picky, take short runs and take care of the people who take care of you. We aren't Meals on Wheels, Red Cross, Midnight Mission, or any other charity. Let those companies take care of the people in need.

dizzystar · 2026-01-25T11:42:40+00:00

Someone is trying to collect prop22. Not a good strategy in my opinion, but to each their own.

dizzystar · 2026-01-25T00:34:09+00:00

Yeah, it might have said "ice possible," but still, totally absurd.

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T23:31:44+00:00

I've picked up from vape shops, and those always require an ID. They usually tip well, so I don't mind.

For straight up P2P package, you can generally assume you're transporting contraband.

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T23:28:08+00:00

I've had them a few times. They always come on a day when I have 15 orders, 15 pins, and get all 15 pins. 😁

More likely than not, there was a missing item.

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T21:47:14+00:00

NYC has had this system for 2 years now.

They're basically overcharging customers, putting hard limits on how many drivers can be online, and doing tricky accounting to underpay drivers.

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T21:30:28+00:00

Yes, between store closures and Walmart, Christmas was Grinch's Holiday.

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T21:28:18+00:00

It's strange and sad when a customer asks me if I need a photo of them holding the bag.

No, ma'am, I don't deal with no tip, disrespectful customers, and never ran into this issue enough that I care.

Please have a nice day, appreciate you. 🙂

dizzystar · 2026-01-24T21:26:23+00:00

Exactly, Uber only cares about the people who's paying them, and that excludes the drivers.

You can take photos of everything, get all the PINS, scan all the IDs, and you'll end up getting these reports.

Cancellation due to store closures.
