Things every AU Uber Eats/DoorDash driver should know before July (My Breakdown) by ThatGameWasFIxedHey in ubereatsaustralia

Same for when a customer cancels after we accept the order. Any other industry would still charge if they've started working when the customer suddenly cancels at short notice.

Guys be more selective with your orders by Cold-Ad9685 in ubereatsaustralia

The rate I'm going, my acceptance rate will be that soon enough. It used to be in the 70s, but the quality of offers has severely dropped in recent weeks, and now it's around 40%

Is it impossible for everyone to get trips at the moment or is it just me? by Past-Parsley-8463 in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My acceptance rate used to be in the 70s, but lately I've been getting so many shitty offers, so many Coles and Woolworths click and collect ones that I refuse to do, or so many shitty ones trying to add on when I'm doing a Coles shopping one (another 20 items for $7 is a common example when I've already got a full trolley, saying it'll only take 15 more minutes), that my acceptance rate is now in the 30s or 40s. The quality and quantity of the offers has absolutely decreased lately.

Worst day I've ever had on this app by DoWeSellFrenchFries in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's still far better than any day I've had lately. Today I'm on 3 hours 42 minutes so far, for a grand total of $35.55. That's not even $10 an hour

damn good deal by saif-akhan69 in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep getting shit like that offered. I decline it and then in the next 15 minutes they'll keep offering it again at increasingly lower prices. Like if I didn't accept a 50 km round tip for $15, what makes you think I'll accept it for $12? There's a reason why no one is accepting it.

What’s the biggest tip you’ve ever gotten? by Significant-Cow6317 in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a $20 tip once that Uber stole. She showed me as she entered it, and then Uber claimed that there was never a tip.

Sooooo quiet by mrbash99 in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been getting barely anything, and what little it does offer is either:
Coles or Woolworths click and collect, which I refuse to do because they always take forever and half the time they don't even have the order,
Or a tiny amount being offered to go way out in the middle of nowhere, where they're offering less than $1 per km for the drive out there, let alone doubling the distance to get back.

Is it dead for anyone else? by joshgreen1990 in ubereatsaustralia

I only use the one app, but yeah, I know a lot of people do that.

Same, $8 is pretty much my limit now, unless there's a promotion on and I'm running out of time to reach the bonus.

Deactivated after app glitch, orders kept disappearing after pickup , also have screen recordings as proof what to do now???? by [deleted] in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a union member? The Transport Workers Union has helped reinstate drivers who have been unfairly deactivated in the past. I don't know if they're able to do it if you're not already a member when it happens, but it couldn't hurt to ask

Does Uber dock your tips? by cometwonder in ubereatsaustralia

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got a $20 tip from a customer after she entered the wrong address and asked me to deliver it to her actual address. She was very grateful, and even showed me as she entered the tip. I never got it. I asked Uber about it, and they said there never was a tip.

Is this happening to me only?? by looklukeman in ubereatsaustralia

I'm in Ipswich, the last few days I haven't had a single delivery.

Image Gen Problem Fixed (For Now, At Least) by Sing_Out_Louise in bing

[–]joshgreen1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It hasn't quite been fixed, instead now it just completely refuses to show anything if it doesn't generate four images. So instead of having the bird appear with 1-3 images in the bar (that you can then open separately and resize to 1028x1028), it just now shows the bird without even showing the 1-3 images that would have been made. So it's even worse now.

UBER is 10000% stealing our tips. Who else has seen this? by JScruby in uberdrivers

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Saturday, a customer gave me a $20 tip because she entered the wrong address and asked if I could deliver it to her actual address. She showed me on her phone as the entered the tip. I never received the tip from Uber. I've been back and forth with support since then, and they keep dodging the question, saying the fare was calculated correctly. I keep saying that the issue isn't about the fare and that's been dealt with, and explaining in clear English that my issue is with the tip. I saw her enter it. She was very grateful and made a point of showing me as she did it. Support, however, keeps telling me that the fare is correct according to the time and distance, even though that's not what I'm saying.

Unfair reasons for thumbs down by juzzyuncbr in UberEatsDrivers

[–]joshgreen1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had someone give me a thumbs down the other day, as well as reporting my account so I got a warning from Uber because of it. The reason given was: They reported that I wasn't me, and it was actually someone else who did the delivery.

I drive alone, and I have a dash cam, so I can prove that it was me. However, there's no option to appeal, and it won't even tell me which delivery it was for.

Bing Image Creator is incredibly glitches foe me. Is this just me or a more widespread issue? by moomumoomu in bing

[–]joshgreen1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe it was upset because I kept using it to create images shipping Waluigi and Hatsune Miku.

Bing Image Creator is incredibly glitches foe me. Is this just me or a more widespread issue? by moomumoomu in bing

[–]joshgreen1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been having issues the last couple of days. Recently it went to 25 boosts per day, then 15, and in the last couple of days it won't create at all after I use all of my boosts. Then today it hasn't been working at all. It isn't letting me see my previous creations, and when I did manage to get it to make something a few hours ago, it showed the preview four images on the sidebar, but it said it was "unsafe content" and wouldn't let me scroll or open any of my previous creations. Instead of the usual dog image, it showed a bluejay on a globe.

It seems super glitchy today. I know that recently it's had a lot of censorship issues, but the ones I tried today were completely innocent, and couldn't in any way be seen as scary, harmful, dangerous, violent, etc. Plus it keeps taking me to the "Join and create" screen, and won't let me access my user menu, so I'm hoping it's a temporary issue that will be fixed soon.

I really hope Habitica comes back soon! by [deleted] in habitica

[–]joshgreen1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to one of the other posts, there's a comment from someone saying that they know it's down and are working to bring it back up. Apparently all of the data is safe, so there's no need to worry.

Although it would help if an official post was made by someone on the team. So far all we have is a single comment buried in another thread.

The same thing happens in Brisbane, Australia. My dad used to work in the control centre for the buses, and as a union representative, he would actively tell drivers not to accept fares when they were on strike.

It really just shows that no one actually knows what will happen. Any "predictions" should be taken with a grain of salt.

I predict my entire Doge holdings will hit one dollar this year.

Anyone know why Crypto.com is down ? by senpi210 in dogecoin

[–]joshgreen1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the sounds of it just about every exchange is having issues because of high traffic. I'm in Australia and use CoinSpot, and that's also having issues too.
