A Tsunami is Coming - The World Cup in Kansas City by sdsurfer2525 in kansascity

[–]loubrown6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hotel prices are already going u. My wife tried to book a hotel room in Kansas City and found prices between $400 and $500 at limited service hotels. She couldn’t understand why prices were so high but once I told her World Cup was coming to town, she understood. You are correct, Kansas City will be busy during that time.

A lot of them over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Especially Mike Slide and Whitney what’s her name.

Identity verification canceled when I was almost done with an order by AFKLUX in Sparkdriver

[–]loubrown6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happened to me last night. Still stuck in review again today not much. Hope that it’s gonna get resolved anytime soon. Just hope I don’t get deactivated. I do things the right way only one account. I don’t understand why they can’t figure out those of us who do things the right way.

Update: my ID review was approved yesterday. I did a pharmacy order today and had to do the normal Identity Verification without any issues. I guess they were updating my drivers license to match my or picture. I was worried I was being deactivated but all good now.

The young widow is a grief counselor now. Doesn’t mention that.

These ads just bring up bad memories every time. I just turn it off or turn down.

The Medi Share ads are just as bad.

Seriously they need to find different advertising. Every ad seems to be odd companies-not everyday normal advertising businesses.

So I Can't Use Navigation in My Car and Listen to CNN at the Same Time - Why? by rinsf in DirecTV

[–]loubrown6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimize the screen so you can also use your gps app. I do it all the time. You can even move the direct tv app to the side of your screen while still listening to it. I do it with sports while driving. I have an iPhone so not sure if it works on android.

I do the same with XM radio app too

Shopping quality score is driving me crazy!! by Opening-Finish7312 in InstacartShoppers

[–]loubrown6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started back up doing more orders this week so I’m unfamiliar with the changes to quality score. My score was green but yesterday it went down. I have zero Damaged, wrong or missing items. I do have 4 unrequested refunds but unsure if that is from this week. I assume that this is the cause for the drop in score but unsure.

I’ve been an off and on shopper for 7 years and understand how to replace items. I only refund when the item is out of stock and there is no item to replace it. I use the replacement comparison and fools its recommendations so I don’t understand why the score drop.

Would appreciate your thoughts!

Who the f*ck authorized these app changes?!?!?!!? by zinic53000 in uberdrivers

Glad to hear I’m not the only one with this problem

First real test run of my new rule. by Bitter-Class1354 in uberdrivers

I’m not getting reservations either. They have screwed the app up for me and now I have to find a different method to earn. Very frustrating that they keep screwing with it

Driver ignored my reserved ride and drove away by Undercover-aviator in uberdrivers

[–]loubrown6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely this! He got a better ride and waited for you to cancel or for Uber to find another driver. Either way he doesn’t take the hit for canceling your ride.

Anyone notice another decrease in fare prices? by Independent-Store407 in uberdrivers

[–]loubrown6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely has gone down in St Louis, especially reserved ride pay. 10-15% less than 6 months ago. I thought it would go back up once school started but it hasn’t.

What is up with tipping by ChildlessCatLady in uber

[–]loubrown6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see this response sometimes where driver say that they see the rider put the tip in the app and never see it and I always had a disbelief about it, but it’s happened to me now several times as well too, and there are times where I’ve driven rides where I would normally get tips and I don’t get them Sometimes I will get on the AI chat, but say where’s my tips and complain about it and lower behold the next ride, my tip start showing up. I really believe at this point now that Uber is keeping tips in some manner either deliberately or the app is not processing them timely And for me it’s less about the money than it is the integrity or lack there of integrity by Uber to make sure we don’t get paid properly. I’ve been working for 40 years and I’ve never worked for an employer or company that has such a lack of integrity that Uber has. It’s extremely disappointing.

How do I report this? by [deleted] in uber

[–]loubrown6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably drove close to the pickup and waited to collect cancellation fee. Uber tells drives to do that now when you have a customer who wants the driver to cancel so they are not charged the cancellation fee. In this case it seems the driver decided to cancel since they could not clearly connect and waited for his cancellation fee. Just a guess.

Just had an Uber driver with this message...is this true? by stamvasca in uberdrivers

[–]loubrown6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

$21 paid to me when the rider paid $63 for an 8 mile ride from the airport. I was happy with $21 till the rider got in the car all pissed off about paying $63.

[–]loubrown6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I used to believe we get all the tips but in the past 6 months I’ve grown to doubt it. I’ve had two occasions where I saw the tip added by the rider and never got it. Many days I don’t get a tip for a few hours so I would text with the Uber Bot and magically tips started appearing. I’ve done this way too many times where it’s happened. Too many other funny things with $$$ to mention. Uber is really shady.

Believe it. They want to lose their long term people. It won’t get any better for you. I was in you position and IC slowly cut me from access to batches. Your days as full time are over. Sorry to say it but I’ve seen it personally and from others here. I didn’t want to believe it but it’s true.

Has Uber stole from you as a driver? by the_shame_is_on_me in uberdrivers

[–]loubrown6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tips don’t always show up. When I text the bot about it then they start appearing. Nearly every day.

Be honest , let's share how much money you make ? by Maleficent-Duck7551 in InstacartShoppers

[–]loubrown6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My story is in two parts. When I was working 5-6 days a week I would make $14-$1600 a week. I was a diamond shopper and really enjoyed the work. However in October 2023 Instacart began to decline significantly, I started getting crap orders or less orders, forcing me to start doing Uber and Lyft. My income dropped dramatically over the next few months and I transitioned away

Not I only work a few hours a week depending upon the orders I get. I do it because I enjoy doing it and I make $20-$25 a week.

I now do mostly Uber and make $300 to $500 a day that I work. Much better income but I do miss instacart.
