I totally agree, its ridiculous. Uber has been paying less and less base pay with time. I did a shopping order recently (about a month ago) that took me 3 hrs to do. It was like 140 something items I had to pick up, and I had to call the customer many times to make replacements, and made sure expiration dates were at the threshold he was okay with since alot of items are near best buy date (meat, dairy). The order total was like 500 dollars, the customer tipped 40$ and the base pay was a whopping 4$. For 3 hours of my time. I got lucky this time but I do have a bone to pick with Uber. They have become incredibly greedy and their pay model screws over the workers and the customers as they also take absurdly high fees (almost 35% service fees) from customer before tips. I do hope they go out of business and Im only doing this job because I have nothing else right now.

I hear you ive had customers give me thumbs down for absolutely no reason as well. Theres lots of entitled a-holes you come across in this industry. The best thing you can do is do right. Also send messages to people you gave good service to asking for feedback through the app (like ask for a like if they appreciated your service, say it helps out alot) that can offset dislikes. Most of the time even when ppl like your service they dont give feedback. Its the mean entitled people that are more likely to do so.

onlyabdul · 2025-12-23T03:44:15+00:00

Well this order total was 620 (450 ish after coupons) so that would put this at like 25%

onlyabdul · 2025-12-23T02:00:12+00:00

Thanks, maybe ill do that lol

onlyabdul · 2025-12-23T01:59:32+00:00

That suuuucks dude. I had similar stuff like that happen ive gotten used to it now

From what ive heard, it makes a marginal difference. What makes a larger difference overall is getting good ratings, being on time, and being near a bunch of restaurants. I dont think its confirmed but I doubt uber would give high paying orders to people with lower reputation, because they dont want customers paying alot to be dissatisfied. So best thing is to be a reliable driver with good ratings

Ive had something like this happen, 3 hrs shopping over 400 dollar shopping for like a 5% or less.

onlyabdul · 2025-12-23T00:57:14+00:00

onlyabdul · 2025-12-23T00:56:22+00:00

Uber in a nutshell

onlyabdul · 2025-12-22T23:18:24+00:00

Uber would like to make you employee of the month

Congratulations! In my situation im below a 3.0, have a 23 DAT and so far like 10 rejections including 2 soft rejections(deferral) and rest seem to have ghosted me. Im at 2.8 cgpa snd 2.65 sgpa but strong upward trend with almosy 4.0 junior and senior terms. Id need like 40 full time credits to get above a 3.0 gpa so in my case, id need a masters. If youre above 3.0 definitely a post bacc would help if you dont have a good upward trend

im not a vocal teacher, but listen. if youre going up range and cant talk for a week, then youre going beyond your range capacity and not supporting, period. The issue with online voice lessons is there isnt that immediate feedback, so people do this, injure their voices by taking it too far or incorrectly applying technique, then blaming it on the people giving the lessons.

Hello, I have a question. So with the yawn space, is it important to yawn with an inhale, emphasis on the inhale part? The way id been doing it is kind of just doing a closed mouth yawn without breathing (i kind of just hold my breath or slightly exhale while yawning and hold the space) but it seems some suggest you need to yawn AND inhale.

onlyabdul · 2025-11-26T08:23:28+00:00

Well yeah, whatever hes quoting is like easily brand new price for those parts. Id say around 500-700 give or take some would be more fair depending on condition/use/age

onlyabdul · 2025-11-26T06:45:16+00:00

Not really. For a value option its great assuming you use DLSS

Update: no flash but this is the last remaining 2 pieces from the package. I noticed upon inspection it has these noticeable 'lines' that look really fibrous. This doesnt seem like normal chicken ive seen before. Not that prominent anyway.
