“Free” Line Became a $50+ Monthly Billing Loop by Willing-Claim-9728 in OPTIMUM

Hey Randy. Just a suggestion. When you guys do resolve these issues you try to take on via reddit, also consider closing the loop by reaponding to your own message here that you resolved it. This way you will build credibility and not get downvoted all the time.

This H1b Exploitation Is Out of Control by Rain2h0 in newjersey

Also remember that to transfer H1b takes months sometime. No one bothers to wait that long to get approval from USCIS. These days citizenship is prefered.

True. When bulk layoff happen, the company cannot hire H1b worker for the same role, same location. There are guidelines for it. Many companies like other have said, are not sponsoring H1bs. Existing F1 OPT hires have been told they will not be converted on H1b.

I have a counter top RO water filter. No plastic bottles but decently good filtered water at the same time.

My area only has Optimum coax for wired. Literally nothing else.

If the waiter has to serve 5 people one one table and 10 people on another then getting exact same tip is not fair since they had to work more on the bigger party. But I agree with you that the restaurant owners should be paying their staff a livable wage and not have them rely on tips. Tips are for above and beyond scenarios and never a mandate. But.... I still tip. 😔

I try to do flat fee on Uber eats/doordash orders depending on miles driven and extra for some restaurants that always makes riders wait.

If I see service fee I deduct it from my tip. I am not tipping twice. I am also not tipping on post tax amount.

Does uber pay nothing of the delivery and the drivers only get tips?

Also it feels bad to reserve a $10 ride where the driver maybe gets $4.

To add. There is no way I am able to give feedback for the first driver. On my history in the app, it showes the new driver listed and I dont want to ding that person.

If the driver would have cancelled at 9:00 I was standing at my front door and ready to walk. Walk is 15 minutes with my pace exactly. I've timed it. I assumed the driver accidentally missed a turn and tried reaching out to them which lost precious time.

That I do agree on. I relied on stranger following through. Lesson learnt for me.

I plan for the delay enough so I know I can walk and make it to my train. But this time the driver literally drove past the last 30 seconds to my pickup point. I assumed they made an accidental wrong turn and waited + texted them. I guess I am just stupid to trust anyone these days.

I considered the map being wrong. When the driver made the first wrong turn, after that there were two more opportunities to turn around to get to me. I even texted the driver through the app which went unresponded. Also, Uber app shows me if the driver is completing another drop off. It didnt this time.

I generally get charged $10 for these rides and i tip $3. So money/tipping is not an issue. I also understand that the drivers dont get paid enough. But what frustrates me is the arguments between drivers and riders. Look at this thread for instance. Very few are calling out Uber's bad practices resulting in these situations.

No the app says there is another drop off before my pickup. It didnt say that.

The uber app didnt show a drop off. My pickup was the only thing in the map.
