lol, just cancel if you gotta, no need to engage the customer that way. For what it’s worth, I gave up delivering UE about 6 months ago because it’s crap
Seems pointless accepting it then berating the person about it then immediately cancelling. $11 for 30 miles is a solid pass (since that would be 37 cents per mile), but why go out of the way to be a dick to the person? I would just not accept it at all. The person can now go and report you for being a dick to them and then UE would be all over you for it.
The longest delivery I've gotten was 8 mi away and I always made sure to tip handsomely any time I ordered it because I know that's a long way. 30 mi is insane..
The problem lies entirely on Uber, whether it’s the slave wages for the insane distances or the routing in and of itself. Like, how and why is does Uber send orders to the furthest restaurant when there is clearly a closer restaurant?
Most people tip in relation to distance and don’t realize that it’s so fucking far, but I may be giving the benefit of the doubt when I shouldn’t.
Why accept it if you are going to cancel? The driver is a pos here. It’s contract work that nobody forces you to do. Some being so shitty at the ones you do accept.
Also I’m a driver but a lot customers don’t double check the location I had a 17 mile KFC today and explained to him nicely why it was taking so long and he assumed he had ordered from the one by his home but they were closed. I then nicely explained to always click the restaurant and double check where it is. He even offered to cancel but by that time I already waited 25 min in the drive thru line and didn’t want to waste my time and gas. I had a door dash order from the KFC as well and they were a street over from one another so I basically took both 17 miles north for $46 which why I accepted it.
I also only took KFC orders so I could do my Amazon grocery shopping etc as KFC drive thru always slow af and it gave me the time I needed to handle some biz without declining orders lol
I’m a customer and I check . I also make sure that I’m ordering from the closest one. Because Uber trys to pick one that’s like 20 miles away . When I have one down the street .
If I was the customer then I'd be cringing a little inside just from how many posts I see like this for other apps. I wouldn't intentionally order from this far away but then again I'm not potentially ignorant like some customers seem to be
From the driver's perspective, why the heck did you take it then? I'd only take an order paying that low and send a message like that if I was chaotic quitting and wanted to go out with a bang.
My guess on point at the moment is being too low on post karma to post somewhere else. I don't disagree either but the decline button is just as easy to reach than the accept one.
Taking it out on the customer is never okay. Why do people like this sort of behavior? It just makes you look like an asshole. This kind of text is like announcing on Facebook that you're leaving Facebook. You don't need to monologue and fuck off, you can just fuck off. Like don't even accept the order. Hitting that decline button is good enough. More people need to worry less about the ratings and just decline the shit orders. How hard is that? 🤦♀️
Yee, I just got like a $6 for 20 mile "offer" today. I'm screenshoting them all to compile them and make a post eventually I guess of these stupid orders lol
How weird, yeah they pay shit but tbh its contract work and you don’t have to accept every order that comes your way. Be smart. Make your pay work for you considering time for trip + trip amount. Uber drivers stop being weird.
How weird?? If I got a message like that from my driver I would report. No one is forcing OP to take the order and it’s really Ubers fault for not paying enough not the customer lmfao
I know the person personally who sent it. I am also a driver and sometimes customer. She was mad as could be, I have mixed feelings about doing this. I personally know of drivers that take stuff they got no business taking. crazy stuff.
Ohhh okay I see, that makes sense now. I would not send this to my customer, even if they didn’t tip me well or took my tip away, I remain as if I was under a boss or management which is myself while doing Uber eats and I want myself to look as professional as possible, to me this just looks like this person doesn’t care how anyone thinks of them and probably is the typical person to start an argument with a stranger, which is not responsible or professional in any way
I mean maybe they don’t. But it’s really not too hard to scroll up and see the distance away in miles before ordering. I personally check bcuz I base my tip off the miles (minimum $1 per mile)
Can't say if Uber is like this, but I'll have issues rather often with doordash sending my order to a location really far away when I selected a location fairly close to me. If I catch it before I'll try and change it, afterwards I'll either adjust the tip or ask them to cancel the order so I can make a new one.
I can definitely only speak for uber eats and grub hub but even then I still have to check to make sure it’s not a far away location that’s being defaulted to. But you still care enough to try and change it
30 miles is a lot for $11, but I wouldn't accept it just to write something nasty, wish uber eats would deactivate these drivers, it's over saturated as it is..Let the good drivers make betrer money..but ya, he shouldn't have accepted it..
30 mi?! Where I live, most are on scooters, or walking; two miles seems like a lot. 😆 My biggest complaint is, "Why is there always someone before me no matter the time of day; why am I never the first person?"
Omg, now I feel better. When converted to / gallon and USD, gas for me is 4.43.
Everyone is complaining around me cuz the carbon tax (Canada) that brought it to 4.43 and it’s like basically half the price of y’all.
I didn’t even know you could order food from that far away. Every time I get on UE I can only order from places at most 15-20min away from my house. Who would even wanna order food from that far away if the food was wrong you’d be shit out of luck
Why is this something that they'd yell at the customer for. How is the customer supposed to do anything about gas prices or the distance from their home.
Do you not care if you get deactivated? If you don't, then by all means keep doing this. But if you need the work, why would you accept an order just to bitch at someone? They can easily report you. Be smarter. Don't put yourself at risk over shit you won't change.
It literally tells you where you're ordering from. It's Uber's fault for allowing it, but the consumer needs to be wise to what they're buying.
"Wah my five guys fries are really soggy and the burgers are lukewarm" my brother in Christ you ordered it from 20 miles away.
The consumer is the last party to blame. From a "normie" perspective, I am talking about the guy who orders once in a blue moon, you really think he understands how Uber pay works? For all he knows, all orders get stacked due to magic algorithm
I think they were telling the customer to complain to Uber about the wait times in the hopes that if enough customers complain, Uber might start offering drivers a fair price.
The customer may have made a mistake and ordered from a restaurant 30 miles away. I have been delivering for Uber for a while now, and I've always said dont take the order if you dont like the offer. Uber gives the driver an estimate of how far the delivery will be. If you see the delivery is 30 miles away, why take it in the first place. And also why text the customer. Okay, they could have tipped a bit better, or like I said, it may have been a mistake. Like come on better offers will come. While you waste your time on a bad offer, you could have missed 2-3 better offers. I am tired of seeing delivery drivers like this. They make us look bad and scare away people from ever using the app.
I think they’re more so trying to let the customer know that $11 for 30 miles is criminal and maybe they ordered from the wrong place. The customer has no idea how much uber offers you for the trip
Yeah I agree. Drivers who take these offers just to tell off the customers who don't tip are bad for the ecosystem
The biggest problem for food delivery offers is that tipping is not the norm for rideshare. And I believe some customers are used to that scenario. Additionally, food delivery economics do not work without a generous tip
Rideshare you have driver, rider and the app that brokered the deal taking a cut. 3 parties
Restaurants you have restaurant, customer, driver and the app that brokered the deal. 4 parties
Especially now that Uber and DoorDash have increased their fees so much, not much money is left for the driver. I would assume most people at this point realize picking up the order to-go is probably 30-50 cheaper for a family of 4
So I always look at the terrible food delivery offers as necessary evils of the platform
So what did you text to that delivery person that accepted your order to deliver it, to then all of a sudden tell you to complain to uber about the long wait time and that they are cancelling your order?
For me I cancel orders and rides when a customers sends me any texts that show hostile,.ignorant, and negative behavior... I am not going to interact at that point and not deal with you at all..
Seems to me they chose not to deal with you any further for SOME reason unbeknownst to us..
Me as a customer I wouldn’t take offense. I’d probably cancel the order as that is too far, lol. I believe the algorithm messes up. I’ve gotten orders going 20 miles from for example Taco Bell, it wasn’t super late at night either (midnight). The pay was over 1$ per mile but normally I wouldn’t take those.
I've done like 3k deliveries but tbh I have no idea how the base pay is determined.
I notice patterns here and there, like sometimes I work different hours 2 different days but I'll end up with the same base pay at the end of the day, but I've never looked into it further than that.
But there has been a downward trend as to how much base pay you get for the same amount of miles you drive.
Sometimes it's $30 bucks for a 30 mile trip or even less, but most of the time it's $11 bucks for the same trip.
They lowball you a lot, it seems. Thankfully I'm in CA which has prop 22 which is a guaranteed earnings policy.
Sad everyone calls California a shithole because of its extremely skewed politics which I do agree make it shitty, but it’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I hear people often say they’ll never visit because of “how fucked it is over there”… how fucked is the whole country that politics are discouraging people from seeing amazing places.
I had a lady picking up Uber eats orders talk to me while I was waiting to pick up an order and she said the trick is to just decline until something that is worth your while comes up. I decided to give it a try and she was right, most money I've ever made was by sitting there declining and all of a sudden a $30 order will come up then even a $47 order. I made about $170 on 12 deliveries.
Another trick is to use up the entire time from accepting to drop off...because that's where Prop 22 comes into play. We get paid for our "active time"...from the moment we accept to the moment we drop off. What would you consider "worth it"?
A delivery driver who works for these third party companies can cancel taking a delivery at any point until they’ve confirmed at the restaurant that they’ve got the order in hand. Hell, some of them will take the order and rather than confirm they’ve received it, cancel it and steal the food. Which leaves the restaurant staff very confused when the next one walks in.
This has happened to me.
I don't get why anyone drives for these as the money doesn't seem great and I also don't get why people pay these fees to get cold food delivered to them
Because I need the extra money. If you know of a better paying "make your own hours" job where I can make 100 dollars in 4 hours then please let me know, I hate driving for uber in my spare time
Probably ordered from a chain restaurant, thinking it would be the one a mile away... DD decided it makes more money for you to get from somewhere else and that's where the order goes... Blame DD
😭-- wah wah don't say that! Just kidding, great job for opening people's eyes to the scam they are unwillingly taking a part in. I wish there were more drivers and customers like this.
Why not just cancel the order instead of trying to make the customer out to be the bad guy instead of Uber? Tips are just that, a tip. I always put 0 tip and then once I get my food, I decide the tip based on service. It's not customers fault that Uber doesn't pay well. Get a different job.
Oh and yes I do Uber eats
I absolutely agree but why are you literally shouting at the customer? I know Uber sees the messages, but there have to be better ways to let the customer know than yelling.
Thought?...Are you the customer? If you are, you need to be worried why your food is being delivered from a restaurant 30 miles away. That's the crime here. Who orders food 30 miles away? Maybe the customer messed up on their end, and probably needs to be warned what uber is doing. It can happen. Or, should I say it does happen.
Uber doesn’t care they just care that volume goes up. Same as all the listing of restaurants without their permission and probably illegal abuse of platform to falsely portray those who refuse to deliver via the platform as not delivering at all.
The whole company is a shit show but the reason they’re so aggressive is Uber eats is the only thing floating the boat. The way they calculate ebitda is wild. Like adding in stock comp back in even though it’s plain dilution.
Me in California saying WOW THATS SUCH A GREAT DEAL at this person upset that gas is $3.50 a gallon 😭😂😂😂😂 I ain’t ever seen gas that low a day in my LIFE ! 10 gallons for $35 sign me up!
Lot of people hating, which I get.. but I also know the feeling of seeing orders pay so low and makes me want to accept them just so I can talk to the customer and let them know what Uber is trying to pay a driver during surely charging them out the ass or at the very least letting them know why they are waiting so long for their food and how little the driver was paid if someone takes it because it won't be me. Of course I don't do that because accepting an order I have no intention of taking just to say that is a little too extra for me
“I’m so sorry. My income won’t allow me to supplement the $19 difference between the $30 it will cost me to bring this to you and the $11 that Uber will me pay for it. Good luck.”
Because they don't care, they're making the money. Then when the customer complains, uber will say you got your product delivered. It's intact enjoy. No refund for you.
lol I get this message I just request money back, report the text and move on. You’re complaining at the person but Uber is paying you that.. take your own advice and yell at Uber
lol, just cancel if you gotta, no need to engage the customer that way. For what it’s worth, I gave up delivering UE about 6 months ago because it’s crap
Seems pointless accepting it then berating the person about it then immediately cancelling. $11 for 30 miles is a solid pass (since that would be 37 cents per mile), but why go out of the way to be a dick to the person? I would just not accept it at all. The person can now go and report you for being a dick to them and then UE would be all over you for it.
That’s not even what stipend should be honestly. For taxes I think it’s like 0.65 a mile so delivery should be 19.50
$0.67 as of January 1st. No reason to take this.
Where is gas $3.50 a gallon?? I’m paying over $5 🥲
2.99 for me
Gasp! Where?
Texas
Ohio
Florida
Anywhere outside of a huge city in the midwest
It’s $3.79 in my area this week. It’ll probably be $4.39 by next weekend tho lol
3.40-50 in texas rn
Pretty often it’s under $3 in CO https://www.gasbuddy.com/gaspricemap
Uber allowing these long trips for less then min wage should be illegal...
Why are 30 mile deliveries even allowed? The restaurants would never send a driver that far.
The longest delivery I've gotten was 8 mi away and I always made sure to tip handsomely any time I ordered it because I know that's a long way. 30 mi is insane..
That’s you Sir Lesbian, however others are not quite as conscientious as our, barely, gender ambiguous lord

Most people tip in relation to distance and don’t realize that it’s so fucking far, but I may be giving the benefit of the doubt when I shouldn’t.
Uber gets a cut whether you lose money or not. So of course they’ll do it. It’s about their profits and absolutely nothing else.
I want to know where gas is $3.50 a gallon! That’s a steal!
Here in New York it’s been between $3.25 and $3.50
In central NY I can't get anything under 3.50. The 4 closest places are at 3.62
Why do you have to tell them you’re canceling just cancel
Why accept it if you are going to cancel? The driver is a pos here. It’s contract work that nobody forces you to do. Some being so shitty at the ones you do accept.

My guess on point at the moment is being too low on post karma to post somewhere else. I don't disagree either but the decline button is just as easy to reach than the accept one.
They’re a contractor. Even if they can’t set their prices, it’s their right to reject the job.
Taking it out on the customer is never okay. Why do people like this sort of behavior? It just makes you look like an asshole.

Confused did you message the person who ordered food this???
[удалено]
How weird?? If I got a message like that from my driver I would report. No one is forcing OP to take the order and it’s really Ubers fault for not paying enough not the customer lmfao
I’m confused is this not you sending that? It says read under it
I know the person personally who sent it. I am also a driver and sometimes customer. She was mad as could be, I have mixed feelings about doing this. I personally know of drivers that take stuff they got no business taking. crazy stuff.
Ohhh okay I see, that makes sense now.

Time is money and this fool is over here accepting bad orders so he can msg them then unassign? What a joke.
Well he ain't wrong, Uber really be underpaying their workers like crazy
they can pay that little since theres so many drivers.
bitches will berate customers like this, then wonder why they don’t get tips lmao
Hope the bad feedback and incoming chat with customer service was worth it! Not the customer's fault gas is so bad!
30 miles is a lot for $11, but I wouldn't accept it just to write something nasty, wish uber eats would deactivate these drivers, it's over saturated as it is..Let the good drivers make betrer money..but ya, he shouldn't have accepted it..
customer laughed. reordered. and it got delivered.
[удалено]
30 mi?! Where I live, most are on scooters, or walking; two miles seems like a lot. 😆 My biggest complaint is, "Why is there always someone before me no matter the time of day; why am I never the first person?"
Why accept it?
$3.50??? It's $4.50 here RIP
$5 here in the Inland Empire.🙃
The bus is looking more and more enticing. If only it ran 24/7 🥲
If only the gallon was 3.50 where I live..
$5.39 USD where I live
7.19$ here :)))
Omg where are you?! If you feel comfortable sharing that is.
France, that price is literally why the gilet jaune existed
Omg, now I feel better. When converted to / gallon and USD, gas for me is 4.43. Everyone is complaining around me cuz the carbon tax (Canada) that brought it to 4.43 and it’s like basically half the price of y’all.
🤮
Uber eats doesn’t pay enough and it’s not the customers fault, it’s a shit deal.
Driver is wasting his own time where he can just decline and move on.
It’s true but taking it out on customers doesn’t help anything
You'll get deactivated for good cause by doing this. If you want to get the story out properly, contract your local news crew.
I didn’t even know you could order food from that far away. Every time I get on UE I can only order from places at most 15-20min away from my house. Who would even wanna order food from that far away if the food was wrong you’d be shit out of luck
I once picked up an order for 2 cups of ice cream. Their house was about 45 minutes from the ice cream shop. Enjoy your milk soup I guess.
That’s crazy to me 😭 I wouldn’t even buy ice cream myself if I was 45 min away from my own house
WHy is this the customer's problem? Don't take the order.
You said this to a passenger, took a screenshot and then posted it to Reddit with the caption "thoughts"? Total cringe 💯
[удалено]
Cheaper than $3.50 where I am.
5.50 for my car
Yes, gas is $4.89 per gallon
That is an automatic NO for me, but then again…I only do food deliveries. Gas is over $4 here.
Just cancel and move on...
Why is this something that they'd yell at the customer for. How is the customer supposed to do anything about gas prices or the distance from their home.
I wonder how big the hidden tip was on this. I had a hidden tip today that ended up being 30 bucks.
Problem is Uber shouldn't be hiding tips
Converted to gallons in alberta, canada were paying roughly 6.25 cad or 4.25us
It's 4.99 here in Sacramento, and that is the cheapest. Most places its 5.59 now
In the UK it works out about 8 usd a gallon :(
That's what it is in Vegas.
Oh fuck, you got that cheap gas $5.87 equivalent here in BC
Did you think that this was a productive use of your time that anybody would find intriguing, thought-provoking, or make you look smart?
Do you not care if you get deactivated? If you don't, then by all means keep doing this. But if you need the work, why would you accept an order just to bitch at someone? They can easily report you. Be smarter. Don't put yourself at risk over shit you won't change.
What the hell is messaging customer this going to do? You’re the asshole bruh
Looks like a good way to get deactivated if they complain.
They’re right.
3.50? Bruh we here getting 5 dollar a gal
In my area fucking thing is going to 6. It went from 4.30 to 5.60 in a matter of weeks. Like wtf is this.
You're taking out your frustrations with UBER pay on the customer?
Over in the doordash driver subreddit .. yes. Yes they most certainly do lol
If you don't like the pay, don't take the order. Grow the fuck up.
Lol this type of behavior will get them deactivated. So it will sort itself out. All txts and calls are monitored.
Okay but why you mad at the costumer like it’s their fault?????
For selling shitty costumes
Because they’re tipping less than 10 dollars when they live 30 fucking miles away from the restaurant
It literally tells you where you're ordering from. It's Uber's fault for allowing it, but the consumer needs to be wise to what they're buying. "Wah my five guys fries are really soggy and the burgers are lukewarm" my brother in Christ you ordered it from 20 miles away.

Someone could take it that way and absolutely take their business to another app God I fucking hope they do
I mean he is cancelling but why'd they take it in the first place? Also why are they complaining about you complaining about the wait time?
I think they were telling the customer to complain to Uber about the wait times in the hopes that if enough customers complain, Uber might start offering drivers a fair price.

Tree fity
I mean in all fairness they said what we all want to say but won’t. Here gas just jumped from 2.56 to 3.18 within a month
30 mile is like many is like more in km In the Netherlands you get €11 for a 3 km ride
stupid. don’t take the order
I mean did the customer even do anything or say anything first lol? Seems like you took your anger out on a random person for no reason.
So what did you text to that delivery person that accepted your order to deliver it, to then all of a sudden tell you to complain to uber about the long wait time and that they are cancelling your order? For me I cancel orders and rides when a customers sends me any texts that show hostile,.ignorant, and negative behavior... I am not going to interact at that point and not deal with you at all..

Why did u even take it.
If you don’t want it, don’t take it. Stop being so dramatic over it and move to what makes you money
cringe driver
Gas is $4.60 where I am :/
$5.39 today 
Why are you ordering food from 30 miles away? And are you aware of how low UE’s pay to the driver is?
Forget that, the food gonna be cold
Me as a customer I wouldn’t take offense. I’d probably cancel the order as that is too far, lol. I believe the algorithm messes up. I’ve gotten orders going 20 miles from for example Taco Bell, it wasn’t super late at night either (midnight). The pay was over 1$ per mile but normally I wouldn’t take those.
All i heard was tree fiddy.
Bro became kanye
I’ve never done Uber eats and don’t know how it works. That pay you only $11 dollars to go on a 60 mile round trip delivery?
I've done like 3k deliveries but tbh I have no idea how the base pay is determined. I notice patterns here and there, like sometimes I work different hours 2 different days but I'll end up with the same base pay at the end of the day, but I've never looked into it further than that.

5.35 in cali if ur lucky
And i get 15 mile trips for $4 🥲
Gas is $5.50 here bro 😭
Can I have 3.5/gal gas please? Shits 5.80/gal here in northern Cali.
Shit shot up fast too. It was 4 a gallon a month and a half ago.
Sad everyone calls California a shithole because of its extremely skewed politics which I do agree make it shitty, but it’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet. I hear people often say they’ll never visit because of “how fucked it is over there”… how fucked is the whole country that politics are discouraging people from seeing amazing places.

I had a lady picking up Uber eats orders talk to me while I was waiting to pick up an order and she said the trick is to just decline until something that is worth your while comes up. I decided to give it a try and she was right, most money I've ever made was by sitting there declining and all of a sudden a $30 order will come up then even a $47 order. I made about $170 on 12 deliveries.
Another trick is to use up the entire time from accepting to drop off...because that's where Prop 22 comes into play. We get paid for our "active time"...from the moment we accept to the moment we drop off. What would you consider "worth it"?
A real person bringing awareness to what is going on in a service that is needed.
I bet you it just pisses most people off.
Just bring me my mf food.. don’t y’all pick the orders you take? Don’t take it if it isn’t satisfactory😭
A delivery driver who works for these third party companies can cancel taking a delivery at any point until they’ve confirmed at the restaurant that they’ve got the order in hand. Hell, some of them will take the order and rather than confirm they’ve received it, cancel it and steal the food. Which leaves the restaurant staff very confused when the next one walks in. This has happened to me.
I don't get why anyone drives for these as the money doesn't seem great and I also don't get why people pay these fees to get cold food delivered to them
Because I need the extra money. If you know of a better paying "make your own hours" job where I can make 100 dollars in 4 hours then please let me know, I hate driving for uber in my spare time
Gas is $5+ here wtf 😒
You in California I'm gonna guess?
Probably ordered from a chain restaurant, thinking it would be the one a mile away... DD decided it makes more money for you to get from somewhere else and that's where the order goes... Blame DD
😭-- wah wah don't say that! Just kidding, great job for opening people's eyes to the scam they are unwillingly taking a part in. I wish there were more drivers and customers like this.
I didn’t know it was possible to cancel a Uber eats order as a driver In my limited experience it’s a hostage situation
Lol! This makes me laugh because every-time I have to cancel one I literally get so flustered and panic trying to figure out how to cancel it.
Dude just decline orders you don’t want
How much is the CEO's salary? I bet he can have half go to workers and still be insanely rich, but workers would have significantly better pay
Right but if they paid more, more talented people would come in and take over.
SAVAGE BRO
Not cool for a driver to deliver that.
So unprofessional and just plain sad lol Either take it or don't... Why even except? Just to say that...
I guess to hopefully prevent this person from crying to Reddit asking why their order took three hours and multiple drivers before it was delivered.
Why not just cancel the order instead of trying to make the customer out to be the bad guy instead of Uber? Tips are just that, a tip. I always put 0 tip and then once I get my food, I decide the tip based on service. It's not customers fault that Uber doesn't pay well. Get a different job. Oh and yes I do Uber eats
As it should be. The downvotes of the uber employees expecting massive tips for subpar service is hilarious.
Are you the driver or customer?. Did you tip well? I'm curious to how much the base pay was for that trip
Got one today also lol I know there was a closer AZ to Tacoma which is where this was being delivered to lol
Uber eats and other food delivery apps should pay for the driver’s gas!
I absolutely agree but why are you literally shouting at the customer? I know Uber sees the messages, but there have to be better ways to let the customer know than yelling.
Get a real job
get a real job, fam
Thought?...Are you the customer? If you are, you need to be worried why your food is being delivered from a restaurant 30 miles away. That's the crime here. Who orders food 30 miles away? Maybe the customer messed up on their end, and probably needs to be warned what uber is doing. It can happen. Or, should I say it does happen.
Uber doesn’t care they just care that volume goes up. Same as all the listing of restaurants without their permission and probably illegal abuse of platform to falsely portray those who refuse to deliver via the platform as not delivering at all. The whole company is a shit show but the reason they’re so aggressive is Uber eats is the only thing floating the boat. The way they calculate ebitda is wild. Like adding in stock comp back in even though it’s plain dilution.
These are the drivers that will complain in a week about how they got booted off the app and have no idea why.
Bruh I’d call them a fucking bitch if they decide to report this shit
Bruh you'd be fired.
Me in California saying WOW THATS SUCH A GREAT DEAL at this person upset that gas is $3.50 a gallon 😭😂😂😂😂 I ain’t ever seen gas that low a day in my LIFE ! 10 gallons for $35 sign me up!
Incredibly cringey.
Lot of people hating, which I get.. but I also know the feeling of seeing orders pay so low and makes me want to accept them just so I can talk to the customer and let them know what Uber is trying to pay a driver during surely charging them out the ass or at the very least letting them know why they are waiting so long for their food and how little the driver was paid if someone takes it because it won't be me. Of course I don't do that because accepting an order I have no intention of taking just to say that is a little too extra for me
Three fiddy!? 🤣
Yeah that is trash, tip must 1$
0.
Did you accept the job just to complain and cancel it? Why accept to begin with?
I wish gas where i live was 3.50 a gallon
Agreed . Paying $5.19 here in SoCal
Such weirdo behavior just don’t take the trip
“I’m so sorry. My income won’t allow me to supplement the $19 difference between the $30 it will cost me to bring this to you and the $11 that Uber will me pay for it. Good luck.”
Snapped
$3.50 a gallon must be nice while we have $5.50 here 😂
Respect. Somebody has to educate these people and obviously Uber isnt going to do it
bro we dont care about your gas and stuff thats your responsibility lmao
3.50?! It’s 4.29 where i am. Take that ride!
I mean I got distracted by the $3.50 because I’m over here paying $4.26 in the Chi. 🤔
Same here....$3.50??? $5.50 in Los Angeles if you're lucky!
Damn! I haven’t seen $3.50 in years… here is over 5
How is it the customer's fault? Just going off on your customers? Its not all their fault for UBER being a greedy company.
[удалено]
Gas is 6$ here
I’m in Tahoe and it’s 6.30$
Yeah its rough
In Reno NV it's almost back up at 5 again 😭 I haven't seen 3.50 in years. I wish
Damm it's about $1 for me but my car uses CNG which is $0.15. I don't live in the US though.
Why is Uber eats even allowing an order from that far away. If it’s prepared food it’s going to be ice cold.
Because they don't care, they're making the money. Then when the customer complains, uber will say you got your product delivered. It's intact enjoy. No refund for you.
lol I get this message I just request money back, report the text and move on. You’re complaining at the person but Uber is paying you that.. take your own advice and yell at Uber
For sure. Let them throw their little tantrum at me- I just screenshot and report.
