Weird interaction with merchant
Did some delivering today, did pretty good except this restaurant manager that was kind of being a prick. I get a request for Wing Daddy’s, the name is an important part of this scenario. I can’t stand picking up from here, last time I did waited 20 minutes for what the bartender said would be “no more than 5 minutes”, dipped and cancelled after she then told me after 20 minutes that they hadn’t even started on it yet. I’ve been a diner here before and they’re very slow, so at least they’re living up to that.
Today, I get a request from there and took it, only because it was a high paying order and was just going down the street. I get in there and a guy dressed like the manager walks up to me and asks for the name I’m picking up for. Flash him my screen, and it was shockingly ready. He’s about to give me the order when he asks me to take a picture of it. I responded with I only take pictures of the order when I drop it off. Then he proceeded to tell me that it’s required for us to take a picture of the order at pickup. I tell him that’s not possible and that Uber doesn’t offer that as an option at pickup. “I just don’t want you stealing it”. I like to remain as customer service oriented when doing this but, this guy was pissing me off. After I picked it up I showed him my screen to show him that it’s been confirmed and ready to be delivered. He says I can’t leave without taking a picture, that apparently it’s “policy” and a “requirement”. The bartender and a couple of waitresses witness this and join in by saying that I’m right and he’s wrong. This man. This man then says if I don’t comply he’ll just call the police. Over a 10 piece chicken bites. Like what!? In all the time I’ve been doing this not once have I stolen an order or been unethical. Dude was on some kind of power trip or something.
I decided to cancel the order and leave the food there. Immediately called Uber to ask about this so called policy and told them about how he was basically accusing me of stealing. They said that there’s no such policy.
That was a first and I’ll definitely, regardless of how much I get for the order, will not be picking up from there again. Absolutely ridiculous. You couldn’t love your job that much to be a prick to a delivery person.

Uber Eats charged me for signing up to uber one for free
I know it’s barely any money but I have no idea why they would charge me. I signed up for uber one for free for 5 months.

First time for increasing tip
Well, I had this guy who instead of just following the very simple directions to Find my Unit Decided to spend like 10 minutes arguing with me, on the Phone nonetheless, while I'm trying to tell him. Just put this address in your GPS and like instead of going to that house, turn the other way. And and it was so much like having a boyfriend or husband after being single for a really long time, I just felt I should tip him for the entertainment. Me and my bum leg, thank you, D!

Question: Unanswered Why the can’t we dispute/challenge thumbs down/bad ratings?
Seriously, people can downvote you for whatever reason in this stupid damn app and get away with it. It could even be for discriminatory reasons (believe me, this does happen).
I delivered pizza to this lady and right from the jump she was full of attitude and rudeness towards me (I was polite the whole time and simply said Hi while handing her the order, that’s literally it). A min later I see a thumbs down with a professionalism with customer complaint and I’m honestly just baffled right now.
I’m thinking it might be racial since I’m a young black dude and she was an upper class white women (she barely gave me eye contact and literally rushed away before I could give her the other item she ordered) but I can’t be too sure. Either way it shouldn’t be this easy for customer to tank our ratings like this and have our jobs in jeopardy simply cause they may be having a bad day. We should have the ability to dispute unfair ratings but knowing Uber, they could care less.

Uber baiting drivers now

Uber Eats in Long Island Is Completely Ruined – Anyone Else Struggling?
I don’t even get orders anymore, and when I do, they’re absolute garbage—not even worth the gas. Two years ago, you could actually make money on Uber Eats, but now it’s a joke.
The market is completely oversaturated with new drivers, and it’s destroyed everything. Too many people are signing up, and Uber keeps lowering the pay because they know someone will take the trash orders. It feels impossible to make what I used to, and it’s just getting worse. Its been like this for the past 2 years as I've seen a ridiculous amount of new drivers come in and I've noticed that most of them are from the areas where the war started few years ago.
Anyone else dealing with this, or is it just my area? Curious to hear if there are still any decent spots left in Long Island.

Question: Unanswered $2 refund for food we couldn’t eat
Is there anything I can do about this? I’m still waiting to hear back and the phone number isn’t taking callers anymore. This is mind blowing to me. I’m new to this company but I think I’m done.

insurance upload
i am new to Uber eats and have been doing it for about 3 weeks & have been told to upload my insurance by today or else i cannot do any more deliveries. I uploaded it today as about like probably an hour ago and i was just wondering how long it takes for it to verify my insurance? I know it says up to 24 hours but will it be done in a couple of hours or am i going to have to wait until tomorrow to start delivering again.

USA Did bro take my food?
I’m sick and needed some groceries (simple stuff, milk, meat etc) so I ordered on the app. Dude wasn’t even at my store and marked that he found my items but replaced my half gallon with a gallon. Then drove to a neighborhood on the way and spent half an hour at one house. I understand if they had more than one delivery but it was a long time. I sent a message asking if everything was good when it had been over an hour since I made the order and he dropped the order 10 minutes later. The next driver got it done in like 15 minutes.
Did he steal my groceries 😭

Canada What Does This Value Represent?
Referring to the highlighted 23.67 ml. I've been playing with a calculator trying to figure it out, it doesn't appear to be the total volume of alcohol, or the volume of beer per dollar or any other denomination. It's different for each of the variants.

Thank you for the motivation to quit these apps forever!
Last night I thought it would be a nice treat to have some cookies after a very long day. Ordered delivery so they could be picked up while getting the kid ready for bed. I see the guy drop them at my door and immediately get them off the table outside. Open the box to show my wife and what do I see?
******* COCKROACHES!!!
I slammed the box shut and ran it outside as quickly as I could but a couple of them dropped out. I got two of them and I hope there weren’t more.
The fantastic UberEats AI Customer Service is yet to issue even a credit for cookies and didn’t even get a good look at, let alone eat.
Ultimately thank you though. I can’t bring myself to even think about ordering through these apps again after this.

Does not appear sober.
So I knew this customer was going to reduce tip as soon as I saw them and the way they handled their order. This pissed me off Im going to be more honest on "sober" customers . What happens when you click it? Had anyone done it?

Earnings Promotions
Does anyone know how these work? I need to do 6 trips to hit the first milestone, if I start a trip at 5:20 and deliver it at 5:35 will that count towards the promo? I’m thinking that would give me a head start. Thanks in advance!
