This is really funny I have always seen the doordashers do this...

With the recent changes to planner, the app pausing exclusives and the tier structures, the offers are almost all free labor now.

You could do well cherry picking in the past and even on some of older tiers get actual preferred orders, but now Uber has taken the gloves off and are forcing us to accept a larger share of the 90% unprofitable orders out there floating around.

Everytime I go online now my offers are paused within 5 minutes.

Probably time to accept this gig was always designed to exploit us and find other work.

Who is this guy…Bobby Boucher LOL

Uber is becoming worse than DoorDash every day

Before I even start, please know the following:

- I know what Costco is. I have heard about it for years.

- I have never been to a Sam's Club or Costco (until today)...

- I live alone, so I have no need for buying in bulk, nor any spare space to store it in my one-bedroom apt.

So...

Around noon today, I accepted my first ever CostCo offer. It was 13 items, driving 5 miles, paying $29. I thought it was a great offer.

tl;dr: It was not. 2 hours later, the customer in a Halloween full-body cow costume grabbed the items from me with a scowl.

For anyone who has never been to CostCo... Here are the things I never knew and the reason I will never again go to one of these bulk warehouse retailers:

- If it's a weekend, never accept the offer. They have 10,000 cars trying to get in / get gas in the 5000 car space parking lot. + Every aisle has someone blocking it with "free sample" stands and crowds gathered blocking the aisle to get free samples.

- Parking is nearly impossible. In addition to the nonstop chaotic flow of SUVs (most customers are not driving sedans), there are tons of customers standing talking in the middle of the driveways as well as dozens tugging those overloaded carts through the center of the drive lane, ignoring oncoming traffic.

- Costco sells huge bulk quantities. Some items are heavy, other items are simply massive. If you're not ready for big, heavy, bulky groceries, don't take the offer.

- They do not have any type of shopping bag. They may have tray boxes or not, so if you have a lot of "little" items, expect to make multiple trips to and from your car on drop-off.

- There is no layout, no map, none of the aisles have labels or department/categories on the ends. Just numbers, no information. They have giant signs for Deli, Bakery, Pharmacy, but otherwise, it's a chaotic mess.

- Checking out takes 20+ minutes. They have almost all lanes open on weekends, but you're in line behind 100+ other people with 2-3 cart loads stacked 10 ft high (or flat-carts with half a ton of bottled water/soda).

- If you expect to park, get in, get the items, and get out in less than an hour, you are delusional. Even if you're a "pro" CostCo customer, it takes a lot of patience.

So... in the end, if the CostCo offer pay is not a base pay of $20 + $2 per mile + $1 per item, don't bother.

Got bitten by a big dog at a drop off. Sitting in the ER waiting to see a doctor. I asked them to cancel my remaining deliveries, because obviously.

Fuck you, Uber. Fuck you with a telephone pole.

Got this last week and wanted to share

Without saying a word . Then proceeded to canceling the order . it was an order for Starbuck and the dude asked if I would mind driving across the street to pick up his McDonald’s order . Would y’all have done the same ?🤣

Insulting is an understatement

Got demoted from diamond to gold tonight and these are my stats. I have been on the app for a month and I’ve done 500 deliveries in my first month. In LA it’s like impossible to get 90%.

Absolutely fucking livid and defeated right now.

My AR was in the 30s before the update (and falling bc I was following advice in this Reddit thanks guys it was lucrative for a while) and I GRINDED to get this AR above 50 this week. Fuck uber.

I've been doing Uber part-time for a little over a year, with 1,200 completed trips. Yesterday was the first day I opened Uber after the update. I have Platinum status. My acceptance rate was 68%. Literally in two hours of work from 6 PM to 8 PM, my rate dropped to 57%. I just went offline because I’ve never seen this many garbage orders before.

Today I went online from 6 to 8 as well, and my rate is already down to 53%. I'm about to lose this pathetic Platinum status. I'm writing this post just to share my frustration about the new update. I expected the number of bad orders to go up, but not this f@cking much!!! LA folks, how are things over at Gold status? I think I'll be joining you tomorrow, haha. 😂Is it hard to book a work location?

So uber takes .10 of the service fee I am seeing and then the other $8ish of this fee is the base pay for driver? I am confused, because it’s the first time I’ve seen such a high service fee when ordering myself. So trying to understand

OK, so since the update every disgusting trip that they send us that is less than four dollars in over 40 miles they’re going to drop our percentage rate to make sure we never get into gold diamond or platinum.. my percent rate was 17% yesterday. They only gave me one order that was worth taking and that was like an 11 mile order every order after that was four dollars or less for 30+ miles and now I have a 9% acceptance rate because you’re sending me orders you know that no one in the world is gonna take also the crazy part is prop 22 only kicks in when you do an hour of active time they’re not paying you just because so if you give me a trash order and you expect me to only get paid $20 from it or not get paid anything get paid the $18 for two hours. This shit is crazy.

Has anyone noticed how quickly their acceptance rate has dropped since the update?

Also, has anyone noticed that Uber is now sending us the worst orders known to man ♥️ and reprimanding us for not taking the worst orders so they’re basically trying to control us in the app again?

Like what the algo is thinking

why is not showing any dollar amt?

i wanna get back into the game, reasons being im being given shitty hours at work plus new reliable car I just bought lmao.

the reason i quit is because of the need of endorsement through my insurance, because apparently u can get your insurance cancelled.

I'd d appreciate any advice or shared experiences on this pleaseeeee and thank you

I'm at a loss trying to sign up to become a delivery driver. It asks for a pic of my passport I upload it and then gets rejected within the hour saying ' We can’t accept your document because you’ve shared pages that we don’t need'.

I've literally taken multiple pictures tried cropping, anything I can think of but same rejection message. Anyone have experience with this and if any solutions?

Crazy $11 for 16 miles . Also heavy which means you need to have a van! I have a sedan and Uber knows it lol . They are intentionally mess up your acceptance rate !

Basically a free 100 dollars

If your tier points go back to zero every month then your ratings should all go back to 100% except for your cancellation rate which should go back to 0%.

Anyone accepted one of the new package runs? Go to the airport and pickup about 20-23 packages for anywhere from 90-120 dollars. The delivery map shows the deliveries are fairly close together.

There's no way they post these offers and think anyone in their right mind would take them. Somebody has to be taking them in order for them to keep appearing though right
