I was talking to a customer support person about this same issue the other day. I asked her if she would take orders like that, she said she would if she needed the money.
@@B_Bodziak and if you have to travel dead miles back then it’s costing you$13.40 for that trip. And it’s costing you the good orders are missing during that time. (I’ve gotten plenty of bangers / relatively speaking like $13 for 2.8 miles and with the head and tip it actually was $25 for like 15 minutes of work/ right after declining a couple of crap ones and even a mediocre one and I’m at 6% AR right now. Normally I hover between 18 and 22.) so many of these orders would literally be charity, because they would cost us more than the order is paying. And while I know, they only seem to show eight dollars for 3 miles, which I’ve had go up to different next-door neighbors that happened to be the same day both said eight dollars for exactly 3 miles; one went up from 8 to 14 upon completion. The other one up from eight dollars to 850 when I completed the order drop off. But I just assume the ones that are like over 10 miles and not even nearly a dollar a mile, will not be going up because they would show more of it. One thing I assumed which I was wrong about was that if it was a strange number like not ending in a quarter amount ie 7.25 or 7.50 or 7.75… but any odd change number I always just assumed would not be going up. But I have since seen on a few occasions watching on here that they do indeed go up sometimes despite the strange number that you would just assume was the shopping every penny. Not saying they went up a lot I don’t even recall how much. But I still would never take one. I was not OK with as is because as soon as you assume it’s going to go up it never does. And final thought : even for top Dasher or platinum Dasher, when they do show the high pay banner or the diamond banner for a while… which can be four dollars for 2 miles but aside from that they just mean per mile, even then, they don’t always put the banner on the ones offering more per mile or the plus sign when it’s gonna go up. (which I can go up one penny I’ve seen all tho the lowest I’ve had to go up is a quarter lol) because even for their most prolific drivers who take a lot of crap to get the occasional banger banger, they still want to play head games so that they always wonder if it will go up. 🤦🏻♀️
I’m not gonna say that the head games Don’t occasionally work, bc yesterday I had a 1.4 mile Dairy Queen for $5.50 and I thought well they can only show so much per mile. If they’ll show eight dollars for 3 miles Idk but this was early before dinner rush and I have had them show me $7.25 for just under a mile. (I was around the corner from the restaurant at the house was .9 miles.) but that was during busier dinner hour. And that one went up to 21 and change. So I thought this one has a good chance of going up because I mean at like 4 PM or whatever it was maybe even three (I would have to check) maybe that was the most they would show for a mile a mile and a half. But alas. Nice, nice house and all so it just figures that that one did not go up. That’s why I always just assume it’s gonna be what they offer. That’s the second time I had a strong feeling that was gonna go up and if I declined it waiting for a bigger order, that I would’ve missed out on something (because the times that I went on ones that went up a lot I was like it’s a good thing I accepted this one maybe I was not quite in the mood to do another delivery or whatever the case that I would’ve even possibly not done it) if I didn’t take it because I thought it would probably go up and it’s a second time I’ve been wrong. 😂 so now, no matter how far or short the ride is, I will only assume that what they’re offering is what it’s paying. Anything else is just gravy to jump up and down about after. If it happens, but you definitely cannot count on it. If they are showing less than the whole amount for some of these very far and upside down rides, it’s so unfair to the customer!!! because they could’ve gotten their food a lot faster if DD actually showed the amount, and from what I’ve heard, Uber eats is hiding tips too now. 😮
They way this app look at it is how many miles you drove and how much you got pay in tips and base paid, if it's more than 1 dillar a mile you didn't take a loss
@Leroyjenkins999 but you have to consider the mileage [to and from] as a means to properly Guage whether or not a particular run benefits the driver. If it does, then great. I'm not saying every run will be equal or fantastic, but there needs to be a base in which the driver won't have to operate at a loss from certain distances that based on the customer's order would necessitate a minimum order to make it worth the trip. Remember, there is wear and tear on the car going out and coming back, plus any other operationally related costs.
@avatarinum I make my money at the end of the day and it's usually more than 3 bucks a mile, tip or no tip I make my money at the end of the day when I add it up per mile and what I made
Idk what State you're in because minimum wage varies depending on the state you live in..in California where I'm at in southern CA. Is currently 15 dollars per hour but in los Angeles is higher than 15 and also in northern California. We have probably the highest rent and highest gas prices and anything under 6 dollars should be illegal in California but in states where minimum wage is 12 or less ,5 dollars is not bad, and regardless of what part of the country we're at everything under 5 should be illegal, but this apps already covered their asses by paying the corrupt politicians and people in high places that have the power to regulate them. And seriously our government doesn't care about us, when they do get involved is because because they want their cuts from this apps and I'm sure here in California because of prop 22, the government officials in California already got paid, so we're on our own.
customer texted me because she didn't have her food item. i told her she has to call restaurant. why'd she call driver?? i got a Sealed bag and Sealed drink! thank goodness i can read! i didn't know I had to help the employees with the order! they're looking upset because i told them They forgot customer's drink! this delivery stuff ain't just DRIVER/delivery!

@@PiPoholic- and the customers that don't care don't usually tip..and there orders just sit there,bc of low pay..than when someone eventually gets there order it's cold..than they seem to care about that.. 😆
Same here, Eyes on the pay and miles. I sometimes don't accept decent paying orders based on how far they're gonna take me out of a busy area. I also do NOT accept anything under 6 bucks. I'm a grown ass man and I won't get out of my car for less than. LoL.
Pro tip: concentrate on the pay per minute not per mile. You’ll do a lot better. Idk why so many of these delivery contractors are focused on the wrong thing.
@@ElladrilI figure the rule of 25, if my car gets 25 MPG and I drive 25 miles per hour and if I get at least a dollar per mile that’s 25$ an hour. - the gallon of gas so I’m making like 22$ ish per hour, not bad for my area
@@SaraElizabethYTgood job I've just sent your educational video to UE on X (Twitter ) and thier customers to realize how much UE is paying the driver's.
@@Karmelkitty29 Pressure through the Uber Pro Gold program. You get promotions and make more money when you are accepted as a Pro driver. Then I was sent an email by Uber because one of my customers claimed their food wasn’t delivered. It definitely was! I don’t want to keep anyone’s food! I want to keep my JOB! So both those made me feel “pressure” to do better.
@litawi7869 There are charities that assist people with getting food. I, however, don't do charity work. I drive to feed my own family and pay my own bills. I also work smarter, not harder, so that 10 mile delivery will be declined if the pay is low.
Monday I picked up an order for a single Starbucks coffee and I got 24.56 for it and it was only 5 miles away. It’s not too bad in Austin, I make over $250 a day or more regularly.
I’ve been doing Uber eats for like 3 days, and it is completely terrible. Almost ever since order is garbage, I did DoorDash and you just need to park near restaurants and you can average 25+ an hour. Uber eats is mostly fast food which explains the low tips and why there was no waitlist
That’s what I continue to tell people you have to double the mileage if it’s 9 miles south it’s 18 miles round-trip don’t do that for six dollars. That’s basically meals on wheels charity, I don’t think so even when I’m waiting for an order I’m starting to go inside the air condition restaurants I’m not gonna sit in my car and sweat to death or waste my gas with the air conditioner on, no more of that I’m going inside the air conditioner restaurants waiting for a ping. If nothing happens I got home.
A problem is that they count it against you if you decline all the $3 orders. And for some reason my area has a lot of those. I’ve been declining and UberEats said I’ll lose my status
the reason I stopped doing Uber eats, and idk if people realize this, but Uber can only charge so much for a delivery. you are 100% at the mercy of the customer tipping you. if you notice the pay on runs before the tip they're usually below $5 always....Uber eats is ALL TIPPING and unfortunately relying on people's generosity in 2023 is not something I was willing to do anymore
The orders with a built in tip are so good. But I agree. Last week someone tipped me .35 cents but some people don’t tip at all. Then the larger tips like $10 even it all out to me getting paid close to minimum wage sometimes less
Why do you think it should be illegal for two people to enter into a voluntary contract? If you don’t like the offer, simply decline it and move on with your day. No reason to get butthurt
You will be paying $2 in gas for that 13 mile order if your car spends 26 miles per gallon assuming the gas is $4 but WAIT if you drive back for another 13 more miles you will be paying 50 cents to work😳 negative 50 cents! plus 60 minutes of work! THATS JUST CRIMINAL ☝️ You pay to work! I usually get the miles and multiply by 1.5 or 2 so for 13 miles if I don’t get $20-$26 they will stay hungry… ☝️
I cant believe some of those offers compared to miles is sick.. disturbing..door dash and uber eats have no shame..they should be investigated..need for union on these companies seriously,theres no accountability
Girl the 3 dollars is literally what they show in my area 😂 then i can get lucky for like $7. The best are total wine and more at $11 for a single order, but I live out in a suburbs like 50 minutes away from Phoenix.
Idk why but lately I've been getting nonstop orders, but they're all trash bc of the ridiculous distance. UE shouldn't bother send orders to drivers that are 20+ miles from the restaurant. I seriously got a $7 order FOR 43 MILES recently! What's the point UE? I'm in the same area that used to make enough to pay my bills, but now all the offers I'm getting are from restaurants in the next town over and UE seems to now pay less than $2 more for orders that are 15+ miles than orders under 5 miles
I agree with gas being near $4/gallon here in my neck of NY I’ve been abit more conservative with what orders I take. I agree you have to double the miles because like you said you have to drive to the store customers house and maybe back to the same store. And if min I’m getting 20m/g well guess what I need to chop off $4 if the order is 10 miles or more. So unless the order is over $10 min on that kind of order hey your order can sit for I care.
Experiencing an issue where people will bump up the tip amount to get their order picked up and delivered, then go back and edit the tip to be only $1-$2. I wish Uber would completely remove the "edit tip" feature. How do you deal with that happening on multiple occasions?
There are people who actually accept these bad orders. It makes it difficult for everyone generally to find good orders, and it hurts our pay as drivers over all. I used to accept those when I first started. People should be educated on what a good order looks like.
Declining is so annoying that there are apps, but most needs update or discontue. It's better to create your own personal script and set the parameters to filter out low pay, high mile orders. I also set it to fetch information from my archive section, where I create folder/sub folders. The folder contains .txt files & spreedsheets of customer names and addresses. Within that directory, I store body/dash cam footage that I remotely upload to my studio computer device at home
ive been accepting every order lately to get off of their shitlist its been 2 months and i can’t see the busy areas no more and their giving me the crappiest orders because i went to oklahoma for a week
Got one today that was low amount but a cash tip - also what’s up with people ordering across town when there are like 3 other restaurants in there area on the way - same restaurant
Damn, even DoorDash doesn't do me that dirty. I like a higher end burger place near me that has a chain of restaurants in my area. Typically the tips are higher than most fast food but I never have to go that far because there are two more about 5 or so miles away. Nobody will be ordering from that far or else it will be coming from the other restaurants closer to them. I don't mind doing a 10-12 mile order if its above about $15. Now I zoom in on the delivery map to try and see if its a house or apartment. House deliveries are usually faster and easier. No searching for apartment's and fighting for parking.
One time me & my aunt did a Instacart order 3 hours in store had to be over 350$ worth of shit, paid my own 5$ to get her Brussel sprouts cause they wouldn’t scan. Bitch tipped 5$ drove 10 miles & up a huge driveway- worked at local larger hospital. Some orders indeed should be illegal
Your the best Sara ❤. Thanks for all ur tips. Question? Is it same thing if you press decline and if you just let the order keep ringing till It disappears
I love you, Sara Elizabeth! and I would love to see some more of your new shorts. But Why do they always put ones (from many channels both that I subscribe to and don’t but that I’ve already obviously seen- because I commented on them or at least I can see I liked most of them) that I’ve already seen and liked 👍🏼 in my feed? Make it make sense. 😂
I like taking the stack orders too, it’s usually nine or 10 miles for $16. It’s never as good as the one that you showed but that’s because my market stinks.
My only issue is I am starting to get high paying orders that someone has already picked up. It’s usually later in the day so that may be a clue ? But it’s definitely annoying
I got one of those from IHOP yesterday for $27 to go 3 miles. Text customer to see if they got it, they said no. Showed the restaurant the texts, asked them to remake it, delivered, got my pay.
I’ve been doing Uber eats for like a week now and when an order comes up it never really tells me how long it will take to get to the customer after I pick it up it’s so bizarre
Best thing to do is don’t work for those greedy bustards or your pay grade will going under $8/hr! Feels like they have a lot reason to charge a lot from customers and also a lot of reason will take out half of what you make in a day! Don’t work for the business that you only make $20/hr with ur own car and gas, you need to make at least like $40/hr to cover all those expense to make a little bit above minimum wages! Algorithms are making the worse pay now, so stop wasting your money and time and invest somewhere else!
I feel like Uber eats gives absolutely horrible offers, I only started 2 days ago but majority of my offers have been horrible, acceptance rate is at 19% 😞
Can you place an order on uber eats and have no takers? I'd think that would be a heads up about how cheap you are if you place an order and no one accepts.
That $3.42 is basically your fare. I hate the orders that don’t tip at all just because they think we get fare money so we they don’t need to tip. I got orders consistently between $3-5 dollars to go 23 miles in rush hour traffic. Nope, or the shop and pays $5.00 to shop for there 15 items then drive 12 miles it to them, unloading and bring it to their doors step. Nope, then you get people who order $9.00 worth of food go 2 miles and they tip you $12.00. Yes please and Thank you! It’s a struggle for sure!
been doing UE for about 6 months now and it’s not even worth it in my hometown, it’s all just the 3-5$ orders. i live on long island so ill drive out to the hamptons and spend a night out there since the people tip VERY well. (i got a 30$ tip once on a 6 mile order) i don’t deliver anywhere but there since nowhere else is worth it i do instacart too but that i do anywhere and im more forgiving with the no tip orders since groceries are a necessity and you never know if someones spending the last of their money on it and just can’t afford to tip you. plus a lot of customers i’ve delivered to for IC are elderly or disabled or sometimes both. takeout delivery is a luxury service, and while grocery delivery is considered one too it’s straight up a necessity for others
They are supposed to send you a 10-99 in the mail. If they don’t, the information is online. Even so, they already sent your earnings to the IRS so if you are off by a little amount, the irs will adjust it for you. I do my taxes every year!
I do rides, and don’t accept anything less then $30/hr or $10 for every 20minutes. Miles are irrelevant.. my hourly pay is what matters. I also drive an EV, so makes miles even less of a concern.
I do rides also, and I agree. Do a lot of airport runs, so the average is higher. But I got one a couple weeks ago going from Atlanta area to Nashville. 250 miles for $157. Highest offer I've every gotten, but still decline.
It's the only job I know where the owners and "SOME CUSTOMERS" think you should operate at a loss to please them. They should try this with their Doctors, Dentist, Mechanics, Grocery Stores, Utility Companies and see where it gets them. It may be legal, BUT IT IS UNETHICAL AS HELL! Like you; it has to be worth my time and other expenses. On occasion I might take one at .90 cents per mile for a "SHORT DISTANCE". But that is it! That being said UE has been kicking DD to the curb for the past few days! UE seemed to be getting like DD for a bit! Uber Eats-Don't get cheap like Door Trash: I mean Door Dash!
You also have to calculate in your head quickly how much an hour it pays. The first one around $30, second one around $14, third one around $7. That's a big difference.
My acceptance rate with UE is so freaking low b/c I decline garbage. I also only stay in the area that makes me money. I'm not driving 45min b/c you want a milkshake. DECLINE! 😁 I get pretty good tips though. About 75% of the time I get more than was shown when I accepted. I'm blessed with that.
Elizabeth in Miami they're running a sweatshop. Most offers in our shifts will be $2/$4 for double or triple+ the miles. The do;lar per mile here is considered good cause you'd be lucky to get better deals. Especially when they've been idling us for not taking the low ball offers. I feel like that's a felony and they should all be in prison.
I can't tell you HOW many times I've had to cancel, due to restaurant issues, where they refuse to make the order, after waiting in the drive thru for 30-45 minutes.
In addition to Uber eats, it's the same thing with regular Uber. Declined a ride pop-up pickup a rider 5 min away but they were going to San Diego for a 100 mile trip but the compensation was $50, that's highway robbery! On the flip side I grabbed rides that were $48 for 36 miles. Cherry pick your rides and deliveries to maximize your compensation. If everyone did this then it would force Uber and Lyft to eliminate stupid $2 or $3 rides, I never accept those.
I am doing uber eats from past 2 years everything thing was good but from past 1 month i making hardly 300 a week before i was making around 8 to 9 hundred a week
They offer more to the driver. I’ve had a few and once at a pizza place they said they couldn’t get anyone to pick up The order had been waiting for pickup for over an hour. I got $48, $5 tip the rest was from Uber. Happened a few times
I started driving for Uber Eats and I literally work 7 days and I had to decline a lot of Uber Eats orders I try to give Uber Eats a chance before I have to turn on my doordash
And people have the nerve to say I’m picky when I won’t take three and four dollar orders I mean I’m wasting my time by the time I get to the restaurant even if it’s 3.5 miles I gotta get the order. Hope it’s ready and then bring it to that person so I just pissed away at least 20 minutes and people think I’m being ridiculous. It’s not about not wanting to serve that particular person. It’s the fact that just the way they go to work and wanna paycheck and they’re putting their time in, it’s the same for me not on the vehicle and let’s not forget gas. And ppl think I’m picky smh 🤦🏻♀️
If you wonder why you’re not getting your orders…yea…we’re not out here to be charity workers for you. We provide a service. You’re not getting your Netflix for free and you’re not getting your deliveries for free either
So you just stay at Uber Pro Blue? Because you must be declining a fair amount. In other words is it more profitable to decline and fish for decent orders or is it better to get Uber Gold / Diamond?
I’m ngl tho sometimes going a $1 per mile is better than nothing at all cause in your shift you’ll still get good ones to to make up the difference but if it’s farrrr away from restaurants it ain’t worth it
Its insane how you guys think that 3 dlls is low, here in Mor, México the lowest payment for and order is 13mxn, around 50cents haha (for 5km or less) And those are really common
Sometimes Uber stacks a ride you cancel in the next order to make it seem like your getting a good payout only to find out it’s the order you cancelled and get a loss

There should be a bare minimum based on purchase price and delivery location. It's not fair for the delivery person to operate at a loss.

@@SaraElizabethYT Not some days, ALL days. Unless you drive in one of those rare unicorn markets virtually EVERY offer is trash.
@@tuby6521I guess I’m in unicorn land then lmao 😂
@@SaraElizabethYTgood job I've just sent your educational video to UE on X (Twitter ) and thier customers to realize how much UE is paying the driver's.
Customer shouldn’t be allowed to order food 10 Miles away
Yes! I just drove 18 miles for $8. I accepted because Uber is putting pressure on me……
What kind of pressure? You can't get deactivated for not accepting. My acceptance rate is like 17%.
@@Karmelkitty29 Pressure through the Uber Pro Gold program. You get promotions and make more money when you are accepted as a Pro driver.
Then I was sent an email by Uber because one of my customers claimed their food wasn’t delivered. It definitely was! I don’t want to keep anyone’s food! I want to keep my JOB!
So both those made me feel “pressure” to do better.
Everyone doesn’t have a car tho
@litawi7869 There are charities that assist people with getting food. I, however, don't do charity work. I drive to feed my own family and pay my own bills. I also work smarter, not harder, so that 10 mile delivery will be declined if the pay is low.
Monday I picked up an order for a single Starbucks coffee and I got 24.56 for it and it was only 5 miles away. It’s not too bad in Austin, I make over $250 a day or more regularly.
When you start doing Uber?
So you are making more money a day than the UberEat CEO.. Dem !
I had a shop and pay on Door Dash today $15 for 19 miles and 30 items, no thanks!
I’ve been doing Uber eats for like 3 days, and it is completely terrible. Almost ever since order is garbage, I did DoorDash and you just need to park near restaurants and you can average 25+ an hour. Uber eats is mostly fast food which explains the low tips and why there was no waitlist
I just got a DD order for 6 dollars for 15 miles , then it’s 15 back so 30 miles round trip I’m paying the app at that point . DECLINED 😊
That’s what I continue to tell people you have to double the mileage if it’s 9 miles south it’s 18 miles round-trip don’t do that for six dollars. That’s basically meals on wheels charity, I don’t think so even when I’m waiting for an order I’m starting to go inside the air condition restaurants I’m not gonna sit in my car and sweat to death or waste my gas with the air conditioner on, no more of that I’m going inside the air conditioner restaurants waiting for a ping. If nothing happens I got home.
I got a $25 Taco Bell order for 2 miles the other day I thought it was a joke bc it was only two peoples food, easiest $25 I’ve ever made
$84 for 5 miles including a $67 tip last week. BUT I had to wait 30 minutes as it was a huge catering order.
they where probably stoned and got the munchiiess
@@antoniosalcido1931 😁
I accepted an order for 25 dollars 3 miles and I arrived at the restaurant but someone else had picked up my order 😢
It’s not easy . That’s why people think you guys don’t deserve all that ..
The middle man is getting all the money and we are doing all the work.....
That's how most big companies work.
A problem is that they count it against you if you decline all the $3 orders. And for some reason my area has a lot of those. I’ve been declining and UberEats said I’ll lose my status
Status isn't anything if you're not making money.
@@dmreddragon6fact
the reason I stopped doing Uber eats, and idk if people realize this, but Uber can only charge so much for a delivery. you are 100% at the mercy of the customer tipping you. if you notice the pay on runs before the tip they're usually below $5 always....Uber eats is ALL TIPPING and unfortunately relying on people's generosity in 2023 is not something I was willing to do anymore
The orders with a built in tip are so good. But I agree. Last week someone tipped me .35 cents but some people don’t tip at all. Then the larger tips like $10 even it all out to me getting paid close to minimum wage sometimes less
Door dash pays better
Definitely ahould be illegal 3$ for 15 miles these mfs are crazy
You can make more asking for change at a gas station or at a red light... WTF..
Why do you think it should be illegal for two people to enter into a voluntary contract? If you don’t like the offer, simply decline it and move on with your day. No reason to get butthurt
Good job miss hopefully some sheep learn something.😁
@@ElladrilDepending on the state, if you’re doing 15 miles for $3, it would be below that state’s minimum wage.
@@Elladrilyes but it too quickly takes down the AR.
You will be paying $2 in gas for that 13 mile order if your car spends 26 miles per gallon assuming the gas is $4 but WAIT if you drive back for another 13 more miles you will be paying 50 cents to work😳 negative 50 cents! plus 60 minutes of work! THATS JUST CRIMINAL ☝️ You pay to work! I usually get the miles and multiply by 1.5 or 2 so for 13 miles if I don’t get $20-$26 they will stay hungry… ☝️
I cant believe some of those offers compared to miles is sick.. disturbing..door dash and uber eats have no shame..they should be investigated..need for union on these companies seriously,theres no accountability
Girl the 3 dollars is literally what they show in my area 😂 then i can get lucky for like $7. The best are total wine and more at $11 for a single order, but I live out in a suburbs like 50 minutes away from Phoenix.
Drive to Phoenix and dash there
90-95% of Uber eats orders are trash. They don’t like paying drivers.
Some people don’t have the money to pay you high tips.
@@choncha23 true.
Idk why but lately I've been getting nonstop orders, but they're all trash bc of the ridiculous distance. UE shouldn't bother send orders to drivers that are 20+ miles from the restaurant. I seriously got a $7 order FOR 43 MILES recently! What's the point UE? I'm in the same area that used to make enough to pay my bills, but now all the offers I'm getting are from restaurants in the next town over and UE seems to now pay less than $2 more for orders that are 15+ miles than orders under 5 miles
I agree with gas being near $4/gallon here in my neck of NY I’ve been abit more conservative with what orders I take. I agree you have to double the miles because like you said you have to drive to the store customers house and maybe back to the same store. And if min I’m getting 20m/g well guess what I need to chop off $4 if the order is 10 miles or more. So unless the order is over $10 min on that kind of order hey your order can sit for I care.
Experiencing an issue where people will bump up the tip amount to get their order picked up and delivered, then go back and edit the tip to be only $1-$2. I wish Uber would completely remove the "edit tip" feature. How do you deal with that happening on multiple occasions?
There are people who actually accept these bad orders. It makes it difficult for everyone generally to find good orders, and it hurts our pay as drivers over all. I used to accept those when I first started. People should be educated on what a good order looks like.
i declined like 5 in a row early on, and now UE doesn't send me jack. i seem to have messed up their algorithm.
Yes! This!
Hey Lady . You know you're right .
Declining is so annoying that there are apps, but most needs update or discontue. It's better to create your own personal script and set the parameters to filter out low pay, high mile orders. I also set it to fetch information from my archive section, where I create folder/sub folders. The folder contains .txt files & spreedsheets of customer names and addresses. Within that directory, I store body/dash cam footage that I remotely upload to my studio computer device at home
Ubereats lowered their basepay low-balling their drivers. Let them suffer undelivered orders!
Excellent judgement, we need more pay! I’m not selling my engine and safety for nothing
ive been accepting every order lately to get off of their shitlist its been 2 months and i can’t see the busy areas no more and their giving me the crappiest orders because i went to oklahoma for a week
Yes. Do more shorts and from your videos as well go ❤
Thank you for the info!
Totally agree. Most drivers don't factor in the return trip mileage back to restaurant areas. But they need to.
Got one today that was low amount but a cash tip - also what’s up with people ordering across town when there are like 3 other restaurants in there area on the way - same restaurant
That's easy to answer. The same name doesn't mean they're the same quality. Check out the reviews on all of those.
Damn, even DoorDash doesn't do me that dirty. I like a higher end burger place near me that has a chain of restaurants in my area. Typically the tips are higher than most fast food but I never have to go that far because there are two more about 5 or so miles away. Nobody will be ordering from that far or else it will be coming from the other restaurants closer to them.
I don't mind doing a 10-12 mile order if its above about $15. Now I zoom in on the delivery map to try and see if its a house or apartment. House deliveries are usually faster and easier. No searching for apartment's and fighting for parking.
The problem with Uber as opposed to doordash is you know what area you're going to but you don't know where you're going
I once got a shop and deliver order with 42 items for $2.75 😭
😅😅 that's the worst I have read so far.
You are absolutely right and on point. I am a driver as well for both platforms doordash and Uber. And you are so f******gorgeous!
I've declined some, and now I have a higher than normal average cancelation rate. I haven't gotten deliveries in my area.
Do you mean the acceptance rate? Mine is low too because I’m refusing orders for 1.75…..
One time me & my aunt did a Instacart order 3 hours in store had to be over 350$ worth of shit, paid my own 5$ to get her Brussel sprouts cause they wouldn’t scan. Bitch tipped 5$ drove 10 miles & up a huge driveway- worked at local larger hospital. Some orders indeed should be illegal
Your the best Sara ❤. Thanks for all ur tips. Question? Is it same thing if you press decline and if you just let the order keep ringing till It disappears
It wasn't worth it for me anymore. Not enough high paying orders. After I took out gas and taxes it seemed like I was losing money.
If Trump wins at least we won't have to pay taxes on tips!
I love you, Sara Elizabeth! and I would love to see some more of your new shorts. But Why do they always put ones (from many channels both that I subscribe to and don’t but that I’ve already obviously seen- because I commented on them or at least I can see I liked most of them) that I’ve already seen and liked 👍🏼 in my feed? Make it make sense. 😂
I've been noticing that too lately. Idk why it happens but thanks fir the love!
Hi, I go straight to the Pay as well then I look at the mileage then I make sure it makes sense if it’s no good I just let it time out
I like taking the stack orders too, it’s usually nine or 10 miles for $16. It’s never as good as the one that you showed but that’s because my market stinks.
My only issue is I am starting to get high paying orders that someone has already picked up. It’s usually later in the day so that may be a clue ? But it’s definitely annoying
I got one of those from IHOP yesterday for $27 to go 3 miles. Text customer to see if they got it, they said no. Showed the restaurant the texts, asked them to remake it, delivered, got my pay.
Had an order that was $49.09 for KFC, what sucked was that the restaurant was closed already and had to cancel it. FML
Do u have uber x enabled so u get surges with ur uber eats orders?
My app is not showing me how much the order is and how much the miles are BEFORE I choose to accept it.😮
I say the same thing everyday it should be illegal
I’ve been doing Uber eats for like a week now and when an order comes up it never really tells me how long it will take to get to the customer after I pick it up it’s so bizarre
Wait so that dollar amount is the total for the clients purchase or what you’ll make if you accept?
How much $ per mile would be ideal? In worried if i declined would i get better paying deliveries or will that hurt me by not getting as much orders?
Best thing to do is don’t work for those greedy bustards or your pay grade will going under $8/hr! Feels like they have a lot reason to charge a lot from customers and also a lot of reason will take out half of what you make in a day! Don’t work for the business that you only make $20/hr with ur own car and gas, you need to make at least like $40/hr to cover all those expense to make a little bit above minimum wages! Algorithms are making the worse pay now, so stop wasting your money and time and invest somewhere else!
What happens if no one accpets those horrible low paying orders.. does it get canceled or does uber eats force it onto a random driver
Thank for the info cutie. 😊
How to get around low order without hurting you exception rates?
I feel like Uber eats gives absolutely horrible offers, I only started 2 days ago but majority of my offers have been horrible, acceptance rate is at 19% 😞
Does the offer only come to one spicifc driver ? Cuz sometime it gets taken by another driver
Hi question can the restaurant call the customer if they don’t have something. I have came to restaurants in they ask me to call the customer?
Yes a good staff will call and handle it themselves but others will ask us to do it.
is any way to delete pay toll route on Uber map?
Can you place an order on uber eats and have no takers? I'd think that would be a heads up about how cheap you are if you place an order and no one accepts.
That $3.42 is basically your fare. I hate the orders that don’t tip at all just because they think we get fare money so we they don’t need to tip. I got orders consistently between $3-5 dollars to go 23 miles in rush hour traffic. Nope, or the shop and pays $5.00 to shop for there 15 items then drive 12 miles it to them, unloading and bring it to their doors step. Nope, then you get people who order $9.00 worth of food go 2 miles and they tip you $12.00. Yes please and Thank you! It’s a struggle for sure!
Yes ma'am. Everybody stay safe out there. 🙏
been doing UE for about 6 months now and it’s not even worth it in my hometown, it’s all just the 3-5$ orders. i live on long island so ill drive out to the hamptons and spend a night out there since the people tip VERY well. (i got a 30$ tip once on a 6 mile order) i don’t deliver anywhere but there since nowhere else is worth it
i do instacart too but that i do anywhere and im more forgiving with the no tip orders since groceries are a necessity and you never know if someones spending the last of their money on it and just can’t afford to tip you. plus a lot of customers i’ve delivered to for IC are elderly or disabled or sometimes both. takeout delivery is a luxury service, and while grocery delivery is considered one too it’s straight up a necessity for others
I hope it's easy to do taxes it's going to be my first year trying
They are supposed to send you a 10-99 in the mail. If they don’t, the information is online. Even so, they already sent your earnings to the IRS so if you are off by a little amount, the irs will adjust it for you.
I do my taxes every year!
@@laurel1865 awesome thanks for the info I appreciate it
I do rides, and don’t accept anything less then $30/hr or $10 for every 20minutes. Miles are irrelevant.. my hourly pay is what matters. I also drive an EV, so makes miles even less of a concern.
I do rides also, and I agree. Do a lot of airport runs, so the average is higher. But I got one a couple weeks ago going from Atlanta area to Nashville. 250 miles for $157. Highest offer I've every gotten, but still decline.
It's the only job I know where the owners and "SOME CUSTOMERS" think you should operate at a loss to please them. They should try this with their Doctors, Dentist, Mechanics, Grocery Stores, Utility Companies and see where it gets them. It may be legal, BUT IT IS UNETHICAL AS HELL! Like you; it has to be worth my time and other expenses. On occasion I might take one at .90 cents per mile for a "SHORT DISTANCE". But that is it! That being said UE has been kicking DD to the curb for the past few days! UE seemed to be getting like DD for a bit! Uber Eats-Don't get cheap like Door Trash: I mean Door Dash!
💯💯💯💯💯💯
You also have to calculate in your head quickly how much an hour it pays. The first one around $30, second one around $14, third one around $7. That's a big difference.
My acceptance rate with UE is so freaking low b/c I decline garbage. I also only stay in the area that makes me money. I'm not driving 45min b/c you want a milkshake. DECLINE! 😁 I get pretty good tips though. About 75% of the time I get more than was shown when I accepted. I'm blessed with that.
Elizabeth in Miami they're running a sweatshop. Most offers in our shifts will be $2/$4 for double or triple+ the miles.
The do;lar per mile here is considered good cause you'd be lucky to get better deals. Especially when they've been idling us for not taking the low ball offers.
I feel like that's a felony and they should all be in prison.
I can't tell you HOW many times I've had to cancel, due to restaurant issues, where they refuse to make the order, after waiting in the drive thru for 30-45 minutes.
You’re the best!
I got approved to start , but I don't how to pay for the orders. is it like jnstacart where I swipe a card or use an online code to pay?
No it's already paid for you just tell them the name and they hand it to you or it'll be sitting on a shelf ready to be picked up.
@SaraElizabethYT Awesome and Thank
How much money you make monthly and your total hours?
My acceptance rate on UE is like13%. All they send out is trash.
Dont uber themself pay you a base pay and tips are yours? I dont know the system
Great great advice
In addition to Uber eats, it's the same thing with regular Uber. Declined a ride pop-up pickup a rider 5 min away but they were going to San Diego for a 100 mile trip but the compensation was $50, that's highway robbery! On the flip side I grabbed rides that were $48 for 36 miles. Cherry pick your rides and deliveries to maximize your compensation. If everyone did this then it would force Uber and Lyft to eliminate stupid $2 or $3 rides, I never accept those.
I am doing uber eats from past 2 years everything thing was good but from past 1 month i making hardly 300 a week before i was making around 8 to 9 hundred a week
Inflation is high and most people can't afford delivery. A lot of drivers seem to be struggling with the same decline as you are.
The first order probably has a higher payout due to hidden tip
Sara, when we get a tip and it you click on, send thanks for the tip, do you know what the customer sees? can you do a custom message?
The customer sees a “your driver said thanks!”
@@laurel1865 that's it? Sometimes I'd like to say more
Whats happens if no one takes those orders? Im assuming they refund the customer and the fòod gets thrown away?
They offer more to the driver. I’ve had a few and once at a pizza place they said they couldn’t get anyone to pick up
The order had been waiting for pickup for over an hour. I got $48, $5 tip the rest was from Uber. Happened a few times
I started driving for Uber Eats and I literally work 7 days and I had to decline a lot of Uber Eats orders I try to give Uber Eats a chance before I have to turn on my doordash
And people have the nerve to say I’m picky when I won’t take three and four dollar orders I mean I’m wasting my time by the time I get to the restaurant even if it’s 3.5 miles I gotta get the order. Hope it’s ready and then bring it to that person so I just pissed away at least 20 minutes and people think I’m being ridiculous. It’s not about not wanting to serve that particular person. It’s the fact that just the way they go to work and wanna paycheck and they’re putting their time in, it’s the same for me not on the vehicle and let’s not forget gas. And ppl think I’m picky smh 🤦🏻♀️
If you wonder why you’re not getting your orders…yea…we’re not out here to be charity workers for you. We provide a service. You’re not getting your Netflix for free and you’re not getting your deliveries for free either
how do you guys survive on this pay
15 miles for $5 lol where we live
So you just stay at Uber Pro Blue? Because you must be declining a fair amount. In other words is it more profitable to decline and fish for decent orders or is it better to get Uber Gold / Diamond?
I’m ngl tho sometimes going a $1 per mile is better than nothing at all cause in your shift you’ll still get good ones to to make up the difference but if it’s farrrr away from restaurants it ain’t worth it
How many hours do you do daily? Are you paying bill yourself? A single mother can do this as full time job?
Here is FtWorth, TX dollar a mile is the best you can get. It’s crazy. That’s why my acceptance is so low.
But how do gas drivers make money ?i did it in a electric car and it was very low money
In my area it’s rare to get at least a 1.75 a mile maybe 1 out of every 20
everything she said is correct 💯
Its insane how you guys think that 3 dlls is low, here in Mor, México the lowest payment for and order is 13mxn, around 50cents haha (for 5km or less)
And those are really common
If we get 1mill uber in lyft drivers to stop driving for a month I bet the pay would be 100% better, guaranteed
Sometimes Uber stacks a ride you cancel in the next order to make it seem like your getting a good payout only to find out it’s the order you cancelled and get a loss
You must live close to me, I DD in some of those areas. Lol
i do uber eats and recently the pay has been really bad and low lol
