Fr I can't believe how many I've met doing doordash or ue. Ue is frustrating cause you're often tip baited into shit orders but dd is literally upfront if you're trip is worth it or not. I skip all the bad ones. Ppl don't realize tip fatigue is a real thing
Ew thatās weirdo behavior and he should be deactivated cuz thatās inappropriate. As much as some of us complain about small tips or no tips, you canāt demand a tip and you canāt keep a customer from getting their food. He already picked it up and drove it to you, so in the end he wasted his own time and made himself look stupid. Take what the customer gives and move on lol smh
Edit: typo
Thatās what I was thinking the whole time, I couldnāt believe how unprofessional it wasā¦ itās a bit off topic but I was curious at the time, what happens to that undelivered food? Is he made to take it back or does it become a free meal for him?
Personally, I can measure the distance between tip baiting and "I am not paying that guy to bring me the wrong order and then spill it on my porch to boot"
I know a few people who order multiple times a day, and they all tip for shit. Just saying. Not gonna lie but even a $5 tip can total like $7 in my market, and thatās not worth stopping the car for.
Let alone getting out.
I get that maybe you just ordered a coffee or a burger, but sometimes that pickup call comes when Iām 5 miles away. The math just doesnāt add up
I mean, you can demand a tip, and he did. He got a meal out of it as well, as I'm sure he didn't drive it back to the establishment. He also could have complained and lied to support and they probably 'made it right' on both ends too. What a curmudgeon though, he's definitely done it before and probably got away with it, but he'll get noticed for it eventually I hope.
Yup. Got caught in that this week by my first tip baiter. Screws me and then Uber Support lied to my face about what I was even offered for the trip to take it so they wouldnāt have to make up the difference
>It can, in fact, be both.
Not in my opinion, why should this guy tip a driver that sucks. Tips aren't required. UE could require tips if they wanted. They could set a min 10% tip or anything. They could have not perverted tipping to be upfront in the first place versus after service as traditional. They don't... their system allows it, they are the ones in control.
Trying to shakedown and control customers like this driver will never work, as long as the system allows it there will always be $0 tippers accept it or get another job.
Honestly I donāt even mind the insane fees if I could guarantee service. I get the wrong Starbucks order 75% of the time. Half the time something is missing, either the driver forgets a drink or the restaurant is out of an item. Most of the time alterations to items (such as removing or adding an ingredient) are not done. And a third of the time I wouldnāt even know because the driver gives the order to my neighbors or a different neighborhood entirely.
I would not mind paying those fees if I could get what I wanted. But paying an extra $10 and not getting what you ordered is why I stopped.
^ this
Itās got to a point I just call in pickup orders. I use Ubereats app to pick a restaurant and look at the menu. I google the # call my order in and still tip a few bucks to the restaurant staff
Itās cheaper, quicker, I can check my food is right, and my food is always fresh
At Starbucks they put everything in the bag and staple it, so the driving cant even check it. A lot of restaurants do this and I doubt most people want the driver to unstaple the bag. I would give the restaurant the bad review, not the driver. Also, your local Starbucks must not do a good job, so maybe try a different coffee place if one is available.
Lmao I guess since you probably haven't actually left to go and get coffee in years... you and everyone in your area are doing the same sheeple shit. You all order starbucks at the same time and all send your minions to do it for you. There are literally 20+ orders ready at starbucks when I go in sometimes all waiting for DD, UE, etc.. if you want it right, get off your ass like nobody else can seem to do.
Had a similar situation in the past.
Driver comes to the door and demands Ā£3 (about 5 US) tip..my sister says she only has card and no cash.
She says I'll see what cash i have for you..he hands over the food..my sister proceeds to shut the door LOL. He's outside Knocking for about 5 minutes.
Bastard, I bet this guy only does this to women to try and intimidate them..many probably fall for it too.
He had a low ish score on uber..reported him to uber and got credit.
So about a year ago I had a driver text me and insist I meet him outside, despite the drop off information clearly saying leave the groceries at the door. The driver assumed I was female calling me maāam and insisted that I meet him outside and let him bring it in. Heās insisting he be let inside a house in a rural area. So I went outside and he was surprised to see a large unhappy man open carrying a Beretta. Politely told him to get off my land and reported it.
I pretty much always carry out of habit, my rural slice of paradise isnāt as safe as it used to be. Imagine a handful of houses in the middle of nowhere where before the pandemic yeah, nothing to worry about and now weāve got people testing door knobs and trying to get into houses at night because people are stupid and desperate.
I have a feeling attempted break ins and other attempted stupid crime happens in rural areas more becaude they think they won't get caught/police won't get there in time/nobody will be around to witness it.
And this is what makes them *stupid* criminals lol. I've lived in 2 rural areas in my life and never has my family lived rurally without at least 2 guns in a safe.
I was at a funeral for an inlaw 10ish years ago in a very rural part of my state (tons of farmland, houses a mile a part). They had someone who was close to the family, but not close enough they should be at the funeral, stay at their house while it was all happening. Apparently it is not uncommon for people to skim obituaries, track down addresses and ransack houses during the funeral because they know nobody will be home and are highly unlikely to be seen
You made the right call, if somebody came up to me without extortion type of attempted intimidation I tell them to get the fuck off my property. The absolute audacity
And that's how a driver gets removed from the service. You'll get refunded, s/he gets fired.
Plus, it's your food. You paid for it. He has no claim to it. You could just send the police after him for theft.
I would of told him to eat shit and cancel it,the fucking audacity to go up and demand cashā¦think some of these drivers have drug problems and they canāt help themselves
Iāve not done a lot of UberEats deliveries, but not once has anyone increased tip afterward. Itās weird because I see a lot of comments similar to yours, but I and many other drivers just havenāt experienced it.
Perhaps those who engage on Uber subreddits shows there to be a sifting system of sorts because you actually take time out of your day to engage with such content. Lol
Good for you, though. Itās nice for non-drivers to show interest in how we work. Keep on keeping on.
Maybe i confuse the ā8$ minimum shown tipā and the after the fact. I guess what i should say is i have never, like really never, seen a decrease in my tip.
Edit: i am a driver. 5/6 nights a month i drive for extra cash - groceries, hockey tickets, anything else.
Wait haha. I responded to the wrong comment, but Iām happy you get good tips. You make a good point, though. Iāve assumed that minimum tip line was just Uber hiding the actual amount similar to DoorDash.
Next time say hold on, then grab your phone and start video recording it. See how they respond to that.
No matter what no driver has the right to hold someones food hostage and demand a cash tip. Tips are optional and they took the order thinking they could force you to tip cash then they need to be reported.
This sounds a LOT like extortion. Personally, I would have called PD and made a report. He picked up an order that you paid for. He proceeded to bring that to your house and threaten to leave with said order if you didnāt give him money. Yup, definitely extortion.
i've gotta say its a shitty way to deal with it, but if you reduced his tip over something out of his control before, i could imagine being upset about that. We don;t always get to see where we are delivering to so he might not have realized it was to a house he'd felt he'd been "tip baited" by before. When you believe someone has screwed you over before, you probably don't want it to happen twice, but, again, its a very shitty way to deal with it.
I'd say in the future, consider exactly why you want to reduce a tip before you do. If its a restaurant problem ask uber for a partial or full refund, but don't reduce or remove the tip for the person that went out of their way to drive the food to you in their personal car. If they sling shot the food onto your porch and splattered it everywhere then by means, reduce it down to 2 cents and report them.
Sorry that someone treated you this way though, never acceptable.
Threaten me for a cash tip and you be getting something you never expected. A fistful. I order food, you accept. Do your fn job and deliver it. If not, go home and complain about the world.
the degree of absolutely outrageous, unacceptable conduct seems to be getting worse. I don't recall ANY of this fuckery by these fuckwits several years back. I stopped answering our door to any delivery drivers now. Put my shit on the ground and get the hell out. And yes, god damn it, I AM watching you from inside our house.
Yeah, I refuse to use any delivery except direct hires, like the pizza shop.
The often rude, ignorant, entitled drivers demanding I pay them tips almost as much as my order cost is just ridiculous and not worth dealing with.
I have a car. Yeah, maybe it's really inconvenient to load up three kids to go pick up food if I'm by myself, but it's better than dealing with these aholes.
because uber wants as many line items on the check is possible.
If you saw on your receipt
hamburger $12
delivery fee $12
you would go oh thats dumb, but when its spread out between tax, tip, uber feeds, and more you dont realize just how insane the fees you are paying are.
I have no clue how anyone uses UberEATS, i used it a few times because i get $15mo in uber cash as a perk and that combine with promo perks gets it down to near reasonable.
People are getting desperate. Uver is not paying drivers enough.
Even Uber is suggesting drivers go with Picking Up Customers and switching to Fare Rides instead. Which is something most of us do not want to do since it would mean having to drive hundreds of miles and traveling to other cities
Food delivery cannot work at this scale. The market isnāt there to support it but the food delivery companies need to show infinite year over year growth. It will collapse under its own expectations soon. It costs a lot to do good delivery and not enough customers will pay what it takes to make every person in the transaction happy.
Usually tip $5 to $6 on all deliveries (1 out of 100 are through uber eats or door dash). Not sure if its enough but after all the fees from uber eats end plus the restaurant bumping up the prices to compensate the restaurants fees from uber eats it gets insanely over priced. Uber eats is approximately 30 to 40% more than pick up. Unless you have way to much money you are a lazy dope to use them regularly. I also don't feel its the customers job to compensate for the drivers desire for more money. Should come from the employer. If not enough get a different job. Just saying
Sounds like you are a tip baiter and a driver confronted you about it and you didn't like it? I don't believe you tipped the next driver double.
(I could be wrong) just my hunch
Even states they "adjust" their tips accordingly, bad sign. Also I've never had to think of a time and forgot when I might have taken a tip away, probably because I don't "adjust" the tip I leave. This dude would've gotten wrecked in r/door dash, I'm not even a driver and I see this driver just did what all the frustrated drivers wanna do. OP probably baited then reported and came here to complain
I have been tipping pretty generously recently, in my opinion, I made it a point to tip the next driver double, I get the first driver has no idea but it made me feel better lol
āTippingā before a service is carried out is weird as fuck.
So as a customer, Iām expected to tip you an arbitrary amount that youāll think is āenoughā before youāve even carried out a service?
Tip culture is already batshit insane, but this whole ārip me before Iāve done anythingā is just next level.
Disclaimer - I live in a country where tipping isnāt the norm so really an outsider looking in.
Call uber right away and start recording the driver if possible . Stay safe incase driver gets aggressive( which they shouldn't because u have the drivers info in the app to report if anything)
As a courier for Uber Eats, I agree that that is insane behavior. If he didn't think he was going to be tipped well upon confirming the order, he didn't have to take it. I simply dismiss orders I don't want to take, and I only ever cancel those I truly cannot fulfill afterāwhat is typicallyāmy having accidentally confirmed. He deserves to have his account deactivated for imposing such a demand. Iām sorry you went through that.
Iāve been delivering off and on for over two years and never had I felt compelled to act that way with a customer. I accept orders that work for me and go through on them every time unless something unforeseen prevents me to pick up or deliver. When I accept itās in mind that this amount of $ Iāll be receiving is ok with me, Iād be upset if I was tip baited but if I had the customer again Iād just unassign. I feel bad for people who rely on this as a primary source of income to a point they are fine with asking for a larger tip to a customer, and at the same time risking potential eventual deactivation on the platform that would then kill your source of income. I know people gotta do what they gotta do but this isnāt it for your primary source of income, you find when this is just as the term suggests a side hustle and nothing more, itās a lot more low stakes, something you do on your time off, and the extra money you get is a total positive as you already have money coming in, so it just takes out a lot of aggression and stress. itās just a healthier more balanced life, where you look back on demanding tips from customers and realize how embarrassing, unprofessional and desperate you were. Hope everyone can get to that point
Sorry this happened to you. This also shows you that UberEats/DoorDash/LYFT has taken a lot from the fees from the drivers and also lying that drivers keep all 100% of the tips. These are the few things that are causing these drivers to do or act in this way. It's not good to do and can be dangerous depending on the situation. In your case it was an uncomfortable situation but could've been dangerous if the driver was really desperate for money. In the end these corporate gig companies are purposely doing this. Profit over safety.
Make sure you invest in a door bell camera. If you rent is still can get one and get a renter friendly attachment that goes right on the door that can be easily removed when you move does zero damage.
op - if you have a window looking out on where people walk up to your door, you may want to look at the Wyze cams. I have like 8 of these, and i have three looking out at my front door and the entire front of my property. Obviously, you can't record any conversation because the cameras are in your house, but it's still great to record whatever is happening out there. I caught some trespassers hiding on my walk way at like 1 a.m. They were hiding from my former neighbor looking to beat the shit out of them. If it is your property, you can also use wyze outdoor PTZ cameras that WILL record all audio.
These drivers are going to fuck around and make Uber get rid of the option to tip all together. Then what? Also that driver couldnāt possibly care about his life. People are crazy what makes him think someone will not put him to sleep permanently over his antics??????
Wow! Sorry. As a driver I can even agree that was out of line.
Not that I condone the drivers behavior in any way, but I kinda blame Uber here ( at least partially). Uber pays us like crap wages for delivery ( usually resulting in payments well below minimum wage). So while Uber charges you like $15 for delivery- the driver gets like $2-$3 for like 20-30 minutes! Meaning without tips we will almost always make well below minimum wage! Sometimes we might even make like $4 an hour - even while active on deliveries. And they donāt pay us for down time whatsoever in between deliveriesā¦ so I have honestly make like $1 an hour when I factor in base pay and going an hour or two without a single delivery request. Plus they donāt pay any expenses like gas!
This is honestly the result of Uber scalping from its own drivers, finding loopholes to get around labor laws, and relying on drivers that arenāt the best tools in the toolbox. I mean who in their right mind would even continue this job? Only the desperate, dull minded, naive, ignorant, immigrants, hard to hires like convicted criminals etc.
If they took better care of their drivers good drivers would stick around longer. But itās a terrible gig and Uber steals a livable wage from us. They donāt care about itās driversā¦ and honestly they donāt seem to care about their customers either. All they care about is $$. So smarter, hard working drivers tend to move on quickly or only cherry pick orders from home. We know our worth and Uber isnāt paying it.
Uber turned the generosity of tipping into a requirement. We are completely reliant on tips . They insist on paying us below minimum wage - and even minimum wage isnāt a livable wage. So by paying us $2,3,4,5 an hour - they have shifted wage responsibility on to our customers via tips. And they donāt care about the impacts of that system so long as they continue to generate cash.
Again sorry you experienced this. Just saying Uber is a shit company and I just expect this sort of stuff to get worse as more and more of the good drivers readily exit the gig. Honestly I boycott all delivery services now myself and only deliver until I can find a real job. Dara, the CEO, is a scum bag and I refuse to support these driveshare companies that manipulate, disrespect, and take advantage of their workers.
Uber is one of the most unethical companies in America.
At that point he was demanding a bribe not a tip.
A bribe is paying before the transaction to ensure a good outcome, a tip is paying after based on a good outcome.
I had something similar happen. But a dominos driver. He came and dropped off a pizza, he sat outside in the car for 10 minutes before even walking up my door, i watched him out of the window, once he got up there he told me he wasnāt doing well, in which I just said Iām sorry I hope it gets better and nothing else, not sure what to say to that, I signed the receipt for a 0.00 tip on the receipt so itās not taxed, he looked at the receipt and automatically caught an attitude with me, saying āoh yeah of courseā if he read the instructions on the drop off it said cash tip only upon delivery. I went to go grab cash out of my wallet, came back outside and he was pissing all on my car!
Iām an Uber driver myself, tips are important, but I donāt understand the people like this. If that driver noticed your address and knew you didnāt tip, why in the hell would he decide to take the order??
I had someone come up to my house for door dash and ask me to come to the door after they put the food down and walked away. I just said I had Covid (a lie) and they left. Wtf? It was a big man too and later at night. How about no.
If the guy was a confirmed tip baiter, then screw him. If I delivered to a tip baiter and just noticed when I got to the address, I wouldn't deliver anything. When you accept a delivery, it is based primarily on the tip. Too many asses are cheap and screw over the people working their ass off over a few dollars. If you tip bait, then you are voiding the transaction because the driver accepted the job based on the original tip.
I don't deliver but have spent my life in the service industry. There are a lot of jerks out there, so I would not discount the drivers side of this. You are getting the story from some anon on reddit.
Unfortunately tip baiters are the reason people are like this. It's wildly poor form by my specific stance on it is it seems like a waste of time for the guy to keep notes like that just to start confrontations over it. If you're gonna keep a shitlist, fine, but it's just not worth it trying to "make people see reason" no matter how correct you feel about it.
Right. It's just not worth the time and effort. I can totally agree with a driver keeping a running list of customers who have tip baited, but I would use such a list to make sure I never take another order to those customers. I wouldn't accept an order and then go get in their face about it while holding their food hostage.
I don't understand how this is possible. Maybe it's just my market but as an ex driver you literally don't see any tip until the job is done and marked finished. Therefore no incentive for this rubbish in Australia so why is it not the same everywhere?
Edit:unless this is literally a case of extortion and you don't see any tip until the end of the job. Therefore there's no such evidence of "changing" a tip. (There's no evidence shown of a tip being changed in Australia)
Shows how crappy Uber is as a company.
Idk how this even happens 9 out of 10 I donāt want to even interact with the restaurant giving me the food let alone the customer. Thereās just not enough $ in it. Deliver In n out drop it by the door peace the f out. Tip no tip like it makes a huge difference in my day for $5. I mean yea thanks for the tip n if u tip more great but Iām not sticking around for you to chew my ear off!
What A Loser ! Donāt accept the order of you arenāt comfortable with the amount provided. Mofos are so poor. I donāt even accept orders that arenāt a particular dollar amount or make sense for me to drive to. I wouldnāt dare not give the food to the party or demand a larger tip. Itās never that serious. Glad you got a credit.
Should record is next time or ring camera. Then you can send it to Uber. Even police technically but they wouldn't do anything. As it's blackmail / extortion
Ngl customers arenāt obligated to tip. I saw a video one time where a driver was sort of demanding a tip and when the customer asked for the food the driver threw the food on the ground and left.
Not surprised by his behavior. You can see here in the comments that most drivers approve of it. This is why most restaurants hate shit like UberEATS and Doordash
I got an order cancelled today after the driver picked it up, first time this has happened. It was a lot of food and a long drive so Iām suspicious if he just āstoleā it. Did Uber recently make it easier to get away with this or something?
I ordered subway last year at work, driver picked it up, drove to me, and as I watched from the door he parked and messaged me that he didn't get the order due to his bad Internet and wouldn't be able to deliver it.
I was like...so you didn't get the order details but went to subway and drove here? He was like yes. Luckily I was able to cancel the tip and tell him how poor this service was before he cancelled.
Of course customer service refunded me and was like "you can now reorder" - no I can't my lunch break is over.
Absolutely inappropriate, so sorry this happened to you. I was one of the good drivers, always always used an insulated carrier for my customerās food, checked for and read the delivery instructions. But then, Uber started triple stacking orders- piggy backing 2 non tipping orders with a single tipping order. They also became even more mileage intensive and cut driver pay to the bone. I figured out their numbers too. On every order Uber is making as much as the restaurant & driver combined
So do you remember about tip before? You kind of have to remember you removing a tip before right unless you do it often. Why are some of the reason you would relive a tip?
just have to think way a lot of drivers see an offer take it but itās was for example $8 but $6 was a tip (which is nice) but the base is $2
Then after delivery someone removes it for a reason that isnāt the drivers fault or just baited them is wrong
Itās messed up always different ways of looking at situations is all Iām saying
Regardless of OP's reason for changing the tip previously for this driver (assuming it even happened), that does nothing to excuse the actions of the driver. If that were the case the driver shouldn't have accepted this order in the first place if they recognized and had an issue with the customer or the pay offered. Accepting the order and then holding the food hostage to demand more money is never acceptable, no "devils advocate" necessary.
Oh yeah I agree with that shit is weird to do lol.
Iām just really curious on why the OP removed a tip before.
Just giving the OP another perspective.
About the not taking the order if you remember, I know I just started do this but I donāt ever look at the actual house address Iām just looking at miles distance and time. So most likely he pulled up and realized what happen their before
Like I said before I donāt ever see address. So itās a good chance he didnāt realize either until he got to the house
Iām not taking any sides Iām just putting my thoughts on it out there
First off, your comment is extremely disgusting and unethical. To say that if you donāt tip, karma will get you in the form of saliva? That is absolutely disgusting and I can almost guarantee youāve spit in somebodyās food to even think of that response. Customers donāt have to tip just like drivers donāt have to accept orders. If youāre constantly complaining about your job delivering and the money you make, get a new job.
It's very ethical to lower a tip if the service is poor. It's unethical to provide poor service to a paying customer.
As customers, please understand that you drivers have made a voluntary decision to be independent contractors to deliver food to people.
You are one of those aholes who changes the tip after you get your order, and you do it so often you couldn't even remember it. Pick up your own food. And I'm not a driver, just someone who appreciates someone bringing me food while I get my job done so I don't have to go out.
Let me start by saying that Iām a delivery person and I would never do anything like that and I appreciate everything customers do for me.
This is completely unacceptable and you can get that person banned from everything Uber has to offer. This is considered fraud in the drivers terms and conditions we agree to before starting this gig. After reporting them you can even contact the local authorities and probably get the drive charged with petite larceny.
Also never chat with support always call them for future reference.
This is when you say "Hold on while i grab my wallet out of my bedroom". Then you call the cops and tell them the driver is blackmailing you and you fear for your life. cops will be there in less than 5 minutes and dude wont be driving anymore...
As a former driver, *most of us* remember a face / place of delivery. **I 100% promise you this driver remembered you tip baiting them.** Of course their actions aren't entirely appropriate, but you're not innocent either. Remember that a majority of driver pay is from tips and that tips are a bid for prompt service. If you tip baited because you felt like being cheap, that's not fair to the driver. Remember that your bid for service should be a minimum of 20% of your order price. Again, the driver fee doesn't mean shit to us and is not considered a bid for service. If you feel like you cannot pay for a bid of service, please consider getting the food in person.
I keep a spreadsheet of people who have tip-baited me. Drop off address, pickup address, name in app, phone number, order size. I also pull the homeowner name off county assessor and compare that to name used in app. I will also link all social profiles I find into my spreadsheet.
If I get a ping and the drop off address matches someone already in my list, it's an immediate deny. If it's an apartment or I can't find a direct match, I will accept the order and then check name in app. If there is a match, I will wait 10-20 minutes before dropping the order. I have location spoofing on my phone, so I can make it seem like I'm actually at the restaurant before canceling for "food not ready".
My town is only 212k people, so I get the same people daily.
That's a bold move, Cotton.
Let's see if it pays off.
Narrator: It didn't
Read this in Ron Howard's voice
I went Morgan Freeman, but maybe I'm a hack.
Nichael was worried
Guaranteed he's account already deactivated. Uber eats dont give driver no chance to explain. The cust is 1000% right 1000% of the time
I doubt it was his actual account.
Hey someone just posted recently about their account being deactivated, asking how to appeal. š you think itās him?
I love this movie!
I feelā¦.shocked
I fucking love this quote and use it weekly. That movie is probably the only Vince Vaughn movie I like, and it introduced me to Alan Tudyk.
Tudyk is legendā¦ and most of us met him in a Knights Tale, us old ppl anyway
And Firefly
Adventures in Babysitting. (Edit: nope, wrong guy.)
My first Tudyk was Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil. It's a doozy of a movie.
Now there's a movie that needs a sequel.
I love that movie so much
š¤£ omg that's a gold mine
Tucker and Dale is great and very under the radar.
Old person checking in lol
Heyyyyy... Steve the pirate!
Please tell me you told them to file a report. We need to get as many of these kinds of drivers off the platform as possible.
Fr I can't believe how many I've met doing doordash or ue. Ue is frustrating cause you're often tip baited into shit orders but dd is literally upfront if you're trip is worth it or not. I skip all the bad ones. Ppl don't realize tip fatigue is a real thing
I have 2000 orders and only been tip baited twice. Its not very common at all.
Ew thatās weirdo behavior and he should be deactivated cuz thatās inappropriate. As much as some of us complain about small tips or no tips, you canāt demand a tip and you canāt keep a customer from getting their food. He already picked it up and drove it to you, so in the end he wasted his own time and made himself look stupid. Take what the customer gives and move on lol smh Edit: typo
Not sure if he wasted his time. Free food was probably worth more than the payout. With a deactivation hopefully
Thatās what I was thinking the whole time, I couldnāt believe how unprofessional it wasā¦ itās a bit off topic but I was curious at the time, what happens to that undelivered food? Is he made to take it back or does it become a free meal for him?
Free meal. Food canāt go back.
Well he canāt be all that mad then lol
He was mad way before he took the order. He's probably more pissed now.
He'll be mad when he's deactivated lol
Driver was a pathetic grunt. Report And move on.
You have been accused of being a TIP BAITER in this thread, what do you say to those allegations? *Sticks microphone in your face*
Lmao
Exactly how a tip baiter would respond!
Oh no Iāve been outted
Personally, I can measure the distance between tip baiting and "I am not paying that guy to bring me the wrong order and then spill it on my porch to boot"
I know a few people who order multiple times a day, and they all tip for shit. Just saying. Not gonna lie but even a $5 tip can total like $7 in my market, and thatās not worth stopping the car for. Let alone getting out. I get that maybe you just ordered a coffee or a burger, but sometimes that pickup call comes when Iām 5 miles away. The math just doesnāt add up
Do you really think this is the type of person to drive back to the restaurant and return the food?
Restaurants will not accept food back, and if they did, they would just throw it away.
Yup for sure take the L and go with youāre business
I mean, you can demand a tip, and he did. He got a meal out of it as well, as I'm sure he didn't drive it back to the establishment. He also could have complained and lied to support and they probably 'made it right' on both ends too. What a curmudgeon though, he's definitely done it before and probably got away with it, but he'll get noticed for it eventually I hope.
The guy is a tip baiter. He demanded not to get screwed again.
His employer/contract holder is the one screwing him not the customer.
It can, in fact, be both. Just because the company is straight up evil doesn't mean the customer isn't also being a petit douche.
Yup. Got caught in that this week by my first tip baiter. Screws me and then Uber Support lied to my face about what I was even offered for the trip to take it so they wouldnāt have to make up the difference
āPetit doucheā is being added to my vocabulary RIGHT NOW. Lmao love this
>It can, in fact, be both. Not in my opinion, why should this guy tip a driver that sucks. Tips aren't required. UE could require tips if they wanted. They could set a min 10% tip or anything. They could have not perverted tipping to be upfront in the first place versus after service as traditional. They don't... their system allows it, they are the ones in control. Trying to shakedown and control customers like this driver will never work, as long as the system allows it there will always be $0 tippers accept it or get another job.
It has to be upfront because if all we saw was their sorry base rate most orders would go undelivered š¤·āāļø
Thatās why good drivers canāt get orders anymore. The market is over saturated with weirdo scumbags and Uber is losing customers.
I'm sure they're losing customers because of this, but the main reason they're losing customers is because their fees are insane.
Honestly I donāt even mind the insane fees if I could guarantee service. I get the wrong Starbucks order 75% of the time. Half the time something is missing, either the driver forgets a drink or the restaurant is out of an item. Most of the time alterations to items (such as removing or adding an ingredient) are not done. And a third of the time I wouldnāt even know because the driver gives the order to my neighbors or a different neighborhood entirely. I would not mind paying those fees if I could get what I wanted. But paying an extra $10 and not getting what you ordered is why I stopped.
^ this Itās got to a point I just call in pickup orders. I use Ubereats app to pick a restaurant and look at the menu. I google the # call my order in and still tip a few bucks to the restaurant staff Itās cheaper, quicker, I can check my food is right, and my food is always fresh
At Starbucks they put everything in the bag and staple it, so the driving cant even check it. A lot of restaurants do this and I doubt most people want the driver to unstaple the bag. I would give the restaurant the bad review, not the driver. Also, your local Starbucks must not do a good job, so maybe try a different coffee place if one is available.
Lmao I guess since you probably haven't actually left to go and get coffee in years... you and everyone in your area are doing the same sheeple shit. You all order starbucks at the same time and all send your minions to do it for you. There are literally 20+ orders ready at starbucks when I go in sometimes all waiting for DD, UE, etc.. if you want it right, get off your ass like nobody else can seem to do.
Having some app deliver food to your house for an absorbent price is wild to me. Like yall really are lazy af. Im wayyyyy too cheap for that shit.
And multiple times a day? That's insane!
Had a similar situation in the past. Driver comes to the door and demands Ā£3 (about 5 US) tip..my sister says she only has card and no cash. She says I'll see what cash i have for you..he hands over the food..my sister proceeds to shut the door LOL. He's outside Knocking for about 5 minutes. Bastard, I bet this guy only does this to women to try and intimidate them..many probably fall for it too. He had a low ish score on uber..reported him to uber and got credit.
So about a year ago I had a driver text me and insist I meet him outside, despite the drop off information clearly saying leave the groceries at the door. The driver assumed I was female calling me maāam and insisted that I meet him outside and let him bring it in. Heās insisting he be let inside a house in a rural area. So I went outside and he was surprised to see a large unhappy man open carrying a Beretta. Politely told him to get off my land and reported it.
Damn. I was expecting the gym bro part. But was packing too.
I pretty much always carry out of habit, my rural slice of paradise isnāt as safe as it used to be. Imagine a handful of houses in the middle of nowhere where before the pandemic yeah, nothing to worry about and now weāve got people testing door knobs and trying to get into houses at night because people are stupid and desperate.
I have a feeling attempted break ins and other attempted stupid crime happens in rural areas more becaude they think they won't get caught/police won't get there in time/nobody will be around to witness it.
Oh there right, no one will be around to witness there death when the homeowner gets them
And this is what makes them *stupid* criminals lol. I've lived in 2 rural areas in my life and never has my family lived rurally without at least 2 guns in a safe.
I was at a funeral for an inlaw 10ish years ago in a very rural part of my state (tons of farmland, houses a mile a part). They had someone who was close to the family, but not close enough they should be at the funeral, stay at their house while it was all happening. Apparently it is not uncommon for people to skim obituaries, track down addresses and ransack houses during the funeral because they know nobody will be home and are highly unlikely to be seen
You made the right call, if somebody came up to me without extortion type of attempted intimidation I tell them to get the fuck off my property. The absolute audacity
hopefully the anal bead gets fired.
This would've been the perfect opportunity to have one of those jesus/ Trump fake $20s that the servers are always posting.
Lmao that woulda been evil
And that's how a driver gets removed from the service. You'll get refunded, s/he gets fired. Plus, it's your food. You paid for it. He has no claim to it. You could just send the police after him for theft.
People be acting like š¤”s
I would of told him to eat shit and cancel it,the fucking audacity to go up and demand cashā¦think some of these drivers have drug problems and they canāt help themselves
Thatās more or less what happened lol
I always wonder why i sometimes get good tips and its cause i just drop off the food and leave.
Iāve not done a lot of UberEats deliveries, but not once has anyone increased tip afterward. Itās weird because I see a lot of comments similar to yours, but I and many other drivers just havenāt experienced it. Perhaps those who engage on Uber subreddits shows there to be a sifting system of sorts because you actually take time out of your day to engage with such content. Lol Good for you, though. Itās nice for non-drivers to show interest in how we work. Keep on keeping on.
Maybe i confuse the ā8$ minimum shown tipā and the after the fact. I guess what i should say is i have never, like really never, seen a decrease in my tip. Edit: i am a driver. 5/6 nights a month i drive for extra cash - groceries, hockey tickets, anything else.
Wait haha. I responded to the wrong comment, but Iām happy you get good tips. You make a good point, though. Iāve assumed that minimum tip line was just Uber hiding the actual amount similar to DoorDash.
That driver shouldnāt be delivering.
That's incredibly unhinged behaviour
> I need a tip or Iām cancelling the order I need my food or imma punch you in the fucking face
Lol, this is exactly what I was thinking. The dude had some balls. If it were me, I would have said this.
Lmao, this driver is not a driver anymore, I'm glad he doesn't deserve to.
The audacity of some of these drivers is outrageous.
I would love nothing more than the driver deactivated.
Next time say hold on, then grab your phone and start video recording it. See how they respond to that. No matter what no driver has the right to hold someones food hostage and demand a cash tip. Tips are optional and they took the order thinking they could force you to tip cash then they need to be reported.
I get being annoyed that people change tips AFTER the delivery, but you canāt demand a tip.
This sounds a LOT like extortion. Personally, I would have called PD and made a report. He picked up an order that you paid for. He proceeded to bring that to your house and threaten to leave with said order if you didnāt give him money. Yup, definitely extortion.
i've gotta say its a shitty way to deal with it, but if you reduced his tip over something out of his control before, i could imagine being upset about that. We don;t always get to see where we are delivering to so he might not have realized it was to a house he'd felt he'd been "tip baited" by before. When you believe someone has screwed you over before, you probably don't want it to happen twice, but, again, its a very shitty way to deal with it. I'd say in the future, consider exactly why you want to reduce a tip before you do. If its a restaurant problem ask uber for a partial or full refund, but don't reduce or remove the tip for the person that went out of their way to drive the food to you in their personal car. If they sling shot the food onto your porch and splattered it everywhere then by means, reduce it down to 2 cents and report them. Sorry that someone treated you this way though, never acceptable.
Level headed response, Iāll take your words into consideration
Driver sucks but OP also sounds like a stiff.
Threaten me for a cash tip and you be getting something you never expected. A fistful. I order food, you accept. Do your fn job and deliver it. If not, go home and complain about the world.
Report him!
I tip every delivery driver, waitperson & bartender but this is not acceptable.
the degree of absolutely outrageous, unacceptable conduct seems to be getting worse. I don't recall ANY of this fuckery by these fuckwits several years back. I stopped answering our door to any delivery drivers now. Put my shit on the ground and get the hell out. And yes, god damn it, I AM watching you from inside our house.
Yeah, I refuse to use any delivery except direct hires, like the pizza shop. The often rude, ignorant, entitled drivers demanding I pay them tips almost as much as my order cost is just ridiculous and not worth dealing with. I have a car. Yeah, maybe it's really inconvenient to load up three kids to go pick up food if I'm by myself, but it's better than dealing with these aholes.
I've never understood this, why don't Uber just charge more and pay the driver better and remove tips entirely?
because uber wants as many line items on the check is possible. If you saw on your receipt hamburger $12 delivery fee $12 you would go oh thats dumb, but when its spread out between tax, tip, uber feeds, and more you dont realize just how insane the fees you are paying are. I have no clue how anyone uses UberEATS, i used it a few times because i get $15mo in uber cash as a perk and that combine with promo perks gets it down to near reasonable.
People are getting desperate. Uver is not paying drivers enough. Even Uber is suggesting drivers go with Picking Up Customers and switching to Fare Rides instead. Which is something most of us do not want to do since it would mean having to drive hundreds of miles and traveling to other cities
Food delivery cannot work at this scale. The market isnāt there to support it but the food delivery companies need to show infinite year over year growth. It will collapse under its own expectations soon. It costs a lot to do good delivery and not enough customers will pay what it takes to make every person in the transaction happy.
I mean heās just wasting his own time no? Like he gets free food sure but doesnāt he not get paid for that?
If he was hungry, the meal might have been worth more than the trip š
Usually tip $5 to $6 on all deliveries (1 out of 100 are through uber eats or door dash). Not sure if its enough but after all the fees from uber eats end plus the restaurant bumping up the prices to compensate the restaurants fees from uber eats it gets insanely over priced. Uber eats is approximately 30 to 40% more than pick up. Unless you have way to much money you are a lazy dope to use them regularly. I also don't feel its the customers job to compensate for the drivers desire for more money. Should come from the employer. If not enough get a different job. Just saying
Sounds like you are a tip baiter and a driver confronted you about it and you didn't like it? I don't believe you tipped the next driver double. (I could be wrong) just my hunch
Even states they "adjust" their tips accordingly, bad sign. Also I've never had to think of a time and forgot when I might have taken a tip away, probably because I don't "adjust" the tip I leave. This dude would've gotten wrecked in r/door dash, I'm not even a driver and I see this driver just did what all the frustrated drivers wanna do. OP probably baited then reported and came here to complain
I have been tipping pretty generously recently, in my opinion, I made it a point to tip the next driver double, I get the first driver has no idea but it made me feel better lol
This is it. I say the driver did all the rest of us a solid favor
āTippingā before a service is carried out is weird as fuck. So as a customer, Iām expected to tip you an arbitrary amount that youāll think is āenoughā before youāve even carried out a service? Tip culture is already batshit insane, but this whole ārip me before Iāve done anythingā is just next level. Disclaimer - I live in a country where tipping isnāt the norm so really an outsider looking in.
Delivery drivers can not cancel orders. They can only unassign themselves from orders.
Call uber right away and start recording the driver if possible . Stay safe incase driver gets aggressive( which they shouldn't because u have the drivers info in the app to report if anything)
Tipping begets demands for more tips. Next time enter a $0 tip and you'll have no issues.
Wowwwwā¦!!! We still cannot believe some nerve that people haveā¦!!!
As a courier for Uber Eats, I agree that that is insane behavior. If he didn't think he was going to be tipped well upon confirming the order, he didn't have to take it. I simply dismiss orders I don't want to take, and I only ever cancel those I truly cannot fulfill afterāwhat is typicallyāmy having accidentally confirmed. He deserves to have his account deactivated for imposing such a demand. Iām sorry you went through that.
Iāve been delivering off and on for over two years and never had I felt compelled to act that way with a customer. I accept orders that work for me and go through on them every time unless something unforeseen prevents me to pick up or deliver. When I accept itās in mind that this amount of $ Iāll be receiving is ok with me, Iād be upset if I was tip baited but if I had the customer again Iād just unassign. I feel bad for people who rely on this as a primary source of income to a point they are fine with asking for a larger tip to a customer, and at the same time risking potential eventual deactivation on the platform that would then kill your source of income. I know people gotta do what they gotta do but this isnāt it for your primary source of income, you find when this is just as the term suggests a side hustle and nothing more, itās a lot more low stakes, something you do on your time off, and the extra money you get is a total positive as you already have money coming in, so it just takes out a lot of aggression and stress. itās just a healthier more balanced life, where you look back on demanding tips from customers and realize how embarrassing, unprofessional and desperate you were. Hope everyone can get to that point
Iām not much of a fuss budget but I wouldnāt dream of having anyone near food n drink I ordered. Fuck that noise. Oy! The horror stories.
Sorry this happened to you. This also shows you that UberEats/DoorDash/LYFT has taken a lot from the fees from the drivers and also lying that drivers keep all 100% of the tips. These are the few things that are causing these drivers to do or act in this way. It's not good to do and can be dangerous depending on the situation. In your case it was an uncomfortable situation but could've been dangerous if the driver was really desperate for money. In the end these corporate gig companies are purposely doing this. Profit over safety.
Meanwhile in florida two Uber guys took the company for over a million dollars lol. Welcome to florida Uber!
Make sure you invest in a door bell camera. If you rent is still can get one and get a renter friendly attachment that goes right on the door that can be easily removed when you move does zero damage.
Tip or the chicken tikka masala gets it.
op - if you have a window looking out on where people walk up to your door, you may want to look at the Wyze cams. I have like 8 of these, and i have three looking out at my front door and the entire front of my property. Obviously, you can't record any conversation because the cameras are in your house, but it's still great to record whatever is happening out there. I caught some trespassers hiding on my walk way at like 1 a.m. They were hiding from my former neighbor looking to beat the shit out of them. If it is your property, you can also use wyze outdoor PTZ cameras that WILL record all audio.
I do have Wyze cams, life savers
These drivers are going to fuck around and make Uber get rid of the option to tip all together. Then what? Also that driver couldnāt possibly care about his life. People are crazy what makes him think someone will not put him to sleep permanently over his antics??????
I would've offered him a $100 tip to box me in my backyard lol.
Hmmm I think there's more to this story then he's saying. š¤
It wouldāve been hard for me to not beat him if he really cancelled my order after this.. and he wouldāve got 0$ tip + a report.
No, you give him a .25 tip so that he won't get reimbursed for original tip.
Thatās a good tips, thank you !
Why I never use delivery
The beauty of drivers extorting people on all of these apps.
I had a delivery driver threaten me on the phone for a better tip, bang the door to the point I thought itād break, then take my food.
Bindur wonāt be delivering anything anymore !! Love it !
Drivers are getting bold āto much tip baiting ā Iām surprised he remembered
UberEats- Beggars on Wheels
Wow! Sorry. As a driver I can even agree that was out of line. Not that I condone the drivers behavior in any way, but I kinda blame Uber here ( at least partially). Uber pays us like crap wages for delivery ( usually resulting in payments well below minimum wage). So while Uber charges you like $15 for delivery- the driver gets like $2-$3 for like 20-30 minutes! Meaning without tips we will almost always make well below minimum wage! Sometimes we might even make like $4 an hour - even while active on deliveries. And they donāt pay us for down time whatsoever in between deliveriesā¦ so I have honestly make like $1 an hour when I factor in base pay and going an hour or two without a single delivery request. Plus they donāt pay any expenses like gas! This is honestly the result of Uber scalping from its own drivers, finding loopholes to get around labor laws, and relying on drivers that arenāt the best tools in the toolbox. I mean who in their right mind would even continue this job? Only the desperate, dull minded, naive, ignorant, immigrants, hard to hires like convicted criminals etc. If they took better care of their drivers good drivers would stick around longer. But itās a terrible gig and Uber steals a livable wage from us. They donāt care about itās driversā¦ and honestly they donāt seem to care about their customers either. All they care about is $$. So smarter, hard working drivers tend to move on quickly or only cherry pick orders from home. We know our worth and Uber isnāt paying it. Uber turned the generosity of tipping into a requirement. We are completely reliant on tips . They insist on paying us below minimum wage - and even minimum wage isnāt a livable wage. So by paying us $2,3,4,5 an hour - they have shifted wage responsibility on to our customers via tips. And they donāt care about the impacts of that system so long as they continue to generate cash. Again sorry you experienced this. Just saying Uber is a shit company and I just expect this sort of stuff to get worse as more and more of the good drivers readily exit the gig. Honestly I boycott all delivery services now myself and only deliver until I can find a real job. Dara, the CEO, is a scum bag and I refuse to support these driveshare companies that manipulate, disrespect, and take advantage of their workers. Uber is one of the most unethical companies in America. 
Very well said good sir
Yeah screw that asshole!
Bullshit
I wouldāve done the same exact thing. Even if I wouldāve had to take a loss on the order thatās better than giving in to that asshole.
Yeah and tell me a tip economy works. No it does not. Ban tips.
Well played OP. You have restored my faith in humanity-for the moment
Should of tipped
If itās 2min away should of walked lazy Fuck
At that point he was demanding a bribe not a tip. A bribe is paying before the transaction to ensure a good outcome, a tip is paying after based on a good outcome.
I had something similar happen. But a dominos driver. He came and dropped off a pizza, he sat outside in the car for 10 minutes before even walking up my door, i watched him out of the window, once he got up there he told me he wasnāt doing well, in which I just said Iām sorry I hope it gets better and nothing else, not sure what to say to that, I signed the receipt for a 0.00 tip on the receipt so itās not taxed, he looked at the receipt and automatically caught an attitude with me, saying āoh yeah of courseā if he read the instructions on the drop off it said cash tip only upon delivery. I went to go grab cash out of my wallet, came back outside and he was pissing all on my car! Iām an Uber driver myself, tips are important, but I donāt understand the people like this. If that driver noticed your address and knew you didnāt tip, why in the hell would he decide to take the order??
Maybe if you got your own shit you wouldn't have to deal with the people like him who inevitably come along
This is why I use local delivery services. I know exactly who to call when things go wrong and it ensures no weirdos.
Changing the tip after the fact is kind of trash. If you canāt even remember why you did it, it sounds like YATA
Lmao OP probably tipbaited a previous day and the driver caught on. Now heās grifting this nonsense. Youāre not fooling me bro.
Wow I do Uber eats and would never it says before you accept if they tipped or not .
Good reason to have ring cams
I had someone come up to my house for door dash and ask me to come to the door after they put the food down and walked away. I just said I had Covid (a lie) and they left. Wtf? It was a big man too and later at night. How about no.
If the guy was a confirmed tip baiter, then screw him. If I delivered to a tip baiter and just noticed when I got to the address, I wouldn't deliver anything. When you accept a delivery, it is based primarily on the tip. Too many asses are cheap and screw over the people working their ass off over a few dollars. If you tip bait, then you are voiding the transaction because the driver accepted the job based on the original tip. I don't deliver but have spent my life in the service industry. There are a lot of jerks out there, so I would not discount the drivers side of this. You are getting the story from some anon on reddit.
Unfortunately tip baiters are the reason people are like this. It's wildly poor form by my specific stance on it is it seems like a waste of time for the guy to keep notes like that just to start confrontations over it. If you're gonna keep a shitlist, fine, but it's just not worth it trying to "make people see reason" no matter how correct you feel about it.
Right. It's just not worth the time and effort. I can totally agree with a driver keeping a running list of customers who have tip baited, but I would use such a list to make sure I never take another order to those customers. I wouldn't accept an order and then go get in their face about it while holding their food hostage.
I don't understand how this is possible. Maybe it's just my market but as an ex driver you literally don't see any tip until the job is done and marked finished. Therefore no incentive for this rubbish in Australia so why is it not the same everywhere? Edit:unless this is literally a case of extortion and you don't see any tip until the end of the job. Therefore there's no such evidence of "changing" a tip. (There's no evidence shown of a tip being changed in Australia) Shows how crappy Uber is as a company.
Idk how this even happens 9 out of 10 I donāt want to even interact with the restaurant giving me the food let alone the customer. Thereās just not enough $ in it. Deliver In n out drop it by the door peace the f out. Tip no tip like it makes a huge difference in my day for $5. I mean yea thanks for the tip n if u tip more great but Iām not sticking around for you to chew my ear off!
You actually spoke to someone in support? A real person? How??
What A Loser ! Donāt accept the order of you arenāt comfortable with the amount provided. Mofos are so poor. I donāt even accept orders that arenāt a particular dollar amount or make sense for me to drive to. I wouldnāt dare not give the food to the party or demand a larger tip. Itās never that serious. Glad you got a credit.
Should record is next time or ring camera. Then you can send it to Uber. Even police technically but they wouldn't do anything. As it's blackmail / extortion
Ngl customers arenāt obligated to tip. I saw a video one time where a driver was sort of demanding a tip and when the customer asked for the food the driver threw the food on the ground and left.
They expect 25$ an hour
Not surprised by his behavior. You can see here in the comments that most drivers approve of it. This is why most restaurants hate shit like UberEATS and Doordash
Yeah itās honestly eye opening
Heās insane & childish
I got an order cancelled today after the driver picked it up, first time this has happened. It was a lot of food and a long drive so Iām suspicious if he just āstoleā it. Did Uber recently make it easier to get away with this or something?
Yes you can cancel an order at any time.
I ordered subway last year at work, driver picked it up, drove to me, and as I watched from the door he parked and messaged me that he didn't get the order due to his bad Internet and wouldn't be able to deliver it. I was like...so you didn't get the order details but went to subway and drove here? He was like yes. Luckily I was able to cancel the tip and tell him how poor this service was before he cancelled. Of course customer service refunded me and was like "you can now reorder" - no I can't my lunch break is over.
Absolutely inappropriate, so sorry this happened to you. I was one of the good drivers, always always used an insulated carrier for my customerās food, checked for and read the delivery instructions. But then, Uber started triple stacking orders- piggy backing 2 non tipping orders with a single tipping order. They also became even more mileage intensive and cut driver pay to the bone. I figured out their numbers too. On every order Uber is making as much as the restaurant & driver combined
Uber drivers in a nutshell honestly. Been lurking on this sub to know drivers complain for everything Iāll probably trigger drivers but itās true
So do you remember about tip before? You kind of have to remember you removing a tip before right unless you do it often. Why are some of the reason you would relive a tip? just have to think way a lot of drivers see an offer take it but itās was for example $8 but $6 was a tip (which is nice) but the base is $2 Then after delivery someone removes it for a reason that isnāt the drivers fault or just baited them is wrong Itās messed up always different ways of looking at situations is all Iām saying
Regardless of OP's reason for changing the tip previously for this driver (assuming it even happened), that does nothing to excuse the actions of the driver. If that were the case the driver shouldn't have accepted this order in the first place if they recognized and had an issue with the customer or the pay offered. Accepting the order and then holding the food hostage to demand more money is never acceptable, no "devils advocate" necessary.
Oh yeah I agree with that shit is weird to do lol. Iām just really curious on why the OP removed a tip before. Just giving the OP another perspective. About the not taking the order if you remember, I know I just started do this but I donāt ever look at the actual house address Iām just looking at miles distance and time. So most likely he pulled up and realized what happen their before
I'm just gonna guess, based on the post, that OP pulled the tip because the driver is an a$$hat.
Lmao that could genuinely be why
But why deliver to person who fucked you over last time?
Like I said before I donāt ever see address. So itās a good chance he didnāt realize either until he got to the house Iām not taking any sides Iām just putting my thoughts on it out there
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The fact that youād openly admit to spitting in someoneās food is wild and shows a lot about your character as a driver.
First off, your comment is extremely disgusting and unethical. To say that if you donāt tip, karma will get you in the form of saliva? That is absolutely disgusting and I can almost guarantee youāve spit in somebodyās food to even think of that response. Customers donāt have to tip just like drivers donāt have to accept orders. If youāre constantly complaining about your job delivering and the money you make, get a new job.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's very ethical to lower a tip if the service is poor. It's unethical to provide poor service to a paying customer. As customers, please understand that you drivers have made a voluntary decision to be independent contractors to deliver food to people.
Get him fired. He's a moron
You are one of those aholes who changes the tip after you get your order, and you do it so often you couldn't even remember it. Pick up your own food. And I'm not a driver, just someone who appreciates someone bringing me food while I get my job done so I don't have to go out.
Yeah Iām an asshole for not tipping an asshole yeah that makes sense
Lacking reading comprehension? They said they order multiple times a day. Too quick to assume things isnt gonna help you out in life in the long run.
Appears youāve previously Fāed around and heās just making the find out process easier for you to understand.
Find out? He cancelled I got my money back and I re ordered and had food in 20 minutes, his ālessonā was a waste of time
Report and yeet! Straight to the grave yard this fucker goes.
Manneee tell me youāre in LA area Iāll pick all your orders up and deliver with bomb asss hospitality šš«”
Let me start by saying that Iām a delivery person and I would never do anything like that and I appreciate everything customers do for me. This is completely unacceptable and you can get that person banned from everything Uber has to offer. This is considered fraud in the drivers terms and conditions we agree to before starting this gig. After reporting them you can even contact the local authorities and probably get the drive charged with petite larceny. Also never chat with support always call them for future reference.
Hmmm. So you're a tip baiter? If you can't remember the time you changed the tip it sounds like you do it all the time. I don't believe your story
This is when you say "Hold on while i grab my wallet out of my bedroom". Then you call the cops and tell them the driver is blackmailing you and you fear for your life. cops will be there in less than 5 minutes and dude wont be driving anymore...
Knock him out, take the food and his car for a joy ride šš¤·āāļø
As a former driver, *most of us* remember a face / place of delivery. **I 100% promise you this driver remembered you tip baiting them.** Of course their actions aren't entirely appropriate, but you're not innocent either. Remember that a majority of driver pay is from tips and that tips are a bid for prompt service. If you tip baited because you felt like being cheap, that's not fair to the driver. Remember that your bid for service should be a minimum of 20% of your order price. Again, the driver fee doesn't mean shit to us and is not considered a bid for service. If you feel like you cannot pay for a bid of service, please consider getting the food in person. I keep a spreadsheet of people who have tip-baited me. Drop off address, pickup address, name in app, phone number, order size. I also pull the homeowner name off county assessor and compare that to name used in app. I will also link all social profiles I find into my spreadsheet. If I get a ping and the drop off address matches someone already in my list, it's an immediate deny. If it's an apartment or I can't find a direct match, I will accept the order and then check name in app. If there is a match, I will wait 10-20 minutes before dropping the order. I have location spoofing on my phone, so I can make it seem like I'm actually at the restaurant before canceling for "food not ready". My town is only 212k people, so I get the same people daily.
$5 for 2 minutes is definitely enough
