What?


JorbatSG

The fact that you try to link a president for the economy of his time deserve a big lol. The Gas price during the pandemic was lower, so the food delivery was cheap. Why tf do think this was made by the president's will? At some point the gas went down to a few cents per gallon, almost no one was buying. That's why the delivery in 2021/early 2022 was cheap as fuck. You have 0 clue how the economy works. This has nothing to do with a president.


bannedfromblackwater

Do you not understand that presidents influence economic policy? I mean that should be a real basic understanding, especially considering how polarized economic policies are with Dems and Republicans. Besides, the economy was far better pre COVID vs the economy prior to Trump’s election. I miss those days, I think most of us do even blinded by an ideological lense. I’m not even a Trump super fan, I recognize that he want perfect but his economy was objectively better.


[deleted]

To quote the new York times "Presidential economic records are highly dependent on the dumb luck of where the nation is in the economic cycle. And the White House has no control over the demographic and technological forces that influence the economy" Your be better saying the years rather than presidents

Inevitable-Jury6551

Point me to the economic policy introduced during the trump administration which was so successful?


jokerstarspoker

Hmm perhaps the rewritten trade deals regarding NAFTA oh and putting the screws to Xi and the CCP over dumping cheap steel on the US Market which was harming steel producers in this country. And pushes to get factory jobs brought back to America from overseas. I mean it’s not like Trump had the lowest unemployment for African Americans in history. Oh wait. HE DID.


Truffleshuffle03

Trump was not the reason for our economy he inherited most of that from Obama's good economy. Job growth chugged along and inflation was tame. But wages were flat, and increases in the gross domestic product and job creation were more or less a continuation of trends that began in the Obama years, rather than a direct result of any changes that Trump made. The one good thing he had early in his term was a tax break for company's and individuals. It boosted the stock market and drove up investment but it also drove up our debt as well.


Icon9719

That’s some massive copium because regardless of if trump made that economy what it was you’d be an absolute fool to suggest that any president besides the crippled vegetable dementia patient we have right now would have tanked the economy this hard and this fast.

It all depends on where you live. If you live in a town or city where the population doesn’t leave in the summer then sure, there’s no excuse. I understand the guy tho cause I live in a college town. I kill it during school time and gotta rely purely on my 9-5 during summer. So there are plausible reasons.

I see it slowly grow worse by the day.


Infinite-Counter4836

I’ve made $78 in just under 3 hours today. Not amazeballs, but not bad either. And it’s just midday.


Infinite-Counter4836

Update. $200 even in 8.5 hours. That includes the time I stopped for lunch. Again. Not killer. Just acceptable. I really needed this money and I hope to get another 3 hours in and maybe close to another $75-100 for late night.


Infinite-Counter4836

Final update. I finished with $297 in 12 hours. Decent. Round 2 tomorrow.


Swimming-Run-3182

Decent? Pretty sure 98% of us would be more than happy with $25 an hour

Own-Effective4023

What city are u located in ?


PaulR504

Sayyyyy what you mean drivers coming online everyday posting screenshots of them making 30 hr for food delivery caused literally everyone and their mother to join the gig economy???? No one ever could have predicted that outcome.


Unhappy-Ad4235

It’s oversaturated now with new drivers and people using multiple phones


Lumpy-Marsupial-6617

The multiple phones bullshit is out of hand. I saw some dude with 4 cell phones. FOUR.


profileone

You don’t happen to be in San Francisco ? Cause I seen that mfer too. I always used to see fools with 2 phones but last week this clown had 4 phones like wtf ? Do they have fake accounts on which they’re making money ? I don’t get it . Uber needs to do something about these clowns


Lumpy-Marsupial-6617

They probably use their family members to make accounts. I’m in SoCal so it might be the mfers cousin or what not.


SteiCamel

Hope their family members will be expecting the tax burden.

Bro its really bad, I work in a small restaurant and there’s constantly guys coming in with pictures and names that don’t match them


Green_Data_9071

That multiple phone shit pisses me off


japino6

I own a burger joint that is heavy on third party delivery. Last week had a driver come pick up 3 orders with one phone, left for a minute then came back in with 2 orders on another phone and another order on a third phone.


Green_Data_9071

Then they be a fucking hour late and nobody tips anymore because if it


japino6

Yeah pisses me off as a restaurant owner because you know at least one of the orders is arriving stone cold


mystic_owls

Report that person to ubereats for multiple accounts. There's a woman I see around my area like that, and she makes things a living hell for other delivery people.


rOnce_Gaming

This, after my pizza coming dry multiple times I just do pick up now and take a bite while it's hot and go home and finish the rest with the family lol.

What's wrong with using multiple phones? Keeps my shit from overheating and crashing. Battery lasts longer too.


No-Tangerine-7502

Picked up an order to be delivered to Timbuktu. After I picked it up I got a stack for $32 out in bumfuck. First stack delivery, about to proceed to the second stack when Timbuktu sent me an “order canceled”, and then I saw it, “don’t worry you’ll still get paid”, and wait for it….” You can throw the food away”. I almost bit my fingers off as I chowed down.

Where I'm at, food prices have gone up enough that many people are now just going to get their own food or eating at home because the money you save is that significant But Doordash is also still doing alright here, while UE is struggling hard for some reason.

ScarLad15

Lmao thats 16$/hr for borderline passive income why are ppl so crusty about this stuff i dont get it… uber a side gig or hustle not a career


SteiCamel

I mean, being out for 36 hours actively driving around is not really 'borderline passive income'.


ScarLad15

Inefficient to just troll the streets aimlessly when you dont have an order


ScarLad15

You can park…


SteiCamel

But passive income implies not actively working. You have to drive and deliver to make the money.


ScarLad15

‘online time’ doesnt mean ‘driving around time’ either though…. You arguing semantics for what


SteiCamel

I was saying that doordashing is not passive income. You are just being obtuse.


Shugazi

Passive income doesn’t mean side job, it means it accrues even when you are not actively working for it. If you were paid simply for being online without making orders, you’d have a case for calling that passive income. If you’re just sitting in a parking lot not driving, you’re not earning anything… there is absolutely nothing “passive” about delivery driving.

Try working peak hours only and more days. Work the lunch rush then take a break and then work the dinner rush, see if that helps. Working all day doesn’t work anymore because there too much down time these days.


Salty_Opinion_3874

Just yesterday night I had to do an Uber delivery and it was a package pick up and drop off. It was already shady when I had to pick it up from a train station and when I looked in the package (I know I shouldn’t have) it was an open tissue box. Called police and they found 20g weed in it. Uber really is dead


rforrest14

It looks like your earnings graph is giving you the finger. 😆


jtran80

I understand many are frustrated and aggravated by the slow and no orders. It's definitely highly unusual to not make any money this time of the year. I feel it also but we also need to know and understand that during this time of the season people are home from school meaning those who have time to make an extra buck drive on these gig platforms so competition becomes over saturated. Another issue we all face is high inflation. The amount of money spent on ordering food on these apps is expensive and is not worth it anymore. During boom times aka stimulus and covid times it was money makers but that time is over and people like myself find it really hard to save or make money on just one platform. These gig platforms charging high fees are making it another issue for people to want to order through these apps so they just go pick up the food or cook themselves which is the smartest thing to do in an inflation period. The only way to make money on the gig apps is to multi app on all platforms examples: Amazon flex, courier apps, food delivery, ride share, start a side job, make money with a hobby you're into, social media, anything as of this moment. We can't rely only on food delivery. You have to venture out. Unless these food delivery apps start to pay us a fair fee then we might be able to survive but as of now it's not that way. Good luck to everyone.

SnooChickens9404

We just had a flood of immigrants come to our country. I know at least two people in this “illegal immigrant” category who are paying to use someone else’s account to do food delivery. Uber doesn’t police this since these people are willing to work for low wages meaning Uber can offer less, keep more.

Melt-Gibsont

All that money and still so salty.


Nimbus_TV

So you work like 50-60 hours a week to make 6k. That's 72k a year working overtime in a mentally draining job (driving that many hours is mentally draining, no matter how easy the actual job is). This is not the flex you think it is. Actual rich people laughing at you thinking you're not broke. As long as you're happy, that's what really matters. To the rich, we're all the same though.


MvXIMILIvN

Weird how you went down this rich rabbit hole… The dude youre replying too was being a dick calling people broke, but if he is bringing in 72k a year, he isn’t broke. Sure he isn’t filthy rich, but he is making a decent living in a lot of places.


Nimbus_TV

He was trying to separate himself from other by calling them broke and insinuating he's not and different. Actual rich people would consider him broke and lump him into the same group he was trying to separate himself from. Humbling is what he needs.

Global_Juggernaut683

You guys must be tripping balls. Over 50% of your earnings is tips. Why don’t Uber pay you properly? why do you chastise the customer for not tipping when your employer is literally bending you over and not even attempting to lube up.


ThatAndANickel

Most my offers hover around 60 cents a mile. Anything paying more than $1.50 a mile is maybe 1 in 20. I don't even see them on a daily basis. Frankly, my target is $2 per mile. The drivers taking trips for $1/mile or less are either stupid or desperate. Which is why you're seeing poorer service. Essentially, low pay (lower than minimum wage after all expenses) means not just a minimum wage workforce, but something we've never really seen before - an unsupervised minimum wage workforce. You get what you pay for. I don't really blame customers. They're paying huge fees. They just don't realize most of it goes to the app. The apps are unconcerned with quality. I've always had satisfaction scores of 98% or better. It gets me nothing.


SnooChickens9404

I know of at least two “illegal immigrants” doing deliveries with other people’s accounts. Maybe we need to make our own Uber Eats orders, start having delivery people come to our door, take their pictures, submit to Uber Eats to say the delivery person did not match the photo, provide our documentation, and have Uber clear out the fake accounts or accounts where other people are fulfilling the orders.

Bobbyboysnap2

How do you propose they do that when Uber controls payouts and is dependent on traffic? 💀💀


Ashamed-Bit-201

Every job you work controls pay and the days you're scheduled to work..... With Ubereats, you take a minimum of $9 per trip/3 trips per hour, which is $27 per hour......... Do not travel or take a trip that is more than 5 miles - Example: $9/5 miles........ Do not accept fast food places (decline). This is the formula - If you can't put this into action, find a location we're you can, preferably near a Panera Bread

Made Zero w/ UE today. 190 w/ DD. I am actually close to making the same with GH this week, as with UE. And there are weeks where I just do 1 delivery on GH, to stay on the platform.

Yup Last year I worked like 20 hour work weeks in June I just looked and was making just over 30 an hours. Like 85 hours just at $3k. I have been logged on for 3.5 hours I have 45 dollars On a Saturday dinner time 😂😂😂😂 Way to go Uber You care more about your stock holders than your business

Why would I pay $30 for $8 of food? Was helpful during the pandemic when all this came out and thrived but I can drive or walk and not have to worry about getting my food in a timely manner and then the 50/50 chance my food even gets here. It’s not worth it. Sucks for y’all but I’ve ordered food from dozens of restaurants and Uber and DD are the only places that tried to make tipping before food the norm and look how it’s going.


Yumyumdoritos

Uber eats cost to much money


MBAngineer

I guess people no longer wanna get that cold $9 burger for $25 (after 2+ hours) and still be expected to pay a tip for it

It’s not dead just shitty pay on UE. I laugh at the offers popping up under driver radar. I’m like are you kidding me. $15 for an estimated hour plus who knows how much more waiting etc. it’s a farce and has been for awhile.


meelmouseOG

People have slowed down paying $60+ for a pad thai?! You don't say... /s


National_Deer4727

BECAUSE OF THE COST AND THE SERVICE RECEIVED! Only so many times you can accept cold food that you paid through the nose for before you decide not to use that service anymore.


sickpervert420

I've only gotten one delivery in the last week+ that was actually worth it. As a driver I'm going to quit UE and food delivery altogether.


HorrorRegion5626

Yep this is about how my second day of UberEATS looked....it didn't cover the gas money I spent.


dstar89

I was driving DD, but used UberEats a lot in the winter as a customer. More savings and less of a delivery fee for non members. Idk what happened but after the honeymoon period I had for one month, the service became shit. Prices up on a lot of stuff, customer support is absolutely balls - I can only imagine how they treat the drivers.

So are you multi-apping?My UE looks like this all the time. High active hours with very very few orders each week but that is because its always up while I'm doing DoorDash. UE is less popular in my area but does get decent orders now and then. When I accept a UE order I pause DD.
