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]

​@@ChrisJones-wv8lt If she needed money, she'd be losing money doing upside down orders. The govt says in 2024 that it costs 67 cents to operate an automobile for 1 mile. So, a 10 mile drive costs the driver/car owner $6.70. Meaning, earnings don't start until 68 cents and more per mile.

[@rachmunshine9474]

@@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. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@rachmunshine9474]

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. 😮

[@avatarinum]

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]

I agree!

[@Leroyjenkins999]

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

[@avatarinum]

@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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Uber should pay tolls i live in an area that has a lot of tolls and they should be aware of that because i owed 20 dollars in tolls its crazy

[@eddiesolis2929]

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

[@MrMoralez559]

I hope it's easy to do taxes it's going to be my first year trying

[@laurel1865]

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!

[@MrMoralez559]

@@laurel1865 awesome thanks for the info I appreciate it

[@williampartridge4595]

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.

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

Anything less than at least $5 should be obsolete for Uber Eats.

[@dsy096]

If you want to pay driver $3 SMH, you just drive yourself and get your damn foods😅

[@robbrown3941]

Thank for the info cutie. 😊

[@jamalmiles41]

They offered me 2,3,4,5 that’s why I don’t drive on the east side of Cleveland

[@rubygreen1249]

I assume I'm getting about 2 -3 deliveries per hour so if I dollar per mile is important but also if you want to get into higher pay per hour you need a base rate like she said no lower than $6. Higher than fuel by a bit and if you can take 3 in the hour you average out to $18 an hour. This is how I personally go about it. I've only gotten lucky a couple times where the tip was hidden and it payed off doing a low paying order... but they should really update the system so it's a bid for delivery and then at the end do the tip because customer satisfaction comes after delivery amd the bid gets the driver to want to take the job.... we are 10-99 individual contractors.... even though we answer to doordash and do infection get penalized for rejecting orders that are not within our bid range to take the work.

[@harmonylove334]

My app is not showing me how much the order is and how much the miles are BEFORE I choose to accept it.😮

[@fazez4409]

Brandon/ Valrico has the worst traffic its no way i would take anything under $10. I hate they let the customer change the tip. If i only took the order for the amount listed. I think its bullshit

[@daniellejames8028]

They don't ACTUALLY PAY THAT AMOUNT. Flag said 12.95. took over an hour and into another town. They paid me 2.35 TWO DOLLARS AND 35 CENTS. Its not the only time either. Daytona Beach here. Fail never do eats . AEVER.

[@msliz1029]

Wait so that dollar amount is the total for the clients purchase or what you’ll make if you accept?

[@OriginalKarasu]

Do u have uber x enabled so u get surges with ur uber eats orders?

[@Saieddie009]

I will take all of this ! I live in Japan ! And it’s crazy ! Most of order are 2$ or less and it’s normal to drive for 10 km for just 5 dollar 😂 ! I think if you try uberjapan you will never do ! For 2 hour Uber or 3 hour you will make 10 dollar or 20 dollar

[@diegog1291]

That $3 order isn't even acceptable in California with prop 22. If I took 30 minutes it would still only be about $10, still under the mileage. I would have to drag it out to a 45 min -1 hr delivery 😂

[@user-sy6ud4xf5i]

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?

[@Gamerx23333]

If we get 1mill uber in lyft drivers to stop driving for a month I bet the pay would be 100% better, guaranteed

[@tudyloco1726]

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

[@thriftybins]

Whats happens if no one takes those orders? Im assuming they refund the customer and the fòod gets thrown away?

[@The_Twilight_Cuts]

If you actually complain to customer service after completing some low ball fares, they instantly pay you!

[@DobrovolskyiSerhii]

Yeah and you spend in your car 20h for 200 dollars.

[@raa8504]

15 miles for $5 lol where we live

[@1ledp621]

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

[@ai_coding]

Years ago u would see big orders all day. $200 was doable. Now its just a scam. Going to have to stop using the hotbag & being quick. Adjust to a much lower quality service in return.

[@fatenA369]

You’re the best!

[@nicolecole5568]

Soooo this is how my orders have been ALL DAY in the DFW Metroplex. There are high paying orders, but I guess as a Diamond Driver with over 1,0000 trips, I'm not ALLOWED TO GET THEM....

[@gdicp]

Got a $6.50 for 12 miles lol. Wish I could leave a comment on these when they pop up

[@michellebello6987]

I actually get those double orders low miles over $20 multiple times a day
