TIP BAITING On Uber Eats! (How To Protect Yourself)

True as it says $13.00 and something once you decide to take the trip. Pick up the order at the restaurant then start the trip and drop off the order as once complete the trip as following the note orders or photo the order to leave note on where you left the order. Then once complete the order the trip was a $6.00 or something trip as you don't keep the $13.00 order as once shown. Then expect a tip as if you get a tip from the customer? As it's deceiving low ball orders as probably no tips at all on the UberEats app. Tell you it is a cold gig economy business on low ball orders of upsets 😡 as it is not fair as they sure won't reimburse you on bridge toll for going to Richmond to Vallejo for a $16.00 as I been declining trips and some I do take but I try not to to cross the bridge going to Vallejo. As I live in the Bay Area doing UberEats.

Hey bro I got a question for you. I’m in Seattle and how is it getting unemployment benefits where you’re at if your receiving it? It’s a lot of barriers they put in place in Seattle for you to get it and I know gig work is one of them. So I wanted to know how it works where your at before the new stimulus package goes through Congress. Thanks and keep up the great work. Your tips have helped me make an extra $25 a night.

[@asapatheist]

customer perspective: I absolutely hate tipping before hand. up until I had too, I used postmates because they didn't share the tip amount and allowed me to tip for good service after. There is a rating system for a reason, and drivers should be allowed to rate poorly for a bad tip. showing you potential earnings defeats that system. It sucks to learn that when postmates switched to ubereats software, this is the reason I've had a hard time getting a driver. Unfortunately until uber eats changes this... I will be projecting 25% moving forward and subtracting from that tip, instead of tipping 15% and upping the tip when things go right. Don't blame the customer... blame your boss' software.

[@timhorton6156]

As a customer, it's partially Uber's fault. When I place the order, I enter my tip on the final screen before submitting. Let's say it's $5. Then AFTER the delivery, I always get a screen asking "Add a 18% tip for Bob?" --- this makes it seem like they're asking if I want to add to my initial tip -- and that answer is no -- so I have to unselect the 18% tip they pre-select (ex. $8) and put it to $0 -- not realizing the few times I've done this, that it changes the total tip to $0. It's a very dumb misleading screen which Uber would probably argue they're trying to get more tips for their drivers, but it's making it worse.

And to steal tips. I asked a couple customers once what they had actually added for tips in the app and it was not what the app said. The f'ed up the system once they started adding tips to fares.

[@insethurdle88]

I dont agree with this yes it's to make it more promising to the customer but it's also to give perspective on what you should make as a driver. Let's be honest if you look at the fairs as a customer and it's to high you won't use uber eats as much putting a lower demand vs supply of total deliveries, however if the customer sees it as a tip they have the perception its going directly to the driver which means they will put more money into tips vs for a fair even though uber makes very little off the trip fares anyway and most goes to the driver consumers don't know this though (look at your higher fare trips I bet you there's no tip at all I get $7 deliveries go back and look and it was only in fares so no tip). Also if they didn't put the tip in the fare drivers wouldn't take it seeing a $5 delivery and not knowing if you'll get a tip or not or how much.

They think we're stupid. That's the smartest idea they came up with to hide base fares.

Happened to me tonight: the customer tip baits to secure their delivery during times when drivers are absent or time to delivery is very high. Then after they receive the food, they reduce the tip substantially. I was quoted $9.63 for a McDonald’s order 4 miles away, and they reduced the tip by $3 to $6.93. A very scum bag maneuver.

Tip baiting is definitely a problem. This is unacceptable and Ubereats should not allow customers the option to do this. If anything, a customer should only be allowed to edit their tip if they’re trying to add more money to the tip. The fact that Uber allows customers to remove their tip completely is very distasteful behavior from the company. Hopefully they will address this problem soon and fix the tipping option to show their support for their drivers.

I didn't go to customer support, I reported a problem with the delivery and told them that it was tip baiting and asked them to note it on their account.

Had a smaller version of that this weekend, $10+ order was $20+ after delivery because of a $20 tip on DD. DD does that, if it's an exceptionally high tip they'll only show a portion of it. Nice job!

[@jjminor]

@@PS-js9xw $8 is the max the app will show you for a tip prior to the delivery. They may have changed it afterwards but it is more likely that they tipped you the $36 beforehand and Uber only showed you the $8. (Unless your service was phenomenal :) ). I use this knowledge to try to determine whether a certain delivery will have a large tip or not. For example if the trip is short I figure Uber will pay $2.50, but if the expected pay is $10.50 then I know there is a good chance the tip will be some amount over $8 even though the customer could also have tipped exactly $8. Another reason for the amount going up could also be extended waits at the restaurant.

[@pitstarproductions7792]

Important to note that they have an hour FROM THE MOMENT you swipe the “Delivery Complete” tab (if it’s a Hand to Customer order) or click “Delivered” after taking the photo for the Contactless Delivery orders. I have been timing it and it’s been on like clockwork. I would say from personal experience, I’ve only been tip baited 3 times since I started delivering out in Boise, and I keep a mental note of those customers. I deliver to many of the same people, and I remember the crossroads and restaurant ordered. Is it always accurate? No. This is much easier to do on DoorDash (which there is no risk of tip baiting, but I’ll keep track of the pin in cases of unruly/rude customers - lots you can do). However, I haven’t delivered to any of those 3 offenders after the fact and the other 99.9% of customers have been awesome. I find more often that I receive more than what was originally quoted - not sure if this is due to the “Trip Supplement” (you see this a lot with the “Order and Pay” orders when you sit at the restaurant for 20-30+ mins), but I’m sure there have been a lot that just want to show their appreciation. Just my two cents. Happy driving, all!

I couldn't believe it so I decided to check earnings the next day, maybe they'd correct it. But still it stayed the same. If you don't get tips, it's a good guess Uber is skimming your tips. The guy tipped me because he had a friend in my car that was drunk and disturbing me, asking for water, then I had to stop the car because she had vertigo and needed to vomit, she took my gallon of water and I had to get out the car to get my cleaning container to hand it to her just in case she vomited in my car.

Just happened to me today and I am 100% sure it was tip baiting, same person did it to me twice that I remember in less than a month. I remember like 3 or 4 weeks ago getting mad like what did I do wrong...so she took the tip back. On top of that she lives in 1 of the worst apartments to do delivery in my area (probably the reason I remember her). Next time I see that name and that address I'm instantly canceling the order!

[@tripfisk4246]

Tip baited a couple days ago. Never knew this was a thing. Lugged 10 gallons of bottled water to a customer's door while wearing a friendly smile despite the heavy load and how much it sucked to deliver it all. Estimated tip: $7. Adjusted tip: $0

I have gotten tip baited several times, but usually, they are mellowed out by customers who increase their tip afterward.

[@truthhurts5379]

To be honest I never thought of it! I think that I have been tip baited many times without me nothing it!😱😳 it’s really hard and tedious to have track of all the orders since I do both Uber eats and DD (not multitasking at the same time). I think the solution is in the companies. Customers should be able to increase the tip only not removing it or lowering it.

@@BM-wc6bt just a heads up the way the Uber offers work they only show you up to an $8 maximum tip, generally if it tells you they tipped more after they actually didn't, it's just that Uber hid the full tip from you originally and then lied to you about it.

Yeah right. You shouldn't be delivering people's food and then when you find out about the hidden cameras you'll be giving them hundreds of dollars of tips in Court and jail for their tires, pls no more Uber job. There's actually legitimate reasons for changing somebody's tip. Tips are supposed to be for good service and good attitude that's how it is around the world. So if you have bad service, you take forever, drive around all over the place , sit parked in your car for a half an hour or take some of the food and have a bad attitude, those are reasons why somebody should change a remove their tip . Why should you reward somebody for doing a crappy job?

Uber is completely aware of this issue as a matter of fact they were the ones that told me it was a thing when I a 19 dollar order reduced to 12.

[@DS-gu9dx]

I have had a 2 times where im pretty sure i was tip baited ( These happened during a late night situation.) Both were on Ubereats too. One of them i was supposed to get about 12 dollars and the customer took the full tip away. a week later still nothing I was pissed... but i moved on too. Another was a 9 dollar order and they took all but a dollar back on the tip. On these deliveries all i did was go from point a to point b I do my standard practice as i arrive at the restaurant i message the customer asking if they would like me to ask for any sauces place there food in my nice hot bags (I often get compliments on my hot bags) and drop them off with the customer. I think from now on though i will at least report these situations as well in hopes to at least help educate these people of the situation they put drivers in.

The customers aren't cheap as hell if they are paying $15 for a stupid meal that cost $1.50 in ingredients. Uber and Door are cheap as hell for not paying you a fair rate. They take a LARGE percentage of the meal payment plus they charge the customer for delivery already. Your complaint is misplaced being pissed at the customer.

Uber should show the amount pay for delivery like Doordash and the tip amount be higher and not lower!

This is unacceptable, and unfair to the hard working drivers.

[@luxuryqueen42]

If you get tip baited, immediately call support. Ask if the customer can get blacklisted from your route so you don’t have to deliver to them again. Also ask if they can put notes on that customers account so if another driver complains about getting tip baited, that customer already has a record of doing it which subjects to them getting banned from the system.

I’m annoyed because that was the reason I didn’t want to go to that town. Some people DONT TIP. Very upset

[@jaeshotz]

I think on Uber Eats is tip baiting themselves not the customer. I think they way the "expect included tip" works its a percentage based on the amount the customer spent on their order. Uber does it to lure us in to accepting these orders, so they can decrease wait times. The reason why we don't always get the tip is because the customer never actually applied the tip to being with, that's just something Uber just led us to believe. After their delivery they get then asked if they would like to give a tip and there are a few options, 10%, 15%, and 20%. With 10% being the "expected tip". At least that's my opinion I could be wrong.

[@snoopcow]

I drive for Uber Eats, Doordash and Grubhub all at the same time every time I go out. UE is my #1 and this is just what happens. You complete a delivery and it only shows you the Uber payout until at least an hour later when they finally show you the customer tip if they didn't change it. A lot of times the total payout will end up being more than what was initially shown.

I agree with you! Now it is a big problem!! I have already made many orders when the customer significantly reduced the tip or even removed it, and there was no reason for that, I made the delivery quickly and accurately. I think customers do this on purpose so that their order is delivered quickly, knowing that they can then reduce the tip. This is a very bad feature in Uber eats! I really do not like it! If you don't like the food in a restaurant, you tip the waiter anyway. This principle must be done and in the delivery. I think Uber can't let the customer reduce the tip for no reason.

[@animerabbitden884]

well in a restaurant the waiter don't see there tip before doing there job you still get the same treatment but in uber eat they get to see the tip so now it up to them wanting to go that mile. tip is for good work not because i tip you high your gonna bring me my food first.

Uber takes the money. It's called taking from worker tips once in the blue to stay rich. I knew a customer I delivered to and the tip was 10 dollars and for some strange reason, the tip was removed ❌... The customer told me I never change anything so therefore it was Uber eats.

How do I set my app to show the map in the background. Every time I get an order it blurs the background that I don’t see where the map is directing until I accept the order?

[@donitmyself8935]

I start the Tip at 0 ( I WILL NOT comment to a tip for service before service has been served) when the driver accepts and delivers the order I add a tip after the service( through the app or cash). If your not taking my order because there is no tip on the app, your missing out on cash tips or after service tips BUT that's your choice. I know some people use this as some reason to not tip later and it may effect my order BUT I'm paying for my order to be delivered. If it's not delivered I'm not paying for it. The service on the other hand, I do not know what I'm getting or what your idea of decent tipping is so as long as my delivery guy goes to point A and delivers it to Point B in a relative decent about of time and he doesn't throw the food at me then I will happily pay him a bit extra for his service. Although, In my opinion this tipping culture is getting WAY out of hand. Nobody should be asking for tips at all, before service or after. As a matter of fact ALL employers should be charging there customers enough to cover there employees wages tips should NOT be a part of anybody's wages. Tips should be looked at as in insult like "what you think I don't make enough money you think I need a hand out" But that is not the culture in the US so what can you do.

I have had reduced tips come through for no known reason. Usually someone else that night tips pretty big so it balances out.

I don't know if they are informed on their end that their order is a stacked order so I just let them know. Most customers are appreciative and I have gotten bigger tips this way. Even when one tips lower than expected, the other one will tip higher so it balances out and I end up making more than the expected pay for that trip.

My tips (in Uber Eats) never come in sooner than an hour after delivery. I originally thought that they would come in as soon as the customer confirmed it in the app but after consistently receiving the tips exactly 60 minutes after the delivery I have come to the conclusion that you DO NOT get your tip until 60 minutes after delivery. You're not being tip baited when you drop the food off, get back in the car and don’t see your tip. You're only being tip baited when over an hour has elapsed and your still haven't received your tip.

[@republican4u2nv78]

Agreed! I remember when I first started using Uber Eats and I worked my butt off delivery after delivery for about 6 hours and was like wtf I've only made $40??? Then I'd go home, go to bed, wake up and see I had another like $100 in earnings. With DoorDash, it typically gets automatically updated to your running total after delivery is complete. The only time it doesn't automatically update my total is for the people that tip after delivery. I had a $6.55 tip added after delivery 2 weeks ago from yesterday to a customer that ordered 2 chicken sandwiches from McDonald's and only lived 1.6 miles away from the restaurant. It immediately alerted me when he tipped me the $6.55 after I delivered it, but it didn't show up in my earnings until 2 days ago. I personally prefer Doordash for this reason. With Uber Eats, I feel I have to pretty much trust that they are honest with my earning since I can't/don't really keep track.

tonight had a order show up for $14 and some change. delivered it no problems customer thanked me said have a good night and 20 minutes after i called support cuz all i was payed was $3 well the customer removed the tip entirely and was told just call pay in the morning around 8am eastern. and sorry but this is bs made me seriously wanna go back and beat on their door and ask why they would do that. i literally lost money in gas / maintenance and my time. it cost me more to do that than its worth.

I was tip baited for going 10miles and lost my gas and time I only went from a to B it was late night and probably no driver was accepting his low pay order

[@NotBadCouldBeBetter]

Do customers not realize that the driver they just tip baited know where they live?

I don’t see that oftenon uber eats maybe a few cents less but really not much. Doordash customers are more likely to give you more after the trip depends on the area and the restaurant
