At 15:33 Aleksa runs right past the restaurant where he needs to pick up the food (compare interior decor at 15:53). And the map shown at 15:26 shows that the route given by the app takes him past the restaurant and round to a back entrance (where he struggles to work out how to actually enter the place). So basically, the app is adding a few minutes of unnecessary travel in order to avoid having the delivery worker walk in the front door.

[@jrockoclock7088]

That's fucking crazy and a really interesting observation. It's also odd to me that they're even able to do that because uber's 'pick up' locator for their cab service always seems to want to place it a block away and no matter what you do it locks to some location on the opposite side of the street. No hate for the drivers but the UX on uber apps suck ass, so it's strange that they're even able to specify what door to use - though clearly that's possible or happens in an incidental fashion.

[@DedicatedCaffeineUser]

I used to deliver for UberEats for a time until I realized that I’d make more money working a minimum wage job and that it’d be more consistent too. You hit the nail on the head with the issues you brought up there. Just a few more things I’d like to add to that: 1. Uber wants its drivers to act like both employees and independent contractors. Which is to say, they want to put all the burdens of both arrangements on their drivers and extract all of the benefits of both arrangements for them. 2. Uber drivers are reliant on tips to make ends meet due to ludicrously low base pay for offers. 3. There is no correlation between drivers accepting every offer and them making more money. In other words, Uber’s current system necessitates cherry picking offers in order to not pay out-of-pocket to deliver someone their food. 4. Due to a significant lack of pay, many Uber drivers reject offers that lack tips in order to be available for offers they won’t lose money on. This means that customers are (almost always) forced to tip before receiving their food. 5. Uber allows customers to change their tip up to an hour after receiving their food. Consequently, tip-baiting has become a real problem. This when customers intentionally reduce or fully take away a tip without receiving poor service to justify doing so. 6. Uber hides a portion of a tip above a certain threshold so for all a driver knows, Uber could outright be stealing a portion of their tips. 7. This means that drivers never know if their advertised payout will match their actual income. It *could* be more, but it is more than often less. 8. Customers’ only recourse for poor service is to punish the driver when it is more than possible that the fault lies with the restaurant. For example, drivers don’t have the ability to personally check your order, so an item missing in your sealed bag would be the fault of the restaurant. 9. Restaurants (especially fast food restaurants) don’t often care about the drivers they rely on to deliver their food to their customers. They will intentionally send their delivery drivers through the drive-thru with all their other customers, outright ignore the delivery driver for 10 whole minutes when the food is ready, or just not even make the food until after the delivery driver arrives. 10. Technical support is god awful for drivers. Very rarely can they solve issues in a timely manner (which is vital for drivers because technical issues take up valuable time that drivers need to actually make money for the day). And when Uber is clearly to blame for a technical issue causing their drivers to lose money, they only compensate them the base pay for a delivery (which is $2 btw). 11. In summary, Uber is just about the worst employer I have ever worked for. I encourage anyone considering working for them to look for a minimum wage job instead and I encourage anyone that still wishes to place an order on UberEats (or other food delivery apps) to tip your driver well, until these shady companies are required by law to pay their drivers a fair wage.

[@ReeceCoza]

Unsure if you're American or Australian but in most occupied cities of Sydney there are trip bonuses which make it worth it, I made $1050 or so after 25 hours of work, only real struggle is driving a poor fuel economic vehicle, being dumb with tax and if you have no quest bonuses then yeah, base pay sucks

@@ReeceCoza i think a ton of people in this comment section live in less opportune areas, and America just being a shit place in general.

[@Kindhamster]

The trick to making money in a gig economy like this is, paradoxically, only doing it part time. If you only spend a few hours a day around lunch and dinner time doing food deliveries, and a few hours a week bringing people to and from bars and stuff, it's quite lucrative. The problem is that even though the hourly rate is decent, the number of hours is too low for you to sustain yourself without a second/real job.

I would just walk around after work and smoke a few joints while doing 2 or 3 deliveries a night. i got paid probably 2-3 bucks per order and it was all close enough I never had to run or anything. it was super casual and just something to do for the most part and then I would get all my tips the next morning. it was a good way to make beer money lol

TO BE FAIR, my favorite place to get food is about a block and a half from my apartment. I usually do walk there, but if I’m sick I’ll have it delivered (no contact delivery). There’s still an occasional need for delivery even when it’s walking distance. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Coles_notes]

Ive ordered from places almost next door to me because of the crazy deals UberEats sometimes puts on, and at least whenever Ive tried a lot of the promotions dont allow pickup, theyre delivery only.

[@RockinFootball_23]

i know many restaurants hike their prices up on food delivery apps as the companies take commission. The restaurants find that they are not earning as much per order. If you want to support a restaurant, it's best to just go pick it up yourself. Saves you money and also give more profit for the restauraunt.

[@iris4547]

yeah theres been a few times ive made use of ubereats deals to get deliveries from places within walking distance. had a 50% off grocery deal so even with the ubereats markup the discount was enough to make it the cheapest option even with delivery fee. sometimes even works out well for pickup orders where the discount offsets the markup.

[@Gunbudder]

This actually happens on a smaller scale at Arizona State University. things may have changed since around 2008, but back then NO cars for delivery were allowed on campus, and campus is MASSIVE. Its multiple city blocks, bigger than most housing developments. So if you are anywhere on campus and deliver a pizza, the driver has to drive to the nearest parking lot (far away) get out, then just walk to you. which may be about a mile of walking each way or more depending on how close they could actually get. If they biked the whole way, they could bike onto campus, but they drive for every other order so they never have bikes. Some delivery places refused to deliver on campus because none of the drivers wanted to get out and walk. they usually got no tips too because no one had any money back then. gas was insanely expensive too for Arizona at the time and a lot of delivery places don't pay for gas (or any car expenses). For the most part, it was students that would do on foot "deliveries" though. I would often see one person from a party or group just walk to hungry howies or somewhere else, buy a pick up order, then walk back. The total on foot trip was always over 2 or 3 miles.

The issue with it refusing to acknowledge your orders being delivered/app breaking is insanely bad. When I doordashed for a summer there were multiple incidents where an idiot put the wrong address in, so I had to go deliver them their food miles away, but it wouldn’t let me finish the delivery until I drove to the original listed address. There were other incidents where I’d arrive to pick up an order, only to find out it was placed an hour ago and sent out, so I’d have to spend 20+ minutes waiting on the phone for support to cancel my order, going through three levels of Indian call centers before finally getting to their American supervisor who actually spoke English. Oh, and I ended up actually losing money including gas, and the fact that on my last day a crazy polish woman ruined my rear bumper in a hit and run crash, for whcih I was never compensated despite giving the cops her license plate. There’s also the countless times they sent me into gang-ran blocks 5 miles away from the restaurant.

It feels similar to when people look at products made for disabled people and make fun of it for being useless and for lazy people. There are a lot of weeks I wouldn’t have eaten at all if it hadn’t been for delivery because of my depression. I know yall probably didn’t mean anything by it, but ever since I watched this video a year ago, I’ve felt very guilty and self-conscious every time I need to use a delivery app. Again, that may be silly and some of the onus is on me for taking a lighthearted comment to heart, but still. I love y’all’s content and have been so excited to see yall start streaming.
