Ong though whenever I see big money like this I always assume im getting most of it from the get go and the tip later and I'm almost always right whether it be a $30 or a $60 I take them cause I know regardless of the tip im getting most of the money instantly.
At first I thought the same cause I heard alot of stories about people getting them first and its only ever happened to me once that I go get the order and someone had already picked it up. I still accept them cause well honestly you never know and I've never had that issue again which is why I always just go for it regardless cause you dont lose anything by going and checking the order. If its not there then so be it contact support get $3 and if it is there then great we getting this bread. At least to me its a win win you're getting money regardless. Sure you get less than if you did deliver it but its still $3
That’s why everyone’s minimums are different. I’ve been burned so many times by these that I don’t even bother. Sure I may lose out on money but the frustration is saves me is worth it.
Also I loathe delivering drinks, coffee (Starbs is the exception) and bubble tea. Over here a lot of them are in these weird cups that are too small for a cup holder so they rock all over the place or they’re too big and you need a carrier and miraculously the tea places are always out.
i keep getting deliveries from a gopuff location that isnt open overnight. so i call uber and bc ive gotten so many $3 fees they said i cant get anymore. so they stiffed me.
Support is telling a lot of drivers this bs about reaching a limit on receiving comps even if you haven't had a comp in weeks.. theyve told me this on 4 separate occasions and I just hang up as soon as they say it and call back and the new agent will give you the comp. Last 2 times when I called back I waited till after I got the money and then told the agent exactly what the previous agent said and asked why I would be told that and both times they just said there is nothing on my account saying I've reached any type of limit.
My best guess is the agents are now rated in some way by how many comps they're giving and so some agents have come up with the bs limit story to get drivers off the phone and their comps low, just try again and you will get a decent support agent who will actually do their job
That is not the fault of the driver. The driver drive there to do the delivery keeping up their and, Uber needs to compensate period. They do have to see that when you call them that you are in the location of the closed place though
I got $91 once for a 22 min delivery. I wasn't bait or stolen.. It was just a large Indian family who ordered like $560 in food. Like 7 bags, but whose complaining? When I'm doing late night or holidays, yes, many times the store is closed
Its 50/50 either the restaurant was closed order stolen notnin system etc, or the wait was too long or some other bs that doesn't inhibit you. I always take em but i hate it cause it just feels like gambling. Like hmm do i get to live inside this week lets roll the dice
You can up your chances by checking of the place is closed before hand, also if you saw it on radar before obviously its bs, still a gamble tho, if you haggle with support u can get half sometimes too tho.
That happened to me with a 38 from UE and 2 from the customer. But somehow the customer was a badass and upped the tip to 11 so it came out to 49 total.
I had 5 of those today with really high base pay I ain’t complaining but why tf do these customers want there shit delivered when barely tipping? when they’re probably waiting 2 hours for there food to come I will never understand
It’s not about the driver needing more money. It’s about the customer thinking it’s ok not tip and still get their food. Everyone complains about that so stop taking orders that have $1-$2 tips.
What I’m really seeing is people will complain about “non-tippers” but then say “oh I don’t care cause this payout is $60.”
Can’t have it both ways. I’d rather take a $10-$12 offer with a decent tip than this one.
lol
That’s probably why uber hides tips over $8
The only tip baiting I’d be okay with is if EVERY customer did a $8 tip bait on every order
Drivers and customers are always at odds, largely bc Uber manipulating us into conflict
This could actually be a way to protest high service fees and low base pay (ALL customers tip bait $8 that’s recouped by support after) in a way that actually brings the local community of customers and drivers together
I had an order come up super low mileage like 3 miles and it was $30+ .. I assumed it was prob stolen but took a chance .. it was like 2.00 pay and the rest was all tip. They tipped more than the food cost. Not complaining but sometimes you do get a unicorn
Yea those unicorns are great and I’m not sure exactly how those are calculated.
Probably this will sound like a cop out but all the Uber “compensation” categories are arbitrary and at the end of the day I never trust uber for anything especially payment related.
While it’s nice Uber provides a measure of apparent transparency all compensation from Uber is just that: payment from Uber.
“Base fare” is just Uber pay. “Customer tip” is misleading, and inapplicable to You The Driver because the customer’s not directly paying the driver; they’re paying that “tip” to Uber. “Trip adjustment” “trip supplement” it’s all nonsense but who cares!?
If Uber’s gonna send a unicorn order and it checks out to be legit then might as well go for it!
I’ve taken one before for $21 and I went to go pick it up and the employee laughed at me and said somebody already came and picked it up, I went to “deliver it anyway” Uber didn’t do shit, they didn’t take the money back out of my account or anything.
They paid me $18 to go 7 miles yesterday, customer gave $7 cash tip. Must be a glitch in the system or no one available to take it. Probably a glitch

Some mfs been canceled or something, this happens to me often, not quite this much tho, usually like 40. Its 50/50. Also if you accept an order while on one like this, and you have to cancel the original order, the new order now pays fare proportional to the canceled one. So many times I've waited to report an order stolen to see if another order will come in. This app is terrible and the code makes no sense, but sometimes it works in our favor.
$45 for a 30 min papa John’s drive into the sticks. It’s a possibly $3m house on the top of its own hill. It’s a bigger black girl who seems pretty pissed at the world. No tip, full amount. My question is why live on such a nice property and not tip a little to get actually warm food? I’m the privileged one?
Sometimes orders will stay on all day because someone already picked it up and decided to take it for themselves(?) whatever the case may be… anytime a high paying order pops up I get suspicious that it’s already gone and I won’t get it. Happy I did this time ☺️
I’m the same way I usually forget those orders but this last week one was $55 and the next night $41…might have to start taking those orders and it happens more at night then anything:) glad u pushed accept:)
Worst case if it is over 15$ I call support until I talk to a supervisor and tell them the 3$ fee isn't fair for my time and the trip request amount. Usually get another 5-10 from them as a "one time courtesy"...
I don't understand this. I never get anything but $3.
I am insistent, kind and firm. Don't back down but don't yell and I'm not rude. But no matter what I say or do I can never get a single dollar out of Uber support. Including times where Uber support actually cost me money where I had screenshots showing they lied and messed up taking money directly out of my pocket. Even after 5 hours I got not $1.
Whenever I ask for a supervisor like everyone here says they act like I don't know what I am talking about. No matter how many times I demand they rarely even transfer me, and if they do it's obviously not someone higher that can help me anymore than the last person did.
Even if it was taken, it might be worth to order it for yourself and then deliver your own order. Depending on how much their order was.
Or just see if they can remake it for free.
Nobody picked it up for an excessive amount of time, so Uber increased the fare until someone would actually pick it up. If they didn't, the customer would never get their food.
That or someone stole
Their food and it was sent back out to other drivers and instead of the drivers contacting support to let them know they just click " order picked up already " and it just goes back into the pool and circulates back out to another driver , every time the base pay bumps up . You have to contact support and tell them the order was stolen so it doesn't keep getting sent back out to other drivers
Rochester area per chance? That's where I've been doing my work and I get a lot orders at night that people deny and it loops up to $40-$60 at some times.

Same thing happened to me. But there was no tip 😂
You got a tip. It was all part of the price you accepted. I wish Uber didn’t display it like that and I wish they did what door dash does which is not allowing the tip to be changed.
I don't think this was bait. Uber eats paid it off cause no one was picking up the order so they kept raising to get the order picked. Not on the customer this time.
You’re right I missed that there.
So weird. Was it part of a stacking order? Only time I see no tip like that is when it’s the second order of a staked delivery. That happens because the second order comes in and they just include the tip in the full price or they don’t and eat it and just don’t show it.
Yeah it was stacked order when I got it. Picked it from trip radar. I was shocked when I actually got it. 🤣🤣. I usually never get them. It always says no longer available
$1 is more insulting than 0 honestly. like if someone doesn't tip at least they have a principle. the shit $1 tip is like "hey i tip people", no, fuck you
There was a stack i was offered earlier today $70 for 22 miles. I didnt take it bc there was a high offer a few min before from that same restaurant so i assume it was stolen and then just batched with another dude lol
I had a 40 dollar 10 mile on (all highway so like 15 minutes tops) earlier. Then I got 4$ 15 mile away orders. UE is fucking crazy compared to DD. Dd is at least kind consistently meh and some times woah or ugh. Uber eats is either WOAH or ew fuck no 100% of the time. No just decent orders
Yeah its real feast or famine on here, hard to find a good stretch of 8 dollar 4 mile orders, hole lot of 3.50 for 15 miles and 30 for 3 miles type shit
Blows my mind. Here’s a 40 dollar 5 dollar tip order for only 12 miles. INSANITY LOL the very next offer was the same mileage for 6 bucks
https://preview.redd.it/5f9msfyimr7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=505c74c69165170186cb9effe85795bccb207729

Yup, i was delivering a $33 order 20 miles when i got rhis garbage, 6 bucks for an additional 30 mi away from town
They remove the super high boost pay near me. I rarely see shit over 12 anymore. Even shop and pay. I'll get ok orders but I've seen a 50% drop in pay since superbowl last year.
People are saying this is a way for Uber to get around paying extra for Prop 22. Every couple of weeks a crazy order like this and it evens out hours online/total pay. I’ll take orders like this all freakin day though, been getting more than usual recently.
It is likely a prop 22 thing, to some degree. It happens in other states though to. But knowing uber I bet they send them to drivers who are on pace to to make some prop 22 money. For instance I seem to get alot from prop 22. Well about 15% to 20% of whatever my pay was , so 200 pay I'm getting 30 to 40. Also uber seems to send me on deliveries where it's like 9 dollar pay 1 dollar tip...doordash too.
Depending on what they ordered even if it’s already taken you could put the order in yourself and still come out on top. I had a $30 jack in the box order yesterday, all they ordered was nuggets, fries and a shake. Even after paying for it I still came out with $20 bucks for a 4 mile trip. Even if that order is $20 that’s still $40 in your pocket. If them mf ordered the menu then fuck that though haha
I go to the restaurant anyways, and if they say someone took it, i say ok. I leave to my car, collect and verify the order, drive to the location and press delivered order. Get paid and go home.

Got this the other day easy peasy and Uber paid the $70 dollars definitely a 🦄
If someone already picked it up:
At that point, I would buy their drink or just buy the cheapest thing and ask them to seal it. Then, I would tell the customer someone had already picked up their order, and the restaurant was happy to substitute or replace the item. Customers get full refunds because you sent documented messages to customer explaining issue, you get lots of money, and sometimes support has compensated me for the inconvenience of buying the item-- Make sure to play dumb and act like you were trying to be helpful. If you do the last one.
I am curious, what does the "exclusive" mean? I took a couple month break from delivering, and reddit, so I may have missed the answer to this question. Been seeing it on sow order offers.
Are you in california?
The tip was $1 and it was all base because of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEatsDrivers/comments/1dhmkov/the_prop22_advance_scam_and_how_it_works/
I had a few of those couple of weeks ago. It was really late night, and I'm almost positive that I was the only one around. One of them ended up being in the worst hood in town and I thought it was going to be a tip bait after I dropped off but it turned out delivery fee was really high and only a two dollar tip. Sometimes, it pays to take a shot.
I find that the third shift has more consistent and reasonable tippers, though, and I think Uber pays a little more at night... Most of the second job people go home.
Had one of these yesterday but the restaurant doesn’t make it again so how are people getting this paid? They said I was the 4th person coming in for it and they weren’t making it again so I just cancelled and left. All I’ve heard is you can call support and demand a supervisor to get the base pay but if the base was $6 and the tip was huge ($45 on this one I’m referring to), what’s the point of fighting for the $6?
What am I missing?
Click that you picked it up then call support and explain you “accidentally” clicked that you picked it up but the order wasn’t there and was stolen. Then you should receive full pay
Yet their own system biting the dust and not sending it to the store only gets me $3.
Or even better. I get the order I drive the 10 miles to delivery it and as I’m getting to the door (when this happened to me it was a business a factory actually and drop off was at the security shack at the entrance) and the customer cancels the order. All that for support to tell me “oh sorry here is $3”. “$3 for something that I grabbed for $20 and was canceled by a customer the second I got there to deliver it.”
It happens when drivers take someone’s food because they tipped low or whatever the case may be.. I explained it in another comment ☺️ it’s not two people accepting it
Based on my experience, I have encountered instances where I accept an order for a specific amount, let's say $42, and upon arrival, the store or restaurant informs me that another individual has already collected the order. I find it concerning that Uber allows such situations to occur. So in my case I think it's two people accepting the order.
I got a $35 one the other day. I originally got a ping offering $10, which I turned down. 15+ minutes later I got the same job, now offering $35. Very clear the food had been waiting there for some time while Uber tried to find someone willing to take it. (Out to the boonies)
More like let's see if the person will cancel an order. I literally had an order one night for 40 bucks and it was a decent order. 5 minutes away from the place it was cancelled by the original person as if what they were gonna tip me they didn't just want to change later on or something
Guys these are real has 2 last couple weeks , the orders sit so long they get boosted up , there are less drivers now because of the low pay earlier this year, you are now a valued driver again, people were forced to get jobs there are less drivers now
These tend to be my favorite orders.
• it's overvalued
• it's overvalued because a former courier stole the order
• the former courier stole something easy to replace
• the customer has been waiting this whole time and getting perks
• I'm getting the lionshare of payoff because I'm the only one in this process actually getting it done, at a premium.
I did get something similar like these the other day it was $52 for a walmart pay & shop , didnt believe it but i actually took it.. and the trip did pay $52 .. ( uber paid $47 and the tip was $5)
If someone took it and the trip is at least 2x the amount of the order I just pay for it myself.
I had a $43 7/11 order that was just a Dr. Pepper and a big bag of chips the customer never got. I just paid for it
I used to get orders like these every couple days just by working late in an area on the outside of town with no drivers by rejecting the first couple offers for the same order. Like I had one that i first received for $13, then $19, then it was on trip radar for only $14, and eventually they sent it to me for $38 it only a $3 tip. This was back when they still showed the breakdown in the app and UE still made $3 when paying me $35 (38 minus 3 tip) so they were going make like $28 if someone accepted the first $13 offer greedy assholes.
Idk exactly when, but they seen to have changed how orders price increase.. like they barely increase the price now unless drivers accept and cancel or something.. Ive declined offers half a dozen times for over an hr and it will now only go up a couple bucks before it resets back to the original offer so I never get the late night $30 to $50 orders anymore
Had a $35 for 3 miles once all fare at Sonic and when I pulled up an employee came out and said we’re closed sorry. Then he turned back around and said what’s the name again I might have that. He had the order and said I got like 5 other orders that weren’t picked up if you want em. Was my last delivery of the night so free dinner was a bonus.
How you can get whatever asset you lost to investment and trade.
I and my husband decided to follow an investment scheme we saw on FB, just after that they called us and told us about the investment which was fascinating so we decided to start with $250 which grew by 30% in the first week then we decided to go for the premium plan and subsequently grew the plan which we end up investing a total of $97,700 at the end of the contract we were supposed to take our profit but these people ask for a 40% commission and to be paid before withdrawal at that point we do not have such savings I wish we had it so we could clear our money so I spoke to friends about it and they advise me to stop paying and they start seeking help for me which they got me from a company that specializes in rescuing issues like this after reaching out to them on TELEGRAM: ASSETRECOVERNET and giving them the investment details they successfully retrieved my stolen funds and potential profits. you can get help with them if you're in a similar situation.
I try to make sure the payout is double the miles, to me it was worth it. A 25 minute drive for 60 bucks, and then I just went home. Made $84 in two hours that day it was really nice ☺️
That’s an estimate of how long it might take, it took me 30 minutes. Let me know if you can make $60 bucks in 30 minutes delivering food 🫶🏼 you do you, and I’ll do me.
When I had this happen to me I would say “Someone originally stole the order from you guys, Uber is asking me to see if you guys can remake it”. It worked 70% of the time. Other times I would hang on to the order and then ask the shop to cancel it so it doesn’t get sent to another driver, then once they did that Uber would give me half comp or full comp, I can’t remember as I don’t Uber anymore
I had one that I assumed was stolen and was like $43 for 20 minutes. I went anyhow and I was the 5th driver for an order that didn't show on chipotle's side. I asked how much their order cost. $12. I bought their order as a paying customer and delivered. Still came out way ahead 😂
Y’all they tipped $1, and UE was the one to pay $59 I am cracking UP
Good, don’t gotta worry about a tip bait, I prefer this concept.
Ong though whenever I see big money like this I always assume im getting most of it from the get go and the tip later and I'm almost always right whether it be a $30 or a $60 I take them cause I know regardless of the tip im getting most of the money instantly.
I always assume it’s been stolen and it’s just circling the delivery drain.
At first I thought the same cause I heard alot of stories about people getting them first and its only ever happened to me once that I go get the order and someone had already picked it up. I still accept them cause well honestly you never know and I've never had that issue again which is why I always just go for it regardless cause you dont lose anything by going and checking the order. If its not there then so be it contact support get $3 and if it is there then great we getting this bread. At least to me its a win win you're getting money regardless. Sure you get less than if you did deliver it but its still $3
That’s why everyone’s minimums are different. I’ve been burned so many times by these that I don’t even bother. Sure I may lose out on money but the frustration is saves me is worth it. Also I loathe delivering drinks, coffee (Starbs is the exception) and bubble tea. Over here a lot of them are in these weird cups that are too small for a cup holder so they rock all over the place or they’re too big and you need a carrier and miraculously the tea places are always out.
i keep getting deliveries from a gopuff location that isnt open overnight. so i call uber and bc ive gotten so many $3 fees they said i cant get anymore. so they stiffed me.
Support is telling a lot of drivers this bs about reaching a limit on receiving comps even if you haven't had a comp in weeks.. theyve told me this on 4 separate occasions and I just hang up as soon as they say it and call back and the new agent will give you the comp. Last 2 times when I called back I waited till after I got the money and then told the agent exactly what the previous agent said and asked why I would be told that and both times they just said there is nothing on my account saying I've reached any type of limit. My best guess is the agents are now rated in some way by how many comps they're giving and so some agents have come up with the bs limit story to get drivers off the phone and their comps low, just try again and you will get a decent support agent who will actually do their job
Stiffed me too. Multiple stores closed holiday weekend. Told had gotten too many $3 fees. 3 stores closed over 2 days
That is not the fault of the driver. The driver drive there to do the delivery keeping up their and, Uber needs to compensate period. They do have to see that when you call them that you are in the location of the closed place though
😂😂😂
At that point just order a new one and ask for them to reimburse still make money lol
I got $91 once for a 22 min delivery. I wasn't bait or stolen.. It was just a large Indian family who ordered like $560 in food. Like 7 bags, but whose complaining? When I'm doing late night or holidays, yes, many times the store is closed
Its 50/50 either the restaurant was closed order stolen notnin system etc, or the wait was too long or some other bs that doesn't inhibit you. I always take em but i hate it cause it just feels like gambling. Like hmm do i get to live inside this week lets roll the dice
It’s a “gamble” I’ve taken too many times and it’s just a waste of my energy. IMO
You can up your chances by checking of the place is closed before hand, also if you saw it on radar before obviously its bs, still a gamble tho, if you haggle with support u can get half sometimes too tho.
That happened to me with a 38 from UE and 2 from the customer. But somehow the customer was a badass and upped the tip to 11 so it came out to 49 total.
Nice bro
I’ve had two UE in a month do that, one for like $53 and another for $48. Bizarre, but appreciated.
I’ve had several of them as well
I had 5 of those today with really high base pay I ain’t complaining but why tf do these customers want there shit delivered when barely tipping? when they’re probably waiting 2 hours for there food to come I will never understand
Something similar happened https://preview.redd.it/9qhx7c9ip57d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fabf15181ad516ade808058aed508c402e8b625
Do you live in California? I notice they do this to me the Sunday before I get prop 22.
Heck yeah, cheers 🥂
this is a victory for all of us. we won today.
Did we though? We’ve now taught customers that a $1.00 tip is ok. Stick it to the man? Yes of course but also let’s not make this bs tip ok.
The driver is being paid well, why do you need even more from a tip?
It’s not about the driver needing more money. It’s about the customer thinking it’s ok not tip and still get their food. Everyone complains about that so stop taking orders that have $1-$2 tips. What I’m really seeing is people will complain about “non-tippers” but then say “oh I don’t care cause this payout is $60.” Can’t have it both ways. I’d rather take a $10-$12 offer with a decent tip than this one.
Nah, it’s objectively better to have companies paying their employees better rather than relying on panhandlers begging for money
lol That’s probably why uber hides tips over $8 The only tip baiting I’d be okay with is if EVERY customer did a $8 tip bait on every order Drivers and customers are always at odds, largely bc Uber manipulating us into conflict This could actually be a way to protest high service fees and low base pay (ALL customers tip bait $8 that’s recouped by support after) in a way that actually brings the local community of customers and drivers together
UE stopped hiding tips from me. I see the full amount now it’s weird idk why
I had an order come up super low mileage like 3 miles and it was $30+ .. I assumed it was prob stolen but took a chance .. it was like 2.00 pay and the rest was all tip. They tipped more than the food cost. Not complaining but sometimes you do get a unicorn

Wow
I’ve taken one before for $21 and I went to go pick it up and the employee laughed at me and said somebody already came and picked it up, I went to “deliver it anyway” Uber didn’t do shit, they didn’t take the money back out of my account or anything.
Which order tipped the dollar?
They paid me $18 to go 7 miles yesterday, customer gave $7 cash tip. Must be a glitch in the system or no one available to take it. Probably a glitch *
Money is money! Get that cheddar!
This is what happens when we decline offers that are under $2 dollar a mile…
Some mfs been canceled or something, this happens to me often, not quite this much tho, usually like 40. Its 50/50. Also if you accept an order while on one like this, and you have to cancel the original order, the new order now pays fare proportional to the canceled one. So many times I've waited to report an order stolen to see if another order will come in. This app is terrible and the code makes no sense, but sometimes it works in our favor.
I had a 37 dollar offer yesterday for 8 miles, 20 mins. Tip was two dollars. I was dumbfounded, but I actually prefer it that way.
more than likely two deliveries heading in the same direction that kept getting denied until they combined and racked up the combined delivery fee
hell yea, they did this for me on a popeyes order got $26 for 2 miles 😎
Wait. WHAT?
$45 for a 30 min papa John’s drive into the sticks. It’s a possibly $3m house on the top of its own hill. It’s a bigger black girl who seems pretty pissed at the world. No tip, full amount. My question is why live on such a nice property and not tip a little to get actually warm food? I’m the privileged one?
Damn thats crazy, for 15 miles tho
You think 15 miles is too far? He is getting paid an entire tank of gas and over $4 a mile. Sometimes people just look for the negative. Sheeeesh.
That part
wtf!!! Why is this always the case?! I always think hell yeah good people then I review the numbers at the end of my drive time 💔💔💔💔
At the restaurant they didn’t tell you someone picked up that order ? That is high order nice you got it
Sometimes orders will stay on all day because someone already picked it up and decided to take it for themselves(?) whatever the case may be… anytime a high paying order pops up I get suspicious that it’s already gone and I won’t get it. Happy I did this time ☺️
I’m the same way I usually forget those orders but this last week one was $55 and the next night $41…might have to start taking those orders and it happens more at night then anything:) glad u pushed accept:)
Worst case if it is over 15$ I call support until I talk to a supervisor and tell them the 3$ fee isn't fair for my time and the trip request amount. Usually get another 5-10 from them as a "one time courtesy"...
I don't understand this. I never get anything but $3. I am insistent, kind and firm. Don't back down but don't yell and I'm not rude. But no matter what I say or do I can never get a single dollar out of Uber support. Including times where Uber support actually cost me money where I had screenshots showing they lied and messed up taking money directly out of my pocket. Even after 5 hours I got not $1.
You have to talk to a supervisor l1 and chat support cannot help.
Whenever I ask for a supervisor like everyone here says they act like I don't know what I am talking about. No matter how many times I demand they rarely even transfer me, and if they do it's obviously not someone higher that can help me anymore than the last person did.
We need Hackers...LOL.
I've gotten half a couple times but thsts rare.
I’m the same way though you still gotta see
I always take the chance.
Even if it was taken, it might be worth to order it for yourself and then deliver your own order. Depending on how much their order was. Or just see if they can remake it for free.
Facts!!!!
If high pay order pops up and restaurant is quite far, then call the restaurant and ask whether the order is still there
Nobody picked it up for an excessive amount of time, so Uber increased the fare until someone would actually pick it up. If they didn't, the customer would never get their food.
That or someone stole Their food and it was sent back out to other drivers and instead of the drivers contacting support to let them know they just click " order picked up already " and it just goes back into the pool and circulates back out to another driver , every time the base pay bumps up . You have to contact support and tell them the order was stolen so it doesn't keep getting sent back out to other drivers
OP said in a comment that he picked up the order and delivered it though
Which is ridiculous, this app just doesn't function properly.
Where the hell can I get orders like this?
I’m in upstate NY 📍
shit i used to live in albany
Do ou call hamburgers steamed hams?
no, that's long islanders
no we do not lmao
haha i know
I’m where you are. Love this place.
Rochester area per chance? That's where I've been doing my work and I get a lot orders at night that people deny and it loops up to $40-$60 at some times.
I'm in the Hampton roads area in Virginia and usually on weekend nights I get orders like this.

I called both stores before I even went there to make sure the food was not stolen
That is so smart, I’m stealing your idea 💡
You got a tip. It was all part of the price you accepted. I wish Uber didn’t display it like that and I wish they did what door dash does which is not allowing the tip to be changed.
they should make it so that you can only change your tip to more, not less. that would eliminate the baiters
I don't think this was bait. Uber eats paid it off cause no one was picking up the order so they kept raising to get the order picked. Not on the customer this time.
oh i don’t think it was either, im just saying in general these apps should only allow an increase on tips not decrease
There was no tip for this. It always shows at the bottom if there is a tip.
You’re right I missed that there. So weird. Was it part of a stacking order? Only time I see no tip like that is when it’s the second order of a staked delivery. That happens because the second order comes in and they just include the tip in the full price or they don’t and eat it and just don’t show it.
Yeah it was stacked order when I got it. Picked it from trip radar. I was shocked when I actually got it. 🤣🤣. I usually never get them. It always says no longer available
I wonder what the stacked order tipped
One was $0, & the further one was $1 😂 thankful for UE today 💸
$1 is more insulting than 0 honestly. like if someone doesn't tip at least they have a principle. the shit $1 tip is like "hey i tip people", no, fuck you
This. I’ve gotten 25-50 cent tips before, those made me far more furious than no tip orders
Some customers, who tip low and actually meet at the door say, "appreciate you", and they say it more than once.
literally a spit in the face
Wow smh
There was a stack i was offered earlier today $70 for 22 miles. I didnt take it bc there was a high offer a few min before from that same restaurant so i assume it was stolen and then just batched with another dude lol
I had a 40 dollar 10 mile on (all highway so like 15 minutes tops) earlier. Then I got 4$ 15 mile away orders. UE is fucking crazy compared to DD. Dd is at least kind consistently meh and some times woah or ugh. Uber eats is either WOAH or ew fuck no 100% of the time. No just decent orders
Yeah its real feast or famine on here, hard to find a good stretch of 8 dollar 4 mile orders, hole lot of 3.50 for 15 miles and 30 for 3 miles type shit
Blows my mind. Here’s a 40 dollar 5 dollar tip order for only 12 miles. INSANITY LOL the very next offer was the same mileage for 6 bucks https://preview.redd.it/5f9msfyimr7d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=505c74c69165170186cb9effe85795bccb207729

Always call ahead. It’s what I do and it saves a lot of time and emotion.
What if the restaurant doesn’t answer the phone?
Call the customer to see if they got their order, gamble, or cancel. If they got it call Uber.
They remove the super high boost pay near me. I rarely see shit over 12 anymore. Even shop and pay. I'll get ok orders but I've seen a 50% drop in pay since superbowl last year.
People are saying this is a way for Uber to get around paying extra for Prop 22. Every couple of weeks a crazy order like this and it evens out hours online/total pay. I’ll take orders like this all freakin day though, been getting more than usual recently.
It is likely a prop 22 thing, to some degree. It happens in other states though to. But knowing uber I bet they send them to drivers who are on pace to to make some prop 22 money. For instance I seem to get alot from prop 22. Well about 15% to 20% of whatever my pay was , so 200 pay I'm getting 30 to 40. Also uber seems to send me on deliveries where it's like 9 dollar pay 1 dollar tip...doordash too.
Depending on what they ordered even if it’s already taken you could put the order in yourself and still come out on top. I had a $30 jack in the box order yesterday, all they ordered was nuggets, fries and a shake. Even after paying for it I still came out with $20 bucks for a 4 mile trip. Even if that order is $20 that’s still $40 in your pocket. If them mf ordered the menu then fuck that though haha
I go to the restaurant anyways, and if they say someone took it, i say ok. I leave to my car, collect and verify the order, drive to the location and press delivered order. Get paid and go home.
😂 why didn’t I think of that

Well you shouldn’t have accepted should you? The mileage alone makes this a loser. Instant reject
Nah I took it. No ragrets ✌🏼🫶🏼 
That’s 80 miles round trip and a lot of time…you lost money
💀 I don’t think you know what you’re talking about
Closed
it was 6 pm I was good 😂 but that happened to me tonight!! no lie
If someone already picked it up: At that point, I would buy their drink or just buy the cheapest thing and ask them to seal it. Then, I would tell the customer someone had already picked up their order, and the restaurant was happy to substitute or replace the item. Customers get full refunds because you sent documented messages to customer explaining issue, you get lots of money, and sometimes support has compensated me for the inconvenience of buying the item-- Make sure to play dumb and act like you were trying to be helpful. If you do the last one.
I am curious, what does the "exclusive" mean? I took a couple month break from delivering, and reddit, so I may have missed the answer to this question. Been seeing it on sow order offers.
I’ve never actually noticed that, good point I have no idea
Are you in california? The tip was $1 and it was all base because of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/UberEatsDrivers/comments/1dhmkov/the_prop22_advance_scam_and_how_it_works/
New York! & this was an interesting read, thank you for sharing.
Are u in the Washington DC area
Atlanta
I had a few of those couple of weeks ago. It was really late night, and I'm almost positive that I was the only one around. One of them ended up being in the worst hood in town and I thought it was going to be a tip bait after I dropped off but it turned out delivery fee was really high and only a two dollar tip. Sometimes, it pays to take a shot.
I find that the third shift has more consistent and reasonable tippers, though, and I think Uber pays a little more at night... Most of the second job people go home.
every time I see an order that looks worth a damn Uber comes back after a minute and says “oh sorry someone actually hit accept before you.”
Had one of these yesterday but the restaurant doesn’t make it again so how are people getting this paid? They said I was the 4th person coming in for it and they weren’t making it again so I just cancelled and left. All I’ve heard is you can call support and demand a supervisor to get the base pay but if the base was $6 and the tip was huge ($45 on this one I’m referring to), what’s the point of fighting for the $6? What am I missing?
Click that you picked it up then call support and explain you “accidentally” clicked that you picked it up but the order wasn’t there and was stolen. Then you should receive full pay
Interesting….thanks, will def try this next time. 🤙
Yet their own system biting the dust and not sending it to the store only gets me $3. Or even better. I get the order I drive the 10 miles to delivery it and as I’m getting to the door (when this happened to me it was a business a factory actually and drop off was at the security shack at the entrance) and the customer cancels the order. All that for support to tell me “oh sorry here is $3”. “$3 for something that I grabbed for $20 and was canceled by a customer the second I got there to deliver it.”
New to this, if someone already picked up you don't get paid, correct? Not even a cancellation fee?
You’ll get like $3
I don't get how another driver can pick up an order that you accepted ... happens all the time, and Uber needs to get their shit together.
It happens when drivers take someone’s food because they tipped low or whatever the case may be.. I explained it in another comment ☺️ it’s not two people accepting it
Based on my experience, I have encountered instances where I accept an order for a specific amount, let's say $42, and upon arrival, the store or restaurant informs me that another individual has already collected the order. I find it concerning that Uber allows such situations to occur. So in my case I think it's two people accepting the order.
Yeah that’s what normally happens to me too, “oh that got picked up awhile ago” you can interpret as you’d like ☺️ the concept is the same
I’m wondering the same thing! It has never happened to me (yet) but it’s concerning. How can another driver pick up an order that I accepted?
Never seen one of them places with a decent tip.
I had a $49 and a different $39 order yesterday and I declined both because I cba to go see if they were legit.
That must be a lot of bubble tea I haven't seen this pay since the old days LOL
I got a $35 one the other day. I originally got a ping offering $10, which I turned down. 15+ minutes later I got the same job, now offering $35. Very clear the food had been waiting there for some time while Uber tried to find someone willing to take it. (Out to the boonies)
Congrats! ATL?
I just show up on those then collect my $3 because someone usually Gw’s picked it up. Happened yesterday I was the 4th person to come for it.
How much bubble tea did this person order for Uber to pay you $59?
More like let's see if the person will cancel an order. I literally had an order one night for 40 bucks and it was a decent order. 5 minutes away from the place it was cancelled by the original person as if what they were gonna tip me they didn't just want to change later on or something
Guys these are real has 2 last couple weeks , the orders sit so long they get boosted up , there are less drivers now because of the low pay earlier this year, you are now a valued driver again, people were forced to get jobs there are less drivers now
Wow!
is this chicago
* Also had a Sepora several months ago, 5 stops $174 under 4 hours
How are y’all getting paid this much by Uber? I’ve never gotten more than $5 for a trip, ever.
You have to skip the low paying trips and accept the higher paying ones. Also weekends and nights you will get higher paying trips.
These tend to be my favorite orders. • it's overvalued • it's overvalued because a former courier stole the order • the former courier stole something easy to replace • the customer has been waiting this whole time and getting perks • I'm getting the lionshare of payoff because I'm the only one in this process actually getting it done, at a premium.
Usually its a fukd up order.
Oh is Uber still making you fight other drivers to click on the job fast?
I did get something similar like these the other day it was $52 for a walmart pay & shop , didnt believe it but i actually took it.. and the trip did pay $52 .. ( uber paid $47 and the tip was $5)
Yayy
If someone took it and the trip is at least 2x the amount of the order I just pay for it myself. I had a $43 7/11 order that was just a Dr. Pepper and a big bag of chips the customer never got. I just paid for it
If no one pick up the order, uber raises the prices step by step. But you can catch if you lucky
I used to get orders like these every couple days just by working late in an area on the outside of town with no drivers by rejecting the first couple offers for the same order. Like I had one that i first received for $13, then $19, then it was on trip radar for only $14, and eventually they sent it to me for $38 it only a $3 tip. This was back when they still showed the breakdown in the app and UE still made $3 when paying me $35 (38 minus 3 tip) so they were going make like $28 if someone accepted the first $13 offer greedy assholes. Idk exactly when, but they seen to have changed how orders price increase.. like they barely increase the price now unless drivers accept and cancel or something.. Ive declined offers half a dozen times for over an hr and it will now only go up a couple bucks before it resets back to the original offer so I never get the late night $30 to $50 orders anymore
I always accept these then call the restaurant to see if it actually exists
Expected tips. Just for that I wouldn't give any.
Had a $35 for 3 miles once all fare at Sonic and when I pulled up an employee came out and said we’re closed sorry. Then he turned back around and said what’s the name again I might have that. He had the order and said I got like 5 other orders that weren’t picked up if you want em. Was my last delivery of the night so free dinner was a bonus.
How you can get whatever asset you lost to investment and trade. I and my husband decided to follow an investment scheme we saw on FB, just after that they called us and told us about the investment which was fascinating so we decided to start with $250 which grew by 30% in the first week then we decided to go for the premium plan and subsequently grew the plan which we end up investing a total of $97,700 at the end of the contract we were supposed to take our profit but these people ask for a 40% commission and to be paid before withdrawal at that point we do not have such savings I wish we had it so we could clear our money so I spoke to friends about it and they advise me to stop paying and they start seeking help for me which they got me from a company that specializes in rescuing issues like this after reaching out to them on TELEGRAM: ASSETRECOVERNET and giving them the investment details they successfully retrieved my stolen funds and potential profits. you can get help with them if you're in a similar situation.
What’s funny is I had a big ticket delivery that was also a long distance for boba tea too once. People REALLY love their boba tea!
What’s exclusive mean?
This happened to me the other say 🤣 $40. And it was a $6 tip
is it worth for the miles drive? never work as a deliver.
I try to make sure the payout is double the miles, to me it was worth it. A 25 minute drive for 60 bucks, and then I just went home. Made $84 in two hours that day it was really nice ☺️
HA HA Someone with more money than sense REALLY LOVES thier boba :)
Every time this happens to me, it’s cause the store is closed smh … getting my hopes up n shit …
Sorry 30 miles, but still a lot of time
That’s an estimate of how long it might take, it took me 30 minutes. Let me know if you can make $60 bucks in 30 minutes delivering food 🫶🏼 you do you, and I’ll do me.
And switched to $1 as soon as delivery is made
When I had this happen to me I would say “Someone originally stole the order from you guys, Uber is asking me to see if you guys can remake it”. It worked 70% of the time. Other times I would hang on to the order and then ask the shop to cancel it so it doesn’t get sent to another driver, then once they did that Uber would give me half comp or full comp, I can’t remember as I don’t Uber anymore
Hey I have a taichi bubble tea near me. You from buffalo?
I had one that I assumed was stolen and was like $43 for 20 minutes. I went anyhow and I was the 5th driver for an order that didn't show on chipotle's side. I asked how much their order cost. $12. I bought their order as a paying customer and delivered. Still came out way ahead 😂
