Okay so you don't recognize it as a quote of you because I didn't go ultra correct and write "it has 'nothing [...] to do with' it"? I'm quoting you, don't be dense.
i once delivered a comically large pizza that no fucking joke, almost didn’t even fit in my car with the seats back. it was paying enough for me to struggle with it though so i dealt with it (probably cancelled multiple times before it got to me)
My local pizza place sells a 30” pizza and the driver pulled up in a minivan because he was the only one who had a vehicle with a door big enough to take it. It didn’t fit flat through the door to my house.
God, I had a 28” pizza got assigned to me. I cancelled because I’m on a bike. Then they kept bundling it with other restaurants on the same block. I ended up cancelling it three times, I eventually turned the app off for like 15 minutes.
You know a drone that can carry a 4’x4’ dresser for 15 bucks? I don’t know if it’s a thing in uk but a U-Haul here is 20 bucks for the day and you can do whatever you want with it lol, especially NOT inconveniencing an uber driver
Do you need to yell? These are the Uber delivery robots. They don't have 'desk delivery' sized ones. What robots do you think they'll be assigning to desk delivery orders?
That's why I said eventually drivers will be irrelevant. Because eventually there will be autonomous vehicles and eventually they will deliver items without having to pay more money to recline seats. And by vehicles I don't mean itty bitty remote control cars, tf. Hello??
If y'all are drivers today, it's no wonder 1/3 of you can't find where to leave things.
A third of all drivers for gig work are unhirable or incapable of normal work. The rest are everyone else thats normal and capable. Big rip to the 1/3 when they go byebye
> If y'all are drivers today, it's no wonder 1/3 of you can't find where to leave things.
Why do you feel the need to be insulting? Did someone here insult you, or are you just that kind of person?
That future vehicle won't be taking an elevator to the 8th floor of an apartment building to deliver to the disabled guy. And bigger vehicles means bigger items in the vehicle, making it more of a target. Currently there isn't much of an incentive to hack the little robots for $10 of McDonald's food.
While I will agree with you that they will attempt this in the future, I don't think it will work out for them as well as they think it will. I'd like to see a cost breakdown on the current robots with all the costs of operating them (maintenance, charging, etc.) I'm fairly confident it costs more to run one of these robots than the $2 they offer the drivers. A larger vehicle would just be more expensive.
I bet that drones and full size cars will deliver most of the things in the near future, but it's completely different topic. Uber should just hire everyone, all imigrants, students etc, remove upfront tips feature and let drivers fightfor orders, who will be first to accept the order, he will earn some small amount, others will sit without work, so it will be a fight who will accept it first. Without upront tip, everything will be fixed.
Even if my vehicle can accommodate that; I’m not picking up your desk for 12$. I’ll wait 3 minutes and get an order to deliver a few bags of chips and a chocolate bar instead for the same price.
Kinda dumb to add extra nonexistent fanfic context saying they meant rearranging other items in the car when they explicitly define putting the seats down as rearranging.
Nope, this is what the poster said: "No, I wouldn't take it. If I have to rearrange my car for your delivery, I need more money."
No mention of putting down the seats at all although that's likely part of rearranging, that may not be all they have to do. I mean, do you have things in the back of your vehicle that you would need to move in the rare event that you needed to haul furniture? I don't but most people do. A delivery driver for what is primarily a food service doesn't need to rearrange to deliver McDonalds.
kinda dumb to not realize that the only way a person would even know whether or not they'd need to "rearrange" anything is if they've already accepted the order and found out that the item was too big to fit in the vehicle
If they're signed up for courier services, they shouldn't be using their car as storage space for knickknacks or whatever. The expectation is that you're using your car to transport things that fit in the car. Folding your seats down is not an inconvenience that should cost the customer money.
You’re moving furniture that can scratch and damage your car along with adding harder labor you 1000% should charge the customer more for a delivery like that. Time, wear and tear, miles are all labor that should be accommodated.
I have used Ubers for transporting small pieces of furniture before but I’ll always call to ask them if it’s okay and that I’ll leave a $10 tip at least. Many will say no but there’s always someone who’s happy to do it
People play too damn much. This is the reason why I don’t take Walmart orders people try to order canoes and tents and want me to mount things to the roof of my car. No thank you.
The people are ordering through Walmart's website. Walmart then chooses a courier service like roadie, ubereats or doordash. The customer has no idea who is delivering it.
Are you a driver? One is not unreasonable, 20 cases of 40 waters each is definitely fucking rude. Drivers don't get paid for the loading and unloading part and do not have weight belts or equipment to load and unload crap.
I got a wagon in the trunk. But I am doing more shop and pay grocery orders and Instacart to keep the miles lower on the car since I am in California which offers a guaranteed hourly of $21.36 per active hour. So I do not mind multiple cases of water anymore, actually I expect it.
Cases of water isn't unreasonable but when people are ordering 20+ cases and 100 bags of mulch is where it gets unreasonable? I don't understand why you commented lmao
