UK Uber Need To Be Stricter With Drivers

In sick to death of it. Someone accepts my order. It's there sitting and ready to be collected. He goes halfway around the city and back multiple times over before picking up my order, to go halfway around the city and back, stop at a house for 20 minutes before bringing my food stone cold. Sometimes this even happens with groceries containing temperature sensitive items like meat or dairy. I've had orders taken 3.5 hours and Uber won't reassign the order. And the driver never gets booted off the platform and does it all over again.

If you're one of the drivers that do this, you are the absolute worst. Uber need to be stricter with this and hand out instant bans the first time someone does this, and not allow them to just make endless new accounts

Why are people so hopelessly dependent on delivery apps bringing food. A mere 10 years ago this would not an issue as food delivery was limited to Chinese and pizza places. Everyone was fine then and now people are addicted to this like a drug.

I don’t know OP’s situation but I just see so many people complaining about the service and it just makes me wonder why that they don’t just pick it up themselves.

I don’t know about others, but some people can’t drive. I’m blind, it would literally be illegal and dangerous for me to do so.

That’s unfortunate. I understand the need in cases like you but unfortunately, you represent a small minority of people who understandably benefits from these services.

Most other people who are quite able-bodied false proclaim their justification on the level as someone as you for app delivery when in reality that’s not the case
