The choices are either I use them one per month or less and tip as I currently do or quit using them. I’m not willing to pay more. I will forgo the service rather than pay more, in other words.

Even registered nurses make as little as $16 an hour. All this in awful working conditions and with high infection risk. They're supposed to subsidize Ubereats for not paying its employees enough? How have they managed to gaslight you all so much that you would blame the customer rather than these rip-off artists for not paying their employees a living wage? And don't even start with "if they can't afford to tip, they shouldn't order in" - ordering in is safer for all of us

OP here. It's hard for me to put it in average tip terms but on a typical Friday/Saturday night, from say 6p-11p, pay can range between $80-$130 for me. These two nights are obviously when people order most often, and tend to tip more as they're getting food for the household vs during breakfast or lunch, oftentimes it's a meal for one, so lots of small to zero tips. I do set aside 20% as I know I'll owe during tax time as an independent contractor but no surprise there when doing this type of work.

I’m a low paid essential worker and that’s more than I make in an evening babysitting, so I’m cool with not tipping. I’m already paying for the service. Since you do so well in tips, you will be fine without money from me.

But the scammers came out if woodwork. First Instacart wants more and more shoppers so good orders only do to née shoppers. Then the Bots. Folks have created Bots that scrape Instacart, Uber eats etc for best orders and auto grabs then for you first a fee. So the shopper gets hit with double fees.

Then customers reneging tips after the fact. The worse customers in no parking zones on apts on busy streets. It can take 30-40 minutes to safely park and you lose money.

The straw that broke the camels back. Some rich dick teen in Potomac in a mansion. My daughter did a Safeway run in Potomac, after she saw in Uber eats at cheeseburger from hunters ordered. So pulls into tight lot, some women scratches up my daughters car and refused ti pay and claimed she did it. Anyhow she still has to deliver cheeseburger, pulls up to mansion and literally a 18 year old was hanging out watching tv, he comes to door before daughter called. Drop it, daughter goes sorry I am late my car hit scratched I hunter parking lot, he goes yea it is tight which is why I ordered don’t want to get my BMW scratched. My daughter cried in driveway and left and that was last time

And folks with big others. It seems a lot but you really need a second shopper and split money to do them so it is only half pay

Lol. Ordering food is a luxury, not a necessity. I'll tip a few bucks regardless.

I didn’t say it’s a necessity. Which is why I’m paying for what I purchased, and only that. It’s not my job to pay Uber’s employees.

What? They’re underpaid and are devoting their service time *to you* for a minimum of 20 minutes. If you don’t tip you are exploiting them and should be ashamed of yourself.
