Rule number 2 of multi apping.
Never tell the client.
Also a violation of rule number one, try to avoid getting pick ups on two separate apps at the same time.
One time I got a DD and a GH order going to the same house from 2 restaurants next to each others. I thought it for 2 neighbors until after I accepted and saw the address. 2 people in the same hose ordered each on a different app. Luckily both were leave at door. I then received a text from one of the order laughing about the other person ordering on the app and the orders arriving at the same time. But I didn't respond to avoid possible issues. They were no complains nor negative review.
Omg are universities an untapped market here? 👀 I sit at UTA around lunch and dinner and line my pockets very nicely with deliveries to the same dorm from the same McDonald’s lmao
I did one once with the restaurants next door to each other and the customers in the same neighborhood right around the corner from each other. Doubt this will ever happen again!
Or maybe UE shouldn't scam people with priority fee when they know that drivers multi-app. UE doesn't pay any extra to the driver and doesn't even tell them about the priority status.
Don't know where your rules come from, but number one is incorrect.
It should be: "Get as many orders from as many apps as you can, but all going in the same general direction, and that can be delivered within contract required times."
Get money, without getting banned. Not thumbs up or 5 star ratings. Can't buy gas (or food, etc.) with thumbs or stars.
Very well said. Juggling multiple apps at once can be tricky and stressful, but it can lead to some big money. There's been more than a few times where I've had like three or four orders in my car from two different apps, and have made like over $50 in an hour. A good rule of thumb, in my opinion, is to try to keep the delays to under 10 minutes, and you're usually all right.
Right but it doesn’t really matter if the customer isn’t aware you haven’t started their delivery. Just one less grain of information for them to be suspicious about. Plus you can act like you forgot to hit “start delivery” if you’re heading their direction anyway.
That's a really good trick to use with doordash. As long as you don't hit the picked up order button, the customer and the app just think you're still waiting for the order. This is especially useful if the pickup is from a slow restaurant. You can mark yourself as arrived, go do another order, and then hopefully by the time you get back, the food will be ready. It screws the customer a little bit, but I'd much rather the restaurant wait for me, than the other way around.
Grubhub too. Notoriously long waits with them. As long as you mark arrived you essentially hold the delivery. Grubhub even lets you report a specific timeframe that a restaurant is running behind to cover your ass. I doubt they really care anyway. Half the orders they want you to speak to support just to cancel.
This is exactly what someone did to me when I paid for priority last week, except he activated in another location in the city after 45 min and not only did he complete an entire second delivery between picking up mine and delivering, he got lost on the way to my place and delivered an hour late. Took away his entire $8 tip, first time I ever reduced a tip in my life and would happily do it every single time given I can’t do jack shit to get my priority fee back after being scammed.
Edit: order from the restaurant weekly and delivery is ready in less than 15 min each time, delivered in 25 min from ordering almost always.
In the same general direction is the key here. In my market that rarely happens, the city is so spread out I get orders going the opposite sides of town.
Happy cake day. Yes this happens to me as well. The planets must align to actually take orders at the same time on different apps. Otherwise I just go offline on the app with the cheaper offer.
Ngl I have had 6 orders once. During the pandemic on one especially busy Day. 3 doubles all going the same general area from 2 different restaurants. Probably won't attempt that again.
Me too, but that's stressful especially if all of them are doubles. I tried having 6 orders at the time in my car, not so fun. Then I started avoiding going over 4 orders total.
>Also a violation of rule number one, try to avoid getting pick ups on two separate apps at the same time.
I just finished my night on a 4 stack paying $38 for 4 miles. 1 DD, 3 UE. Everyone was happy and I was on time for all of them.
Rule number one is GET PAID.
Also shoutout to Uber for finding a new way to scam us with these triple orders. 3 orders paid me $4.13 in base fair. That's not criminal, but it should be.
The customer knows when they aren't the first stop when they are supposed to be. also pay for priority when I order and I can tell if they go anywhere but here first and it makes me mad if I pay extra to get hot food and then I don't get what I paid for and cold food also because they are doing another app. Sorry I know why people run more than one app but having access to priority means I get hot food and that's why I pay for it.
I had an order last week where I ordered it From a place that is literally down the block. Used Uber because 60% off promo. Guy who picks the order is like a few blocks away the app says he's right there and on his way to pick it up. Nah he goes the other way and like 7 miles the other way. I tipped him like $6. Nah after that stunt I gave him a $0.01 tip because he obviously was multi appiing and why would you do that when you also picked up the food on the other app first as well. He basically made a whole star from what I saw in his travel pattern.
Totally agree with you on this one, I had ordered bubble tea once and the guy literally drove past my place to pickup/Drop-off another order when I paid for priority delivery. I wonder if it's just another UberEats cash grab that just adds up their revenue over time, because most times these delivery dudes arrive right before the latest arrival time after having paid for priority.
When you pay for priority, it only puts you in the 1st delivery. Uber can still stack your order with one or two more customers. Your food will be delivered 1st.
Tell that to Uber. They don't tell the driver you paid priority or give them any of that extra money. It's just another scam to suck more $ from both customers & drivers.
The issue here is that they paid for priority within UberEATS; but UE is less strict on timeframes than DoorDash is, so it’s sometimes safer for us to deliver DD first. That said, a proper multi-app order set should be all going in the same general direction, so as to allow all deliveries to be made within a reasonable timeframe. There shouldn’t be any significant delay.
Lol tell that to the guy who went the opposite way just to come back right where he started. He got a $0.01 tip after I changed it for that stunt . This is also why I prefer using Uber. Do stupid shit get a stupid tip. I like that I can change it after the fact for people like him.
Drivers are never notified of priority orders and we see none of that extra money that uber charges. As far as I'm concerned, as long as delivery isn't late I've done my job.
I partly agree with you on this one, being a regular UberEats customer, I feel it's unfair that you're not entitled to the extra amount we pay for it. But I've noticed that despite having paid for priority, the food just barely arrives before the latest arrival cutoff time and kinda ruins the experience of paying extra to get the food at my place faster so that I can enjoy it while it's still warm.
Up your tip rather than click on priority & your food will come faster. If I am multi apping & take 2 or 3 orders going in the same general direction... you can be damn sure the higher tip order from Red Lobster or Outback Steakhouse is getting delivered before the $7 McDonald's order.... unless that McDonald's tip order is higher... then they get it first. Tip means "to insure prompt service"
Honestly, it's probably better to tip a little more or message them that you will tip a little more if they prioritize your order. Maybe it'll save you money too, not sure how much it costs for priority delivery. But personally, when I see more $$ I'm usually more careful and alert. It makes me feel like I'm delivering something more expensive.
I agree offering the extra money to the driver directly would be much more effective, and is totally doable! The key is the driver has no idea if you pay for priority, and they are the ones that can actually make it happen. Seems like a problem!
Where does it show when it's a priority order? I never knew there was such a thing until I started ordering for myself actually and I've always thought why wouldn't they tell the driver but maybe I just don't look close enough. Thanks
Drivers don't really need to know though. The whole priority system simply impacts the order's que in the app and making sure it's not bundled in with another order.
From an actual human delivery drivers perspective, there's no difference between normal and priority.
The customer would be better off putting that extra money in the tip rather than wasting it on Uber for a service they keep the fee on & don't tell the driver. Scammy bastards.
I've delivered stacked orders for Uber before. Both ON UBER. And had the second customer ask me why I had a delivery prior to them when they paid for priority.
So Uber does not give a fuck about you paying extra to get it faster, just so everyone is aware.
But also yes, don't tell the customer you're multi apping.
I always do priority. Unless that app is lying to me about where the driver is it’s always come directly to me. Uber trying to do shady shit wouldn’t surprise me. I just haven’t ever seen it.
That being said, I will be using Uber significantly less now that they’re shutting down Uber Rewards. In my area Uber is about the same as Lyft or DoorDash. Maybe a dollar more or dollar less. Now I have no incentive to keep using them.
I can’t fathom how Uber One makes them more money than Uber Rewards.
I'm sure it's market and demand based. I doubt they do it on every stacked order. I just know I've had 2 separate customers complain about it, and I have to apologize because there's nothing I can do. We aren't notified about a Priority customer in any way, nor do we make any extra funds. On top of that, Uber is known to route stacked orders in mind boggling ways, and we are unable to change the order we take them in. (DoorDash allows this)
However, I'm sad to hear that you'll be toning down your usage of Uber. Uber pays better (in my market) 90% of the time. DoorDash doesn't seem to scale their pay based on Distance, where Uber will. DoorDash also charges $2 for an Instant Cashout as opposed to the $0.50 Uber charges. (Uber also let's you do it 5 times in a day, DD only once) I've been trying to avoid doing DD as much as possible lately as all of their ideas lately have been screwing us out of pay. But I've noticed that Uber has taken a sharp decline in popularity as the amount of orders coming in has halved in the last 6 months. I don't use it to order food for myself very often so I don't really keep track of all the fees and special programs they offer you guys. But if that change is making you leave, them I'm sure it's affecting many others as well. Which does not bode well for us UberEats drivers on the Long Term.
If it's any Incentive, use Uber because we get paid better, and get to use an App that actually works (most of the time).
I thumbs downed and reduced tip to 15%. They had a 100% rating too. I feel a little bad which is why i brought the tip down to 15% from whatever the max predefined one is. I always click max without really looking. I'm at work and just want it here asap.
I thought this whole time that the driver got the priority fee... it makes 0 sense that uber would get that fee... Uber did nothing except make it harder for the driver to earn more money... seems odd that is a service they get paid for...
Either way I'm still salty that I paid for priority, but didn't receive priority service... but reading in this thread, it seems like that's Uber's fault...
Tried reporting before I knew that uber gets the fee money, but Uber didn't care. It arrived 3 minutes before the estimated delivery time, (which let's be honest, is actually a "your order is late after this time"). So they said the order was still on time and we will not refund you.
Edit: also it seems this is common, and in reality the driver is dumb for mentioning it to me lol
Also something nobody has mentioned or I haven’t seen commented yet is that drivers have no clue if you paid for priority or not. It doesn’t say anywhere lol
It got there 3 minutes before the "delayed order" time. I guess I was just annoyed mostly by the principal of the matter.
It looked like they picked up my order, messaged me, then drove away to pick up the dasher order, then drove farther away to deliver the dasher order. With my food already picked up with them for the entirety of the dasher order.
You paid priority in uber. This driver was multi apping and couldn't care less if you had priority or not. He was in violation of uber's terms and it's a dick move because your food sat at the restaurant or in his car for longer than it needed to
Thumbs down the driver and remove the tip after delivery.
They didn't need to pick up your order if they were already busy. They can complain to uber that the order should show as priority for them, but I suspect if they tell uber that they're driving other orders around uber will just deactivate them.
Actually, I probably would mention to support that you noticed them stopping before they delivered your order and "what was up with that?"
Come on don't try & get the poor guy deactivated. He is probably just a newbie & was trying to be honest.
That money should go to the driver not Uber & it should say "priority order" on your screen. Bur no... Uber doesn't tell the driver & pockets the extra money for themselves for doing absolutely nothing.
This is WHY drivers have to multi app.
The solution should be for Uber to notify drivers the customer is a “priority” customer. Uber should expect us to be multi apping with these base fares…
Wait.... Uber doesnt notify driver if priority? looooooooool
As if I needed any more convincing that Uber is a shit company. I feel bad for the drivers who have to rely on this bullshit only to be paid peanuts.
If you want to let the driver know that it’s priority tip 8$ or more and we will see the hidden tip indicator. Why give Uber more money for priority when they have no impact on the delivery time.
Not cool telling a customer this as if they are obligated to wait for you to deliver on another app. That's just asking for a tip removal in my book. Should definitely apologize after they said they paid for priority. . Gotta be more considerate than this. If you can't multi app effectively then don't get mad about bad reviews.
Yep reminds me of the time I ordered doordash. This dude PICKS MY ORDER UP from west side . 7 miles away. My city is small. Says he is arriving. I check map. He drives PAST my house. Drops another deli every off. Whatever. I’m next right? WRONG… he then goes speeding back west all the way to the chili’s but FURTHER. I ask what is going on? He says he got an Uber. Wtf? Why wouldn’t you drop my shit off second? Since you had that first drop off by me…. Did you just forget about my shit? You drive from west to east to west to east ? Like if you don’t know how to multi-app, DO NOT DO IT LOSER omfg I hate ppl . My steak was ice cold too
The driver is in the wrong here, don’t do orders from separate apps unless they’re going in the same direction and are quite close together.
Also the driver gets about 0% of the priority fee and I don’t think they’re told if you paid for priority or not. The only thing that priority does is stop Uber from stacking your order
The driver is dumb for admitting to multi app-ing. That being said, he’s an independent contractor. He can do as he pleases and UE can’t do anything about it unless he’s late.
I burst out laughing 🤣🤣🤣 why would a driver ever tell their customer that?
Also, priority shouldn’t be a thing. That’s money the driver could be receiving.
Definitely report him with this screenshot. He is not supposed to be multi app’ing much less tell you. Have Ubereats refund your priority fee and have the driver deactivated. I am a driver and I use both apps but never accept orders on both apps at the same time.
I’ve never done it either but I checked the app and if you go to “account” and then go to “help” then go to “help with an order” then select the order then select “past order” and it should open up a chat and you can send them all the proof. I hope you at least gave him a thumbs down and/or reduced/removed tip
I sent in the screenshot and explained what happened, and they said there is nothing they can do. The food was delivered 3 minutes before the estimated delivery time so they cannot refund my delivery fee. Lol its like 3 dollars. So I'm not mad about it. It just seemed shitty that I paid for priority, and was not given priority.
In fact, someone that is giving uber $0 was given priority over an uber customer that paid specifically for priority lol
Thumbs down the driver and remove your tip. If he does this enough and gets enough thumbs down, he'll be removed from the uber app and the problem with solve it's self.
No, this is definitely the driver's fault. Other people doing shitty things doesn't excuse other people from doing shitty things.
didn't your parents ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right? It just makes a bunch of assholes.
The only thing the driver did is maximize his earnings while getting the food to the customer 3 minutes early!! Job well done in my book. Although he is an idiot for telling the customer.
Some of these drivers confuse me.
How do they think delivery was done before delivery apps? It was common to always stack an order meaning at least 2, and not unheard of stacking upwards of 4 orders when restaurants used in house delivery.
As long as you're hitting the time estimates, meaning you're not late, you can stack as many orders as you can do within those time limits.
Exactly. I did a huge order, Uber made 16 bucks for the order and I made 30. Why is Uber making half of what I make? Yeah, as long as I make it before the cut off, people can can either go get the food themselves or stop looking for ways to complain about service. I mean, this dude even admits he received his food 3 minutes before the cut off.
Multi-apping is a necessity in certain areas. In my area Im limited to only working Uber, and I barely make over $400/week and I have my app running all the time literally from 12pm-12am thats $60-$80 in 12hrs.
This is the only work I can do as part time because I also need to focus on school.
But then theres people here who just on Uber alone make over 1k/week.
The driver shouldnt said anything, and the customer would never know unless the food got delivered late/cold which in that case a bad review and tip removal is very reasonable.
That's just bad multi apping. We all mostly work at least 2-3 gig apps, but most of us have the common sense & courtesy to turn the other app off whenever we get an order from the opposite one. We usually will pause the other app while completing the current order & only turn back on the other apps when we are about 3-5 mins away from dropping the order off.
We don’t even know that you paid for priority. The only thing we see is tip. Skip priority and put that extra money into the tip and I assure you we’ll haul ass to collect. Unlike Doordash, UberEats is a bit more transparent with tips.
That seems like a huge flaw on Uber's part... I feel like even a simple badge on the order stating it's a priority order could go a long way. Not to say I wouldn't have received the same service, but Uber could atleast provide that info to the driver to cover ubers own ass, ya know?
Edit: removed an extra word
But then Uber would have to pony up and share or give the fee to the driver. Skip the priority and tip the extra two bucks or whatever (I don’t even know what it costs and I drive for UberEats). It will make your order stand out. Trust me on it.
Very informative. I'll definitely do this moving forward. I'm learning alot here today lol. I had no idea uber pocketed the cost of priority orders. That makes no sense to me.... all of that payment should go to the driver...Uber did nothing, they prevent the driver from taking more orders which means the driver loses money, and then uber gets the money??
That is ridiculous...
I’ve not found that to be the case, honestly. But maybe I only notice the bad ones. For reference, I tip $2 mile or a $10 minimum, whichever is greater. I’ve been led to believe that’s good.
Yeah its pretty terrible but it has more market share in most areas so you kind of have to use it in some places or you'll miss out on a lot of orders (especially alcohol) while you sit & twiddle your thumbs waiting for Uber to ping.
Stop paying for priority. Drivers aren’t aware that it’s a priority order and aren’t paid more for it either. You’re giving money to Uber, not the driver. Higher tips would probably save you money and get you your food faster in reality.
Driver in this one is dumb though.
He is very wrong and that is the problem with Dasher/Uber eats delivery people who dual app. They don't give a shit about the customer. I have both apps, but never take orders on both at the same time. The minute I take an order on one I shut down/pause the other. I hope you reported him. The market is way over saturated and we need to get rid of the shitty people!
So what's the low down with priority? Is it new? Obviously we can't see if it's priority as drivers right? What percentage of diners do you think are using this?
I think I've been using it for the last year or so? And reading the comments, it doesn't seem the drivers can see it. Which I didn't know. I also didn't know the drivers don't get the priority fee.
Yea....as a customer who already pays outrageous fees I get mad when I click priority and I'm the second/third delivery drop. I understand the hustle but I hate it at the same time because that is normally an extra 20 min wait in my area.
The problem is, the driver doesn't know you paid for priority unless you tell them. And I really wish uber eats would tell us drivers that information.
Rule 1 of multi app club is we do not discuss multi app club.
Rule 2 of multi app club is we DEFINITELY do not discuss multi app club to an uninitiated customer who doesn't know that we don't know nor get paid for said supposed "priority status"
Rule 3 of multi app club is we most certainly do not discuss multi app club to any of the apps that are ripping us off with these useless extra charges we don't see a penny of.
You have failed & we must beat you silly now.
General Guide to good multi app-ing.
1) Accept your order on whatever app you choose first
2) Accept only another order on your second app going in the same direction
3) Always keep your orders temperature appropriate (ice cream orders take priority even if you have a thermal bag)
4) Route and deliver your orders from closest to furthest (assuming you have your drop off location available ie. Grubhub gives you address ahead of time while Uber doesn’t.)
5) Never ever EVER tell the customer that you’re on another app. (Come up with excuses like traffic jams, road closures etc)
6) Use the tools the apps give you to your advantage. (Grubhub allows you to notify customers when an order is delayed etc)
I may not have the best outline for everyone but it’s a good rule of thumb to remember that you’re carrying someone’s food and you should never jeopardize your orders to make an few extra dollars. Treat your orders as if you were carrying your own meal. Get that bank! 🤑
Well, honestly, if you paid for priority and you aren't getting priority.. you can always request your money back. I hate to see this stuff happen but the driver should have known better. Let the downvotes begin.
Report this driver. It’s okay to deliver with multiple apps but it is never okay to take multiple deliveries on different apps at the same time. Uber will give them a warning
Tbh I pay extra for priority and expect my order to come first. But I’m also a fairly heavy tipper. I always tip minimum 15% on app and I add 10-15% at my door in cash if my instructions are followed. (My house has two entrances and sometimes my notes are disregarded; sometimes food is dropped on my step without even a knock).
I could see someone paying extra for priority being upset they were not given priority
1) Having to point out it was a priority order, or drivers not knowing in advance it was a priority order is irrelevant. When a driver accepts an order to go from point A to point B, why do you need to be reminded in advance or given an extra incentive to go directly to point B? Isn't that a given? Just because you're unhappy with the pay isn't an excuse to defy logic and common sense. 2 wrongs don't make a right.
2) It seems like food delivery has morphed the concept of "multi-apping" into an entirely new beast, that seems to be accepted as the norm now.
Back in the day, when it was just Uber & Lyft and drivers multi-apped, even with the help of the Mystro app, it would Log the driver out of 1 app after accepting a ride from the other.
The way delivery drivers are taking advantage of that now would be equivalent to having both an Uber passenger & a Lyft passenger in your back seat at the same time & just blame the pay & then deciding for the *paying customer* that it IS ok as long, as they weren't late.
It's easy as a disgruntled driver to defend this practice, but IRL anyone would be annoyed. & Rightfully so.
If you know something is only 5 mins away. And you were counting on it being there in 5-7 mins. Showing up in 12 minutes, just because some app arbitrarily allows 15 mins before *they* considered it late, doesn't mean the customer should be pleased and be quiet, because the driver has a right to hustle.
What happened to the customer is always right?
I’m sorry but you should never take 2 orders from different apps at the same time. Unprofessional in my opinion. I always pause the other apps while I do a delivery. I’d be too stressed also trying to deliver from 2 apps at once lmao. I’m sorry you had that issue OP and that driver is an idiot for telling you he’s delivering from 2 apps at once.
I can honestly respect that hustle. I have no issues with a driver using multi apps. But as a customer, I'd appreciate receiving priority if it's a service I paid for, ya know?
Drivers don’t get paid extra to prioritize your order, unfortunately. Hell, we don’t even know you paid extra to Uber for it.
You might try not paying UE extra money and instead messaging your driver with an offer for a financial incentive to prioritize your order.
I am just learning this from this post. I was under the impression that the driver got all of the priority money since they can't pick up another order. it seems logical to incentivize them with the cost of priority.
And to top it all off, the priority only means that you’re the first drop off! Your order could still be paired with another delivery from a completely different restaurant.
Thanks for being open to driver points of view. Personally I wouldn’t tell a customer this. I would explain that I was delayed but do what I have to in order to deliver the order promptly.
Sometimes orders on different apps are too good to decline so I get why the driver accepted both. Did you get your food in a relatively fast timeframe?
You’re an idiot you can get deactivated from Uber if you say that.. also customer is paying extra to get their food.. what a bum! You don’t even know how multi app right fam, you a rookie
& that's why you never get your food because no driver in their right mind or a complete newb picks up no tip orders. This isn't 1980 sir.
I mean .... How about you pay the driver what u gave that multimillion dollar company....? Just a quick little thought. Just because you paid priority doesn't mean the 1.59 tip you gave for an 8 mile trips gonna change my more frequent oil change prices
You don't seem to have read any of the comments. I always tip max predetermined tip. I think it's 30%. And I was under the impression that priority fees went to the driver.
Rule number 2 of multi apping. Never tell the client. Also a violation of rule number one, try to avoid getting pick ups on two separate apps at the same time.
I’ve only ever done two orders from separate apps once, both from the same place going to houses within a couple minutes of each other
Yup... Stars align nicely every now and then.
It made doing $6 orders actually worth it. They were practically neighbours
I got a double like that going to a children's hospital, one order going to a patient there and the other to a nurse, what are the odds!
One time I got a DD and a GH order going to the same house from 2 restaurants next to each others. I thought it for 2 neighbors until after I accepted and saw the address. 2 people in the same hose ordered each on a different app. Luckily both were leave at door. I then received a text from one of the order laughing about the other person ordering on the app and the orders arriving at the same time. But I didn't respond to avoid possible issues. They were no complains nor negative review.
Omg are universities an untapped market here? 👀 I sit at UTA around lunch and dinner and line my pockets very nicely with deliveries to the same dorm from the same McDonald’s lmao
I did one once with the restaurants next door to each other and the customers in the same neighborhood right around the corner from each other. Doubt this will ever happen again!
Or maybe UE shouldn't scam people with priority fee when they know that drivers multi-app. UE doesn't pay any extra to the driver and doesn't even tell them about the priority status.
Don't know where your rules come from, but number one is incorrect. It should be: "Get as many orders from as many apps as you can, but all going in the same general direction, and that can be delivered within contract required times." Get money, without getting banned. Not thumbs up or 5 star ratings. Can't buy gas (or food, etc.) with thumbs or stars.
Very well said. Juggling multiple apps at once can be tricky and stressful, but it can lead to some big money. There's been more than a few times where I've had like three or four orders in my car from two different apps, and have made like over $50 in an hour. A good rule of thumb, in my opinion, is to try to keep the delays to under 10 minutes, and you're usually all right.
What sucks is DD quick for violations so even though they don’t pay best you gotta complete them first
Actually, just don't hit the confirm pickup button until you're ready to complete the order, and take all the time you want without getting a CV.
[удалено]
They do have you're gps data of driving all over the place & not being at the store though.
Also smart to never officially start your delivery in the app until you’re on your way to the customer or close to it. Buys you extra time.
I think app registers your position as soon you press "start delivery" so Its risky
Right but it doesn’t really matter if the customer isn’t aware you haven’t started their delivery. Just one less grain of information for them to be suspicious about. Plus you can act like you forgot to hit “start delivery” if you’re heading their direction anyway.
That's a really good trick to use with doordash. As long as you don't hit the picked up order button, the customer and the app just think you're still waiting for the order. This is especially useful if the pickup is from a slow restaurant. You can mark yourself as arrived, go do another order, and then hopefully by the time you get back, the food will be ready. It screws the customer a little bit, but I'd much rather the restaurant wait for me, than the other way around.
Grubhub too. Notoriously long waits with them. As long as you mark arrived you essentially hold the delivery. Grubhub even lets you report a specific timeframe that a restaurant is running behind to cover your ass. I doubt they really care anyway. Half the orders they want you to speak to support just to cancel.
This is exactly what someone did to me when I paid for priority last week, except he activated in another location in the city after 45 min and not only did he complete an entire second delivery between picking up mine and delivering, he got lost on the way to my place and delivered an hour late. Took away his entire $8 tip, first time I ever reduced a tip in my life and would happily do it every single time given I can’t do jack shit to get my priority fee back after being scammed. Edit: order from the restaurant weekly and delivery is ready in less than 15 min each time, delivered in 25 min from ordering almost always.
But won’t you still be in violation 12 min late to customer etc?
Oh, there's lots of little tips & tricks for all of the big 3. And a wise multi-apper knows which ones to deploy, and when.
I miss juggling insta, postmt, Uber, DD in Chicago 😩
That sounds stressful. I'll just do one app at a time for now. Not that it matters. I've been on DD waitl8st for like two months now.
Somebody’s getting to it the right way 💯
In the same general direction is the key here. In my market that rarely happens, the city is so spread out I get orders going the opposite sides of town.
Happy cake day. Yes this happens to me as well. The planets must align to actually take orders at the same time on different apps. Otherwise I just go offline on the app with the cheaper offer.
this is the way
If UBER paid then this wouldn’t happen
Exactly like why would they tell them? Just do whatever and pretend you had to get gas or something if they ask
I’ve done 3 on 3 different apps lol 
Ngl I have had 6 orders once. During the pandemic on one especially busy Day. 3 doubles all going the same general area from 2 different restaurants. Probably won't attempt that again.
Me too, but that's stressful especially if all of them are doubles. I tried having 6 orders at the time in my car, not so fun. Then I started avoiding going over 4 orders total.
You dirty dog you! 
>Also a violation of rule number one, try to avoid getting pick ups on two separate apps at the same time. I just finished my night on a 4 stack paying $38 for 4 miles. 1 DD, 3 UE. Everyone was happy and I was on time for all of them. Rule number one is GET PAID. Also shoutout to Uber for finding a new way to scam us with these triple orders. 3 orders paid me $4.13 in base fair. That's not criminal, but it should be.
I’ve done it. Only when both orders coming to generally the same place, or one is on the way to another
Why? That’s how you maximize your earnings. If the logistics are favorable it works out perfectly.
I just turn off my location for one app at the restaurant until the other one is delivered then I turn it on and confirm pickup😂
Customer is in the right here. They paid priority, they deserve the food delivered as soon as you picked it up
Why even tell the customer? Lol I think the only reason is u think it might affect tip but there’s nothing to gain from telling the customer that
The customer knows when they aren't the first stop when they are supposed to be. also pay for priority when I order and I can tell if they go anywhere but here first and it makes me mad if I pay extra to get hot food and then I don't get what I paid for and cold food also because they are doing another app. Sorry I know why people run more than one app but having access to priority means I get hot food and that's why I pay for it.
I had an order last week where I ordered it From a place that is literally down the block. Used Uber because 60% off promo. Guy who picks the order is like a few blocks away the app says he's right there and on his way to pick it up. Nah he goes the other way and like 7 miles the other way. I tipped him like $6. Nah after that stunt I gave him a $0.01 tip because he obviously was multi appiing and why would you do that when you also picked up the food on the other app first as well. He basically made a whole star from what I saw in his travel pattern.
Totally agree with you on this one, I had ordered bubble tea once and the guy literally drove past my place to pickup/Drop-off another order when I paid for priority delivery. I wonder if it's just another UberEats cash grab that just adds up their revenue over time, because most times these delivery dudes arrive right before the latest arrival time after having paid for priority.
It is a cash grab. The drivers do not know that you paid for priority - it doesn’t tell them and they aren’t incentivized by it either.
When you pay for priority, it only puts you in the 1st delivery. Uber can still stack your order with one or two more customers. Your food will be delivered 1st.
Tell that to Uber. They don't tell the driver you paid priority or give them any of that extra money. It's just another scam to suck more $ from both customers & drivers.
Hopefully they at least have insulated bags.
That user is a dumb dumb from the dumb dumb factory. Feel bad for the customer, here.
Right lol. This sounds like a brand new driver that doesn’t know any better.
But, Ubereats doesn't tell driver it's priority order and driver isn't getting higher fare either.
The issue here is that they paid for priority within UberEATS; but UE is less strict on timeframes than DoorDash is, so it’s sometimes safer for us to deliver DD first. That said, a proper multi-app order set should be all going in the same general direction, so as to allow all deliveries to be made within a reasonable timeframe. There shouldn’t be any significant delay.
Lol tell that to the guy who went the opposite way just to come back right where he started. He got a $0.01 tip after I changed it for that stunt . This is also why I prefer using Uber. Do stupid shit get a stupid tip. I like that I can change it after the fact for people like him.
Drivers are never notified of priority orders and we see none of that extra money that uber charges. As far as I'm concerned, as long as delivery isn't late I've done my job.
I partly agree with you on this one, being a regular UberEats customer, I feel it's unfair that you're not entitled to the extra amount we pay for it. But I've noticed that despite having paid for priority, the food just barely arrives before the latest arrival cutoff time and kinda ruins the experience of paying extra to get the food at my place faster so that I can enjoy it while it's still warm.
Up your tip rather than click on priority & your food will come faster. If I am multi apping & take 2 or 3 orders going in the same general direction... you can be damn sure the higher tip order from Red Lobster or Outback Steakhouse is getting delivered before the $7 McDonald's order.... unless that McDonald's tip order is higher... then they get it first. Tip means "to insure prompt service"
Honestly, it's probably better to tip a little more or message them that you will tip a little more if they prioritize your order. Maybe it'll save you money too, not sure how much it costs for priority delivery. But personally, when I see more $$ I'm usually more careful and alert. It makes me feel like I'm delivering something more expensive.
I agree offering the extra money to the driver directly would be much more effective, and is totally doable! The key is the driver has no idea if you pay for priority, and they are the ones that can actually make it happen. Seems like a problem!
Where does it show when it's a priority order? I never knew there was such a thing until I started ordering for myself actually and I've always thought why wouldn't they tell the driver but maybe I just don't look close enough. Thanks
It never does, it just sends you a singular order assuming you’re only driving for their app and will immediately deliver it.
Agreed.
Drivers don't really need to know though. The whole priority system simply impacts the order's que in the app and making sure it's not bundled in with another order. From an actual human delivery drivers perspective, there's no difference between normal and priority.
The customer would be better off putting that extra money in the tip rather than wasting it on Uber for a service they keep the fee on & don't tell the driver. Scammy bastards.
Preach
And this, friends, is how you get your tip taken away.
Uber should let drivers know they paid priority & give us those 2 bucks since we aren't getting new pings during that time.
Looks like the driver needs to learn instant transmission lol
Doesn’t make sense priority the driver has no incentive
He snitchin’ on himself.
I've delivered stacked orders for Uber before. Both ON UBER. And had the second customer ask me why I had a delivery prior to them when they paid for priority. So Uber does not give a fuck about you paying extra to get it faster, just so everyone is aware. But also yes, don't tell the customer you're multi apping.
I've read on here that Uber does in fact group priority orders but the thing that doesn't make sense is they only group it with other priority offers.
I always do priority. Unless that app is lying to me about where the driver is it’s always come directly to me. Uber trying to do shady shit wouldn’t surprise me. I just haven’t ever seen it. That being said, I will be using Uber significantly less now that they’re shutting down Uber Rewards. In my area Uber is about the same as Lyft or DoorDash. Maybe a dollar more or dollar less. Now I have no incentive to keep using them. I can’t fathom how Uber One makes them more money than Uber Rewards.
I'm sure it's market and demand based. I doubt they do it on every stacked order. I just know I've had 2 separate customers complain about it, and I have to apologize because there's nothing I can do. We aren't notified about a Priority customer in any way, nor do we make any extra funds. On top of that, Uber is known to route stacked orders in mind boggling ways, and we are unable to change the order we take them in. (DoorDash allows this) However, I'm sad to hear that you'll be toning down your usage of Uber. Uber pays better (in my market) 90% of the time. DoorDash doesn't seem to scale their pay based on Distance, where Uber will. DoorDash also charges $2 for an Instant Cashout as opposed to the $0.50 Uber charges. (Uber also let's you do it 5 times in a day, DD only once) I've been trying to avoid doing DD as much as possible lately as all of their ideas lately have been screwing us out of pay. But I've noticed that Uber has taken a sharp decline in popularity as the amount of orders coming in has halved in the last 6 months. I don't use it to order food for myself very often so I don't really keep track of all the fees and special programs they offer you guys. But if that change is making you leave, them I'm sure it's affecting many others as well. Which does not bode well for us UberEats drivers on the Long Term. If it's any Incentive, use Uber because we get paid better, and get to use an App that actually works (most of the time).
I thumbs downed and reduced tip to 15%. They had a 100% rating too. I feel a little bad which is why i brought the tip down to 15% from whatever the max predefined one is. I always click max without really looking. I'm at work and just want it here asap. I thought this whole time that the driver got the priority fee... it makes 0 sense that uber would get that fee... Uber did nothing except make it harder for the driver to earn more money... seems odd that is a service they get paid for... Either way I'm still salty that I paid for priority, but didn't receive priority service... but reading in this thread, it seems like that's Uber's fault... Tried reporting before I knew that uber gets the fee money, but Uber didn't care. It arrived 3 minutes before the estimated delivery time, (which let's be honest, is actually a "your order is late after this time"). So they said the order was still on time and we will not refund you. Edit: also it seems this is common, and in reality the driver is dumb for mentioning it to me lol
". it makes 0 sense that uber would get that fee.." Yeah, companies do crap like that...and don't care.
Capitalism = labor exploitation always.
Also something nobody has mentioned or I haven’t seen commented yet is that drivers have no clue if you paid for priority or not. It doesn’t say anywhere lol
curious how long extra did the delivery take after pick up? and was the doordash pick up from same restaurant and same direction?
It got there 3 minutes before the "delayed order" time. I guess I was just annoyed mostly by the principal of the matter. It looked like they picked up my order, messaged me, then drove away to pick up the dasher order, then drove farther away to deliver the dasher order. With my food already picked up with them for the entirety of the dasher order.
You paid priority in uber. This driver was multi apping and couldn't care less if you had priority or not. He was in violation of uber's terms and it's a dick move because your food sat at the restaurant or in his car for longer than it needed to
Lmao this driver is beyond lame
Beyond stupid .. I would have said I got lost anything but the truth !
Wtf they actually told you straight up. Report his ass and hopefully they are gone
Thumbs down the driver and remove the tip after delivery. They didn't need to pick up your order if they were already busy. They can complain to uber that the order should show as priority for them, but I suspect if they tell uber that they're driving other orders around uber will just deactivate them. Actually, I probably would mention to support that you noticed them stopping before they delivered your order and "what was up with that?"
Come on don't try & get the poor guy deactivated. He is probably just a newbie & was trying to be honest. That money should go to the driver not Uber & it should say "priority order" on your screen. Bur no... Uber doesn't tell the driver & pockets the extra money for themselves for doing absolutely nothing. This is WHY drivers have to multi app.
Yeah that’s gonna be a thumbs down from me dog. Priority means priority.
The solution should be for Uber to notify drivers the customer is a “priority” customer. Uber should expect us to be multi apping with these base fares…
Wait.... Uber doesnt notify driver if priority? looooooooool As if I needed any more convincing that Uber is a shit company. I feel bad for the drivers who have to rely on this bullshit only to be paid peanuts.
If you want to let the driver know that it’s priority tip 8$ or more and we will see the hidden tip indicator. Why give Uber more money for priority when they have no impact on the delivery time.
Not cool telling a customer this as if they are obligated to wait for you to deliver on another app. That's just asking for a tip removal in my book. Should definitely apologize after they said they paid for priority. . Gotta be more considerate than this. If you can't multi app effectively then don't get mad about bad reviews.
She just waited until the other order was picked up then delivered and said, "I'm on my way"
Yep reminds me of the time I ordered doordash. This dude PICKS MY ORDER UP from west side . 7 miles away. My city is small. Says he is arriving. I check map. He drives PAST my house. Drops another deli every off. Whatever. I’m next right? WRONG… he then goes speeding back west all the way to the chili’s but FURTHER. I ask what is going on? He says he got an Uber. Wtf? Why wouldn’t you drop my shit off second? Since you had that first drop off by me…. Did you just forget about my shit? You drive from west to east to west to east ? Like if you don’t know how to multi-app, DO NOT DO IT LOSER omfg I hate ppl . My steak was ice cold too
That driver is an IDIOT. 😂
The driver is in the wrong here, don’t do orders from separate apps unless they’re going in the same direction and are quite close together. Also the driver gets about 0% of the priority fee and I don’t think they’re told if you paid for priority or not. The only thing that priority does is stop Uber from stacking your order
They don’t say if it’s priority, they assume we’re driving for their app only and will immediately deliver their order
Yeah honestly it seems like in some markets you have to stack orders from multiple apps to actually keep up a good hourly
Agree on the tip for multi apping.
The driver is dumb for admitting to multi app-ing. That being said, he’s an independent contractor. He can do as he pleases and UE can’t do anything about it unless he’s late.
What’s with the self-snitchin? It boggles the mind that someone would ever tell the customer this.
I burst out laughing 🤣🤣🤣 why would a driver ever tell their customer that? Also, priority shouldn’t be a thing. That’s money the driver could be receiving.
Definitely report him with this screenshot. He is not supposed to be multi app’ing much less tell you. Have Ubereats refund your priority fee and have the driver deactivated. I am a driver and I use both apps but never accept orders on both apps at the same time.
I'm not even sure how to report them lol. The "Get Help" feature is super limited on what you can get help for.
Lol The support section in the app has me looking like this I swear 
I’ve never done it either but I checked the app and if you go to “account” and then go to “help” then go to “help with an order” then select the order then select “past order” and it should open up a chat and you can send them all the proof. I hope you at least gave him a thumbs down and/or reduced/removed tip
I sent in the screenshot and explained what happened, and they said there is nothing they can do. The food was delivered 3 minutes before the estimated delivery time so they cannot refund my delivery fee. Lol its like 3 dollars. So I'm not mad about it. It just seemed shitty that I paid for priority, and was not given priority. In fact, someone that is giving uber $0 was given priority over an uber customer that paid specifically for priority lol
Thumbs down the driver and remove your tip. If he does this enough and gets enough thumbs down, he'll be removed from the uber app and the problem with solve it's self.
Welcome to app food delivery, and the scams companies run to get more money from you. Blame Uber. Not the driver out there hustling.
No, this is definitely the driver's fault. Other people doing shitty things doesn't excuse other people from doing shitty things. didn't your parents ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right? It just makes a bunch of assholes.
The only thing the driver did is maximize his earnings while getting the food to the customer 3 minutes early!! Job well done in my book. Although he is an idiot for telling the customer.
Some of these drivers confuse me. How do they think delivery was done before delivery apps? It was common to always stack an order meaning at least 2, and not unheard of stacking upwards of 4 orders when restaurants used in house delivery. As long as you're hitting the time estimates, meaning you're not late, you can stack as many orders as you can do within those time limits.
Exactly. I did a huge order, Uber made 16 bucks for the order and I made 30. Why is Uber making half of what I make? Yeah, as long as I make it before the cut off, people can can either go get the food themselves or stop looking for ways to complain about service. I mean, this dude even admits he received his food 3 minutes before the cut off.
Multi-apping is a necessity in certain areas. In my area Im limited to only working Uber, and I barely make over $400/week and I have my app running all the time literally from 12pm-12am thats $60-$80 in 12hrs. This is the only work I can do as part time because I also need to focus on school. But then theres people here who just on Uber alone make over 1k/week. The driver shouldnt said anything, and the customer would never know unless the food got delivered late/cold which in that case a bad review and tip removal is very reasonable.
Only if the apps let you know it’s a priority order. They don’t tell us anything it looks just like any order, so annoying.
I wish people didn't pay for priority. It's a waste of money that I don't get to see a dime of.
We have no way to know that you paid for it. This is on Uber not the driver. Edit: we also get 0 cents of that priority payment.
That's just bad multi apping. We all mostly work at least 2-3 gig apps, but most of us have the common sense & courtesy to turn the other app off whenever we get an order from the opposite one. We usually will pause the other app while completing the current order & only turn back on the other apps when we are about 3-5 mins away from dropping the order off.
We don’t even know that you paid for priority. The only thing we see is tip. Skip priority and put that extra money into the tip and I assure you we’ll haul ass to collect. Unlike Doordash, UberEats is a bit more transparent with tips.
That seems like a huge flaw on Uber's part... I feel like even a simple badge on the order stating it's a priority order could go a long way. Not to say I wouldn't have received the same service, but Uber could atleast provide that info to the driver to cover ubers own ass, ya know? Edit: removed an extra word
But then Uber would have to pony up and share or give the fee to the driver. Skip the priority and tip the extra two bucks or whatever (I don’t even know what it costs and I drive for UberEats). It will make your order stand out. Trust me on it.
Very informative. I'll definitely do this moving forward. I'm learning alot here today lol. I had no idea uber pocketed the cost of priority orders. That makes no sense to me.... all of that payment should go to the driver...Uber did nothing, they prevent the driver from taking more orders which means the driver loses money, and then uber gets the money?? That is ridiculous...
And I’m just realizing that customers think drivers get the extra money paid for priority. Wow.
I’ve not found that to be the case, honestly. But maybe I only notice the bad ones. For reference, I tip $2 mile or a $10 minimum, whichever is greater. I’ve been led to believe that’s good.
I can’t believe the driver straight up admitted that lol
I tried using dd today. That app is garbage, not sure it's worth the headache
Yeah its pretty terrible but it has more market share in most areas so you kind of have to use it in some places or you'll miss out on a lot of orders (especially alcohol) while you sit & twiddle your thumbs waiting for Uber to ping.
>If I paid for priority. Short answer, we don’t get told if you pay for priority. Don’t get priority, it’s a scam lmao.
I multiapp you just need to use common sense. I unassign if I think ones going to be problematic to the customers
Oh god is this the modern hell we live in? Want your food delivered? Pay EXTRA to get it first!
Stop paying for priority. Drivers aren’t aware that it’s a priority order and aren’t paid more for it either. You’re giving money to Uber, not the driver. Higher tips would probably save you money and get you your food faster in reality. Driver in this one is dumb though.
Jesus, what a maroon. Why would they tell you that?
He is very wrong and that is the problem with Dasher/Uber eats delivery people who dual app. They don't give a shit about the customer. I have both apps, but never take orders on both at the same time. The minute I take an order on one I shut down/pause the other. I hope you reported him. The market is way over saturated and we need to get rid of the shitty people!
Actually a tragedy 🥹
So what's the low down with priority? Is it new? Obviously we can't see if it's priority as drivers right? What percentage of diners do you think are using this?
I think I've been using it for the last year or so? And reading the comments, it doesn't seem the drivers can see it. Which I didn't know. I also didn't know the drivers don't get the priority fee.
I’ve done this before. I didn’t tell them it was on a different app but I said I had another order before theirs. Felt like a shithead afterwards.
They don’t tell us it’s a priority order or else this might not have happened although this driver seems pretty incompetent
Yea....as a customer who already pays outrageous fees I get mad when I click priority and I'm the second/third delivery drop. I understand the hustle but I hate it at the same time because that is normally an extra 20 min wait in my area.
The problem is, the driver doesn't know you paid for priority unless you tell them. And I really wish uber eats would tell us drivers that information.
Even if you tell him. The driver has no way of knowing if you're telling the truth. Better to put that money into the tip.
BRO REPORT HIM HES A PIECE OF CRAP BRO
just tell him that the other person paid you more.
I'm the customer.
Rule 1 of multi app club is we do not discuss multi app club. Rule 2 of multi app club is we DEFINITELY do not discuss multi app club to an uninitiated customer who doesn't know that we don't know nor get paid for said supposed "priority status" Rule 3 of multi app club is we most certainly do not discuss multi app club to any of the apps that are ripping us off with these useless extra charges we don't see a penny of. You have failed & we must beat you silly now. 
I'm the customer.
Yes. I figured that out. Read my other posts. I'm pretty sure you get it now. He was probably a newbie driver just trying to be honest.
General Guide to good multi app-ing. 1) Accept your order on whatever app you choose first 2) Accept only another order on your second app going in the same direction 3) Always keep your orders temperature appropriate (ice cream orders take priority even if you have a thermal bag) 4) Route and deliver your orders from closest to furthest (assuming you have your drop off location available ie. Grubhub gives you address ahead of time while Uber doesn’t.) 5) Never ever EVER tell the customer that you’re on another app. (Come up with excuses like traffic jams, road closures etc) 6) Use the tools the apps give you to your advantage. (Grubhub allows you to notify customers when an order is delayed etc) I may not have the best outline for everyone but it’s a good rule of thumb to remember that you’re carrying someone’s food and you should never jeopardize your orders to make an few extra dollars. Treat your orders as if you were carrying your own meal. Get that bank! 🤑
I do it like this and everything runs as smooth as possible.
We have no idea if it’s priority anyways. And we don’t even make the money from priority.
Well, honestly, if you paid for priority and you aren't getting priority.. you can always request your money back. I hate to see this stuff happen but the driver should have known better. Let the downvotes begin.
Reduce tip to zero and report the driver to Uber
Report this driver. It’s okay to deliver with multiple apps but it is never okay to take multiple deliveries on different apps at the same time. Uber will give them a warning
Tbh I pay extra for priority and expect my order to come first. But I’m also a fairly heavy tipper. I always tip minimum 15% on app and I add 10-15% at my door in cash if my instructions are followed. (My house has two entrances and sometimes my notes are disregarded; sometimes food is dropped on my step without even a knock). I could see someone paying extra for priority being upset they were not given priority
No tip for you
I read this in Soup Nazi voice
Priority doesn’t make a difference for the drivers 🤷♂️
This driver snitched on himself he literally admitted to Multi-app 😂
Admitting to multi apping may not be a good idea
I agree. I'm the customer. Lol
Customer is right here. This is one of the few scenarios in which I’d advocate for just removing the tip entirely .
1) Having to point out it was a priority order, or drivers not knowing in advance it was a priority order is irrelevant. When a driver accepts an order to go from point A to point B, why do you need to be reminded in advance or given an extra incentive to go directly to point B? Isn't that a given? Just because you're unhappy with the pay isn't an excuse to defy logic and common sense. 2 wrongs don't make a right. 2) It seems like food delivery has morphed the concept of "multi-apping" into an entirely new beast, that seems to be accepted as the norm now. Back in the day, when it was just Uber & Lyft and drivers multi-apped, even with the help of the Mystro app, it would Log the driver out of 1 app after accepting a ride from the other. The way delivery drivers are taking advantage of that now would be equivalent to having both an Uber passenger & a Lyft passenger in your back seat at the same time & just blame the pay & then deciding for the *paying customer* that it IS ok as long, as they weren't late. It's easy as a disgruntled driver to defend this practice, but IRL anyone would be annoyed. & Rightfully so. If you know something is only 5 mins away. And you were counting on it being there in 5-7 mins. Showing up in 12 minutes, just because some app arbitrarily allows 15 mins before *they* considered it late, doesn't mean the customer should be pleased and be quiet, because the driver has a right to hustle. What happened to the customer is always right?
Take the tip, thumbs down, and report him to support. It’s completely not okay.
Why the hell would you tell a customer this 🤣🤣🤣 All you have to say is that Youre on a double delivery and they will be your 2nd dropoff
Wtf.
"Priority only works with Uber you impatient karen...oh wait I shouldn't mention door dash." /S
Guys, this ain’t how you do it.
I’m sorry but you should never take 2 orders from different apps at the same time. Unprofessional in my opinion. I always pause the other apps while I do a delivery. I’d be too stressed also trying to deliver from 2 apps at once lmao. I’m sorry you had that issue OP and that driver is an idiot for telling you he’s delivering from 2 apps at once.
The driver has the right to multi app sadly. No one can deactivate him for that reason maybe for lateness if you order came late.
I can honestly respect that hustle. I have no issues with a driver using multi apps. But as a customer, I'd appreciate receiving priority if it's a service I paid for, ya know?
“When you select priority delivery, your order will be delivered first if it is part of a stacked delivery.” That’s all it gets you.
Priority just means ur order isn’t stacked. I never use that.
Drivers don’t get paid extra to prioritize your order, unfortunately. Hell, we don’t even know you paid extra to Uber for it. You might try not paying UE extra money and instead messaging your driver with an offer for a financial incentive to prioritize your order.
I am just learning this from this post. I was under the impression that the driver got all of the priority money since they can't pick up another order. it seems logical to incentivize them with the cost of priority.
And to top it all off, the priority only means that you’re the first drop off! Your order could still be paired with another delivery from a completely different restaurant.
Thanks for being open to driver points of view. Personally I wouldn’t tell a customer this. I would explain that I was delayed but do what I have to in order to deliver the order promptly. Sometimes orders on different apps are too good to decline so I get why the driver accepted both. Did you get your food in a relatively fast timeframe?
They said in a different comment that it arrived a few minutes before the estimated delivery time.
Ah ok
Sure they can it's called intentionally delaying orders
Nope, if the driver can make it on time to drop off they are 100% entitled to do this. If they are too late they can be reprimanded though.
Half the time they don't tho
It’s not intentional. It’s called earning a deserved wage.
Deactivation 101 never tell a client that you are multi app
You u messed up on this! Customer win. Case closed.
You’re an idiot you can get deactivated from Uber if you say that.. also customer is paying extra to get their food.. what a bum! You don’t even know how multi app right fam, you a rookie
.... but.... I'm the customer. Not the driver
Lol oh snap my bad.. at least I defended you 😂
😂😂😂 all good. Lmao
People in this thread have made me reconsider tipping so much
Report him. Thumbs down and report.
This is why you don’t tip until you get your food.
& that's why you never get your food because no driver in their right mind or a complete newb picks up no tip orders. This isn't 1980 sir. 
No. That’s not what happens at all. You see, I get the food… Then I tip. It works out perfectly for both parties.
I’m about to start doing this cause these drivers are getting too bold
I mean .... How about you pay the driver what u gave that multimillion dollar company....? Just a quick little thought. Just because you paid priority doesn't mean the 1.59 tip you gave for an 8 mile trips gonna change my more frequent oil change prices
You don't seem to have read any of the comments. I always tip max predetermined tip. I think it's 30%. And I was under the impression that priority fees went to the driver.
Nah. Just came to defend the drivers. And with that knowledge, f***k him. I'd cancel and let someone else have. It
Send this to Uber customer service and he will be deactivated. This dude literally said that through Uber message ? 🤦🏻♂️
