Uber eats drivers have been sitting in front of my apartment after arriving for long periods of 30 minutes or so. Do you they do this on purpose to get more mileage from Uber eats by increasing time to deliver. Doesn’t make sense to me but I could not think of a valid reason to sit in your right in front of destination for 30 straight minutes

  • Some wait for rides. Some wait for orders instead of driving around. Their pay I think is fixed for the route.

    “Uber eats drivers” - like I knew the gig economy sucks but cannibalism is a bit far even for Uber

      OP
      I wouldn’t mind if they waited after giving me the food but they wait for thirty minutes there with my food in their car

    i once ordered a pizza on one of these app.

    10min later i noticed my spot light kept flashing so i opened the door and to my surprise their was a delivery driver sitting on the steps using their phone watching a video.

    I was like wow so fast, he was like i have nothing for you. some back and forth and lots of confusion i realised what they where doing.

    anyways.. they asked if they could sit for a bit. i told them it’s a bit weird and declined.
