Uber scams bike messengers in NYC!
The day starts off with a text promising 10$ extra per ride from 8–11am.
Bike messengers turn on their UBER DRIVER apps at 8 am.
At approximately 8:15, every bike rider whose app was online received pings to show up at Wandering Bear coffee. I thought it was odd when I saw so many colleagues coming in to the same location for deliveries.
Turns out UBER EATS had a promotion.
They were sending free breakfasts to a specific number of lunch clients, to entice them to start using UBER for breakfast.
I was handed 2 bags and my app showed me where to take them.
At 9:13 AM, UBER Sends another text announcing that the breakfast deal was sold out?
That was a complete and utterly alternative fact.
What the messengers did not know that UBER DID KNOW, is exactly how many deliveries were going to be made. There was no honest plan to pay for 3 hours of deliveries.
NONE AT ALL. You lied to all of us.
I will never deliver for these liars again.
Oh yeah, and all you cheap ass people who order from UBER EATS when it’s pouring rain, gale force winds or snowing, you should really tip the drive.
If you have the audacity to have someone bring you an egg salad sandwich on a bagel from 2 miles away in a snowstorm, you can cough up two dollars for the freezing and soaking wet bike rider. You can.
Get a dozen eggs and a jar of mayonnaise next time, you entitled, cheap POS.
