it was pretty busy during this time and there were 2 other delivery drivers that came after me so i was basically waiting a little longer for my order due to me accepting 2 minutes away

conversation ensues with 1 of the other uber eats drivers and a few minutes in out of the blue he tells me not to fill any drinks and to make them do it if i am given an empty cup

before i tell you exactly what happened after, i want to give everyone my mindset about fatburger so be warned:

fatburger is the only place that i have come across on uber eats that have asked me to fill the drink, this is the one on wilshire and vermont for anyone familiar with the los angeles area. I've got another story for you for the one on wilshire/highland about a "canceled" order for anyone that cares but i'm telling you that fatburger doesn't seem to like uber drivers but i'm a cool and understanding type of guy so i diffuse the stigma of uber because many people can tell that i'm cool after getting used to me.

i wanna tell you guys that i like uber eats a lot because you don't need a stupid credit card to possibly pay for the order upon accepting delivery. You can cancel the delivery request upon realizing that after driving 10-15 minutes to the mcdonalds etc, they haven't pulled up the order upon arriving. I mean another weapon i can't wait to use is the 15 minute thing after arrival, nothing has happened and then calling into uber eats about me waiting too long, getting an extra 5 bucks, hope this is real so we'll see.

Guys my opinion is that places like fatburger is rare on uber eats, on which the restaurant asks you to do the drinks yourself, hell the fatburger on crenshaw/slauson here in los angeles don't play that but of course i understand why. You know what i'm ok with doing the drinks because sooner or later, there's going to be a lawsuit: uber eats vs fatburger and then what you think is going to happen?

all of us uber eats drivers are going to be required to get a health card and restaurants are going to start having their own stations where all the delivery app drivers will start having to do their own french fries and popcorn, NEVERMIND the fountain drinks, UH NO THANK YOU.

I KID YOU GUYS NOT, i've been on postmates where i go to a really nice fancy expensive restaurant, i order the food, i gotta call the customer about the prices because they don't match, and then i pay with my postmates card, the cooking takes like 30 minutes, then i drive like another 30 minutes because the traffic is so bad, it's a hotel, i have to go to the 38th floor, the valet guy barely lets me park the car in front, tells me to the leave the keys in the ignition, i come back, nobody is there, car could have gotten stolen easily, and then a few days later i realize no tip is left for that stupid order, HELL TO THE MF'in NO

and so back to uber eats, i like it a lot, it's very straight forward nothing is perfect like this guy on saturday asking me to be part of a lawsuit and all that i'm like hey buddy good luck but i'm going to fill this fountain drink, fatburger is the only place that tells me to do the stuff about the drinks but i don't even like buzzing myself into apartments here in los angeles, i thought it was curbside pickup? Either way i'm not going to fight fatburger or the rich people with special instructions because i don't have any money to fight them, and if i did, i would not be on uber eats

Why accept the order on fatburger if you don't like them? why are you there on uber eats on the damn premises if there's a lawsuit? in my mind, i'm like DON'T BOTHER ME

Anyways it was short and sweet as to what i did after the guy told me not to fill any drinks, but i basically said "GO EFF YOURSELF B***H" without much explanation

 

[Bpr2]

It’s against healthcode and ubereats tos for both driver and the restaurant for the driver to prepare any part of the order.

Fatburger knows this. It’s THEIR Job to prepare all aspects of the order. We just pick up and deliver.

You fill the drink and the customer complains about it tasting funny or getting sick after having the drink? “Oh the driver prepped the drink.” Guess what, you’re now fked.

Fatburger can go **** their self centered selves.

Oh, and it’s drivers that cave to the staffs pressure that makes them think it’s okay to be assholes to the drivers that tell them no.

The driver that suggested you don’t was only looking out for you since you’re now liable since you prepped the drink.

I never call about pricing. I just pay. I do various apps and I just pay when it's not prepaid and let them figure it out. No one has ever said anything.

You really need to learn to stand up for yourself one of my last jobs I never fought back at the bosses for the crap the pushed on me another employee did, I thought being a good little quiet worker I would be more valuable and respected well it's quite the opposite I never fought back and I ended up getting fired the other fellow who always fought management he is now a supervisor at that company. You have to grow a spine and often times people know they are taking advantage of you they know they are doing you wrong and abusing you. So they are testing you and waiting for your reaction, you either wither away and lose all their respect or stand up and fought your self respect and your dignity.

I never call about pricing. I just pay. I do various apps and I just pay when it's not prepaid and let them figure it out. No one has ever said anything.

one of the ways to cross check on items that you need to order or put in the shopping basket is the price of it

for example, the prices on the app for the items being ordered on postmates are like 50% more, what happens if you order the wrong items?

another example, app shows to order 3 pizzas, but 2 of them are no longer available for whatever reason. are you not going to call the customer about these things?

your response makes it seem that you don't want to call or go back and forth with people but at these examples that i have pointed out, you definitely have to do so in postmates.

my opinion is that when your account is being looked at to be deactivated and they see these type of things over a period of say 1 year or so, you will not be told the reason why because you don't know any better.

i'm telling you that little things like this count in the long run so you have to have common sense and you have to know how to deal with people.

so you're just going to go ahead and pay for the 1 pizza while omitting the other 2 without saying anything? you're going to make them do another order and pay another delivery fee? You're going to make them call postmates and then make postmates do the adjustments without charging them another delivery fee for adding 2 other pizzas that they do have? All that could have been avoided by touching base and that's what you have to do in the customer service industry.

so the prices don't match and you're just going to go ahead and pay it? keep quiet? i would suggest to look at the postmates timeline for the customer service department. Look at all the people complaining about how they were double charged and all that. This might have been simply avoided by calling the customer and telling them about the price difference why? well for one restaurants have different prices for the same items on lunch and dinner separately. So in other words an expensive restaurant would make sense to have double the prices for dinner, but what if the order happened between lunch and dinner? what time do certain prices kick in?

now you can see why i don't like doing postmates because on uber eats i never have to worry about calling the customer prior to paying for it plus you have to wait after you pay and all that.

You really need to learn to stand up for yourself one of my last jobs I never fought back at the bosses for the crap the pushed on me another employee did, I thought being a good little quiet worker I would be more valuable and respected well it's quite the opposite I never fought back and I ended up getting fired the other fellow who always fought management he is now a supervisor at that company.

fatburger has a lot of money and lawyers ready to fight for them off any possible lawsuit. The only way to have a shot at beating fatburger is to have the money to match them in the court of law. A lot of people think that lawsuits are free but it's not. The only reason why it might seem "free" is because somebody or team feels confident to front up a certain amount of money for a client in order to have a chance to win. In other words, i know that these labor boards are in cahoots with these big businesses and i'm not going to fight that.

It is also my opinion that uber and fatburger are in cahoots with each other because if they weren't, they would have stopped making us do the drinks by now.

any customer can complain to uber about the drinks being poisoned and the food too because there are many many restaurants that don't seal the food containers up making it easy to pick at some of the french fries and what not.

i refuse to make this fatburger thing personal even though i would rather not fill the drinks myself just like i would rather not go on postmates and use the card to pay for items. But i make an exception for this fatburger foutain drinks situation because i have not come across any other place on uber eats like this 1 unique situation.

Guys, i know the system and i've realized a lot of things about life. There are so many instances where people break the law but nothing happens because there's not going to be any money in the end for all parties involved. Is fatburger breaking the law by making us do the drinks? i would say so because we don't have a food handlers permit but i'm not really sure how it goes for the state of california, i'm only guessing.

As i mentioned what can basically happen out of all this? Am i going to be sued for poisoning the drinks? what money are they going to be getting out of me? obviously i have no money to give up in a lawsuit otherwise i would be rich enough not to even care about doing uber eats.

I know a lot of you want to try and stand up for yourself and not get bullied around by these big companies but i'm just a spoke on a wheel. i know there are systems in place and these machines have a lot of money invested in running them and protecting them with all these lawyers that makes it hard to win.

Don't get me wrong, some of these lawsuits end up winning but i don't care to sign off on anything with fatburger at this point and go to court against them. Instead i'll keep filling the drinks and if something else comes up, i just won't accept any more pickups from them, that's all.

 

[Bpr2]

Forcing you to make the drinks HOW exactly? Tell them they need to and you’re not allowed to due to uber rules and if they try *****ing at you more keep whatever spine you have and hold firm or just keep making it more difficult for those of us that don’t bow down to their whims. Even then, if they continue, just walk off and cancel.

 

[Joesmith2012]

If you make the drinks you are putting yourself at risk for bad consequences, if a customer gets sick or finds a hair in the drink guess who they are going after, uber will say we don't let drivers make drinks, the city food inspectors will ask you where is your certification to prepare food and drinks, do you have training to prepare food? It's just not something you want to be risking when all you need to say is no

and lets say i put hair in the customers drink, why would they go after me when i'm the one on uber eats?

people keep focusing on me doing the drinks when i point out unsealed containers

yes i know mcdonalds has those stickers that seals up the bag but what about the other places?

how about if they accuse me of putting hair in the fried rice when the foam container doesn't have a seal to it in the first place?

where will be the proof in the court of law that i'm the one that poisoned the drink?

where will be the proof that i tampered with the food and got them sick?

fatburger is offering free delivery this week in the app people, check it out if they tell me to do the drinks i'm doing it, sorry i need the money guys

There are cameras in every restaurant now, they will have you on camera filling a drink, the customer gets food poisoning they will come looking for your food prep cert

There are cameras in every restaurant now, they will have you on camera filling a drink, the customer gets food poisoning they will come looking for your food prep cert

and the camera is going to show that fatburger gave me the empty cup

who do you think has more money for suing purposes? fatburger or me the uber eats driver?

oj simpson got sued and lost by the goldmans, how much money has the goldmans been able to get off the lawsuit win?

guys, personal arguments will never stand up in the court of law

you gotta think about the money, you gotta follow it

suing an uber eats driver is an oxymoron due to how poor we are

it's not like we steal all the cups at fatburger to make the drinks for the customers, it's all common sense

these kinds of things are so easy to think about ahead of time plus you experience it and then you wanna fight uber and places like fatburger?

how in the world is fatburger offering free delivery this week when some of their places have us fill the drinks?

wouldn't you think fatburger would be off the apps if things were so bad about the drivers filling the drinks?

come on guys, put your thinking caps on, think about the long run, how would us poor drivers ever be able to beat fatburger and uber?

worst case scenario is that uber eats drivers lose and now we can't be on the app unless we get a health card

Dear lord no one cares about law suits, Jesus Christ, and the worst case scenario is uber see the video and sees you violating uber policy and you will be deactivated. Uber will not force delivery drivers to have food prep training because they want nothing to do with that aspect, they want to do the minimum.

what about the uber policy that we are to drop off the food via curbside pickup instead of going up to their door?

isn't the policy curbside pickup and in violation of uber policy by knocking on their door?

by the way EVERYONE cares about lawsuits, if someone hit a big one in this forum i guarantee you that they would never fathom to be on uber eats again

how can an uber eats driver be seen as violating the policy when fatburger hides the empty drink cups behind their counters?

where does it say that when an establishment offers us to make the drinks that we are to say no and make them do it? why would a big place like fatburger keep making us do the drinks? so they can kick us out of the restaurant and allow someone else to do the order?

if you don't want to do fatburger drinks anymore that's fine but you won't be able to do anything about it other than cancel it.

you wanna get fatburger off the uber eats platform for making us do the drinks and then causing problems by saying no because we don't have any health cards?

welp like i said fatburger is still on the platform and offering free delivery this week so obviously something doesn't make any sense

 

[Uber00]

There is 1 place that makes the drivers fill the drinks because the soda machine is in the dining area and the workers would have to come around to the other side of the counter and fill it.

I called the town health inspector and explained everything he was laughing and said he would pay them a visit later that day.

My rating went from 95% to 85% in just an hour. The manager knew it was me and went back to all.my trip deliveries and down voted me .

I contacted Uber and they said they were only seeing 95% rating and not too worry. I sent screenshot of everything they didn't see the 85% on their end. I was never deactivated and my rating eventually made its way back to 100% a week or so later from good ratings working a different area.

I hear they still make drivers fill the drinks there. I'm waiting for a day when I have nothing to do I will go camp out by the restaurant and wait for the ping. I will go inside and demand they make the drink just to mess with them.. then once the food is ready I will say "fook you beetches" and cancel , laugh and walk off. Let the food get cold so they have to remake it. And so I can't get rated

Ubereats needs to be bottle drinks only. It's a joke the size of some of these Popeyes drinks they make us deliver they are always the biggest pain.

i like your story because i'm a fan of conor mcgregor and ny/nj culture

it's one thing to share experiences on here and offer suggestions but to flat i tell people not to do this and that is a little something else

i mentioned about the labor board being in cahoots with these big companies and let me tell you these county health inspectors have got to be rigged too as far as uber goes because uber needed to get their license passed with the city/county/state governments in the first place right?

the more i think about everything, these food delivery apps are a total loophole in so many ways because honestly we should all be getting health cards

panda express as another example usually has the customers get their own utensils but on uber eats, they always have it ready in the bag here, might we have to start making sure all of our orders have napkins inside and all that?

nice try by the restaurant to try and mess up your rating but it's very sad that things can sometimes be rigged and corrupt. Customers sure in the hell can be a pain, lying on purpose, trying to get people in trouble for their own gain but what are we? What can we do in the end?

my fellow uber eats drivers, you can pretty much do whatever you want in the end, i get all points of view, i hope you got mine

 

[WildflowerRunner]

Moe's doesn't like doing the drinks, and one of them near me was even really snarky about it. I was new, so I didn't say anything. Anyway, eventually I ended up in a Moe's where the manager handled the order and he filled the drink. I thanked him for doing that (their drink machine is a pain in the butt). He was shocked and asked if the other locations told me to fill the drink and I said yes.

Fast forward... I haven't had to fill a drink at Moe's since. I don't know what he did, but even the place where the employee was snarky about it... she had the drink ready for me yesterday.

 

[JimHFD103]

There's really only one local burger chain (one of those 'gourmet, we're not fast food' type burger places, fairly decent eating there as a customer if a bit pricey...as a UE driver their prep times sometimes drive me up the wall...it's either ready when I walk in, within 5 min....or 20 min later)

Anyways, mostly they (the chain) have stopped asking me to fill the drinks, once or twice I've had to tell them that that's not my job...last time I went there the lady *****ed at me (while she was filling up the drink) "Well all the other drivers do it". At the time I just shrugged and didn't say anything, though after the fact I realized a good comeback "Every other restaurant (including the others in your chain) fill the drink, why can't you? Even McDonalds fills them...are you lazier than McD's?" I'm gonna try that next time (hopefully not soon ha) someone pulls the "All the other drivers do it" line on me

 

[rtran]

Take the cup to fill then just walk out. Tell the customer the restaurant tried to make you fill the drink but it's against health code so you just took the cup and left. Tell the customer to report the restaurant. You get paid, customer gets refund and restaurant gets fked.
