I am convinced that these ridiculous offers we keep getting all day every day are the result of those stupid $9.99/month subscriptions. How did they come up with that amount for UNLIMITED deliveries with a minimum order of $15 (easily reachable even at McD’s)?!? Of course both base and tips declined drastically. I barely see even $1.5/mile anymore, they’re all $1/mile and below; mostly - below.

They turned what is essentially a luxury service to a bargain-basement sweatshop.

So tired of this.

A lot of us already knew it was the dash pass people. That is why I do not use DD anymore except one delivery per month to stay active. Glad you also figured it out. DD is the worst, in my opinion. I hope others see the light as well.
Hate to break it to you, but UE has the same thing. For the same price.

SURPRIZE!!! 😂

Always let the noobs take those orders.

How else are they going to learn? :ROFLMAO:
Oh, I do.

But I need to change areas. Which I really don’t want to do as I love my Regulars.

The Lakewood Kosher places completely took over UE. The only time UE is decent is at Sabbath. It’s terrible. I may quit UE only because of this and move over to DD, it’s THAT BAD. I now know every place by name, and they literally flood UE with incredibly bad, BAD offers. Hundreds of them, appearing a bazillion times directly and on TR. It’s worse than Walmart, and I’n not kidding. And no one takes them, but they keep coming and coming.

I refrained from complaining because of course there will inevitably be someone claiming I’m prejudiced, but I don’t care anymore. I call ‘em like I (endlessly) see ‘em. They’re worse then Chick eFF A. Worse than KFC. Playa Bowls are their only real competition in terms of shitty pings.

I want to quit the moment I see the first one - this means a flurry’s coming. More like an avalanche. And they flood UE so much none of my usual haunts have a chance to appear.

This is not about Jewish people. This is about kosher restaurants. I have no idea why their pings are so crappy and why there are SOOOOO MANY of them. But it’s HORRIBLE for my bottom line.

9.99 for the opportunity to get the customer to pay bit more per item and rely on volume to make money, and only pay peanuts to get delivered by you.
Uber: "Drivers will lose money on every delivery, but they can make it up on volume."

Lakewood is very Orthodox. And many people there don't use TV, internet, or smartphones. My guess is the restaurants use Uber for their phone orders. Which is why you get those pings.

I live near a more modern Orthodox neighborhood than Lakewood. And do pretty reasonable with tips in that area.
