USA Stolen

What’s going on in Atlanta today?? 😅 nearly ever other order was stolen by a driver. I figured it was too good to be true…

If it’s worth it, place the order and pay out of pocket. The other day I got an offer for $70ish from Burger King. Of course it was stolen. Told I was like the 10th driver trying to pick it up! Looked at the order details and it was just a single Whopper. Placed the order myself and delivered it. Easy $60 profit! Not the first time I’ve done it either.

I usually ask if they can remake it - if you are nice enough and have good relations with the restaurant they are usually pretty cool about it. Not that they should.., but if they agree, I can wait 15-20 mins for 50-60 bucks.

Ive tried to have many restaurants remake the food when it’s stolen, and its super rare that they’ve actually done it for me. They usually tell me that they’ll remake it, but UE needs to resend the order. If you talk to support, they tell you that they are not able to resend it. I just land up wasting more of my time.

Yeah, makes sense. I just turn on my charm, and make them feel they are doing a really good deed in life by doing so 😅. It works, not always, but works. Even Taco Bell once agreed after 10 minutes of negotiation. I made a face that I called Uber, and they can’t resent, but it’s so wrong that these stuff happens to poor people blah blah..😑
