No, we do not. This is the fate breakdown in my city. Note that Uber takes a 25% cut of that measly 11 cents, so I only earn about 8 cents per minute that I'm just sitting there. Do the math. The hourly rate is only $4.80/hr if I'm not driving. And people think they don't have to tip, so they usually do not tip.

This totally depends on where you live. When I lived in Japan, I could accomplish 99% the things I needed to do with just a bicycle, only occasionally borrowing a friend's car to buy furniture or things like that. In the majority of American cities, it's just not practical to bike, much less walk, to the grocery store.

one time i was trying to buy a pack of tortillas and a bag of chips so I went to the express lane and the first lady in line had credit card problems that took almost 5 or 6 minutes (she was trying to purchase a single box of lettuce)

>>8969079
How the fuck do you get paid so little? I had to pay like $5 for an uber to bring me maybe one full mile because I was too shitfaced to walk home.

>>8969149
Because it's a scam. Uber promises drivers 75% of "the fare," but they don't tell you that they tack on a $2 "booking fee" to every fare that riders pay, which they do not share with the drivers. For a $20 trip, it's less significant, but for short trips, especially when our wheels aren't moving, it contributes to a large part of the almost a 50% commission that Uber gets.

>>8969117
That's not a technicality, you get paid for waiting. That's fact.

>>8969165
You said it as if it was worth the driver's time to wait. Sorry, but $4.80/hr. (less in other cities) to wait is not worth it.

Smartass. If every trip were these short little trips to the grocery store where I waited 15 minutes, I would LOSE money driving for Uber, since $4.80/hr, minus tax, minus car maintenance expenses, isn't enough to pay for the gas I use while driving to pick people up.

>>8970504
>If every trip were these short little trips to the grocery store where I waited 15 minutes

Good thing you are not required to wait for people to shop and every ride isn't that way.

>>8970433
>>8970504
So... you get paid $4.80 an hour just to sit there?

This is coming from someone who gets paid 45 britbongs an hour :)

>>8970526
Granted, I make it a policy not to wait while people go into stores, but other drivers do. For example, the driver from the OP's story.

>>8970596
>So... you get paid $4.80 an hour just to sit there?
The rate to sit there is $4.80/hr. The rate to drive is 71 cents per mile. In reality, I'll usually be able to do 1-3 trips per hour and one of those trips is usually medium or high mileage to make up for any short and quick trips (minimum fare rides only pay $3, but IDEALLY, they also only take about 10 minutes to get done). During peak hours (early morning on weekdays and late nights on weekends), I can usually pull somewhere between $15-25/hr, although the majority of the time during the day, it will average out in the $10-12/hr range. It becomes a serious problem if I start waiting in grocery store parking lots for people, which, as I showed in >>8969057, results in a significant reduction in average pay per hour.

>This is coming from someone who gets paid 45 britbongs an hour :)
Uber drivers don't get paid very much, but I bet you that the costs of living are different between where we live and the skills required to do our jobs are significantly different.

>>8969079
Combine this with the fact that you need to own an 09 car or newer, if it's not paid off, you'd have to drive a shitload of people around just to cover the car payments.

If you walk 20 minutes to get your groceries, then you are unemployed.

>When I was in college, I routinely walked
Pretty much says it all.

>>8971244
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. When I'm driving, I can earn upwards of $20/hr. I have no problem taking home $100-160 in 8 hours of work, albeit, it's highly variable. It's when passengers try to abuse my time that I don't really earn any money at all.

As somebody else said, there are certain times of the week when the dregs of society come out of the woordwork thinking that Ubers are public transportation and really try to fuck me over for their own selfish benefit. It can be hard to tell a passenger - especially one of these people - "no" because they don't understand that they are not in public transportation. I drive my personal car and as long as I'm sitting in one place, even if I'm "on a trip," I'm not really earning any money.

>>8971257

Maybe it's not for you but don't act like it's unfathomable for an ordinary working person to spend 40 minutes getting some light exercise. I take longer walks just to clear my head. Maybe if you work manual labor it wouldn't make sense but some of us have to spend 8 hours a day sitting in a chair, a walk seems luxurious after that.

>>8971294
I do spend at least 40 minutes on quality exercising. I also spend some time every day reading books, socializing, making dinner, doing the dishes, doing laundry, doing yard work, and so many other things. That's why I don't have time to waste sweating in the heat walking to and from the grocery store when I could just drive there.

>>8968332

>>8971333
The $4.80 is just the rate to sit there. These short rides to the grocery store where the rider wants the driver to wait don't last an hour, though, so the payout is much less. And no, a minimum fare payout is only $3.00, sometimes less than that in different cities - even though riders might pay as much as $6 for a minimum fare.

>if you are doing 1 ride an hour you SUCK as an uber driver, you should be doing about 4-5 if you are doing minimum distance only
The driver doesn't have as much control over this as you might think. We can drive to likely places where there is more demand on average, but when Uber hires 200 new riders in your city over the course of 1 week without telling you, the amount of ride requests you get can drop off dramatically and unexpectedly, even if you previously could have expected 2-3 rides an hour in a given area. A lot has to do with the weather, too. Old cars tend to have mechanical issues on the first really cold week of the year and the first really hot week of the year. When people's cars are breaking, they need to take Ubers to and from work a lot more. I get a lot less morning and evening commuters during the spring and fall, though.

>>8971205
Imagine living such a sad life that you can't spare 20 minutes to walk to the grocery store. I pity you Anon, I really do.

>>8969057
How come the company doesn't consider time waiting on someone mid stop? You should be building up money while someone is getting groceries.

>>8971377
Stop projecting. A 20 minute walk to a grocery store isn't 20 minutes out of your day. If you think it is, then you probably have such a vague concept of time management that you put no value on your time. How pathetic of an existence do you have to lead for your time to be so worthless?

Driving to the grocery store:
-5 minutes to get there
-20 minutes inside
-5 minutes to get back
-can stock up on 4 times more food than you can carry by hand
-only have to go to the grocery store once a week (30 minutes, every 6-7 days)

Walk to the grocery store:
-20 minutes to get there
-20 minutes inside
-20 minutes to get back
-can only buy as much food as you can carry in your hands
-will have to return to the grocery store again in about 2 days because you didn't buy enough food (3 hours in a week, 6 times more time spent on this than if you'd driven)

This is why poor people stay poor. You have no concept that you are wasting at least 2.5 hours every week on chores. Time which you could instead be using to better yourself, earn money or do literally anything that you actually want to be doing.
>b-but I enjoy having a "contemplative stroll"

A few weeks ago I was in the grocery store looking at cookies, this really short guy came up near me and started looking up at the cookies on the top shelf. He spotted the ones he wanted and started jumping up in the air and trying to reach out and grab the cookies. I just watched for a bit and then he asked me to get the cookies from the top shelf for him. I grabbed a pack and handed them to him and he got a bit angry and said "not those ones, the ones next to them" so I grabbed the other ones for him and handed them to him, he grabbed them from me and thanked me with a grunt and waddled off.
I ended up buying a packet of the cookies he was so eager to get just to see what the fuss was about. Turns out they're really good.
Thanks Hobbit.

>>8971442
Reading comprehension. The $15-20/hr is only during peak times. The rest of the day is highly variable. For example, I drove for two hours yesterday and I only made $6. Tell me again how good I have it :^)

and its not cause cab companies couldn't find us, its cause they kept putting us on a list that is up in the air, so people can grab the fair if they want
instead of contacting a specific driver (cabs here are lazy af if you're too far on the outskirt of town)

Why would't you just order another uber when you were done shopping?

>>8972068
5 dollar min charge for rides usually and most ubers won't wait more than 1-2 minutes because of that. If the uber driver says no.

Most of the time if I am doing a beer run they wait since it takes me a total of 1 minute to do so at a gas station 3 blocks away.

It's completely up to the uber driver, when you reach the destination you can hit end ride.

Can you not just get your shit delivered?

>>8972084
Beer runs are a totally different story. Those are almost always men who have a lot of respect for an Uber driver's time. I don't think I've ever waited more than about 3 minutes at the very longest for a guy to go in and out of a liquor store.

Everyone in the closest grocery story uses EBT.
For their cartload of shit.

Can anyone explain why it takes so fucking long? I thought they had cards, why are people wiping out what looks like check-books? I'm not against the food stamp program, but I am against CRAWLING through a line waiting for this shit and on top of it, having a dipshit who insists everything is on a discount they misunderstood.

I swear every store has to have that one crabby cashier that acts like they own the place because they've been doing the same job for thirty years.

>>8971160
Are you serious? How terrible is your cardio? Does your heart struggle to beat?

>>8972671
This is not a serious post and anyone who claims to live off pinto beans and potatoes is not a serious person. Like I said earlier, >>8971257
>>When I was in college, I routinely walked
>Pretty much says it all.
Either you are unemployed or unemployable. There is no possibility that you are gainfully employed and actually spend an hour walking to the grocery store just to buy potatoes and pinto beans.

>>8972692
You do realize that this thread is not about you, right?

>>8971409
>This is why poor people stay poor. You have no concept that you are wasting at least 2.5 hours every week on chores. Time which you could instead be using to better yourself, earn money or do literally anything that you actually want to be doing.
I live in a town filled with people on welfare and none of them think with that mentality. All of our stores are located downtown, right next to their HUD apartments, so any employees see them multiple times per day whenever they feel like walking down the street to use their EBT cards for a two liter of soda or a pack of cigarettes. The only attempts they ever make at having a job is working at the local potato chip factory or wal-mart for a week before quitting after realizing how much easier it is to spend their entire day wandering around town with NEETbucks or trying to get free shit by hoarding newspaper coupons.

not them, but I'm a full-time night chef and this is routine for me
I get up on my day off, walk 20 minutes to the meat market (if they're on special, I stock up and freeze), then I go to the grocery store next door to get starches/beans and vegetables. One bag meat + one bag potatoes/rice/beans + one bag vegetables is neither difficult to carry or time consuming to prepare and usually lasts at least a week. After I get everything settled and prepared I go chill on the dock outside my house with a sweet tea and sometimes go kayaking, look at birds etc

idk what kind of complicated high strung life you live where two hours to procure and prepare a weeks worth of food is a colossal waste but maybe you should chill

>>8972794
The guy lives in an area where he can't tolerate the summer heat (can't be bothered to walk at sundown) and doesn't have the imagination to load up an audio book/podcast. Also apparently doesn't know what an insulated bag is. He wouldn't come up with comfy rituals like that.

>>8972280
That's wic, a slightly different program that white lists apposed to black lists foods. eg you can buy cheddar cheese but not american cheese.

>>8972362
Wait, do American supermarkets have two people working at one register?
When I worked at Safeway, everyone scanned and bagged shit. I think everywhere in Australia doesn't like that.

>>8972868
Some supermarket chains have baggers that go from register to register. At some the cashier bags, at some crappier ones you're expected to do it yourself. It varies.

>>8972852
When you said white list and black list I immediately thought you were referring to races. I need to get away from this place

>>8971685
But that's fucking wrong retard. It's the urbanites in NYC that walk practically everywhere or take a train.

>>8974906
This. That's one reason there aren't many fatfucks in the coastal cities whereas flyovers are epidemically obese. Even when their destination is a 5 minute walk, flyovers always drive. Hell, even when they have a postage stamp yard in suburbia they have to have a riding lawnmower.

>>8971685
This: >>8974906

I meant to reply to that post earlier, but forgot about it in the ensuing shitstorm about Uber.

I think that the anons claiming that they walk to get their groceries are simply not Americans and have absolutely NO FUCKING CLUE how the majority of American cities, suburbs and small towns are laid out. If you live in one of the few downtown areas in America which haven't fallen into urban decay, and those are mostly located in the Northeast, then sure, you can probably walk or take public transportation to get your groceries with ease. That's not true for the vast majority of the population, though. Most Americans live in suburbs where you can walk 20 minutes and see nothing but subdivisions (houses).

>>8975064
>This. That's one reason there aren't many fatfucks in the coastal cities whereas flyovers are epidemically obese. Even when their destination is a 5 minute walk, flyovers always drive.
You are close to understanding, but your prejudice against small town dwellers, and probably an acute lack of ability to empathize with people not 100% exactly like you, is preventing you from seeing the truth.
>"Even when their destination is a 5 minute walk...."
That's the issue, though. Small towns in America are only small in terms of their population. As an example, my mother grew up in a small town in Texas with a population under 200 and her family had to drive about 45 minutes to the closest grocery store where they could buy fresh produce, meat or any variety of real food that the local general store wasn't able to keep in stock. How long do you think that would have taken to travel by walking? Because 45 minutes at highway speed usually translates to about 40-50 miles distance.....

Granted, that's a bit of an extreme example, but the norm in American small towns is to have a low enough population density that very few people who live "in town" can really get away with walking to a grocery store in under an hour's time by foot.

>>8975109
>acute lack of ability to empathize with people not 100% exactly like you, is preventing you from seeing the truth.

Yeah, no. I live on 4 acres 8 miles from the county seat which has a walmart and piggly wiggly for groceries. If I want to go to a metropolitan area where they have asian markets, whole foods, kroger, etc. it's 40 miles one way. The people in small towns live in food deserts just as much as inner city nignogs. The fact they have to drive everywhere and only have access to shit food causes them to be as obese as inner city nignogs. That walmart in the county seat? At any point in time except late at night and early morning there are at least 15 scooters in use.

I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

>>8971205
I'm a chef working 55/65 hours a week and I spent the last 3 years doing exactly that. Could even plan a leisurely trip to the butcher while I was at it.

It wasn't the most convenient thing in the world, but it was the reality of the situation and very easy to manage. Just gotta toughen up and make it into a positive. The trip to the butcher was a reward for doing the big walk back and forth with all my groceries. Good exercise. Etc.

It really is an insignificant amount of time if you have capable time management skills.

And I work 60-80 hours a week. It's a 20 minute walk for me, but conveniently on my walk home.
