  • I decided to do Postmates after the 2nd paycut of the year. The results are dare I say...SHOCKING! Postmates believes this will help us by removing the minimum guarantee but my results did vary. My pay has suffered and now I'm relying heavily on the generosity of my customers. Do you want to see more vlogs? Let me know in the comments below!

      Postmates doesn’t give a fuck you’re whining about it
      Go to another app if you don’t like it
      Postmates is still the better deal because 100% of tips goes to us.

      Quack Quack Goose oh yeah and from the honest email all Postmate drivers received about our CUT in pay I’m sure they give us 100% of our tips and would never do what the other delivery apps were caught doing when an investigation showed tip stealing from drivers.
      This cut in pay makes some of the no tip deliveries cost us out of pocket- your ignorant comment must mean you are not a Postmate driver. I mean no disrespect.

    There still seems to be a minimum guarantee as I took a Starbucks that was going right across the street. All I got was the pickup (1.55) and drop off(.70). I noticed they still did a minimum guarantee and adjusted it to 3 bucks. That’s still pathetic though

    What I’m noticing also is that I’ve been having more double pick ups than usual but they are only paying the pick up base once instead of twice. Instead of being paid 1.70 for pickup I should be getting paid 3.40 since I am picking up 2 orders. Idk I haven’t done Postmates that long or had double pick ups so idk if this is something that’s always happened but it doesn’t seem right. Only 6 dollars and some change for 2 deliveries? Only getting the .75 cent base for drop off and mileage for second order is BS to me.

    I worked for Uber Since 2017, till last week. well I just cannot do it anymore
    Uber Takes 0% to 20% of what the Customer Pays when you First Join. Soon After,
    Uber NOW takes 40% to 70% of what Customers Pay, and PAY NOTHING FOR GAS.
    Drivers can tell very easy if they take the time to look.
    Open Your Uber Ap, click on "FARE DETAILS" and you can see how much Uber Got,
    how much You Got, and what the customer paid.
    Drivers should not listen to Ubers Smoke and Dagger Con Artist CIRCUS ACTS.
    Uber are using drivers cars for FREE.
    They do NOT PAY FOR GAS
    They do NOT PAY OUR CAR INSURANCE
    They do NOT PAY FOR CAR MAINTENANCE
    They do NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING
    No hourly wages, No Benefits, Not even roadside assistance, Nothing!.
    In 2 years, I have not spoken to, or heard from 1 single real person.
    We Just Use Their AP, and they take 40% to 70% of what Customers Pay? It's Criminal.
    So what happened? Why Rob and Bankrupt Drivers? Why rob the gas out of Drivers gas tanks?
    Now being a Uber driver is not cool, and most cannot afford to fix up their cars.
    Next time you ride in an broke uber, is it worth the risk? It's not the drivers fault!
    Then Lie about IPO Uber Driver Bonus.
    Dara said there are 3 million drivers in the USA last week at IPO time.
    Uber reports sending money to 60,000 Drivers.
    How much percentage is that? 2%? So Approx 98% of Drivers Got Nothing.
    Out of the top 2%, Many of them got $100.00 Dollars Bonus for 2,500 Rides?.
    So 1% of Active Uber Drivers got a Bonus of over $100.00 Dollars?
    WE NEED A NEW AP - BOYCOTT UBER!

    I would try working closer to LA, such as the Westside of town like Santa Monica or Culver City. You are likely to receive more orders because you are in a bigger market base. You may spend more on gas for your commute, but the quantity of orders & payout in a short period of time is so much larger, especially on weekends.

So for Postmates to take this away doesn't effect me... and when I pick up the order i normally drive 3 to 10 miles anyways.. so far it seems its even or I'm making more on the distance... BUT I'm waiting a lot more between orders now.. Ill see how dinner rush goes tonight (Monday)

    This has been my life the last 4 months. Thought I was the only one! The other day I accepted a retail order at CVS for the first time. Was texting the customer in the process cause they didn't have something. 10 mins later go to the location and the customer isn't answering. NEVER AGAIN! Has this ever happened to you? & College kids usually tip me the best.

  • @Vengeancethreat
    @Vengeancethreat 5 років тому +6

    I've been on Reddit and seen the outrage. You are describing a typical day for me. Waiting around 30-60minutes between orders while in a hot zones and when I start driving to another area an order might come through for where I had just been sitting for half an hour. The mileage not always being correct is a problem, and I definitely don't know about the wait time pay being worth it.
    I stumbled across a group tackling this PM issue of unfair pay in a subreddit. They are starting a #payup campaign; the group Working Washington.
    There is a petition which WW has started for people to sign, too.
    Here is a link:
    actionnetwork.org/petitions/postmates-weve-had-enough-its-time-to-pay-up
    FROM THE LINK:
    "Postmates workers are speaking out in light of recent pay cuts that have dramatically decreased the amount the company is paying for their deliveries.
    Before the recent change, Postmates paid workers a base rate per job, plus a per-minute rate for wait time and a per-mile rate for miles from the restaurant to the customer. If that didn't add up to a "minimum guarantee" of $4, they made up the difference. And now...
    They've "updated" (their word for "lowered") rates for base pay and per-mile pay.
    Those changes add up to pay cuts of up to 30% for workers in some cities.
    Oh, and they also removed the "guaranteed minimum" per order, so they can pay out as little as they want.
    That minimum was already low - $4 a job isn't much when you have to cover all your own expenses. So the fact that Postmates is getting rid of it tells us their new pay model is all about going lower than low."

    These companies use that same BS time and again - "help increase averages within a given hour". Well, that's not really the most important thing. What your tip is, is the most important. In this business money lies where a good generous customer base is. So we look for higher subtotal offers, catering, and group-order opportunities. Businesses are, far and wide, the most profitable. From what I have heard with respect to Postmates, they really do not have that. Driving around for a platform that is complete crap is wasting your time. What is the sense in boosting customer demand if they are cheap? No point. Money in this business is scarce. Tell the Postmates investors and executives to go out there and work for this trash. See how long it lasts.

      P Zak it’s the cut pay aspect that’s pissing people off. I’m not sure if you don’t know how postmates works but it’s explained pretty well in the video.

    Man $18 and change for almost 7 hours of work? Damn! You did worst than the guys who are panhandling in public. I am debating on whether or not I should do food delivery service. You should have reported that lady to the police and file a formal complaint for sexual harassment and sexual assault because she was objectifying you. You need a lawyer and you need to go to the press and start a Me Too movement for men. Tell them how humiliating it was dealing with that kind of sexual harassment at your job. You need to sue Postmates, that lady and the business where the harassment occurred. Don't tolerate that man, she followed you with the intent to rape you and she obstructed your ability to open the door of your car and that is intimidation and aggravated assault. Call Gloria Allred.
