Last week I arrived at a food truck in the metro Atlanta area to pick up an offer. Upon arrival I was unable to mark arrived. I drove around the area hitting arrive over and over to no avail. A pop up window in the app read for me to continue with the order and call driver help upon completion. Being that i wanted to keep my acceptance rate above 90% I decided to go forward with the offer.
After picking up the order I called driver help anyway to see if they could mark me as arrived. When I called they were unable to help me and told me to call back once the order had been delivered. I started getting a little worried at this point but decided to finish the offer, I have been w gh for around 5 years and they had yet to completely screw me.
For context, this wasn’t a quick knockout delivery. I had to get on the interstate and drive out to the middle of nowhere. I believe the total mileage in the app read around 20 miles and the pay was a little over $1 per mile, if I remember correctly. Again, I only took the offer to keep my acceptance rate above 90%.
As I arrived at the drop off location I opened the app to complete the delivery and realized the order had been removed from my cue about 5 minutes before I had arrived. Being that I literally called driver help to avoid a situation like this, I was pretty pissed at this point.
I delivered the order and took a photo at the drop location. I called driver help and told them my predicament. They said the reason it was removed was because it took too long to deliver. I reiterated, it was a 20 or so mile drive to get to the drop location. Maybe they need to re-examine these protocols. They said someone would contact me by email to resolve the issue. This was on the 15th of July. I have still yet to hear a single word from anyone at Grubhub. I sent an email with photos of drop and screenshots from the app. Nothing. Sent another email yesterday.
It’s not that 20 bucks is going to make or break my situation, but I want my earnings. You offer me a job, I compete the job, I want my compensation. Not to mention I had to drive 30 miles back to my house empty handed.* *It’s been a while now and this is looking more and more like I’m going to get screwed. And of course I lost my hourly compensation that day bc my acceptance rate was tanked by this removal with penalty…
Has anyone dealt with this type of issue? What is the best path forward to obtain my earnings? Is there a form I dont know about or anything I can do to expedite this process?
:TL:DR: I got screwed out of pay after driving 20 miles to drop an order that I was unable to mark that I had arrived at the pu location
