I've tried Uber Eats phone app four times now.

Twice from Pho By night, once from Caribbean Sizzler, once from Sweet Bazil.

It will bring up the restaurants that are open within your delivery location.

Tip and delivery charge included, but I tipped the driver anyway.

Each time it came in about 30 min. You can see the delivery as it progresses towards your location.

If you use my code on checkout we will each get $20 off.

My code is: eats-francisc1340ue

Thanks!

Uber unilaterally reduced the coupon discount to $10.

Feeling annoyed ! Grr .....

Uber f##king with discounts.

Shocker.

I went to Hintonburger a couple of weeks ago to see if it was as bad as everyone said it has become and if it would be as bad as the last time I went. Ended up having an amazing burger and the fries were pretty good too, expensive but I was pleasantly surprised. During the 10 minute wait for my burger I couldn't believe how many uber eats drivers came in. They had a separate line for them and it was definitely busier than the actual line. Times have changed!

My next new idea is uber spider . . . . some people are terrified of spiders. Wouldn't you pay for an uber driver to come over and catch a spider with a handheld shop vac, so you can go back in the house ?

Funny you mention that Francis. There was a pic of a note floating around which was a left for the postal carrier asking them to dispose of the spider in the mailbox. It was holding the persons mail hostage.

I like where this could go... Like uber dogwalker... The driver brings you dinner then takes your dog out for a walk.

I get two reactions to Uber Spider: laughter, or "I'd definitely pay for that".

Drivers probably want to keep driving, so not sure they want to walk dogs, or the dog might go after them if they show up as strangers . . . Uber drivers are probably students who have a car and no classes and want to make some money when they can. It gives them flexibility. I will tip them for that reason.

We need Uber Something where they bring food, fold laundry while you eat and then clean up after the meal.

Now I need the thumbs down feature, Rizak!

She Who Must Be Obeyed

Are there any single (guy) chefs in Ottawa?
(I'm single, but just joking......unless you know someone who is nice....).

Actually I do know quite a few guys who are great cooks- but they are not single or not in my age range....

Uber Dates.

Ah yes! Medjool or Deglet Noor?

Lol. I must say when we are at King Eddy last night I did see about 5 or 6 uber eats orders go out during that time and this is a growing trend I have noticed in many other spots too (EVOO, Flapjacks just the other day)! I have yet to try it but I suspect its in the works.

Uber Eats is good, but some of these startups are definitely not worth it.

Uber can make it work because of the existing fleet of Uber drivers.

In the USA being and Uber driver is a risky job. Many have been attacked -the motive being robbery.
