UberEats 'delivery hero' scores $6 for simple act: 'A little surprised'
UberEats worker Feras told Yahoo News it's the 'shortest ever' delivery he's done.
Six dollars in under one minute.
That's what UberEats delivery 'driver' Feras earned last week for walking 75 steps out of a Hungry Jack's restaurant and heading towards a presumably, very hungry — Brisbane customer's home a mere 200 metres away.
"I looked at my phone a little surprised, then I looked at my car and thought, let me just walk it," he told Yahoo News. "I don't know how much the customer paid or how much Uber made... I think I got like $6."
Feras simply had to cross a one-way road between the fast-food restaurant and the customer's home, confessing it's the easiest six bucks he's made and it takes the crown for his "shortest" delivery during the two years he's worked for Uber Eats.
"It was not heavy... in fact, the paper bag wasn't even overpacked," he said. "Maybe [enough food] for one or two people."
UberEats worker compares Australian and UK deliveries
Feras has been a delivery driver in Australia and in the UK, and told Yahoo News he's noticed many Aussies will pay delivery costs for short-distance trips more than Brits.
"900-metre deliveries are common... Brisbane is faster-paced deliveries but less traffic [than London]," he said, admitting he wasn't mad about it. "There are some impatient people sometimes but overall [it's been] positive."
"I'm not your typical Joe delivery guy, I'm a delivery hero," he joked.
