I recently tried to get a delivery job on Uber eats and I was rejected because my car is too old, 16 years old, being a 2005 Taurus with 85,000 miles and in excellent condition. I’m not eligible to deliver food in my car, which feels not only unfair but discriminatory. I’m in desperate need of earning extra money on my days off from my retail job, I’m 64 years old, and according to Uber eats my car is too old for delivering food. If I don’t have a car that’s satisfactory because it’s past the 15 year old requirement for cars able to deliver, I believe that’s not fair for those people that have unacceptable cars for Uber eats, and if a car is the catalyst for hiring someone, then you’d think perhaps those segregated by cars older than 15 years are the very ones in desperate need of another job. I not only feel less than and not good enough, but I feel hopeless about how difficult it is for a 64 year old woman with a 2005 Ford Taurus to make an honest attempt to make extra money which I desperately need, to be told I’m not eligible with the type of old car I have. I feel degraded by the entire process of applying to Uber eats, and I feel discriminated against for not being able to afford a good enough car to deliver food in. I’m not sure if this is a common complaint, but I felt the need to voice how wrong this is.
