The Guru Take

Uber for Grocery Shopping

You can use Uber to ride in with your groceries, however Uber does not provide a service to customers that will get your groceries delivered to your door (yet). The company is testing out a program with Walmart that will allow this, but as of now it is only available in Phoenix.

Of course you can!  I do it all the time to go to Shaw's Supermarket on an Uber.  I live in a city, and I take Uber every time on a rainy day.

The driver will not wait for you unless you ask.  I always end the trip at the store and then request another on the way home.  Sometimes, the nice drivers will wait for you in the parking lot so when you get out, you are matched up with them.  That's a win-win!

      I am a driver. If I wait for a client while they go to an event, do I leave the meter running until the end of the return trip?

        Of course, you can.  That seems fair to me, and customers expect it.

        You will be paid for the time you wait.  You will be paid less than what you would if you were transporting a passenger, but at least you get paid for simply waiting!  Make sure to kill the engine so you don't waste gas.
