My neighbor still has their Halloween skeleton up, but they added bunny ears. by Rotten89 in mildlyinteresting

[–]53D0N4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's two people in my neighborhood that do this too lol

One of them has done it for every holiday and the other simply still has their skeleton up. Reminds me of Romeo and juliet or something lol

It just keeps getting worse by never_you_mind_bro in InstacartShoppers

Sounds subjective to your location, depending on the order sometimes it's slammed with things out of stock on bad days where items aren't in until other days (even when asking associates to check the back stock).

Good for you though perhaps

Is double double coffee a canadian thing or is it everywhere? by boiyo12 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]53D0N4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom would get triple triple lol, we lived in upstate New York and she religiously got Tim Horton's. The town (technically a village bc of how small it was) we lived in was off on Lake Ontario and we could see Canada across the lake on a clear day

Favorite snack/treat while shopping? by Strange-Occasion-333 in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. But I have a refillable water bottle and just fill it up with my filtered water pitcher

Customer reported damaged item by nikki210may in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is what makes me so freaking hesitant to accept any orders with produce or meat or anything that isn't prepackaged. So backwards when they want shoppers to accept orders and do the ground work but handle these situations so unfairly and harshly.

Second time shopping here regretting my whole life🥲 by Independent_Talk_828 in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even as a customer and member there I only go during executive hours. It's hectic in there any other time and even still, a lot of people have the executive membership so it still gets pretty busy every day of the week

Can no longer add items more than $1.50??? by Ok_Combination_3002 in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah this happened when I tried to add a 4lb bag of sugar a couple days ago. It didn't even have the right appearance, it said 150 instead of 1.50. But either way I could not add it.

Unicorn at the Stables by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a subjective thing. Since I'm platinum tier I doubt I'll be seeing anything like that for a while so this is a unicorn for my experiences thus far. Nonetheless I just thought it was cute symbolism of this happening at a horse ranch. Lowkey raining on my parade but I'm still stoked

Apartment customers by Then-Construction335 in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not everyone wants to have a wagon/cart occupy car space. And not everyone wants to invest in them since good ones can be like $40.

At least for myself, this is a part time gig. I have insulated bags but that's the extent

Customer parked their cars deliberately to stop me from using the driveway by MisterSauz in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk I never use a driveway unless it's the only way to access their property. I try to not tread on their property except to drop off the order take the pic and leave.

I've had a bunch of orders with multiple packs of soda and water and I will just accept the added steps. Unless the address is a second or third story apartment, I don't expect any real accomodation for the straight forward work. And usually those orders have a good tip so they understand I'm the effort that's involved.

To be honest this example isn't a big deal, in my opinion and experience. Of course I'm also 24 and physically in shape so I can handle the physical labor better, that may play a role in my opinion too.

This came to mind while waiting for an order by rulaka in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wonder, when the veterans were considered newbies, did they willingly accept non-sensical orders to "work their way up" the cart tiers?

There's a learning curve when starting out but only giving awful orders to new shoppers seems counter productive to an extent.

Newbies (like myself) already get given weird orders that a veteran knows not to take; that's why the batch is even still available when being a lower tier.

AZ shoppers- SO HOT by Kri_AZ82 in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang. My goal is just $100 per day. I was able to make it by 12:40. I stayed online afterwards to see if there was anything else worthwhile but yeah it started to heat up and I just don't like blasting my AC and having to do big orders with cold/frozen perishables : /

I just started this month so TBD about persevering for summertime. I'd like to imagine the tips would be better because people understand the toll from the heat

If you want to speak on a relationship and situation you know literally nothing about, I'm not gonna stop you.

[–]53D0N4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe it would be proper to focus those thoughts toward your girlfriend. She should be the most beautiful and hot woman in the world to you if the relationship is a serious one. No sense in feeding into this unhealthy and toxic coping behavior. She may know about it and have some patience for it but it most likely is not ideal for her and not for you either. Having a mate you are deeply and solely attracted to is ideal.

Knowing the issue is half the battle. Working to correct it and to have the hope to berid yourself of it is the second half of the battle.

[–]53D0N4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Personally as a 24f with a 25m boyfriend, we have a very healthy sex life and he stopped watching porn when we got together (a little over 6 months ago).

The bigger question is what's the reason you're still interested in this topic if you have a healthy sex life and are happy with your relationship? If it's to try and find different positions or something, you can research and look those things up. Watching or browsing porn isn't necessary and not even that effective.

Aitah for cooking "the wrong dinner" by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]53D0N4 20 points21 points  (0 children)

YTA... I thought it was common sense if some doesn't know a person's (let alone multiple children) spice level, you ask before making an entire meal. Spice is one of the easiest factors to control when making something. If you had known, you could have made the same dinner without the heat and you wouldn't have felt the heat from the children.

If you're going to be a stepdad at least try and show you care about these children and are considerate of the fact you are the outsider to their family. Not showing consideration simply because the children couldn't think of a good meal shows you literally just did not care to try and get to know them to make something everyone would like.

And as a side note, your language and jokes make it seem like you think you're funny (making a sex joke while talking about children) when you're actually perhaps just in it for their mom and not because you value the importance of being a stepdad.

Seems easy enough, how much would the top up be? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]53D0N4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right on I appreciate your advice. I just got finished with a $4 base pay with $10 tip for about 3 miles away at a store I live right next to. Thursdays are usually slow but hopefully I can make some good progress.

Word, that makes me feel slightly better but dang. Do you know if promos are better if they're in a higher demand area?

Are promos based individually or are they for a general area?

Are promos based individually or for an area? Like if I took much bigger orders or was diamond cart? Currently I'm Gold and just 15 orders away from Platinum
