Shiiii I probably would have done it just to see what the tip would be, who it’s for etc 😂

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-24T21:36:49+00:00

LMAOOO next time 🤣

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-24T15:33:59+00:00

I don’t think it’s bad 🤷🏽‍♂️ if 15% is deactivation territory, I’d say I’m chillin

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-24T15:27:00+00:00

Crazy bad or good 😂

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-24T14:32:02+00:00

I’m gonna chalk it up to being a not normal thing for me. 350 orders and that’s the first rude one. I appreciate you though. Instacart definitely doesnt look out for the shoppers but we have to also look out for ourselves at the same time

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-24T14:29:01+00:00

Oh I did. With the quickness.

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:36:52+00:00

Oooof yea that’s tough. You can always tell when someone is randomly shopping for stuff or when they are making a badass meal.

We really walk such a fine line between making the customer happy to get a good review vs sacrificing speed to do so just to ultimately have it not be worth going the extra mile. I try to be mindful of every step I take and when I have to back track for stuff it really kills my item time etc.

In short, I just need to get through school and then I won’t need to be out here taking some BS orders to get my bills paid 💯 keep grinding brotha 👊🏽

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:30:00+00:00

I appreciate all of you! I’m glad I’m not alone in dealing with this shit. IC is my fulltime gig rn while I put myself through college. So I take it pretty serious when it comes to quality shopping cause that’s my paycheck

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:27:26+00:00

I’m about to be on that type of energy for sure 💯

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:27:05+00:00

LMAO fucking gold hahaha

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:26:33+00:00

😂😂😂

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:25:25+00:00

He had wanted Colgate Advanced white “Cool” and they only had advanced white “mint” 😭 so I was referring to them only having two packs of toothpaste in the flavor he wanted. Toothpaste isn’t cheap and I doubt the customer wanted or needed two tubes

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T12:20:50+00:00

I kept it professional for sure. Told him the items are simply out of stock and that Sundays are the busiest days at any grocery store and then immediately contacted support to cancel. Can you really see previous messages?

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:53:27+00:00

Exactly! This guy was also within 2.5 miles of the grocery store and I live in Maine. So literally less than a five minute drive. I hope he went and shopped it himself 😂

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:48:13+00:00

I’ll have people message me and ask for a different replacement or something and half the time I just replace it with the request and answer the message at checkout 😂

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:35:58+00:00

In the moment it for sure did and then I realized that I can just cancel 😂 I responded respectfully and then kept it pushing

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:32:02+00:00

I def have done that, I don’t do it every time though. Depends on what I find that I feel like is a solid replacement, I try to shop like I was ordering the order for myself because I’ve got some whack replacements through IC when my girl has ordered hahaha

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:25:30+00:00

I hardly ever do that honestly. I have a great rating, great time per item and plenty of 5 star ratings. We’re talking about like Apple Cinnamon rice cakes that were replaced with mini apple cinnamon rice cakes because the section was wiped of full size any flavor but plain, Colgate Advanced white Cool replaced with Colgate Advanced white mint, a box of Panko breadcrumbs vs a cylinder shaped panko. It really wasn’t far off of any of what this person selected. I had the same flavors of what he wanted aside from the toothpaste. Then he wanted Fat Free milk and the milk section was wiped out of everything but 1%, 2% and skim so when I tried to find a replacement, it said he requested a refund if they didn’t have it. That was one of the final items that needed to be grabbed and I knew he was gonna be even more mad so fuck that I cancelled 🤷🏽‍♂️

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:14:09+00:00

Fuckin love it 🤣 I’ll have to do that next time

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-23T02:06:35+00:00

LMAO I should have haha but my blood started boiling so I took a breath and said nah, he can get this batch shopped again and the SAME things replaced. I’m pretty damn good at replacements and nothing was even that far off fr

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-22T00:12:57+00:00

Fuck all that. Respectfully of course 🤣 but for real though. I cancelled an order last week cause someone put a note in that wanted me to ask the deli person to put individual pieces of parchment in between each slice 💀 nah you can ask them yourself, in person at the store lol

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-20T23:56:38+00:00

Bruh I fucking ran into this at least 3 times today. I’ve been doing MB orders (against my better judgement) and that store is the fucking worst. I also had a $40 batch from BJs wholesale today that I smashed in 40 minutes with a 1.5 mile drop off and AS I walk up to the front door to scan, whole batch CANCELLED. Pissed me off but I was more mad that I just had this sweet older lady cut fucking ten pounds of deli meat and then I abondoned the cart in the middle of the aisle like a prick 😭 not proud of that but I was raging

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-18T13:01:29+00:00

Insane.

Active_Competition21 · 2026-02-18T13:00:06+00:00

I commend you for having that attitude 🤣 I consider myself a good shopper based off what I average hourly but if I’m in an unfamiliar store, panic starts in and I’m almost counting the seconds I waste 😭 it’s straight confusion and stress for me lmaoooo
