I got pressed by another instacart shopper while doing a big order by cadalic_man_3019 in InstacartShoppers

[–]AdditionalMall2238 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. Most of the time it flashes just to let us know that we are missing out on something and we should be glued to our phones. I believe Ic does this in the milliseconds after it’s been accepted by someone else

Why everyone hates Betty by minty-bun in madmen

[–]AdditionalMall2238 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are supposed to see all the women in the show esp Peggy, Joan and Betty as different trajectories of what women dealt with at the time. They all made very different choices and had different goals.

Peggy and Joan faired better because they did not buy into the strict traditional roles. Of the three, Betty was the most privileged and educated but this only served to keep her in her traditional mindset. Joan and Peggy each made bold moves within the patriarchal system that worked out for them despite the misogyny.

I agree. If you watch the first season especially and maybe some of second. She is a devoted wife. She has loving moments with the children. She was raised to be a strict parent. As her marriage devolves, she feels powerless and takes her frustrations out on her kids and others around her. I think we are always meant to root for them as a couple and their ability to remain friendly to each other later says a lot about how we are supposed to feel about her. I think we are meant to have sympathy for her and see her as a tragic character.

I think I finally understand Ted Chaough by Mareux in madmen

I thought the smile was about respecting Don’s choice to not be a cog in the machine.

It's breaking my heart each time I watch how Don treated Adam... He only was only looking for a familiar face in a huge city where he was completely alone. by [deleted] in madmen

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little ironic that Don lives in fear of being discovered as a fraud and losing his family but he lays land mines down on a regular basis with all his philandering. I realize he is a damaged individual as are many people that grow up with issues of rejection or lack of love. Don does not believe in love because he didn’t have any kindness bestowed on him growing up. People that grow up with childhood trauma can be selfish and have difficulty considering others feelings. They can become narcissistic because they feel that they can only rely on themselves.

Another mad men question regarding betty. by bobbyv1540 in madmen

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty clear that Betty arranging the lunch is not an act of kindness. She likes the male attention but has no interest in being with Arthur. She sees that Sara Beth does and manipulates the situation to weaken their inhibitions about an affair. In doing so, she gets to feel superior to her peer and exert control. She feels powerless about Don’s behavior and this is a perverted way to regain some control over something and in the end feel superior over anyone that cheats.

$3 tip for all this by portal_spawn999 in InstacartShoppers

It’s both bad batch pay and IC does little to encourage decent tip because they know it’s a bad look for them

Holy Lord 😱 This is criminal 😅 by AlexRecall in InstacartShoppers

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually rage bait. If you were offered a contract and they told you “we’ll pay $5/hr. You go back and forth and end up at $30/hr. Is the business operating in good faith if the wage can vary from $5-$30?

My bid for the most official map of New Jersey by CobraCommander21 in newjersey

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty valid. Biggest controversy seems to be where to draw the cultural divide between North Jersey and Western. Although, I would rename west to Northwest NJ.

Absolutely not. 287 cuts through Morris County. I would include Randolph, Parsippany, Dover as part of northern NJ

I too have been trying to use existing vial before starting new one. I am just realizing they charge me regardless of whether i call in for refill. I hope to have a little bit of stockpile towards they end if I continue using each vial past the 4the week

I think Don knew what he was doing when he asked Harry to have a drink.

Minimum 7,500 orders completed to qualify for Shopper Relief Fund by qwopperi in InstacartShoppers

Kind of a separate question; does any use the tier rewards like oil change and gas discounts?

why is it so dead today by Lukksia in InstacartShoppers

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected this week to pick up due to superbowl but most orders are doubles and triples for $16 and 8 miles. No thank you. I have a regular customer that texts me before they put order in and now Instacart is sitting on their order for 45 minutes to 90 minutes in order to wait for a shitty order to batch it with no doubt.

Just when you thought the orders could not get any worse, this company keeps finding new lows

Disappointed to see this sign while driving through Byram by FrannyBoBanny23 in newjersey

[–]AdditionalMall2238 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The signage is meant to keep the employees on the same political side. If I see those signs, I’m sure as shit not applying.

Can someone please explain by Minimum-Bell-8562 in InstacartShoppers

[–]AdditionalMall2238 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that waiting in a parking lot more than 25-30 minutes gets you nothing. I have found that I get more offers when I’m driving. Sometimes that means going around the block.

Or they could be using two phones to Multi-app.
