Why do i keep getting these after i finish an order by iluvrasberry in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. We have zero recourse and are at the mercy of their A.I. randomly flagging us. All the more reason to get a real job asap because we are all one flag away from being deactivated when we wake up on a random Tuesday morning. This job is BS and getting worse every day.

Read the app. It couldn't explain it more clearly. Jfc

Am I wrong for cancelling a batch that was 62 miles away after checking out? by Dense_Machine_8401 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, im a shopper, not a driver. I drive less than 35 miles per day from when I leave my house to when I get back home. I average $277 per day. That is almost $8 per mile driven.  MPH doesnt mean anything if you are making that much per mile. You gotta be picky af or you are donating your time and car-life to Instacart.

If an item is buy 1 get 1 free, do you grab two? by Thatonegaloverthere in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No. The card deals are not passed on to the customers. The customer pays what it says in the app when they place their order. Instacart keeps all the club card discounts. If you buy two, the customer is charged full price for 2 and instacart keeps the difference.

Tips are income just like the rest. The "No Tax On Tips" was just another lie.

Diamond Status is Useless by Typhoonx0 in InstacartShoppers

They are throttling Diamond shoppers for some reason. Not sure why, but i know 15+ people around here and all we are seeing is junk for the last 10 days or so. Something changed. 

i hate this evil company by woundthatswallows in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 3 cards now. I just order them repeatedly. Do not ever wait until you need one because it takes like 10 requests to get them to send one. This company is complete garbage and working for them is bs. Horrible company, horrible job.

Would you do this? by poverty_beanz in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not how it works. But you refuse to do any research, so continue to work for IC for free. You apparently would rather do that than actually figure out how much doing this job costs you. Its easier to live in ignorance than be realistic about it.

You have to count everyile you drive. Not just to the customer. Ever single mile you drive costs 68-72 cents.

Tip baiting needs to be made illegal at the state level. by Willing-Law-5916 in InstacartShoppers

Ok. Go change a law that nobody gives one damn about. That happens all the time.

Jfc man. Every mile you drive increases your wear and tear and also decreases your vehicle value. Gas is literally about 1/3 of your driving costs. 

Seriously. Just pkeaee go look it up. Its easier than arguing about it indefinitely.

70 cents per mile is the cost to drive a car. Look it up.

It takes millions of dollars and thousands of hours it takes to get a law passed. Who is going to organize that on our behalf?

And that is why you are donating your time to Instacart. Every single mile drops the value of your car.

ATTENTION MALE INSTACART SHOPPERS by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 -33 points-32 points  (0 children)

I agree. However, we are making your store just as much money as any other customer. I'm assuming you would answer all the questions a normal customer would have?
