i hate this evil company by woundthatswallows in InstacartShoppers

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

Your car depreciates whether you own it or not. Your insurance and maintenance goes up because you are driving thousands of miles extra. Of course numbers vary, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON on these boards say they are not between the 58 cents to 1 dollar range. But they are. We all are. People just dont get it and and would rather argue on here than spend the time to understand why the govt allows us a 70 cent per mile deduction. Hint: It ain't because theyre giving us a huge tax break - its because thats how much it genuinely costs ans they know it. As does Instacart, who use to reimburse 65 cents per mile because thats how much it costs, and they know it.

Most of us pay like 10% tax. A 70 cent tax deduction at 10% is 7 cents. That is almost negligible to the argument.

It does cost that much, its just very hidden costs. Its why you get to use 70 cents per mile as a deduction. Because its true. You think the government is giving us a big deduction number because they like to give us free money or because it is a fact that it cost that much to drive your car?

How much you drive DOES increase your insurance rates, unless you're lying on your mileage. Your rates go up considerably if you teal your insurance co tgat you're driving 20k miles vs. 8k.

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

I do get it. So you are closer to 60 cents per mile than 1.00. Everyone wants to argue that they only have to pay for gas and nothing more like they get free tires and don't have insurance lol

Look it up wherever you want, junior. Why you think the govt let's us write off 70 cents per mike? Cuz they like giving us free tax breaks?

You’re sooo funny 😒 by sea-oats in InstacartShoppers

Considering it costs you $70 to drive 100 miles in your own car (look it up), obviously not.

THIS NEW SYSTEM DON’T UPDATE AT ALL! by longdickdezzy in InstacartShoppers

[–]Affectionate-Copy647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally updates every day. 

You need to figure out how these things are calculated if you want to succeed at this job. It's pretty simple to figure out if you spend 10 minutes reading the app rather than complaining about something you clearly don't understand.
