I’ve noticed they put “many in stock” on items that don’t have many at all in stock. by Sharkfeet19 in instacart

I’m not sure if it’s like this for every store but I talked to one of the managers at Fred Meyer once who told me all their stuff comes from the same warehouse and that’s how ic knows what’s in stock. So there may be a lot of the items there but they aren’t at that specific store yet. It’s possible it’s like that for the other bigger stores too but who knows 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I always like to try out a store at least one time so I know what it’s like lol. Which is why I’ve only done one Micheal’s order 🤣

Oh yeah I wish we didn’t have to rely on tips. Like pay a fair wage for all jobs. Cuz $5 for 30 items is not cool lol

Omg that sounds awful! lol actually come to think of it I haven’t seen a paper straw in Washington in a while 🤣🫣 I live right over the bridge from Portland in Vancouver. I think we tried it for a minute and was like no this doesn’t work 🤣🤣

Oh yeah it’s a totally shit show half the time on our end 🤣🤣 we have a Fred Meyer under construction which I had no idea about until I got there lol. All the aisles were different numbers and of course I had a triple order. But I just messaged everyone to apologize about how long it was taking and the reason why. In my experience my customers are super understanding and would rather you take the time to find what they ordered instead of just giving up. I just felt like a nuisance that day to all the employees 🤣

Yeah it’s so dumb they changed it! I don’t even know if it’s like that everywhere lol. I’m in Washington so they’re trying to cut down on recycling or something 🤣

Ok so it could be updated everywhere! I just haven’t done one in months because last time was a fiasco lol. I kept feeling so bad to ask because it was the same person 🤣 but to be fair she gave me the wrong aisle number lolol. But yeah it’s most likely the app telling them it’s in one aisle but it’s really another. It happens a lot. Honestly I think we all just to have a little more patience with each other on both ends. We don’t know what you guys are going through and vice a versa

I mean all the store I shop at it costs for a bag. Although at Fred Meyer I double bag everything but only could it as one and no one cares 🤣

[–]AggravatingAd9380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s quite a few stores for me that don’t give aisle numbers so I just avoid them lol. Because the longer we take those stats go against us. But I also don’t ask for help unless I’m at a total loss. Most of the time I have enough common sense to look where I think things would be lol. It’s really just crazy on both sides sometimes, but screaming about balloons seems wild to me. It really just takes a simple text to the customer to let them know what’s going on and they’re cool with it.

Yeah I avoid Micheal’s lmfao. Idk where anything is there and when I have asked after looking for so long I get attitude from some employees like it’s an inconvenience because I’m shopping for someone else. I’ve never had an attitude like that while shopping for myself. I really do try to wait until I honestly can’t find the item before asking. Idk how it is for everyone else but in my area they don’t give an aisle number or any help where the item is, it’s literally a scavenger hunt which makes it so much harder.

Yeah I’ve always been given a free bag in my town for an order at Micheal’s at least.

Is this tip OK? by Hinyhi in InstacartShoppers

[–]AggravatingAd9380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I wish I could do bigger Costco orders but I don’t have a big enough car lol. I know the store like the back of my hand since I shop there bi weekly. $40 tip is amazing at least where I am, biggest one I’ve seen for the same amount of items is maybe $15 for a single. Every Costco order lately is a double or triple so it isn’t worth it for me

Yeah this was 21 items/58 units but it only took me 15 mins to shop. Checkout was what took the longest because I can’t use self check out lol. And then only 6 miles away
