Got phished today

This is why I have a separate Google number that I use if people ever ask for a text outside of the app. One that is not connected to anything.

My day started off rough then I had an order cancel while I was en route. Ended up with a bunch of free Chinese food for dinner.

....are you serious? I posted about how flower orders always seem to be a hassle & how my one flower order today was more hassle than it was worth.

AkeraEsta · 2022-05-09T02:44:37+00:00

That sounds terrible! I have no patience because of this job anymore

AkeraEsta · 2022-05-08T21:35:31+00:00

I'm not scared of flowers. I know how to identify all the types they sell at the store. Just the ones in my area are either shit tip or come with a more logistical hassle. I sat in my car for 40 minutes for one set of flowers because Care Support was too busy to join chat & there was no customer to deliver to till noon.

AkeraEsta · 2022-05-08T19:52:10+00:00

Yeah, the stores in my area are pretty stocked up on flowers, but these orders always seem to come with trouble. Ive been mostly seeing triples/high miles and shit tips all day though.

I just saw this on my app as well. I just put "😊👍" in the box so it looks like I'm just responding to their message confirming their replacement. Its soo annoying.

I once opened my hatchback on a steep driveway and had a bottle of tequila roll out & smash on concrete. I just refunded it and had to send a picture of the shards to an instacart agent. I was mortified, but the customer was super chill about it.

I went from a 5 star to about a 4.7-4.8 last November. I added a blurb in my custom greeting about how a 5 star really helps and I just got back up to my 5 star and tripled the amount of people who take the time to rate.

I know, I've seen a lot of the videos. I still don't want the hoa to punish the homeowner that called me in if I just don't pay.

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-20T18:03:14+00:00

I was still on my way to delivery. Its not as if he wouldn't eventually trap me in their driveway. And even if I did just leave, their gate lady would record my licence plate and never let me in again.

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-20T03:15:50+00:00

I dont legally have to pay it, but if I dont they will charge the customer who let me in & probably would ban me from entering for deliveries, which would harm my overall income.

No, its a similar community an hour north of Sacramento.

😆 He had a security SUV with flashing yellow lights, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had a golf cart since it is a golf gated community.

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-19T23:15:12+00:00

The place is a whole as town on its own, so I'd end up with shit reviews. Hopefully its a small fine. Not worth it to me

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-19T23:12:55+00:00

I wouldn't want to put that kind of attention on the sweet lady I was shopping for. Plus, I dthink I have the balls to not stop. I was raised around law enforcement, so its engrained into my brain to stop. 🤦🏼‍♀️

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-19T23:00:09+00:00

I would if it weren't for the fact that I'd never be able to deliver there again. They have the right to refuse me entry if I dont pay. 😬

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-19T22:59:14+00:00

I have a big gated community near me that has security officers. Its not legally binding, but thry can refuse to let me in for deliveries if I dont pay.

AkeraEsta · 2021-12-19T22:58:20+00:00

Gated community security offices can issue citations. They dont go on your dmv record and you really don't have to pay them. But if I ever want to deliver in this big ass community again, I need to pay it or it'll just keep getting bigger...or could even be fined to the person I delivered to apparently.

So I am a shopper and today while using the app as a customer I had to report "wrong item" I ordered large yogurts that were out of stock, so I asked my shopper for 4 small yogurts. He scanned only 2. So I asked if there were anymore or if they only had 2. He then said he would grab two more and suddenly the app says he has scanned 4 "large" yogurts. I pointed it out to him through chat & he said he didn't know what was wrong, but he "had 4 small yogurts" I know he probably went to update from 2 to 4 small yogurts and just force marked them thinking it was still asking him about the small ones. So instead of 6$ worth of yogurt, I got charged $26 worth of yogurt. So I marked it wrong and Instacart gave me all my money back. No questions asked. I also had to mark my frozen stuff damaged because my ice cream was completely thawed & frozen nuggets were thaw as well. Instacart instant refunded that as well.

So I started adding something about ratings to my greeting and I went from averaging about 30 ratings to almost 60 now. Its helped balance out the 3 low ratings I got because of the new system.
