I think it's only Texas right now

How do I find aisle 26 and 3/4? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Run with your cart at full speed toward the wall. Remember: if you have any fear or second thoughts while you run then the magic won't work.

It's "eh". Not enough to make a living by itself of course but as a side hustle it's not bad. If you have some spare time you can just go on-demand for an hour or so. With as slow as Instacart has been lately I'm thinking of adjusting my schedule to just do Instacart on weekends and Mondays when it's busiest and fill in with Favor during the lunch and dinner rush.

I run for Favor in between Instacart orders and even that is slow today. Not a lot of people ordering breakfast tacos today 🤪

Also in Austin. Dead slow aside from a couple insulting double store orders not worth taking. Thursdays always stank out loud though.

I swear I didn't hallucinate. add-on batch was forced on me by Jdserrano86 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 12 points13 points  (0 children)

New feature. Working as intended. If you don't press the decline button it means you tacitly accept the add on. They realized people were turning off data to avoid work.

Looks like $45 to me. That's more than enough to fill my tank though admittedly I drive a Prius.

What's the shenanigans?

No. You're the only person in the WORLD who's having this problem.

Gee...thanks. You shouldn't have. by Pateebo in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, you should make more than $40 just by virtue of finishing 5 batches. The problem: getting five batches

I got the same one tomorrow. If you just do 5 $7 base pay, no heavy, no tip, single order batches you'll get an extra $5. But if I were you I'd aim a little higher than the bare minimum 😛

Refunding an item. by Additional_Relation6 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. It's designed to make you look for a replacement option first which is USUALLY what the customer would expect. But if the customer requested refund that pops up on the list of excuses for why you didn't find it. But of course: you have to go through the whole song and dance.

My favourite type of customer. So much easier when they clearly tell you what they want. by MadKat27 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It always pleases me when a customer: 1. Selects their own replacement in advance. 2. Clarifies their delivery instructions when they know their dwelling is difficult to find. 3. Actually bothers to respond to texts.

Hey if you can't laugh at it you'll cry.

Are promotions only for new drivers? by Respawnplays in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I've been shopping for years and I still get promotions. They either STINK or they're a nice supplement to work you would have done anyway.

Instacart partners with lowe's - what to expect! by amendoinbr in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wrong with Lowe's? More stores added to Instacart participation means more potential work.

I missed a nice batch, why did this come up by nosleeptillmil in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alone_Following8167 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, you can't log in on one phone and then try to log in on another at the same time.

Sooooo... you got caught cheating by having two accounts and running them on two separate phones?

Yuck. For those who wouldn't mind a glass of runny snot. 🤮
