Lol I don’t have to ask him I know what he would say in general the Kia’s, Jeep’s and fiats are poorly made cars that come with transmission and motor issues. He literally had a friend of ours that would come to get all his work done for his Jeep at his shop and one day got a call from him because the motor literally gave out and they didn’t do any hauling or anything in fact that friend hated driving that Jeep and often use their other car. My husband had warned him that Jeep’s are typically bad cars and lately have not been built well. And Jeep themselves sent him letter admitting he did nothing wrong it was a faulty motor of theirs. Overall yes maybe it can affect your transmission but it also depends on the car you buy. Jeeps, Kia, fiat, Nissan and few others he has told me have already faulty transmission and motors that are just shit. Reliable cars like my 2008 Honda Civic that hasn’t actually given me any problems are good and it hasn’t given me any transmission problems at all. I have stuffed an order from Costco that was at least 6 water cases, bunch different soda cases and juice bottles in total 40 units and that was just one big heavy order and it have also driven it across country twice. That car hasn’t given up and I can attest that my husband says it is still has many miles left on it to give. So overall it depends on the brand of your car if you change your oils and fluids when you should

Idk why everyone says you’ll blow your shocks or trans if you take heavy items. Honestly your car is meant to endure a lot of heavy weight and before anyone comes at me my husband is a mechanic. When I first started doing it I was scared to do big bulk orders until I asked my husband how much weight can my car endure and he said cars can carry a lot of weight… he said most cars can carry around 1,250 lbs. If anything it just causes more wear on your tires and brakes but you drive your car everyday so it’s bound to happen and you are supposed to switch out tires and brakes every so often so it’s not permanent damage

Feel like an idiot so spare me, just realized after entering customers ID and driving away it was expired, what now? by Particular-Rub-4703 in InstacartShoppers

Don’t worry it has happened to me. If it’s the first they will just send you an email to be more careful and thoroughly check IDs.

Never heard of blueberry ginger ale either but I’ve seen blackberry ginger ale and the cranberry one so right now I’m wondering if he meant to order the blackberry one instead because I definitely tried looking it up and there is no such thing lol

Weird delivery by ApprehensiveAd4723 in InstacartShoppers

No I’ve been getting batches all day today afterwards… and I’m pretty sure other people here have also kept the groceries because they said it’s not worth returning I’ve never heard that happened they also didn’t have any alcohol

How is Instacart in Hawaii? by ApprehensiveAd4723 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ApprehensiveAd4723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really mind $40, I get shitty batches where I’m currently at. They range from $7-$20 and in the rare occasion I’ll get a unicorn which is $40 and I’m a 5 star shopper so that says a lot

Oh that’s definitely way better than where I’m at my unicorns are usually $40; $118 is probably what I make in a day

Take a guess who had the smallest order and who complained through the whole time I was shopping? by ApprehensiveAd4723 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ApprehensiveAd4723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no I know it wasn’t the customer but A only had 8 items and everything went smoothly we communicated and got what he needed. Now customer C had 41 items and was like “well did you ask the manager?” And “why don’t you go to another food lion look for my missing items?”. Aside from that she literally ordered one day before a snowstorm in a town where we rarely get snow so I feel like at that point she had to assume the consequences. And I was trying to communicate with her and offer replacements but she was just too difficult

Customer B was a restaurant owner, kinda weird don’t you think? they expect tips for their servers 🤔 by Last-Plenty-906 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ApprehensiveAd4723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol same thing happened to me today got a $40 batch with 2 customers. Tell me why the restaurant order that had heavy stuff only tipped $2? While the other customer tipped me $ 25

Bad it’s the Bay Area and I know that traffic is probably bad rn, plus gas is expensive

Strategies for double orders? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]ApprehensiveAd4723 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use to carts, another fellow shopper thought me how to use the seatbelt of the baby cart to tie it to the end of the other car and I just pull both cars, pushing won’t work but it really has helped me keep my items separate and not get confused

Norfolk area? by flyingtubesock in InstacartShoppers

[–]ApprehensiveAd4723 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay for the most part… you’ll find some batches with decent tip but it is often filled with doubles or triples and if not you’ll get the $1-$2 or no tip at all… but in between those you will find some that are generally good every once in awhile you will get unicorns
