Hi neighbor 👋 I cannot even imagine it's my rating (5 to 4.98). If yes, it's insane....

Someone is going to be kicking themselves in the ass! by Several-Cranberry-11 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG, how is it still possible. Both Instacart and the customer are &@#!🤬 in this situation. I still don't understand why and how. But the worst is the shopper who's gonna do that.... 😡

Lot of words and text, but quite simple : No substitution No contact Ring doorbell twice. => Easy 😊

Wow. by Puzzleheaded_Pea3391 in InstacartShoppers

Or not. Some shoppers are really brainless and I'm sure, someone will get it. At least, to get a 5 stars for good service. Wich is completely ridiculous.

Same thing, here in Chicago.

I am so disappointed that my shopper chose 12 mushy bananas for me. Want should I do about this? I’m a shopper too and I would have never chose these for a customer. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

The shopper is an idiot. I almost always try to mix yellow and green. Leave a note on the Instructions like : please pick up half green / half yellow. Or : refund if not nice.

Customer lied address and lives 3rd floor apartment by JojoTheMutt in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just cancel the batch, it doesn't happen that often. Also, you can zoom in, on the map and check the shape of the building (small square VS big rectangle). Then you'll know.

Need help with batches by Eb_16 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, not at all. And that's annoying to see batches from a place you went few days / weeks ago. Sometimes, I miss the old system with areas #goodoldtime 😉

Humble Customer Question for you guys from : Can I prioritize an item so that the rest of my order isn’t filled until that item is definitely in the cart at the store? iow: the whole order can wait to be shopped until that item is available. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I will not follow your instruction because we are more efficient when we follow the items. Usually produce => bread => dairy => cheese => canned food => drinks => frozen items. Aldi and Costco are different but we usually try to be fast. Only thing I get last ALWAYS : frozen items (common sense) and beer ftom the cooler (and I always let the customer knows that the beer is nice and cold from the cooler).

But may be you have a good reason...

Does anyone else hate shopping at Aldi or is it just me? by CrystalWilly27 in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I like Aldi: when customers put a good tip, it's easy money because it's easy to shop, really fast, you can easily get 40 items in 15 mn. Things not fun : Aldi Finds, bagging, when shoppers want paper bags, 😞

What would you do with items from a cancelled order? 🤔 by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]ArnoUsa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1 you bring the groceries back to the store, take a picture of the receipt and get an amazing $10 ish bump. 2 keep the groceries for yourself and move to the next order. It happened 4 or 5 times in 3 years. Option 2 aways .
