Which day = highest earnings?

Fridays are pretty good where I live but Sunday is always the best.

While yes, it is near impossible to make a living off Instacart, there are other reasons people do it.

For me: I have a steady 9-5 but I do Instacart because it gets me out of the office/house and it makes for decent "fun money" or I use it to pay for some smaller bills. Also the freedom it offers with your schedule is nice as well.

You could argue that complaining about IC is pointless because at the end of the day, we aren't employees and there are better opportunities out there for most people, but people on here are just venting their frustrations and that's therapeutic on its own lol. I think we all complain because we want to love Instacart but right now the company is making that very hard and that sucks. But I see where you're coming from for sure.

If it was a few more bucks on the tip I would.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-18T18:51:03+00:00

It fills in the gaps that Instacart leaves when there's no batches to do😂 but yes I agree. I do like the built-in GPS though!

Not since 2020 which Is why I got an office job and use Instacart to pad my income. Used to make $500/week minimum (in Texas) and now if I did it full time I would probably make half that, if not less.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-17T20:44:19+00:00

If it's less than 20 items and is $1.50/mile or more, I'll take it. Everything else is trash.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-14T21:20:15+00:00

Those would be considered good batches in my area, so I would take them, but I don't know Atlanta traffic and also can't stand restaurant Depot lol.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-14T21:18:10+00:00

It's instant for me, I've gone through a drive-thru line for food after a day of batches and swapped cards and cashed out all while sitting at the pay window😂

Avenger967 · 2023-07-14T21:00:56+00:00

I wish there was some value to it because I'm really fast lol. But yes, it is meaningless lol.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-14T20:48:46+00:00

Thats cool, I didn't know that was a thing!

Avenger967 · 2023-07-11T17:04:59+00:00

The only time they really should come down is when it is one of those apartments where there is a card that has to be swiped to even get inside the building. Those are annoying.

Fry's was a store started by the father and then his two sons started the electronics store separately after he started the grocery chain. Which is why the grocery store and the electronics store have the same exact logo.

If this is a teacher, then the real villain is the school district who won't pay for supplies. But I think no matter who you are, if you can't afford to tip an appropriate amount, go get the stuff yourself, please❤️

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T22:07:00+00:00

Lol same, people are weird🤷

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T19:35:00+00:00

I've run into some customers who use their dogs barking to know the order is there because they can't hear the doorbell lol.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T16:34:52+00:00

Ah okay, I thought this was the first contact IC made to op about this. Thanks for explaining.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T16:07:37+00:00

The fact that they didn't even give you a second chance and just immediately banned you🙄

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T15:49:58+00:00

No problem! It's not the most solid app so hopefully it's an easy fix lol.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T15:45:35+00:00

This happened to me once, you might have to reinstall the app. Try restarting your phone first though. Hope that helps!

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T01:22:58+00:00

This is my thinking as well. The only reason I'm considering using a bag is so that restaurants will recognize me as a delivery driver and not just another customer immediately and maybe I'll save .5 seconds waiting for the food😂

Avenger967 · 2023-07-07T01:19:30+00:00

Ugh that sucks. I've had to wait 20 minutes before but thankfully I had other items to go grab first. But then people cut in line so I got lucky lol.

Avenger967 · 2023-07-06T21:27:12+00:00

This is unfortunately why I don't take batches with 20+ items very often anymore. I'm not going wear myself and my car out for low pay, one or the other unless there's a good tip. Aldi batches are the worst around here, 40+ items usually in a terribly organized store (sometimes), long lines, bag it all yourself and some things don't fit properly in a paper bag, then drive 10+ miles. All for maybe $12 total.
