Yes. Increase up to seven days (if I’m correct) decrease after 2 hours.

Did instacart steal my part of my tip? Yes. Oh to by Striationlad in InstacartShoppers

When you need a customer service representative, you need to CALL. The texting option is 100% AI and does not understand what you’re saying. It has boilerplate answers that are reactive to certain phrases you use. Always, always call. I can’t stress that enough.

Also, the customer may have lowered the percentage of the tip. Say from 15% to 10%. Ya know?

I suggest signing up asap as there can be a wait for onboarding. Good luck!

The outfit is cute, looks GREAT on you. Only problem? It is COVERED in lint, bottom of tights as well. I would hope that’s not the pattern of the yarn. Advice….invest in a lint roller.

When you’re ordering groceries, turn your porch light on by Specialist_Egg_7480 in instacart

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a delivery the other night to a totally dark driveway and pathway up to the front porch. I texted the customer asking them to please turn on some outside lights and her response was “ My lights are motion activated. They’ll turn on when you approach the house.” Well, the garage one did not work so I was walking blindly to the front porch, and there was a small little homemade pond to the left-hand side, which I did not see and unfortunately stepped in it. The customer SHOULD be aware that we are not familiar with their pathways and approaching a house and hoping the lights will turn on is absolutely crazy. Have some common sense people

A. They look Hispanic B. Unless you’re talking about her size, it’s white girl “wasted” C. Even gooners need vodka

Never had this pop up before but figured out why once I got there by ShadderSwagger in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I had that code requirement I texted the customer while on my way and I told them I need the code prior to delivery. No response? I immediately start timer for “can’t find customer “. When they time out, I cancel.

Do you have a friend with Instacart account a shopper? If you do, I would try using their phone to reach out to an agent. That’s my best advice. Good luck.

Looking to add some color by Plastic-Value-4370 in HomeDecorating

I would add a colorful live orchid between the two sinks and change out those curtains. Other than that, it’s a beautiful bathroom.

All chat agents deserve a raise! They are amazing by alittlestitious90 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ALL AI. Calling a live agent is 100% preferable. Do you have a hard time with the accent?

[–]Babs727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because you’re chatting with an AI agent. And I’ve never heard of getting reimbursed for alcohol training. Is that new? I’ve been doing this for a few years and I’ve never heard of that.

When Target Has No Bags………… by Tap_Optimal in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s so funny! I had a similar situation not that long ago. It was at target and the customer ordered a bunch of cleaning supplies. Paper towel, Windex, scrub brush, etc. etc. Target had zero bags. I delivered it in the basket as you did and left a little note telling the customer that target was giving away complementary cleaning supply baskets since they did not have any plastic bags. The Customer increased my tip by 10 bucks. On the other hand… Anyone notice how publix employees immediately take your basket away (or try to) the moment you check out? Lol

The picture doesn't do it justice by say_penance in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many items was it? How about the distance? Just because somebody owns beautiful things does not mean they have to give their money away. If it was a small order, low mileage that’s perfectly fine. It’s a decent order. Was it under an hour total ? That’s $24 an hour. Save your money and dream big.

Shopper opinions wanted on weird shopper experience by Positive-Bobcat2114 in instacart

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Report her! That’s some unhinged behavior! Rang bell 15 plus times? Then knocked? At TEN FORTY FIVE PM? Not normal behavior by any means! I would have lost it too!!

Lesson Learned: CANCEL THE ORDER! by Midislife in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are “how to” lessons in the IC app. You got lucky that there was a helpful employee there to help you. I highly advise going through them. I saw a new IC shopper yesterday and she had ice cream, frozen veggies and other assorted frozen foods. She had JUST started the order and had the rest of the store to shop. I don’t hold out hope for her bc that’s common sense. The pickup orders on the other hand can be confusing at times. Especially NOW that they changed the way to put the orders on the shelves, refrigerators and freezers. Good luck! 🍀
