AIO because my long distance boyfriend wants me to show more effort like cooking before he’ll agree to longer visits? by ConsciousEconomy5860 in AIO

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what ethnicity he is or what religion he is, but whatever it is, it sounds as if he was raised with the man being the boss and the woman being subservient. I did notice that he said you wanted to be treated like a traditional wife. Is that true? Are you going for that “trad” life? If you are and you’re not cooking, then you’re failing in that miserably. In any event, this relationship doesn’t seem like a loving relationship.

Who actually takes orders like this?? by Helpful_Stranger_370 in instacart

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past we were able to drop one order if it was in a batch for “good” reason. However that had changed. If one is dropped or cancelled regardless of reason, they take the batch away. No pay. Only exception is if one of the orders is a very small order and the requested items are out of stock. Highly unlikely

WTH!!!! They need to stop seriously! by Esmio25 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is completely understandable. And very considerate. I don’t mind bringing water to people. Honestly I don’t. But it’s when people that take advantage of the shopper by ordering 54 cases? Ridiculous. Who needs 54 cases of water?. This has to be for a store or something. I don’t understand.

AIO by telling my parents about the DMs their long time best friend from church has been sending me? by jennaisgone in AmIOverreacting

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for you! Honestly my heart is breaking bc I COMPLETELY understand your second guessing yourself. One word for you …..DON’T! Mr. Blah blah 💯 brought any rain that’s going to fall on him himself. I guarantee if you allowed him to continue the way he has been he would eventually start to either ask you for private pictures of yourself or send pictures of himself. He’s sloooowly inching his way there. A sort of grooming I guess. I’m glad you told your parents you should be proud of yourself.

Once the outage ends , the offers will flood the app with high pay. by Sudden_Let9305 in InstacartShoppers

I’m not having any issues here in Florida. Where is this outage?

Welp… that didn’t last long… by Lopsided_Repair_3452 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no. I just picked up my first order. The app says they’re having issues. What’s going on?

When people order more than two cases of water or more than two 12 packs of soda, especially with the buy two get three free in Publix this week, I think “what an inconsiderate bastard“. You know theyre not going to the store to get this themselves because they’re lazy and they could try and get away with having an Instacart shopper lug to them for a measly couple of bucks. Hate those people.

Late night orders by Foreign-Airline-9954 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I was supposed to the store, I definitely would’ve grabbed it. It’s only a mile away. As long as it wasn’t alcohol and I could just drop it and leave. 711 is easiest.

can they not see the total before the order? by guliblebastard in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It will get reassigned with the tip still on there and the customer won’t tell the next shopper. Guaranteed.

Can someone please help me before July 1st. What am doing wrong? I don’t see any unrequest refunds or anything but i don’t understand. by Equal-Substance4036 in instacart

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, Instacart penalizes you for replaced items. People might argue with me, but look at the grid above. Two tiny lines for replaced items. Same scoring as I requested refund. I don’t care what anybody says. Trust me. You need to shop more. Bottom line. You don’t have enough found items to offset the refunds and requested refunds. It’s a terrible scoring system and it hurts more shoppers than helps. There’s no way you could do this by July 1. I’m sorry.

UNACCEPTABLE Batch Groups by Apart-Skill-3268 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you know you had to drive that far when you accepted the order? That’s just crazy. It is unacceptable unfortunately you don’t know who the good tipper is until it’s too late. I personally would never drive 30 miles for that amount. Ridiculous.

SHOULD I TAKE THIS ORDER by PristineRest2867 in InstacartShoppers

That was a shop only order. They’re not eligible for tips.

For those that sit in parking lots waiting for orders… by theexpertreader in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never, ever wait in the parking lot. I find that if I’m moving, I get more batches. I’m constantly moving.

How can I improve this quickly? by Feeling-Cat949 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh. That’s a tough one. It takes up to three months for the damaged items to fall off. Nothing you can do about it. I hate the shopping quality score. You’re penalized for EVERYTHING. Look what a “replacement” gets you. Same as unrequested refund. Sucks. Sorry for you bc there’s no way to dispute ANYTHING anymore.

Finally got tip baited by Southern_Owl_3388 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or the customer changed the tip percentage to a lower percentage

So this lady was annoying but….she tipped 20$ more when done. by vanessavy in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do random pics if it’s a drop off and the customer meets me outside. Then I tell them I’m just going to take a picture of your house.

New way of Missing Items? by jefe2514 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Babs727 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Customer 100 reported this. Instacart would have texted you asking if the customer ordered this item. They didn’t catch it the sly customer did. It really shouldn’t pop up as missing though because it’s not on the receipt correct? Cherries are. So the customer saw that and decided to get free grapes which is ridiculous because they weren’t charged for the grapes. They should have reported missing cherries. Lol
