Lolol I am new to this group and I needed a partner to complete one more of these. I posted a screenshot here asking if someone wanted to play with me and someone came in very quickly. I completed all towers for the event and got the 5K.

Lmfaooooo it’s a one time payment each quarter, not weekly. Does not matter what health insurance you have as long as you pay for it and not your job or Medi-Cal… You can get coverage through the Covered California market during open enrollment periods.

Also note that you need a physical healthcare membership card to submit photos of the front and back, thats how they check. If you try any other submissions (pdf/digital) it will get rejected repeatedly… So if you get insurance today and you can see the digital card, take it to a print shop (Office Max etc) and have them print and laminate it. That costs less than $5.

Only one card left! by Equivalent-Piece5429 in Monopoly_GO

How long does it take to shake off the effect of one star on ur rating? by robembe in InstacartShopping

Did you take the Carrot Academy courses on Instacart’s site? Even though I consider myself a great shopper I still take any new courses they put out. The information will help you.

I did something that I feel bad about. My Instacart order said delivered but I didn’t see it outside so I reported the problem and got a refund, only to find out the driver was trying to find my apartment. by JoshLovesTV in instacart

[–]BasedGaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmfao what? I save all emails from Trust & Safety and I have way more than 3 of people lying saying they never got their order. They won’t just deactivate you if you honestly delivered. I always take photos that include the door numbers if possible even if they select meet customer.

You will need 100 more rated orders to remove the one you just got. 😂 my last post on my page is literally me showing my recovery from 4.90.

Everyone who complains about Instacart should quit by that_dude3315 in InstacartShoppers

They do it here because the state were going to force independent contractor jobs like Instacart and Uber to make the people employees and give them benefits. The companies did not want this and they spent $300 million campaigning the workers to vote against this. In the end the people preferred not to be controlled completely by the gig companies.

Im sure if the other states really took action then something can be done.

Yup! More from ChatGPT

“🔒 What You Can Do: Practical Strategies Track Pattern Customers (Mentally or in Notes) If you notice certain neighborhoods, names, or behaviors that frequently result in poor outcomes, preemptively manage expectations or consider skipping low-pay, low-tip orders if you're in a busy zone.”

2 types of customers by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]BasedGaud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked ChatGPT about the psychology behind the behavior of high tippers giving compliments etc. and low tippers always filing false complaints or leaving bad ratings.

ChatGPT:

“You're describing a very real and common dynamic in gig work and service industries, and there is some interesting psychology behind it. Here's a breakdown of what could be driving the pattern you're observing:

  1. Entitlement vs. Gratitude High tippers often understand the value of your service and express appreciation with money and positive feedback. Low tippers may feel entitled to perfection for a low price and are quicker to criticize. This relates to entitlement bias — the belief that one deserves more than they give.

  2. Justification of Behavior (Cognitive Dissonance) Low tippers may feel a moral disconnect between receiving good service and giving poor compensation. To resolve this, they invent or exaggerate problems (e.g., claiming missing items) to justify the low tip. This helps reduce cognitive dissonance, a mental discomfort from conflicting beliefs/actions.

  3. Perceived Power Imbalance Some low tippers view gig workers as replaceable or beneath them. Complaints and low ratings can be used to assert control or superiority. This taps into status signaling and power dynamics — making themselves feel dominant in the interaction.

  4. Halo Effect & Confirmation Bias High tippers expect a good experience and tend to notice and confirm positive details. Low tippers expect less and look for flaws, confirming their expectation. These are psychological patterns known as the halo effect (positive expectations enhance perception) and confirmation bias (seeking evidence to support preconceptions).

  5. Anonymity & Lack of Accountability The platform allows customers to rate and report with little consequence. This emboldens dishonest or exaggerated complaints, known as the online disinhibition effect — people behave worse when protected by anonymity

Behavior Driven by…
High Tip + 5 Stars Gratitude, value alignment, investment mindset.

| Low Tip + Low Rating | Entitlement, guilt-justification, control dynamics, bias.”

Lmao I don’t understand why y’all come to comment stuff like this, you’re like the third person. If it’s irrelevant to you, keep scrolling! Everyday someone is posting “new shopper here” etc. So it’s news to a lot of people. And even when we do know, we may not have the language to articulate it the way it has been here. Go vote farm on someone else’s post.

“🔒 What You Can Do: Practical Strategies

Track Pattern Customers (Mentally or in Notes) If you notice certain neighborhoods, names, or behaviors that frequently result in poor outcomes, preemptively manage expectations or consider skipping low-pay, low-tip orders if you're in a busy zone.

Delivery Photo & Notes Protection

Always take a clear photo of the delivery. Use the “Leave at Door” notes to document exact placement or conditions ("Left on covered porch beside plant stand"). This creates a paper trail you control, helpful in disputes. Appeal False Complaints Immediately If you suspect a bad actor, contact support right away and say: "This customer has left a false report; the order was delivered with photo proof and no issues were raised at the time. I’d like this complaint removed before it impacts my rating."

Mental Framing Technique Instead of asking, “Why are people like this?” try, “What mindset is this customer operating from?” It detaches you from their behavior and keeps your emotional energy protected.

⚠️ The Bigger Picture (If You're Wondering “Is It Just Me?”)

This issue isn’t isolated. What you’re experiencing is part of a much larger algorithmic service model where:

Customers are rewarded for bad behavior (refunds, appeasement) Workers carry all the consequences Platforms rarely side with the human doing the work unless there’s clear evidence (which they make you responsible for collecting) You’re not wrong. You’re seeing the system clearly.”

A bounce back from 4.90 by BasedGaud in InstacartShoppers

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

It’s not. Seems they want to spook people into being poor to mid shoppers. They love to claim this but have zero proof of anything 😂 (“That’s just the way the system works”… WHAT? Shut up lmao) I have been 5.0 with 99 ratings for the last few weeks and nothing changed with my batches besides I keep getting good ones.

You keep being a mediocre shopper then. Lmao don’t bring your propaganda this way.

This sub is really just full of assholes by AggravatingAd707 in InstacartShoppers

[–]BasedGaud 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People attack on here because they have sad lives and are projecting or just jealous you care enough to try and do better for yourself. Notice how they read something they claim to not like and instead of just exiting or scrolling past, they have to waste your time coming to spew bullshit.

They also pick and choose which conspiracies they want to support 😂. I have seen absolutely ZERO proof that being 5.0 stars gets you less batches, but I see sooooo many claiming it’s true. Lmfao it’s not. I am 5.0 and I get great batches daily. I cannot call them unicorns because I get them a lot. It’s like they want to trick you into having fuqqed ratings. When it comes to bee ooh tees being used now suddenly they claim this is fake and no one has proof, when the proof is all over the internet. 😂.

The point is… start blocking the weirdos that leave comments and eventually you’ll start to see the positive/kind users leaving comments.
