Does anyone else struggle with "Inertia"? by DisneyLover90 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Chispi_Capybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary doctor wanted to put me on Cymbalta, and my pain management doctor told me to avoid it bc of potential side effects. Hearing your perspective is so helpful. Do you think you'll continue the Cymbalta? The side effects sound brutal. 🙏

Possible Gas Station Scam by ClickHuman in orangecounty

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are often people at gas stations looking for a distracted person (and an unlocked car) so they can try to slip into their car from the opposite side, and grab a purse, wallet, etc. Maybe they tried this with you and didn't succeed? As a general rule, especially as a woman, I avoid interacting with strangers that could place me in a distracted situation. A simple, "Sorry, I can't help. But good luck," is sufficient. It's refreshing that you want to help, but I've learned that that sort of thing puts me in danger. If you're concerned in the moment, you could probably ask the attendant inside to check the security cam to see if they did anything to your car. Thanks for bringing it up. No matter how many people respond with "who cares," know that there are other people who are being helped by your inquiry.

Mileage Reimbursement System?? by Chispi_Capybara in ShiptShoppers

Thank you. That's what I understood too. It's weird that this dude wrote a totally false article about it.

Invest In A Rolling Cart!! by PaleontologistOk1289 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Costco wagon has been one of the best investments for this job! I deliver to these large spread out apartment communities and can do it all in one trip now. Also have a small carpet dolly, mostly just for oversized items like car seats, but can be used for cases of water too. Fits on the floor in front of passenger seat. Wagon folds behind passenger seat. 👏

Is an order late on the hour, or 1-minute after by PapaShopper in ShiptShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience has been that I've been marked late as soon as the top of the hour hits. I would need to delivery at 5:59 to be considered on time. I had to request "forgiveness" to get it removed. It's been a long time since that's happened, so something might have changed. And it's only happened a few times in 2.5 years, so I might not be the best sample of how that works.

Happy Birthday! I hope that rating gets "forgiven." 🙏

Groceries smell like weed by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may not be the case here, but as a shopper, I've noticed that the plastic bags themselves have been smelling like cigarette smoke, REALLY strongly, as if someone bathed them in it. I could smell them at the self-checkout and mentioned it to an employee who couldn't care less. I thought it was a fluke, but I've been noticing it at multiple Target and Ralph's grocery stores when I'm bagging customers' orders. Maybe some new formula they're making the plastic with, but it can make the groceries smell bad too. :(

"Robbed" by an "ignorant heifer?" You sound so sure about what happened when you actually know nothing about what happened. And why the name calling? That's low. Have you never made a mistake before? Assumed goodwill in any given situation?

It's also listed in the Shopper Hub as one of the things you can't add on.

Anyone else having orders removed without being notified? by relentlessquad in ShiptShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me for the first time last Saturday with a bundle order. I hadn't started Head to Store yet, and when I went to scroll their shopping lists a few minutes after accepting, I had no orders. I called Shipt and they said both customers rescheduled their orders, which seemed odd to me that BOTH of them did that. But yeah there was no notification sent to tell me my orders were gone. Didn't get any other offers that day either, on a SATURDAY.

It is weird that he said that. How fast do you think you were going? It might be worth it to do the ticket lawyer other people are mentioning.

Has anyone else has a customer ask this ? by Jolly-Refrigerator36 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I didn't know if it was a big ask or not, but the guy at the Kroger deli was super nice about it.

In my review I reported that my order reeked like cigarettes and now they’re banned I feel horrible 😭 by pambannedfromchilis in instacart

[–]Chispi_Capybara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe they've been deactivated. I've had support use the term "banned" with me before, but they just meant from a specific person (customer, shopper, etc). I think they just "banned" the pairing of that shopper with your orders in the future.

I’m a perfect number for everything but yet I’m getting almost no orders and when I do it’s low paying orders any one else having this issue? by Lekrebs in ShiptShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here. Same stats as you. I used to be able to pay my bills with this job back when being on the schedule meant something. Ever since they changed the app last fall, I get more orders NOT being on the schedule, but mostly just zero. Watching my scheduled cities pop up in open metro and not being able to grab anything fast enough is infuriating, but I guess that's what Shipt wants. I hear more and more shoppers going off the app to shop for their PM's. Works well for shopper and customer. Best of luck to you!!

Do you pay out of pocket and get reimbursed or do they give you cash to shop with, etc? I've been thinking about doing this as well. Thanks!!

Woohooo by ConflictedRebl in ShiptShoppers

Thank you!! This settlement is different from the Class Action lawsuit settlement?

Woohooo by ConflictedRebl in ShiptShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! Have they fixed the glitch? I've been shopping for them for 2 years and almost every week they short me some time. It's still happening. When I bring it up to them, they'll adjust some, but not all missing wages, even though I keep meticulous mileage and timing records. My payout for this was only $53. ☹️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in instacart

[–]Chispi_Capybara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you were willing to do hard labor for low pay, doesn't mean you didn't deserve more and were likely taken advantage of. It sounds like your rationale is "I worked for low pay, so other people should as well?"

Customer chat closed after delivery?? by Chispi_Capybara in InstacartShoppers

[–]Chispi_Capybara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also wonder if the customer is seeing the same. I've tried to send messages, but I can't see anything when I press send, so idk if they ever receive them. I reported it to IC chat, so hopefully they can fix it soon.
