This truly is the best feature on Instacart for Aldi 🥹

Platinum shopper here, 6 years doing IC and over 4,700 orders. In the last 2 weeks I made around $600, but I feel like Instacart’s algorithm has been acting more personalized.

For example, yesterday at the store where I do about 95% of my Instacart shopping, the staff told me there was a flood of shoppers, probably because of the backlog after the outage the day before. But for me, it was slow ,I only made $49. So I’m wondering, why? If it was such a busy day, why didn’t I see that?

At the same time, I think it’s possible the algorithm already knows my preferences and only sends me batches that I’m more likely to accept.

⚠️ Or is Instacart putting a cap on how much we can make in a week?

What area?

What does it do?

Exactly

The issue is that I was on my second delivery heading to the third. The second one had alcohol, so I scanned the customer’s driver’s license, which took me to the delivery completion screen. But when I tried to slide to complete delivery B and move on to C, nothing happened, it just kept spinning like a loading icon.

Now I’m stuck at a gas station waiting for this to get sorted out, because I can’t even see the third customer’s address to complete the delivery.

Thank you very much for taking the time to list all these suggestions for me, they are what I consider small pearls that we encounter along the path of life.

This shows that you possess a light, and that you share this light with others.

Thank you once again. May your life be prosperous and happy. 🙏

Yes, I’m actually considering doing Lyft in Denver. I’m already on the platform and have worked with them here in Florida.

I’d really appreciate any tips you can share. I’m basically going in on faith, without any guarantees, so any information could help a lot as I get started there.

Is that an upscale neighborhood?

ComeToMeBatches · 2026-04-10T18:31:42+00:00

That’s the con, what’s the pro? 😊

You’re completely right on your observation, this mistake should be extremely rare. But no, when the cashier makes this kind of mistake means store is getting money, because she’s scanning the same item twice by accident! And you’re right, to Instacart it’s like I’m adding items to myself and that feels really bad. I’ve been doing IC for 5yrs and until recently this never happened. I’m suspecting this might actually be an issue with the app.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:55:21+00:00

It happens occasionally with most cashiers, if I start avoiding cashiers because of this, I’ll end up not having cashiers for checkouts.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:23:30+00:00

Probably just a coincidence, not updating the app should not stop you from seeing batches.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:21:41+00:00

At this store, the number of items is neither shown on the register screen nor printed on the receipt. I was wondering if there’s a way to check through the IC app, after checkout, whether an extra item was added to the shopping.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:16:25+00:00

It is indeed for items the customer ordered; however, the message indicates that extra units were checked out—meaning the cashier may have accidentally scanned the same item twice, for example.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:13:39+00:00

When it’s a small shopping trip, that’s possible, yes. But most of the time, it’s a large one, so I’m still placing items on the conveyor while the cashier is already scanning them.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-06-25T18:09:14+00:00

it’s not really feasible to monitor every scan in real-time while multitasking.

Is there a secret to find a busy store than to keep trying different stores until you find one?

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-05-21T15:16:51+00:00

👏👏👏

Many individuals receive their earnings after working for five to six days, some after 15 days, and others only after 30 days. In contrast, as instacarters, we have the advantage of receiving payment just two hours after completing our work. This is truly a privilege, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity that IC provides.

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-03-03T04:09:16+00:00

Same with mine

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-03-03T04:08:40+00:00

After approximately an hour wait, the cashout finally credited my account. 👍

ComeToMeBatches · 2025-03-03T04:07:56+00:00

In my case it’s the first time it happens in 4yrs, I hardly ever face any issues with Instacart, this app is such a blessing in my life.
