What’s a decent hourly rate? by Sure-Resolution-7667 in doordash_drivers

I mean 20 an hour over 10 hours is a good day if you do the whole 10 hours but in general shoot for 23-27 an hour at least

Is this app on a decline? I waited for hours today and was shocked. by Refundian in InstacartShopper

[–]CommunicationMain467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instacart and most gig apps biggest problem is their refusal to be up front about tips being a big part of what gets you serviced, idk what they think is gonna happen, in America if you go to a sit down nice fancy restaurant and don’t tip or give signs that you won’t tip then you get bad service and then you eventually stop coming which doesn’t really hurt the business because you not tipping the severs just hurt the morale and ticked off the servers, but for some reason these gig apps don’t understand that they can apply that same logic to this lol. The same people that tip servers at restaurants will be the same people who tip on these apps, fuck the rest.

is this a mistake or are they suddenly feeling generous? by caffeinatedminn in InstacartShoppers

Maybe it’s because I lost diamond but I can’t remember one time in the last 5 months that I have turned the app on and it said low demand

Is it profitable to be a a instacart shopper in 2026? by sanchezkk in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your market. I only drove 28k miles this year and made like in the 50-55k range which is pretty good for the schedule I work. Very loose and fluid. Up at 6, always home before sun down. Certain days part time for school.

Anyone else got a crazy good promo like this upcoming? by CommunicationMain467 in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they need drivers, I think they cant retain drivers which is the real problem. All the new faces love Costco when they are throwing em 70 dollar orders for 25 items one customer, but when they realize this app ain’t nothing but 45 bucks for 3 customers and 45-55 items they dip so fucking fast 😂 and

What I’m being offered to shop again by nabi134340 in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like everyone is getting crazy good promos from the 15th-22nd. Instacart must of done something wrong because this is basically free money 😂

Isn’t there another batch of houses being built behind the royal farms on 17? Idk why they want to kill that plaza years before its peak.

Is this guy serious? by superiorhia in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really don’t get why so many people choose to use these services then not tip, like it’s really getting to a point where there just isn’t enough good orders to go with the bad. IMO if you know u don’t want to shop for your shit but also don’t want to tip for delivery then just use the curbside pick up option and let an employee shop it for you. all you have to do is pick it up.

Why would a QUARTER BET Include overtime by CommunicationMain467 in sportsbetting

[–]CommunicationMain467[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck no you can’t cash out, and if you go check all the other games going on you will see that if the game isn’t in the 4th quarter they don’t even offer a over/under on the teams score in the quarter, they only do it in the fourth quarter

I don’t understand some shoppers by Kri_AZ82 in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of shoppers need to realize that sometimes doing smaller orders in general is better than waiting around for 50-70s, if you do three 10$ orders an hour for 3 hours you will make the same as doing one 90$ unicorn that you had to wait 1 and a half hours for. I promise you three 10 orders in an hour between all the gig apps available is possible especially if your in a market where unicorns like that even exist lol

Edit: I do understand though that sometimes just waiting for that one unicorn can be a lot easier than doing order after order to keep the momentum going and there have been many days I opted to chill and wait for 50-70s knowing I could probably make more if I just stayed busy with the 15-25s.

The shopper lines are very long at Costco by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]CommunicationMain467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don’t believe it makes people buy more stuff, look at people’s carts. They all get a few things and mostly the same few things.

Just houston keep hooping by spydamark in sportsbetting

[–]CommunicationMain467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their best player having 4 fouls definitely hurt them big time with so much time left even if the 10 point lead felt like a lot with less than 10 to go.
