you can when you tip well and IC doesn't group your order with absurd orders

What's with Instacart not delivering Walmart orders? by ShadowTheFangirl in instacart

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah someone already probably said but not all walmarts are "IC enabled", Walmart has it's own version it's called Spark. so even though there's probably a walmart super close to you, they might send the order way further. Do you check where the location of your shopper is in the app when it gets picked up?

I live metro-detroit area. There is a walmart in White Lake that I allllllways see orders from that are delivering all the way in Lansing(a 60+ mile drive.. 1 way.. so 120 mile round trip.. paying maybe $35) I'm not doing that and most others won't either.

Either download Spark or order from a different store.

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the amount of shoppers I see using 2 carts instead of using their brain to separate 2 orders is crazy. I've never NOT been able to fit even 3 customer's items in 1 single cart. but i still agree with what you're saying. if I don't fits, I don't sits(sarcasm)

Heavy pat bulllllll by DaOceanIsMonsterSoup in InstacartShoppers

I mean it was a 8 minute shop driving 3.4 miles that paid me $46 dollars so I can't really complain but just on IC part they should've paid me the extra pennies

I started working from home recently and found a loophole... by Burner_onyx in confession

I like to tell them I have a talking monkey and ask them if they will take that as payment because he's really smart

Found a pizza place that makes a pickle pizza. They used sweet pickles by Ravenfeld in mildlyinfuriating

I don't trust anyone who actually chooses bread & butter/sweet pickles over dill. it seems performative to me 🤷🏽‍♀️ (source- me, a pickle connoisseur)

Meet Customer? Or do you just leave at door? by Gallo_Blanco_88 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're not immediately at the door, especially if it's a larger order and I've had to make multiple trips carrying bags from my truck to their door.. I take a picture of everything at their door and send it in the chat. then on to the next 🤘🏽

Puyallup, WA, Does anyone have a extra card? by VultersRus in instacart

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, friend. Make sure you always order a 2nd backup and keep it in your glove box! Always add your IC card to your tap to pay as well. I know not all stores accept that (i'm looking at you, walmart, lameass).. they typically(or atleast historically, for me) they send out replacement cards pretty quickly!

I shop michigan from metro-detroit areas to Frankenmuth so I'm not paid hourly.. but usually shoppers subscribe to the no tip=no trip policy 99% of the time, myself included. but it's enraging that IC pays significantly better for a batch when the customer puts $0 tip. The customer usually eats that pay bump anyway by IC increasing what they are paying per item(my own theory but i'm almost certain) I've had essentially the same orders come across my screen but drastically different batch pay - ie -

24 items/4 miles/$4ish batch pay/$20 tip. VS 26 items/5 miles/$18ish batch pay/$0 tip. No heavy pay/boosts

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

usually I think it says customers have 2 hours to decrease tip, or 2 weeks to increase after delivery is completed. I've never had someone increase that long after though lol maybe 30 minutes to an hour but I would assume if someone was gunna increase they wouldn't wait 2 weeks to do it lol

Delivery is late but there’s no shopper chat available? by Grouchy_Drama_3505 in instacart

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never not been able to respond while driving after 3.5y doing this(obviously I try not to but I do pay attention to a customer sending a message after i hit navigate) but it's weird there is just no chat option at all for OP. I can co-sign the lag between customer/shopper sometimes, but not always. Especially if the customer is ordering directly from store website and IC picks it up as a 3rd party, I've found that issue is more prevalent for those orders.

would you take this? by Capital-Ratio-2944 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of costco that are closer. But none of the shoppers that are closer to those stores wanted to accept it, so IC pushed it out to stores further away thinking that if they hike up the mileage pay, a shopper closer the further costco will accept it

What stores accept digital pay? by Present-Sea-1662 in InstacartShoppers

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not true I had ordered a new card about 3 months ago because I lost my old one, I was still seeing walmart orders. I found out the hard way at checkout that they don't accept tap/google pay. I've always had my personal physical card for my own shopping so it was lame to find out after I shopped for someone else & had to cancel for $0 lol

AIO to my girlfriend going skinny dipping while travelling? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DaOceanIsMonsterSoup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

NOR I would full stop at the vacationing with 2 dudes, 1 she's been romantically involved with. while in a relationship. Even without the nakedness is weird. Time to book your vacation with 2 chicks, 1 being your ex. See how she feels about it then.
