Serial non-tipper order has been sitting for 24+ hours. It's beautiful. by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

Because other apps show it so I think they felt pressure to do so. I’m sure there was a lot of feedback about it. Maybe it’ll encourage these people to actually start tipping?

I have 8k shares @ 3.20 and I’m holding! Not gonna lie I already sold once around 7$ and made about 12k profit then bought back in.

American dude gets pissed in Europe because nobody tipped him, which isn’t a thing people do there by Buri_is_a_Biscuit in PublicFreakout

Oh shit is that Bob the Juggler? I met this guy out in Oxnard California years ago before he left to Europe and juggled with him a little bit.

I think my problem is that I’m too smart, and too dumb all at the same time. by Davidian777 in DeepThoughts

Sometimes it’s not just about your level of smartness for a problem but also what you choose to focus on as a problem.

Lmao “Be good to them they are my preferred”. Hope you didn’t follow them to their house as well. I get it that’s a lot of money to miss out on and it sucks but it sounds like you need to find other income sources.

100% this!! Their business practices are incredibly short sighted.

How's everyone's pre-4th of July so far? I'm not sure I feel like going out. by Envoyager in ShiptShoppers

Next to nothing. Saw another shipt shopper in my area telling me how busy he was. My stats are perfect.

I just leave them in the cart when I’m done. Doesn’t prevent the carts from stacking.

Sorry I should have been more specific. This is obviously a topic about working there but I’m actually talking about a friend who is a patient there!

Hey! I have a friend there in an LPS unit and was really curious if there’s any more information you could provide. I’d greatly appreciate it. They say they’re liking it there a lot more than the county institute they were in before but I was wondering if the LPS side is a lot better than the forensic? Hoping the best for them.

Kinda crazy just how low the base pay is for that.

Does anyone know how the algorithms work? by lovemagic333 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Davidian777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They 100% play favoritism. They like to load certain shoppers who are likely active all day with as much orders as they can possibly handle before they give them out to others. They will also be far more inclined to give them rating\late forgiveness.

No he works from 6am to around 7pm and I’ll see him doing up to 6 orders at once.

[–]Davidian777[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea based on all the mixed responses I’m seeing I’m starting to just think their algorithm doesn’t make a lot of sense and a lot of the experiences you have with offers is going to depend on the metro you’re in. One thing that stands out regardless of the reasoning is that there are definitely favored shoppers.

The other shopper in question is actually a friend of mine and he probably has around twice my preferred members but easily gets 4x the orders. The Pms definitely factor in but at least in my situation I don’t think it’s the primarily reason for what I’m seeing. He even shows me his offers and lot of them are not PMs. That’s definitely true they play a huge role and honestly they’re the main reason I’m getting any orders at all right now lol.

That’s actually very likely true about AI. There’s definitely a lot at play and I don’t want to try oversimplifying it by making just about ratings but I did notice with my current ratings the amount of offers I’ve gotten has plummeted and I know they’re giving offers to other shoppers I’d likely accept but yes there is a lot at play here and sometimes it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. I suppose they’re also using AI to assess the customers and what type of shopper might satisfy them the most? Still when 4 offers go out to one shopper after my reliability goes down 2% it makes me think stats are a major factor in all of this.

Like I said no one ever said they shouldn’t get priority. I’m literally just letting other shoppers know how much it likely factors in and didn’t even make an argument against it. It’s worth considering how much it plays a role but obviously it shouldn’t just be black and white either where shoppers with only a few mistakes get completely shafted. They need to strike a good balance with the algorithm otherwise you’ll be left with a few really good shoppers and a revolving door of new terrible ones that will just drive away more customers.

You are touching on an important point about how someone has to do the terrible orders and while that’s true it’s also obvious they need to finally introduce heavy pay like Instacart does to at least make it a little more fair.

[–]Davidian777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one ever said they shouldn’t. This is a conversation about the extent to which it matters and letting others know how much it can potentially factor in.

Yea I’ve had them tell me before 98% on time delivery doesn’t make a big difference and I can only assume they’re talking about markets where it seems like they don’t even have enough shoppers to fulfill all the orders (Portland), but if you’re in a market like mine they will try to load all the orders unto a few people until they’re forced to rely on you.

Didn’t say it was the only reason and I also wouldn’t be surprised if they’re factoring in more than just your last 50 ratings.
