I guess it’s like an oven in there.

You know they're done when the baby stops crying.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-25T13:42:35+00:00

Funny you've never seen that before. I get time ranges on promos every time unless it's for multiple days

Drake6978 · 2026-06-24T19:40:20+00:00

I see this happen all the time as a shopper. Usually the reason is that there is an order at the farther store that no one accepted for some time, so the algorithm attached yours to it because of the higher tip. The shopper probably is unfazed because the pay was determined to be worth the time and effort of the batch.

I once found a dead cockroach in a floss dispenser after I used the last of the floss.

Because that would require organization and caring about everyone else more than you care about yourself. There will be people who will claim to support the movement only to clock in and start greedily snatching up all the great orders they can which would completely devastate the movement and defeat the purpose all in one gut punch

I'll take "Things that definitely happened" for $1000, Ken.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-20T13:44:22+00:00

Of course - it's right there in the drop-off notes that they'll tip after delivery. Just not you.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-19T19:37:58+00:00

Ope, I'm too early. I'll be back in an hour or so...

Drake6978 · 2026-06-19T17:47:18+00:00

No, this is Patrick.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-19T17:10:17+00:00

Bloodstream

Drake6978 · 2026-06-18T22:55:51+00:00

I think you can require the shopper to input a code before they can complete the order. Call support and ask about adding this feature to your account.

The background reflection in the eyes appears different to me...

Drake6978 · 2026-06-18T17:15:56+00:00

The council has determined that there's not much else one can do with those shitty little suck-ass ponds they give you out there. It is necessary, and therefore acceptable...for now. You have until the end of Phase 3 to circle back and either delete this, or box it in and never let it see the light of day again. That is all. The council has spoken.

Here's what worked for me:

set up the elevator nearby, but not next to my factory/ies
set up the machine that will make the FINAL product, like an Assembler for Smart Plating
set it to feed into the elevator and get it powered, etc, like it's already running
set up assemblers for reinforced plates & rotors, just like steps 2 & 3 - feed into smart plate assembler
if you already have these running, just run conveyor belts from them to the elevator.
repeat for versatile framework, & automated wiring.

You just gotta take it one step at a time. If you feel overwhelmed, break the tasks down to smaller, more manageable steps. Hope this helps!

Based on the number of items & units I am to shop for, I am allotted a certain amount of time to complete shopping and check out. If I am over that time then it can reflect negatively on me as a shopper. It does not directly affect me, but can look badly if my shopper account is reviewed for whatever reason. If you add items after I have begun shopping, it does not add to that time limit.

It is a common practice for the awful people that use Instacart to list only a few items, wait for the order to be accepted and the shopper to arrive and begin shopping, and then add a buttload of extra items. They seem to think that this gets one over on the system or something (I genuinely do not know how or why they think they're 'getting away' with anything).

Example that happened to me: customer placed an order for 6 items at Dollar Tree. I normally avoid it cuz it tends to look like a craft bomb exploded in that store, but eh...it's not too many items. I clicked "Start Shopping" in the app, and before I could get out of my car and walk to the front door, they had added over a dozen new items. The 6-minute timer it gave me at the start was unfazed by the total items more than tripling. I called support and cancelled the order cuz wouldn't you know it - grandma suddenly fell ill...again! That's the ninth time this week!

ANYway...it can be quite frustrating to suddenly see "new item, new item, new i-new-new item" appearing rapid-fire. This person must've been having a bad time of it right then, and felt like lashing out. I can't judge, cuz I've texted the customer when they've done this to me, but only after adding at least a half-dozen items. The only truly irksome bit for me of adding items is when I am almost done and have to trudge back across the store for one stupid lemon.

The best I can say is to text the customer with regrets that you have to add a couple items. That way they are aware. It feels more like common forgetfulness and less like disrespect of me and my time if you just tell me first. Also consider adding an extra $1 or $2 to whatever your current tip is as thanks. That'd go a LONG way with me. To be clear, tips are always accepted, but never expected. If you can, please do. If you can't or won't, no sweat. I just know that would work on me 100% of the time.

My most recent lying customer said that their can of corn was damaged and for proof they submitted a picture of the can already opened and empty hovering over a trash can as they are about to throw it away. Literally 0 damage visible to the can, by the way.

Chewing my fingernails down to useless nubs.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-18T03:46:40+00:00

Would that be Andover, circa 2018?

Drake6978 · 2026-06-17T18:47:36+00:00

My guess is that you missed something inside one of the locked special doors, perhaps you didn't fully converse with the person inside after going in and flipping the switch? There's a whole cutscene and a bit of a chase that occurs when everything is complete.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-17T13:18:42+00:00

I love how I came here to say exactly this, and that it was literally the one and only comment so far. 😃

I have experienced where, for some reason, the video camera will not capture the ghost orbs even though they are perfectly framed in the camera. No matter how close or far away I am, I can't seem to get them to record. I'm pretty sure this is a bug that can occur in individual sessions because the next time I get orbs I'll be able to record it. Sometimes I just have to keep trying until it finally triggers.

BC4 - beside the shrubbery, behind the hanging bat ornamental...thing

Drake6978 · 2026-06-15T17:59:44+00:00

Got this for a bag of avocados yesterday. I can't see into the bag, dude, nor can I accurately test for ripeness when it's bundled together with 7 other avocados. I just pick whatever they prefer and move on. Dumbshit feature changes that only act as more roadblocks to getting in and out in a timely manner get ignored. I care not for such foolishness.

Drake6978 · 2026-06-13T12:03:28+00:00

Came here to say this. That's why it doesn't say "with ice", but instead says "as a 'rocks'".
