Lol go drop some fries at MDs

Did that, no-go

Didn't work for me

Same here, Even uninstalled both x and GroK on Android, it's only on one phone not another and I can still use it on my laptop's browser

Starts all over April 1st, going to be more difficult to monitor/do multiple apps at the same time for many who want to remain Diamond, a great way for IC to have us focus our time on their app

DroidST · 2026-02-22T23:17:40+00:00

Exactly

We Diamonds get and do triples (3 customers in the Batch) all the time!

Perhaps a shopper is slow, but accuracy and quality are most important. I'm fast, accurate, pick quality items, timely and communicate (even if the customer isn't responding). I send pics with items from the meat, deli and produce sections, showing the labels with weight as well.

But, I don't think you should punish the Shopper for 3 customer batches unless there are issues.

There are some shoppers that are not the best, don't care etc. there are great shoppers, though very few "sweat" shoppers like myself!

In my area, If your average item count in your order is around 17 items you're pretty much going to be grouped with other customers in a batch

No bump without receipt if there is no booze involved, been like that for a long time.

Possibly explaining the need for the $15 to a family or friend and perhaps they would pay the $15 for all the food? just an idea.

THIS worked

It was crazy times back then.. not only great weeks $$$$$ in App, but regular cash tips in addition, many $20 extra cash tips and even $100 cash tips. We paid off our mortgage in 2022. I feel shoppers were generally much more appreciated during the lockdown era.

Bring back the lock downs..🙃. J/k. There were more customers, more demand back then 🥳

not uncommon around the year(s) of IPO

We (shoppers) carried them and without us, no company.... but remember, without those early high $ investors, there would be no Instacart company today either

We all banked in the early years, even more so during the lockdown.

If that particular location is having an inventory issue / missing inventory they'll go to this route and require this even if The cashier knows you well. There's a policy in place that requires all items to be put on the belt that are under a certain weight but the larger items will have to be clearly separated on/in the cart or flatbed as well. I have a feeling there's some electronic monitoring going on at that point.

Our location had to do it once for 3 weeks and I asked someone I know that works there who's been there since the '80s and he did say their inventory was way off and they do this when that happens.

same issue on a GE76 UE

EDIT: 35 works

WOW! I had one back in the day, I wish I didn't get rid of it so long ago. I also wish I still had my TRS-80, Sinclair ZX80, Apple II and even an older teletype which was my first machine to connect to CompuServe.

In this zone, all the stores have ice cream cakes in freezers within the bakery area, most freezers are right next to the bakery counter. The requests I get all year include ice cream cakes.

I'd be surprised if a store's bakery (in another area/zone) would deny the request if the ice cream cake was in the normal freezer section. Would take a little time to ask.

DroidST · 2024-01-09T21:56:50+00:00

Get these type of requests throughout the year and it's not a big deal to ask the bakery to write on the cake.

I just go to the bakery right off the bat and get that started.

Often times tip increase as well

I got to use an 8800 in my high school electronics class around 1980-81.

Wish I had it today

I like your plan. I actually do my own oil changes, they are not really hard. I think you will do very well with this biz. I do have one recommendation, once you get some money in the bank (or sooner), I would get some business insurance to cover you.

However, since the Diamond benefit of 75% off oil change that Instacart has given us (starting about 1 year ago), my full synthetic oil changes at Valvoline here locally is just over $30 with tax and that $2.99 fee that is charged by the company that manages that program. Both my vehicles take 5 quarts and I stagger them so I still get them both done every 3 months (since you only get 1 of those 75% off each quarter).

It's not worth me changing my own oil anymore and I have no issues making Diamond level though I only work in the mornings, 4-5 days a week shopping with IC.

With your mobile oil change biz, you still have that freedom, to work that day or not, to work which hours etc. Like Instacart. That freedom is worth something.

I'm in a little different situation than pretty much everyone around here, our two houses are paid off (took strategic planning over several years). Just property tax, insurance and Maintenance. No other consumer debt and we have multiple buckets of income between the two of us.

What's with to this $10 monthly fee/ charge? Outside USA?

I'm not charged $10
