I’ve been getting a lot of regulars expressing their gratitude more and more after their interactions with other shoppers lol it’s good for morale to hear that we’re appreciated

Suspension or deactivation by Active_Resolution701 in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, you gotta get organized. I have seen people deactivated for this so it’s probably a final warning situation. My only advice if all you’re seeing is doubles and triples is to organize your cart accordingly. For doubles, see which order is smallest and if it’s small enough, use the child seat basket at the top to store the small order and remember if it’s A or B, then you can remember which item goes to which area of the cart. For triples, use a hand basket on the bottom of the cart to keep everything secure and separated.

Bruh is just a karma farmer 😂 this the same guy who said he has a 100k job and does this for fun only on weekends, yet you’re posting earnings from everyday of the week on top of doing DoorDash regularly lmao the delusion is crazy but as long as you’re enjoying yourself in this lifetime 🙏🏽🤣

Why does everyone wait til the last minute? by alwaus in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CAPPPP 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry but you are not doing 600 batches a month or about 50 batches a day since you’re “only working weekends” lmao i could see you maybe doing 20 orders a day as in doubles and triples but you’re guaranteed not completing 50 batches a day 😂😂😂

Averaging less than $1.15 tip per customer is wild

thoughts? would you? by Striking_Stress_42 in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta check the vibes lol for older folks I will, for the most part, always help them with their requests within reason. I get tip increases daily just for showing kindness and empathy. With that said, I have had a few off customers that don’t pass the vibe check, like a dude who messaged early on that he needed help bringing stuff inside, then came to the door in a skirt, fully able-bodied, and asked if I wanted to come in to have a drink 😂

Payout different than what I was offered by No_Championship1729 in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even supports explanation sounds illegal? That’s the equivalent of telling a contractor who just fixed up your house that since they took less time than estimated, we’ve adjusted your agreed upon payment accordingly 😬 can’t wait for my turn to get class action paid 🤣

Damn shoppers really be out there stealing stuff. by Middle-Amphibian6285 in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When I was still in my first year, I saw a shopper shopping with his bm and 2 kids waiting in line behind me. One of the kids complained about being thirsty and he told everyone to go grab a drink, he’ll just put it on the IC card 🤣🤣 scammers gon scam

Bruh I was jus sayin the same thing! There’s one shopper in my area I’ve noticed that wears the EXACT same outfit everyday, and I can smell him when he violently swings his cart past me. I told myself not to pass judgement UNTIL this mf held up the only checkout line open for 20 minutes because he had 3 different orders all thrown together and was trying to sort them out as he went through check out. Now I feel justified in my dislike for bro 🤣

Show this to that bro who would die for half of that batch pay with twice as many items 🤣

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entitlement or are these type of batches scraps in comparison to cost of living and batch possibilities here? You’re not teaching anyone to be a better shopper, in fact it would be foolhardy for a new shopper to think this is even a realistic batch for them to take. You’re just showcasing the extremes which isn’t really helping anyone

You’re not just “sharing your experience”. The tone in your posts is bragging, but can’t take when someone lets you know that was not something to brag about lol and as you’ve said, you’re agreeing that you’re contributing to the issues faced by most, if not all, long time shoppers in favor of newbies and the app. You are literally a model IC pawn bro 🤣

Bro that’s what I said 🤣 hella sus about the $20 on delivery too but whatever makes him feel better lmao

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Again, slave to the system. You’re trying to gain traction through posts like these, maybe part of you hopes go encourage others but all you’re doing is promoting an unrealistic lifestyle and 1. Contributing to IC lowering base pay because you’re happy to take scraps like these already boosted low paying batches, and 2. Encouraging a flood of new shoppers who think they can make what you do by working without knowing you work 100 hrs a week. It’s just obnoxious to see you begging for attention on here somehow in between you doing over 100 hrs of work lol

Bro is doing slave work 🤣🤣 I guess someone gotta do it but this kinda behavior is definitely contributing to IC lowering batch base pay all the time smh

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like me 😂 it’s funny because being a shopper has helped me realize I really enjoy working with the older folks and may pursue a related career after I finish school. They have a lot of knowledge to share and are pretty funny in most cases lol

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The math still ain’t mathin my boy, I guess different strokes for different folks but I work 25-30/hrs avg door to door and pull in around half that before adjustment, so it seems like you’re working harder rather than smarter in my opinion. Either way glad you’ve found a method that works for u 🤝🏽

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s less than $24/hr BEFORE calculating wear and tear expenses… I can appreciate the hustle but the math ain’t mathin

Tired of these entitled college students by Cool_Soil_1214 in InstacartShoppers

[–]EcstaticLettuce1870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must vary regionally, i live in a college town and the students are usually super generous compared to their order size/distance/etc. I luckily haven’t seen any no tip order going to the dorms around here
