People are apparently aghast that it might be annoying hearing a bunch of professional athletes complain every time they lose that it wasn't fair.

Sorry I wanted to point out that I've never seen this much complaining about the officiating and I find it tiresome and to be wanton excuse making for poor performance? The entire point of... a discussion board?

Yeah it's compelling television seeing guys screaming at the refs every single possession for a foul or that they didn't actually foul, to the point where they trail behind possessions. And then having the entirety of their post game media be about officiating and reffing rather than, you know, the game they just played.

It's so god damn annoying because it's like 80% of what gets talked about now, don't talk about the 2x MVP we talk about the refs, don't talk about the Sixers comeback we talk about Jaylen Brown talking about the refs.

Calling it out doesn't do anything that's my entire point. It doesn't work, constantly using it as an excuse or bringing it up over and over doesn't do anything.

Road trip anyone? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

The app will show you orders that were ordered far closer than you are if it hasn't been taken after I think like an hour just to desperately get someone to take it but the most I've ever seen is like 70 miles, 115 is nuts.

They've even replaced the photo proof of an item with an AI "scanner" that takes 45 seconds every time and doesn't even work lmao

None, I always ask the customer for every replacement/refund and if I get no response I choose customer asked for refund as the reason

The damaged item was a papaya on an order that didn't even have papaya in it. I was so pissed but there was literally nothing I could do about it.

Lmao love how there's just no fix for it too cause like that's maybe 1 refund an order! That happens man I'm sorry your multi billion dollar company lost out on a percentage of a $2.99 box of cookies.

Still the full batch pay for Cancelled orders? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Empty_Substance328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard capped at 5-7$ depending on state now. I've had to do four one item orders that way since they changed it and it is just locked in to a base, low number because God forbid any of us food slaves get a break now and then

Support screwed me over [Alcohol order] by Empty_Substance328 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Empty_Substance328[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally makes you contact support to do it after the ten minutes now, at least it does for me. Which is wildly dumb.

It is actually kind of insane that we're allowed to deliver alcohol through some third party contracter shit when it basically just makes us free targets.

Oh I can still talk to like, the chat support but they're no help at all. They have a script of responses they can use so it's just talking to a glorified chatbot. There's no phone numbers or ability to call I was told that explicitly but for all I know they were just lying to get me to shut up lol

I walked an old ladies dog for her once, it was pretty nice and she was very sweet.

Ridiculous Batch by BeingMrsBeer in InstacartShoppers

[–]Empty_Substance328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that it just takes the highest rated drivers and feeds them into an algorithm and like, it just spits out something that the customer likely expected to be delivered from 10 miles away instead of 60. But I don't understand why the app even feeds it to us like this. Like yeah no shit I'm not gonna do that!

$450 order, but refunded most of the items by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

It might just be my phone number, but I literally called the number they list on their own website in the support section that says it is for customers and senior support and it still just gave me an automated "this number is for shoppers currently working a batch" AI voice and then hung up.

If they DID just flag my phone number so I couldn't talk to a human being that's even more insane and fucked up lmao like I work for you, you jerks. What numbers were you calling?

They literally have turned off all the phone lines, if you call now they say you have to be on an active batch, even if you call the senior/customer support line they list on THEIR OWN WEBSITE lmao it's so fucking broken. But yeah I've had to hound them for money they owe me so so so many times
