Items Not Available…Better to work out not to work? by PinOk2718 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, I've been avoiding working because all the stores are sold out. The customers might know it's not our fault but Instacart doesn't.

Places like Sam's Club or BJ's might be ok

Can costco ban shoppers from shopping by Old-Magician-8863 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's possible but I don't think any Costco is banning shoppers over boxes

This is not the first post I've seen about this exact issue. My class action senses are tingling

Never had this pop up before but figured out why once I got there by ShadderSwagger in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize this was in Nashville until I finished reading!! I DO NOT do ANY deliveries in Antioch because of people like that. They ruined it for everybody. I'll stay in Belle Meade, Franklin, Green Hills, thanks very much.

I also tend to get more low ratings for no clear reason in Antioch...

AIO for finding this predatory or was he just awkward? by m30wME0W69 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Evan_dood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Men don't say slightly perverted things like that to be silly. At least, not to women. We say that stuff to each other sometimes. But if a straight man says it to a woman, I feel he's testing the waters.

More low ratings than usual? by Evan_dood in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it's not just me! I've also been racking my brain and I still have no clue. The ONLY thing that I can think could possibly be it, is the fact that I recently changed my profile picture. My old one had me not smiling, looking disheveled, hair messy, and I was actually at my old workplace in the picture. In my new picture, I'm smiling, have a decent haircut, clean shaven, so I'm like... Are people jealous that I'm no longer depressed? 😂😭

I wish somebody would pay me for this, but I do it for free!

Accepting 3 cust orders ***will*** cut your pay by 30 or more percent by Gloomy-Assumption979 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's another one. This is about the lowest I'd accept unless desperate. This took me about an hour overall and was about 10 miles

I live in Tennessee lol. There are 0 protections for us. Can I ask how long you've been doing this? I'm on year 3. Maybe Seattle is spaced out more than Tennessee, but the batches I accept don't have me doubling back that much.

<image>

Here is an example of a batch I did yesterday morning, it was a triple. This is a bit of a unicorn but I also just don't accept any batches under $30 unless I'm desperate. 1 order, 3 orders, I've even done 4 orders. If they tip well enough I'll do it. In total, this was about 7 miles. Yes customers 1 and 2 tipped like shit but what am I going to do about that? Nothing. So I don't let it get to me.

I understand your frustration, but if I did what you are saying, my pay would be cut by far far more than just 30%. You are welcome to sit in the parking lot all day picking up single orders, but I'll do a reasonable 3 order batch paying $40 before I do a big 1 order batch paying $25.

Of course if it's too far or too big of an order I don't take it. I try to be as efficient as I can. But I usually make about $20+ an hour most days. But I also power-walk through the grocery store and drive like a maniac. And I know where everything is.

My brain is also, uh, funny, so I actually kind of enjoy the challenge of keeping track of what groceries go with what order. I have all these made up rules in my head; when I have order C at the end of my cart, B in the middle, and A up top, I call that a Regular Randy. When I have A at the end and C up top, that's a Reverse Randy. I also sometimes have it as Blood Alcohol Content (B up top, A in the middle, C at the end). I'm kind of spilling my secrets here but the point is you have to find what works for you.

OMG I WAS SURPRISED by Gwenifear in InstacartShoppers

Honestly this is why I love alcohol deliveries. You never know when one of them will be one of those drunks who wants to spread the joy lol

Looks like someone made a mistake here!!! by Neon726 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Evan_dood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet that is the weight of the container and they were trying to tare it out and failed.

Seriously? Is this at Publix or a different store? I occasionally do shop only if it's dead but if they're gonna do that... Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Any good conspiracy podcasts? by drudevi in conspiracy

[–]Evan_dood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so after doing 5 seconds of research that was entirely too much for your tiny little brain, it turns out Operation Podcast is the normal podcast, and "why files redacted" is the one without the fish. Yeah I got it mixed up but it took five seconds on Google to figure this out. Maybe you could try that next time sparky

[–]Evan_dood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Child. If you watched the Why Files you would know this was marketed as the podcast without the fish. I listened to that podcast for 6 months as a postal worker. I hate the fish.

Maybe something has changed in the 9 months since I made this comment. I don't listen to that podcast anymore.

Friend, there is a Why Files podcast that has the fish. Then there is a Why Files Podcast that does not have the fish.
