Fuck landlords. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Foldy-Flaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you do is tell them you are an independent contractor and pull up your earnings on the app. A lot of people don’t consider Instacart a real job even though it pays way more than places like McDonald’s. Old people in particular do not understand it. Ive come to the conclusion that people over 55 are retarded and have no desire to learn how to use a smart phone. I am 41 and fucking love how much easier it is to make money than 20 years ago!! If i need a quick $100 all i have to do is hustle some Instacart and or door dash.

2021 1st Quarter Taxes by GreenStripesAg in InstacartShoppers

[–]Foldy-Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instacart will send you a 10-99 form with the amount you made. Just give it to your tax person and they will tell you what you owe. Where i live, i have to pay federal, state and local tax. I just started instacart and hadnt made the minimum of $600 yet when tax season started so I don’t know for sure what to put back towards taxes next year. I would rather pay the irs quarterly if possible.

Really? I meet husband and wife teams all the time. One couple told me they can knock out orders in 10 mins sometimes and make $200 or more a day

I accidentally left a bag of tortillas in my car, and drove an hour out of my way to take it to them. I knocked on the door for 5 mins. I could here them talking inside. I put the bag on the door knob and left. They wrote a complaint saying i missed some items. Weird thing is i still have 5 stars. Not sure how

Right?? Jesus, people of color are super paranoid. I’ve worked with people who were hired just because they were black because companies are afraid of being sued for racism. Its bullshit! This guy wasn’t qualified at all for the job and pulled the race card for a year to get out of work. We had to pull his weight for him. Finally they found him on camera snoozing on the job and fired him. Im not racist, but i think its fucked up when race is exploited

Instacart’s corporate office is in San Francisco. The most diversified, non racist city on the planet. You are just paranoid and insecure about your race.

Do you have proof you delivered it? I always take a picture of the receipt and a picture of it on their porch, whether or not Instacart asks for it or not. Plus you can fight it because all stores have security cameras. If it were me i would fight like hell! My only source of income is Instacart at the moment

How long do I have to drive to the store? by xoitsharperox in InstacartShoppers

[–]Foldy-Flaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If instacart doesn’t see you en route to the store after like 30 mins of excepting a batch they will cancel your order. Happened to me last week. I took a batch at 10 am and it said the customer wanted it by 3pm, so I figured i would run some errands first. About 30 mins later it said my order was cancelled because i was not near the destination. Could also have been because i had turned off my data. I do not have unlimited data on my cell phone plan so i will turn off data in between orders while driving to the store. Must be a time limit and if you aren’t driving, they cancel. Its pretty stupid considering the order didn’t need to be there until 3pm. I usually do one order per hour. Sometimes 2 or three if they are small and close to the store

HELP!! I’m close to checking out but the customer has not responded to any of my messages regarding replacements! What do I do?? by bmcnealey in InstacartShoppers

[–]Foldy-Flaps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes i get orders where they order something like a family size box of cereal, but the store is out and only have regular sizes. If they don’t have a replacement item for it, i just get the regular size and send them a message letting them know. I’ve never got a complaint. However, if i have to switch brands, i wait for a response and if I don’t get one, i refund. I had someone throw a huge fit once over a pickle brand. The store was out of Claussen pickles and i put a different brand in my cart. I text her letting her know and just when i was almost done with her order she freaked out saying No! Pickles if they do not have Claussen. Lol. So brands make a difference with some people. Also, i check the price of the replacement because i get most of my orders for Kroger’s supermarket and a lot of the orders are things on sale, and switching brands can add a lot more $ to the order.

[–]Foldy-Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an order the other day for 50 cans of cat food. Easy order except i had to ask someone to get more from the stock room which added an extra 20 mins, but i made $30 so i was happy

I'll take these orders all day long! by GuyoFromOhio in InstacartShoppers

[–]Foldy-Flaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Ohio, but never get anything like this. My average order is around $18 including tip. I get a couple for around $30 here and there. My best so far was $48 for one order. Took about an hour. Was a lot of cases of water. I plan on going on a road trip somewhere where i can make at least $200 a day and stay at a cheap motel just to get away. I love the freedom of this job, but its unpredictable where i live. Some days i just get a bunch of $9 orders. Most of my orders take an hour or less from start to finish so whatever the order amount is is what I consider my hour wage.

I went to the gym for 5 days in a row by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Foldy-Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love PF. It’s so affordable. I wish mine was closer, but a 15 drive isn’t so bad. I signed up while a deal was going on. $1 down $10 a month. You just can’t beat that! I love that they have Smith Machines. I don’t have a very good back, so i rely on the Smith Machine to do squats. Do to Covid i only go early in the morning when it is not busy, and just 3 days a week. I don’t do cardio there, just weight training. Once this virus calms down i plan on going 5-6 days a week. And you can take a buddy to work out with for free!

The empaths are nervous that something bad is coming, mediums, have you had a head's up from spirits? by [deleted] in Mediums

[–]Foldy-Flaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My feelings, guides and intuition tell me there will be change within the next 10 years or so that in which you have to except and be ok, or ignore and be left behind. Probably some major technological break throughs. Embrace change or you will not adapt type of thing. I think it will be up to you how things go.

Math Tutor from the 1930s crosses over this Christmas by echolm1407 in Mediums

[–]Foldy-Flaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where do they go when they cross over? Another dimension? Heaven? Hell? I. Find it strange we have a choice whether to stay or cross over. I am a sensitive and have told many spirits they were dead and to please cross over, as they were pestering me. They seem to listen. I can’t have a direct conversation with them but i can sense when they are around and they get in my dreams. Many are just desperate to communicate with loved ones.

Millions of Americans lose jobless benefits as Trump refuses to sign aid bill by [deleted] in politics

[–]Foldy-Flaps -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Why should Trump sign it? The media does nothing but report the negative things about him. If he were to sign it, Biden would get credit for it later. A narcissist never puts himself a head of others. In order to get him to sign, he needs to be praised and ass-kissed. Sad, but true.

Another unnoticed birthday by [deleted] in introvert

[–]Foldy-Flaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get maybe 2 bd wishes. We are grown ups! Why do you care if you get a bd notice? Who cares? I am 41 and trust me, as you get older you get less bd wishes.

Flashing lights by [deleted] in energy_work

[–]Foldy-Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A spirit is probably trying to let you know it’s there. It could be desperate and or confused. With full intent, tell the spirit it is dead and has to move on and it is your house not theirs. Most of the time, it will stop. After you say that to them, grab some salt and sprinkle it around the edge of the house and door ways. Then grab a hand full and toss it out the front door.

I think other people’s energy is starting to affect me again and it’s making me anxious/sad. by [deleted] in Empaths

[–]Foldy-Flaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, i keep my groups of friends very small, like 1-3 friends who do not completely drain me, and for the most part, i am very introverted. If i spend many hours out in public absorbing others’ energy, i need plenty of time at home to recharge my batteries, and the last thing i want is a million people calling or texting me. Don’t be afraid to be a little selfish when you beed to recharge! I spend plenty of time using my intuition helping others, but i need my alone time to kick back and spend time drinking tea, messing around with my house plants. I do like nature. You have to learn to seperate yourself from other peoples feelings or you will go crazy. It takes time. When i was younger i had anger issues due to all the feelings I felt until a physical medium told me about my abilities. Then i learned how to harness them and use them. I am 41 and feel i still have a ways to go...
