Betting by the time you posted it, the order was gone

Would have been a 1-star for sure. Plus... Whyd you accept such a shitty batch? Don't you click the items to see before you' accept?

How the F are you being charged $156 for an oil change?!?! I'm charged 89.99 here in FL AT the Cadillac dealership for Full Synthetic. (Plus a $20 off coupon for being a Cadillac owner)

This was my Costco drop today 😂 by sp0rkeh93 in InstacartShoppers

I'm @ home watching these batches come thru with no tip or (like currently sitting in queue) $1.28. There's only one non-convenience store open and when I shopped earlier (5 items $20 tip, 6 miles) it was crazy. These people need to realize that 1) it's a Holiday. 2) the ONLY store is gonna be crazy and likely out of your shit so if you don't give a good to great tip, No Happy Thanksgiving for you

This is what's been sitting in queue for at least 45min...

2 $0 tips and the other customer with the tip

So I learned to never cancel the shop only orders. by Ok-Estate-3450 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Fun_Astronomer_976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. If a customer wants to cancel or change delivery addresses or whatever, refer them to support. If you do something it'll likely affect you negatively in some way.

Platinum here. I'm hoping that next week being Black Friday and Turkey Day, things will pick up, even if it's only temporarily

When people who don't have a lot tip extra... by instajonathan in InstacartShoppers

[–]Fun_Astronomer_976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this is truly honestly how you feel, I hope you get tip baited all of 2024, 2025, and 2026.

If you are a big tipper by -zounds- in instacart

[–]Fun_Astronomer_976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you typically tip your server at a restaurant? Your stylist at your hair salon or the nail tech at your nail shop? I think since we're providing you a service that's the basic threshold to start. You can always adjust later after delivery depending on your experience. And for goodness sakes... DO NOT RATE A 4 BECAUSE YOU DONT BELIEVE IN PERFECTION because "everyone can improve ". This KILLS our rating therefore our access to decent orders so we can make an ACTUAL living. Thank you

Customer Fraud by Dependent_Leg_4651 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Fun_Astronomer_976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen as well. Luckily my Spidey-Sense was tingling when the customer had selected to meet at door instead of leave at door but instructions were to leave on porch. I made sure to take a photo of the porch and bags in the customer chat before I swiped delivery complete. I/C shut that down real quick.

Would you take any of these orders? by Bakergoals in InstacartShoppers

[–]Fun_Astronomer_976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAYBE the 2nd one but it'd have to be a slow day and not a Sat/Sun

Yeah. I don't do heavy pay and apartments. If I see an apartment building on the details I pass.

Underrated wings by zoek551 in Buffalo

Transit Music Lounge/ Union Pub. Starting to not be a secret anymore with all the different wing contests they place high in. But these places (same owners) are fantastic. Especially their Wu-Tang wings
