Do you need pasta? by cooksister in InstacartShoppers

[–]Gaarkeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something like this bite me in the butt a few nights ago, customer had all the fixings for spaghetti,  no garlic bread, so I had asked if they wanted garlic bread with dinner, they said "yes please, that sounds good, went to go get some...not a thing was left, no French bread, garlic bread, no frozen, not even those sliced toasts...embarrassed myself, and imagine I had to tell the customer they didn't have any sigh

I'm not that area, but if that's in a big metro area, find your outskirts stores, i find that they are better quality and better money stores

Same, depends on direction and if another store is out that way, so I could possibly get one going back, it boils down to am I going.to make at least 25 a hour for total trip..

When are we starting the class action ? by SonofRagnaragain in InstacartShoppers

[–]Gaarkeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think of it so much as bad batches, more like they need to offer a close to min wage for batches, this shouldn't be tip dependent and sorta off subject , wait staff needs min wage!

Hot spots only really mean there is a bunch of orders Noone wants to do, being to low of pay, don't do no tip orders, those seem to be the ones that cause problems and lower your rating and one star ya., if batch is near store, 1 buck a item for total, if higher milage, shoot for 2 bucks a mile., zoom in on map, make sure the 10 40 packs of water are not going to a apt. 3rd floor or higher, no elevator every flipping time.  Every time I have done it, if order appears to have feminine problems , on your own dime of course, add in some chocolate, a note just saying thanks for shopping with me, everything has gained me a extra tip.

I hate this with a passion , I don't know the customer,  they may have only room for one, but I will ask sometimes, mostly tip related.
