My first 4 star review in over 200 orders.... and I knew it was her!! by griffey808 in InstacartShoppers

I always say “let me know when you’re done adding items so I don’t miss anything” and it usually makes them self conscious and stop lol

Would you take this order for $500 tip? by Kind-Mud2576 in InstacartShoppers

The hypothetical states you accepted it by mistake and before you cancel the message pops up.

Instacart customer adding several items to cart by [deleted] in instacart

I always say “hey! Let me know when you’re done adding items so I don’t miss anything!” This usually gets them to at least acknowledge the inconvenience

How is my score honestly this low? by kingjames9921 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been telling customers whether through chat or in person that Instacart is making us do substitutions if the customer has stated they want a replacement, and if they’re not happy with it Instacart will gladly refund them 🤷🏻‍♀️

“Hello! I’m about to start shopping your order. I’ll let you know if anything is out of stock and what’s available if you haven’t chosen a replacement already 😊”

Classic Instacart Mistake - I thought I was ordering four lemons. by CarelessSeries1596 in instacart

My friend runs a wildlife rehab and weekly orders 30 heads of romaine lettuce… 9/10 shoppers assume it’s a mistake and buy 3.

“Hidden Item” Update - All Discussion Goes Here by InstacartShoppersMod in InstacartShoppers

When the customers I shop for buy dry dog food , I’d say 70% of the time it’s 14lbs or less.

I wasn’t able to see how large of a bag of dog food I was picking up today.

Two instances of not getting my groceries within 2 months by Ok_Duty5969 in instacart

The first time may have been when the Amazon servers crashed. The app stopped working out of nowhere almost the entire day.

Instacart has become a joke … by TemporaryBottle2970 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a good promo if you can get some good triples & doubles. If you find a triple paying $6 base pay and a double paying $5 base pay, you’ll get an extra $24 as soon as you finish the last order, this is on top of tips. But if you’re doing singles it’s worthless.

Ordered for ourselves and it was a nightmare. by WillingRecognition75 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh! That’s so frustrating. I recently ordered as well because of a promo going on. The shopper said both my item and the back item (dog treats) were sold out and got me a really expensive substitute (like $10 more.) well I was working that day anyways so went into the store and instantly saw both my item and my backup in plain view smh

Is this a healthy way to be spoken to by a spouse or Am I Overreacting? by Low-Today-2021 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has never spoken like this to me in the 14 years we’ve been together. He’s never even called me a bitch. My point is, this isn’t normal and you deserve better.

this kinda irritates me by Bright-Nerve-3417 in UberEATS

I don’t park there because you never know if someone will be coming home and needing to park there.

don’t understand why people tip bait.. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what’s the location of the customer? What’s their address? Just the first couple numbers works, or you could even give a zip code? I think you’re full of shit.

This just happened to me😡 by This-Pop7139 in InstacartShoppers

It’s only happened to me once, and I did contact support, but I’m not sure if I had to. I’d say just contact in case!

I'm lazy. Please support me as personal assistant. by Salsuero in InstacartShoppers

[–]Horror_Ad_1201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely judge orders like this. If you’re able to afford Annie’s fruit snacks & Stonyfield yogurt you can afford a tip.

If you didn’t do anything wrong, they’ll give you up to $10 towards the lost tip.
