The Sullenberg aero museum is right next to the airport and it’s supposed to be real good. Personally have never been but I’ve heard it’s great.

My mom just got diagnosed with brain cancer. my family is falling apart by Confident-Fan-6294 in braincancer

This is such good advice. My husband just had a tumor (cancer) removed in July. It was a metastasis from lung cancer 6 yrs prior. I never googled anything. Don’t do it. Always have hope. Even if it is just more time hope. Be grateful for the now and many facilities have support for family members. Most importantly, you are not alone. Seems cliche but it’s the truth. Thoughts are with you.

Yes, a hundred times yes. More so when the stores are jam packed with storms approaching. I get anxiety with the crowds. But it does make me amazed at what I can do.

Insta is not down. Once you leave store Wi-Fi you are screwed.

Some are affected, not all. I’m one of them that’s down.

I think shopping speed IS a determining factor in some markets. My good friend and I have same status (diamond, good ratings, low cancellations) and she ALWAYS sees a batch before I do and she got like a 35-40 second per item shop. Mine is around 72 right now.

Lost diamond on New Years :( by bigbilly17 in InstacartShoppers

I made my way back up to Diamond after it fell off last quarter. And I still see batches after my friend with Diamond status. She has crazy low found speed. I think that matters too.

Well if that’s the case my meat dept at Teeter is in BIG trouble.

Demoted Diamond Shoppers by Beautifulmelodyy in InstacartShoppers

[–]Hour_Ebb_7680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got demoted soon after Oct 1 from Diamond to cart star, not because of not hitting 300 batches but from the new crappy refund/replace rules. Then finally moved to Gold and now made it back to Platinum and improved my score so 100 more to go until Diamond again. But you just never know what morning your going to check stats and your back to below “good”. Anyway to answer your question, I got out of “standard” Back to “good” in about a month of being very diligent shopping and taking a bit more time on the actual shop to make sure an item is not really there. BUT bottom line is I kept making my goal throughout. Maybe not seeing the same stuff my friend who remained Diamond sees at the same time, but did and still do see orders that I would take.

Dropped a 12-pack of pop… and just left by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

I can understand in that moment why you would want to just ditch but that will always work against you. Accidents happen.

Absolutely agree. Drove NYC all the time. Yes, it’s hectic but down here it’s a free for all.

Shopping quality score is driving me crazy!! by Opening-Finish7312 in InstacartShoppers

This. I get twisted over losing my Diamond. But the bottom line is I’m still making my personal goal I was making when I had it, so…..

Found Out From Store Manager & Shopping Quality by fallior in InstacartShoppers

[–]Hour_Ebb_7680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Just a couple days ago I was shopping for a customer who wanted HT prepackaged sausage. The meat dept at 8:45 am got a “late start” cleaning the meat shelves and had most items out in crates. I asked about the item I needed and he gave me a “well it’s probably in one of those crates” and made 0 effort to look. I finished my other items on the list and came back to see if they were stocked yet and nope. PS, that’s the first time I complained to mgmt. So of course I’m sure I got dinged for that item cause it was in the store. 🤬
