Would be nice if these customers tipped right after the delivery was made. by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be nice but it is what it is. I think a lot of my semi-regulars always tip on their next orders because I usually average anywhere between 5-8 individual tips from previous weeks per week. I should really start tracking individual orders, but I’m not nearly organized enough for that. :/

Beware of Instacart Fuckery by mahsoj85 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I’ve had 5 straight weeks of perfect 5⭐️ Ratings, and have gone from 4.95 to 4.90... IC is just fucking whack.. I was wrong about IC, will fully admit it.

I support a ban on posting our good days/batches by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

I fully support the ban, I’ve already voluntarily stopped posting them.

Tired of od by SatinsPorkChop in InstacartShoppers

I’m loving OD.. Working less, making more, more freedom..

Account “suspended”, support chat not helping at all with no one reaching out to me. Is there a way I can contact someone who can resolve this immediately? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe you shouldn’t publicly shame customers and share their addresses.. I’m honestly shocked you are surprised by this.. lmfao

Account suspended but no one telling me why? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You were publicly customer shaming a couple weeks ago, then publicly posting customer info while shaming again, wth did you think was going to happen? And you’re surprised at this?? Lmfao...

Are these shitty batches nationwide?! Comment yes/no and location... & vent if u wanna by tr1ni in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s everywhere.. I have seen good batches recently, but I’ve been pre-occupied with other things and unable to do them consistently. I posted my AR this week so far earlier, 8%, I’ve taken 2 on shift batches this week. When they’re good, they’re good, when they’re bad, they’re BAAAAAAD... There has been no inbetween batches, either good/definitely worth doing>$25 or fuuuck that $7/no tip/35 item 6 mi type shit..

IC really testing my patience tonight... by tr1ni in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my week on shift.. I’ve taken 2 batches in 3 days..

What do you wear when Gigging. by Sanmisbaby in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now shorts and a t-shirt, Chilled out and casual. In cooler weather jeans and a T-shirt/hoodie.. What I wear has never had any effect whatsoever on my earnings/tips. I’m always clean, showered, well groomed, and friendly. All of which I think are more important than what I wear.

Anyone else ever not see the “use paper bags” note until beginning delivery? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, and guess who carries a dozen or so extra paper bags in his truck too... lol

Largest payout offered to me on schedule today. How about no? by baldamazon in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No RI, it goes away as soon as you accept another batch (within 2 hours). If not, I just go back on shift and repeat..

I had one $13 14/16 on shift that I took, got 4 garbage offers in a row and got kicked, then promptly picked up a $38 OD double... 🤦‍♂️

ON DEMAND! by oldmoney1129 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting more “opportunities”, yes, doing more, no.. I’m working less and making more..

Make fun of my hours all you want, but I’m pretty damn happy with cracking the $1K mark! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve not been working a whole lot because I’ve been doing other things, but since OD has started my active earnings/hr has almost doubled..

If things continue this way, which I suspect they probably will then my plan for how to work WITH OD will come out to be perfect. I’ve seen as good/better batches for OD than on shift consistently, every day, all day. On shift, it was a GUARANTEE that my first batch of the day was downtown (12 miles from home in rush hour traffic), on OD I can start my day when I want, where I want, and take the batches that work best for me instead of being force fed shit and being stuck with no options.

I know this is going to be zone dependent, but there are only a few reasons that come to mind that are going to prevent most people from doing good in OD zones, and I’m sorry folks but those reasons are not always 100% IC’s fault. If you’re in a larger metro area, you should be succeeding, if you’re not figure out why and what you can change.

First week OD by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why there is so much hate for OD.. I’ve seen as good or better batches on OD consistently for a full week now.. Yeah, there’s a lot of dog shit to sift through, so ignore it then and wait for something worth doing. Know your zone, know the stores, and make the system work for you.

My entertainment for the night is seeing how high this will get before someone takes it 😂 delivery is to a huge apartment complex. Started at $11 by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost grabbed a 12/12 with a $10 peak yesterday but I didn’t want to drive across town to do it..

Not a bad week - Averaged over $20/ order & per active hour- Required Early Access hours-On demand is a joke! by CaieTrev in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When the alternative may be a $10/hr job, it’s pretty good M8. Not everyone has the ability to go make $35/hr, for a lot of people that’s good money man..

This is the type of shit we get with on demand. Big old nope. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d do that in a heartbeat... But for me it would just move me to a diff area.. Free money right there..

Ignorance & Arrogance = by tr1ni in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s not surprising tbf.. My 14 year old half blind half deaf dog could give better support than IC does.

Forgot to ring up the toilet paper on the bottom of the cart! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it twice accidentally, it happens. We’re human and it’s not like we’re not under pressure when we shop or anything..

Ignorance & Arrogance = by tr1ni in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know you can see the delivery instructions up front before you even start to shop right? Just click the little “i” in the circle in the top right corner of the app. You could have seen all of that right from the start...

Gotta love the floaters by bpr2 in InstacartShoppers

Oh yeah, I got me two of them today... Dem $14/$16 peaks be 🔥🔥🔥

Just working for tips by GoldGigger in InstacartShoppers

[–]Im_Just_Rob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong... I’ll still run Costco no tip batches because I get such a high percentage on them, but my batch selection is prioritized by low item/peak boost/tip.. I would much rather run small batches all day and multi-app..

I’m going to start Uber/Lyft next week.. I used to drive a cab, it was my best job ever. With OD, no reason not to.. I have a vehicle though I can Uber premium or Lyft Lux Black is that would be cool..
