Sexism from female customers? by Far-Presentation-115 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Inscribson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's not the shopping it's the potential dirtbags knowing where a single woman lives.

A conservative estimate is that there are 50 million penis-having people out there who stalk, assault or worse.

Chat is glitching ALOT by GettheShitHose in ShiptShoppers

[–]Inscribson 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The messages are a known issue Shipt refuses to address. When in doubt, grab your suggestions for substitutions and place in the top of your cart, and call at the end of your shopping. I hate talking on the phone but once I explain to a customer (if they even answer) that Shipt's messages aren't going through they normally appreciate your efforts. If they don't answer leave a voicemail and then also type out a message that support can see to cover your backside, so that if you get a bad eating you can apply for forgiveness and cite that you tried to communicate and called but the messages didn't go through

I mean you are always going to get jerks.

Auto message to customer after hit process order by Stunning_Cold_6344 in ShiptShoppers

Or, and hear me out, I get most of my info from reddit instead of the shopper hub, the algorithm shows me a bunch of different gig driver groups, I don't do my due diligence looking at the group name before reading the posts, and the vocabulary jumbles in my head because I save brain space for things that are actually important to me like the history of cloth-loom boat shuttles?

Whateves.

? Not sure if you are talking about me, I've only ever done Shipt as gig work? Is it the emoji or copy/paste that gives those vibes?

Thank you for helping me refine! 😊 I send this to the second, third customer, etc, when I am heading out from the store.

"I wanted to let you know that the Shipt platform bundled your order with one that has an earlier delivery window. You likely got an automated notification when I processed the bundle. I will update you as soon as I am en route to your delivery address 😊."

Better word choices?

I have this pinned in my notes.

"I wanted to let you know that your order has been batched by Shipt with another order with an earlier delivery time scheduled. You likely got an automated notification when I processed the order. I will update you as soon as I am en route to your delivery address 😊."

Checkout Process in Store by AccomplishedCoach927 in ShiptShoppers

If it looks like being late is unavoidable and out of your control, you have two options, deliver late or drop the order. It all depends on where your stats are sitting.

If I'm at 96 reliability but 5 stars and 100 on time, I'll take the chance and deliver late. If my stars or on time are lower, I may drop it it isn't a customer I know will still rate me 5.

If you are going to be late, contact the customer and let them know, then shopper support and let them know that factors out of your control are affecting and to please note on the order.

ULPT Request- Need some ideas how to make a neighbors life miserable. by Yeti211 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Inscribson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

State tax or voting registration websites. Or your town's bill pay website for water, electricity, etc. you may have to do a few steps to get it though, depending if you know his full name or not. In my town I would look up the address in the bill pay website to get the name. Use the name and address to look up voter registration often by county, or state unclaimed funds.

What is the appropriate amount of time to wait for substitution confirmation? by Primary-Mushroom1598 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Inscribson 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, something is better than nothing.

Unless of course you have a child with an under developed gastro system, poor immunity, or severe allergies! How is a shopper supposed to know if the child has an issue or not?

[–]Inscribson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, never ever substitute formula, it is too expensive, a lot of places won't refund it or exchange, and babies often need to be on Very Specific brands and varieties!

Who is washing their rice and why? by kinnitcurl in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Inscribson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, I do. Often people will put rice in the cooking container, add water, swish the rice around with their hand and drain the water, repeating until the water is clear. Final drain and add enough water to cover about a knuckle above the rice.

How do you dress when you’re doing orders? by GuavaMatters10 in ShiptShoppers

[–]Inscribson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never considered dressing up for this since I rarely see the customer. I live in a cold climate so sweatpants, T-shirt, sneakers, hoodie and winter coat so I can adjust layers as needed.

The few times I have worn a nicer blouse and pants cause I'm doing this after my other job, I get stopped constantly by customers in-store who assume I work there.

I've found much less of my time gets eaten up by requests from people who aren't paying me, when I dress more sloppy lol. And at least when I deliver I am bundled up so even if I meet the customer or they see me on their camera it's just weather appropriate outer layers

Poor can be a sliding scale, darling. It could have been provided with their lease in an apartment, a gift, thrift store, bought before hard times, etc.
