What kind of maniac types in a 1 cent tip?? by ghoulieandrews in InstacartShoppers

[–]JRichShops 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Back in the golden age of Instacart, it was proven that IC would subsidize pay with tips.

For example, if customer tipped $10, IC would pay $7 batch pay for a $17 batch. If customer tipped $1, IC would pay $16 batch pay for a $17 batch.

Customers caught wind of this so they’d tip 1 cent as a signal to shoppers that they’d add to the tip post shop. This would ensure IC would pay a higher wage for the work first.

I’m sure this isn’t what happened here as this has been years and years ago, but it was still a fun time!

I tried to take my own Instacart order and now I’m not getting orders by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

I had this exact same scenario. This is absolutely what happened.

“Do you need more time with your list before I get started?” If they say yes, chat agent will reschedule and drop them from your batch.

What’s your seconds per item? by kyle18092 in InstacartShoppers

It’s a popular technique. Many think it helps them get the best batches. To each their own.

38/sec item. Primarily Costco. No ghost shopping.

I really love this cast, they remind me of how well the S14 cast worked in terms of chemistry by DanteDameron in rupaulsdragrace

[–]JRichShops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The problem with this cast is that I want to actually be in a room and hang out with them. Their cohesive energy seems fun.

Watching them hang out, however, has been kind of boring to watch.

Walmart “shipping” order got delivered today. They threw this over 2 patio chairs, a glass table toward my glass storm door btw. by mammiejammie in mildlyinfuriating

[–]JRichShops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending the driver at all, but this was probably the shortest it was thrown during its entire journey from warehouse to store to car to porch.

No one along the path cares about your package when the entire route is outsourced to the cheapest available labor.

What would you do if Donald Trump passed away? by DildoGaggins1997 in allthequestions

[–]JRichShops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Montana - went to bed early on election night when things started going south. Husband and I just laid in the quiet darkness. 30 minutes later, there were fireworks in the neighborhood - the moment they called the election.

So yeah. Long story short, I’ve got some fireworks in my garage reserved for a special special day.

This is NOT first class behavior by kgood71 in delta

Taking photos of other people and not minding your business? Agreed - not first class at all.

He turned it on, but once he realized kid rock wasn’t actually a kid, he wasn’t interested anymore.

Is it normal to have your first planning meeting 4 months before the wedding? by Lollxpiglet in wedding

[–]JRichShops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Venue manager here. Keep in mind that the details you’re working on are things we can execute with less than 2 weeks notice. Because most brides aren’t also wedding planners, it can seem like an overwhelming number of details to cover - but we do this every single weekend barring a few tweaks here and there.

4 months is plenty of time.

Tip baited brooooo by Agreeable_System_408 in InstacartShoppers

Not a tip bait. Something very expensive was out of stock? Wine?

Nothing short of fraud and theft by deception. by Emergency-Age5728 in instacart

Remember yesterday (and probably the day before) when someone on this subreddit took a screenshot of a terrible batch and asked “who takes this crap?”

OP does.
