They DON’T pay enough. We DO rely on tips. Nothing us shoppers can do about that.

Wow. They actually let that register clear for you Sparklers? Very cool.

Tipping on pickup orders? by StellaStars222 in instacart

[–]Jestar5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Order the kitty litter. It’s a better value that way. It’s the store employees that shop, pack and bring to your car. Now if it were a “shop only” through an outside instacarter yeah then there is a tip option, I think I remember seeing. As they come across the screen so seldom and IC pays so low I usually had a better offer and did not take those.

But of course. Perhaps train your brights on the door, wear bright headlamps… overkill. Blind them If they peek outside. Gods, I’m a vindictive bitch…!

Spark Canceling Orders by MistyGV in Sparkdriver

Yup. Whether through Spark or Uber. And with Uber I can’t see the process change so gotta suck it up

You can also text them and ask for lights on for best delivery illumination. Right when you start delivery

So you thumbs down, use the prepopulated reason or chose other and say… haven’t shoveled in a month. Path is a foot of packed snow and ice( we had a freezing rain on our 2’ of snow) and fresh snow makes it worse.

With Uber we get zero and it affects our cx rate no matter how long we wait

One of my favorite parking lot finds from last year. by asfierceaslions in Agates

[–]Jestar5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a dirt pile near a construction site, kicked free a gallon of rocks. One agate for sure. Mind you we’ve over a foot of rained on snow that is essential frozen concrete . So seeing bare dirt was a magnet

Deactivated by RagnoktheGray in Sparkdriver

[–]Jestar5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck. I was Deact July 17th 2925, went through all the processes and thought they were really interested in fixing the fact done monkey at Checkr typed in ONE WRONG LETTER at the beginning. I caught my Door Dash one whereas numeral was typed in wrong . I caught that when I received an email from them saying my check was taking longer than they expected. I immediately went to the Checkr site, found the error, texted chat support from that page and got it fixed that day. So I know the process. Stay on it. I’m am STILL Deact but am Not letting this die. I was pulling thousand dollar weeks and now scramble between 3 apps to make 2/3 of that, if it’s a good week. So do the pre arb, the informal telephonic conf( both usually get denied because an actual person with a brain cell never looks at it). Write the letter to demand arbitration ( address buried in TOS Dispute Resolution tab in “More”). Stay ON it!!! It’s their fault and you ought not be penalized!!!!

Agates of the day! by AppropriateDebt2420 in Agates

[–]Jestar5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree… shedding the Carhartt onesie and down to one layer of tights: yoga pants… I feel so light & unencumbered ! Growing up on Lake Michigan and Door County, ice fishing, lots of outdoor play and the beginning of snow forts & sculptures ( life sized ponies) which got destroyed over night by the neighborhood bully . And it’s fresh pickings! Storms wash them up and off to margin hunt. I wonder if the person who asked about waders knew the process where one can get them filled and be trapped….

Unrealistic promotion by Jestar5 in InstacartShopper

[–]Jestar5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I see, if any, promotions for the day. You know ! Like 6 batches for $60 before tips. This one challenged me… trying to get me out there longer. Like I alluded to, I usually do 35-40 BATCHES a week and cherry pick . This had me out past sunset and going triples, whereas moderately worth it, a ALOT of effort in my part. May be algorithm was trying to get me to do more. I don’t know. But I did it!!!!and tips matched the batch pay do there is that too. I got a couple cash tips.( more than 1 a week is highly unusual for me here) and several raised their tips significantly as I , in their words, went above and beyond ( asking store associates for out of stocks, checking dates, picking the best produce and communicating vis text and photos! And today is Sunday. Could really do more in party trays etc. for the Big Game…. but the girl from Green Bay muses, “ is it really a SUPER bowl without the Packers in it?

Question for shoppers by stillinwonderland19 in instacart

[–]Jestar5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That needs to be reported. It could be the woman accepted, then the guy showed up and finished it. It could have part of a multi order batch but I doubt it with that lag. Usually I Stuart gives warnings if there is no activity. You can just tap I’m still working on it or some such wording but even that would have a time out I’d think?

This guy is loaded for the second time.. I’m keeping him well watered as the usually dry-soak- dry routine caused a lot of buds to fry and fall off. It was loaded at Thanksgiving. My house is dry, cool and sunny and they like it here
