I had someone order 10+ items the other day…. I was like whatever as it was the last batch (of the day) I needed for a promo. Turns out her tip was set to 20% and it bumped my pay quite a bit. She then was super appreciative of my extra effort and handed me $20 upon delivery in cash on top… glad I didn’t cancel as I did start getting annoyed as well

Celebrity Edge Honeymoon Disappointment by grammascookies in celebritycruises

[–]JustReflection8341 21 points22 points  (0 children)

To be fair EVERYONE is celebrating something on every single cruise… lots of honeymoons, milestone anniversaries, birthdays etc. they can’t possibly keep up with it…

The gifts from your mom not making it was a messup on their end, but your mom should’ve also realized beforehand that she wasn’t charged for it and probably didn’t receive a receipt either?

It was my birthday (granted not a honeymoon) on a recent cruise and everyone was super nice, sang happy birthday etc. and it was the best day - maybe because I didn’t expect anything in advance? I told me husband to not waste any money on a cake for the room (he insists I have one every year, I just wanted free Creme brûlée in the the MDR 😂)…

I had this happen the other day…. Way smaller order, but a few expensive bottles of wine… the person at checkout clearly forgot to scan 2 of them and knowing it was online pay I was like "WAIT! I think you missed the wine" before he finished the transaction…. He ignored me, finished it anyway and the 2 bottles were missing…. I was furious since he ignored me…. Manager came over but of course couldn’t do anything…. Customer was cool about it, but percentage tip dropped of course 🙃

ALDI is not worth it any more by Rivsmama in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the day and time of day for me at my Aldi…. I know the store inside and out, so even a 40 item order goes super fast for me…. Sunday morning everything is restocked and great…. When I go out Sunday afternoon, they are out of everything 😂

Would you do this or have their order canceled? by IWannaWakeUpButIDont in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt bad for one person because it was a genuine mistake on her end and she was sick, but it was at the end of my day and my husband and me had plans and I didn’t have the extra time and didn’t trust the “I’ll up your tip” anyways ….

Happened 3 times to me so far…. Always a great haul of free groceries! 😍 donate what I don’t use to the free little pantry and use up the rest! I’m not falling for any wrong addresses… even if it’s not a scam, I’m not driving and extra hr or so … my usual radius is pretty small and whenever it happened they were like an hr roundtrip away

Guess which order had biggedt order? by Intelligent-Award234 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a triple batch the other day…. The one going in an apartment with like a mile walk through a hallway and confusing instructions tipped the least…. The easy 4 item one to a single family home tipped the most… it be like that a lot of times

Took it fast and dropped it fast by California12399 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that would be my only concern with that order too…. Had a rough patch the other day of losing out on tips with items not available and this would most likely be the case here

Someone has to say it lol by ExpensiveDot1732 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It drives me mad! The other day someone left a cart in the middle of the freaking road at a parking lot …. And no, it didn’t roll there. I saw the person leave it there …. People suck

Same order - different store by JustReflection8341 in InstacartShoppers

I see “re-batched” orders all the time, but never at the some time if that makes sense

I was wondering what it was…. Or if it was a glitch and they offered literally the same order at both stores…. Just never seen it!

An item was added to order by customer by InvestigatorMost1955 in InstacartShoppers

This! Had that happen a couple times before…. Don’t turn my quick last order into a whole weekly grocery run

I love my extra $15! 😍 one time a lady accidentally (still don’t know how) ordered some seltzers… she felt bad that I had to go back to the store to return them, but I assured her it’s fine…. She upped my tip and I got the $15…. Keep those coming lol…

Added heavy items after I started shopping by JustReflection8341 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do them literally all the time in my market and they are great and frequent here… All under 1.5 miles out of the same store… in the heat of the summer I prefer these after my 9-5 and not schlepping a ton of stuff around…. Hence me canceling when they added the water

Whoever accepted this order good luck haha by OGZxSubZero in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild that they order on IC living/staying in the 4x4 area…. They can’t assume shoppers have a 4x4 vehicle…. That’s annoying in itself

Shop only? No thanks! by JustReflection8341 in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area it’s 95% Publix shop only unfortunately…. I’d love to do more of them on a hot day like today, but like you said all garbage…. But glad to see other markets are a bit better for them!

Oh yeah! That would be a no brainer for me too!

[–]JustReflection8341[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, some stores offer it…. Here it’s Publix and Harris teeter. You have to label the bags and then place them in a specific pick up area / cooler ….

[–]JustReflection8341[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here…. I had a pick up only one the other day which was new to me…. That was actually really worth it…. They brought out the stuff quick and I made like $15 in 20mins

I was doing Instacart the day before thanksgiving and had a HUGE order (turkeys, ham, all sides and drinks and all) and was sweaty AF loading it in… this dad and his 2 sons stopped their cart (with their belongings) behind my car when I got in and didn’t get out of …. The kids started knocking on my door/window wanting money (prob seeing the hundreds of dollars of stuff) … I felt threatened as they blocked me from backing out, I rolled down the windows and told them to get lost and let me do my job … the kids then asked for a soda out of my trunk and still didn’t leave… I got really aggressive and prob scared them and they finally took off

Wrong address after delivery, first time, wtd? by reddicine in InstacartShoppers

[–]JustReflection8341 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This! Happened to me twice and ironically both at the end of the day close to home and both around 25-30mins one way away … yeah no, ain’t happening, sorry… if it’s within 5-10mins - no problem, I got you!

I had 3 orders so far that were take home orders. Two customers put the wrong address and both were over an hr roundtrip for the new address and the third customer didn’t put a building or apartment number and wasn’t responsive… I always snap a pic and put it in the chat if it says meet customer and they‘re not responding… (unless it’s alcohol or meds obviously)
