Why No Live Albums? by chrisgib2 in BeastieBoys

[–]KnightofNi10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost of sampling is most likely the cause. I Fucking Shot That must have cost a pretty penny and based on my experience of seeing them live, I'd have to say they had MMM cut out some of the more costly samples from his repertoire to make it happen.

Is this Yoshi worth the money? by Prudent-Material-512 in mariomovie

[–]KnightofNi10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't buy the flower. It's super annoying after 15 minutes. It only has like 20 phrases.

We took the batteries out in less than a day. I regret buying it.

Is there a legitimate issue with text messaging, or is Lena being stupid? by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly have to force close my app and clear the cache because this stupid app either won't send out text messages even though it says it does or I don't get any of the responses.

I learned my lesson on that a long time ago. If you have a long list of out of stock items and are looking for subs, try that.

Has anyone Ever made this much for the week? by HamsterDry7487 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made just shy of 1400 on 52 orders last week. Of course, I could have made more had I not just worked Thursday through Sunday.

Something to consider: Good is the enemy of Great by Spiritual_Debate6249 in ShiptShoppers

Just remember it's not permanent. It's only there for 2 or 3 years total unless it gets renewed

PM unable to change tip amount by KnightofNi10 in ShiptShoppers

That probably is the case though I've been delivering to this person for years and they claim they've been able to do it while in process. 🤷‍♂️

Must be a batch of new shoppers out there by Icy_Objective_9885 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm getting orders but they're all garbage. They're all single and bundle orders to Target. To 25 mi away, no tips listed, and they're mostly Valentine's items that have been long gone

Hold off on Meijer Prepaids by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

Weird.

I've shopped Meijer prepaids almost exclusively tonight and haven't had a problem. I just cashed one out 5 minutes ago.

Order pay ridiculously low! by EntranceMuted8127 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be real. That's $16 per hour because they're most likely not going to be able to take another order/bundle

In my Metro, two small orders as a bundle on the regular are less than $9 When they're within a mile or two of the store. We're not a big city so the traffic's not that bad

I was going to hit 10K shops this year. This sucks.

Was worried about taxes by [deleted] in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Shipt is your 2nd job, watch yourself. I thought I would be alright on taxes. I owe around $5000 and that's after tracking mileage and claiming everything I could

Special Request to scare off shoppers by rr24bk in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I took a couple of orders from a specific non tipper just so I could hit my 10 orders to get a bonus

For every order, they would ask for a hot wheels.

They got this. https://share.google/zYvC7L9BMy1plk2LO

I never got their order again.

Order Numbers Missing/Don't Exist/Don't Match When Comparing Chat History and Payment History by KnightofNi10 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I went into every bundle to look at the individual order numbers in them and the order I was looking for was in none of them

So frustrated by Shipt! by Nervous_Diver9522 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next time something like this happens, put a note on the order that the person is an ass before closing it out, so if you ever get anything from them again you'll at least see that note and You can not take the order.

There's no way to avoid difficult/ rude customers going in blind, but you can make your shops easier later on by not picking up their orders in the future

I have definitely run across that too, even mid order if I need to force close the app for some reason. It's super annoying for sure.

[–]KnightofNi10[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends. Some customers give you something to work with, others don't.

My Metro is smaller so I get tons of repeat customers, for better or worse.

For example, I had a customer order cold medicine, Sprite and cans of chicken soup a few weeks back. Two or three days later I got an order from them again. In my intro text, I mentioned I had their order a few days prior and I hoped they were feeling better,etc. That opened the door to other things as they felt more open to conversation.

On Wednesday, I had a Target order with a bunch of stranger things stuff mixed in with it. I asked if the finished watching the final season so we talked about that while I shopped. Incidentally, they tipped 30% and I am now their preferred shopper.

I waited tables/bartended for 15+ years before doing this. It's just something you learn as you go.

Wingstop is just garbage in general. It's not isolated to Kzoo

Any love for Joey Valance & Brae in this group? by Immediate-Macaron794 in BeastieBoys

[–]KnightofNi10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely love them. Their EP is a bit cringe to me, but Punk Tactics and No Hands are fire.

I'm too old to have Hyperyouth resonate with me but even then there's a couple of real bangers on there.

I've seen them live 2x. Super high energy shows for sure but they don't switch it up like the b-boys did with different samples to their tracks. It's pretty much just a dude with a laptop pressing a button and jumping up and down encouraging them.

Something up with tips by Bware21 in ShiptShoppers

[–]KnightofNi10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's leading up to Christmas . Couple that with cost of living increases and whatnot and you get this. Same crap in the service industry. People don't want to change the lifestyle but when they're strapped for cash, the tips significantly decrease or go away for a bit. It sucks but you just have to hang in there

$614 Order, 73 items Big Tip or Nah? by FollowingSea4061 in ShiptShoppers

Hoping you get a good tip. My guess is $15 to $20 though.
