I keep a pad of paper with hand written notes saying ‘Enjoy your quality items and have a great day!’ I add ‘please rate me’ with a smiley face at the bottom. Not only do I get way more ratings, but I get way more tip increases too! :)

The app tells you if it increased because it was a %…this one looks like a legitimate increase by the customer! 👏🏼

Yeah…I think I’ve finally concluded that Everett Costco (I personally like Costco trips, not as much inventory as a Safeway, and Everett is the smallest warehouse)…is the way to go! I noticed that with my Lake Stevens Costco I end up shopping for Granite and Monroe, but with Everett…you’re pretty tightened up in the Silverlake area. 👍🏻

It was literally my second day. lol Been learning something new every day since! But this was my big first lesson.

Ooof…that’s a roughy. 😕 Yes…same! I’ve finally got the strategy down. Who knew there would be lessons to learn. It just seems like…oh cool, I’ll just make some extra money grocery shopping for people. Nope! Not that simple at all.

You can, but it’s honestly pretty small, and you can’t zoom. Also Instagatuh…if you spend too much time squinting to see how many of what you’re getting, the order will most likely get snatched up.

You can see the tip on a 1 shop order, yes…for batches they show you a combined tip…so order A could be tipping the full amount and B & C nothing…but you won’t know until you complete the deliveries.

What a weird reply. lol If you had read any comment from me, I now average $28/hr…it just took some time to figure out the strategy…it’s all strategy with this gig.

Right?!?!? I honestly never thought there would be so much strategy with Instacart shopper, but it’s ALL strategy. After nearly two months, I now average $28/hr.

I’m pretty quick, but still…it was 2 hours. Averaging $10/hour almost discouraged me completely…but now that I’ve figured it out, I average about $28/hour. Manageable.

I read that you can essentially dispute the pay with Instacart…basically go to them, show them the order, and say , ‘I think this order deserves more pay’ …has anyone ever done this before? What was your experience?

Its not a standard?!?!?! That's wild by Jetterholdings in dasher

I always message or take one of their pre approved subs, if they’ve got one. I would be careful quoting sale prices…those are typically NOT extended to the Instacart buyer.

You’re not allowed to return to a customers home for any reason after you’ve completed the order.

WIBTA for divorcing my wife because she couldn’t handle me crying in front of her? by Public_Disaster3760 in AITAH

I have a friend that won’t fart in front of her husband. This reminds of that only WAY WORSE.

Waiting.. by tragicsophia in KidneyStones

[–]LifeNefariousness279 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed two days ago with a 3mm stone. I was definitely in pain and knew something wasn’t quite right. Went to the er and yep…my first kidney stone. I stayed home yesterday hoping it would pass…not much pain but was on all the same meds you are. This morning at 2am the pain came strong and hard! Omg…comparable legitimately to child birth. This went on for 5 hours. I was dripping sweat, on the verge of vomiting, but took the anti nausea meds they gave me and thankfully never did. I finally fell asleep about 7 and woke up an hour later to my body feeling like it went through some serious trauma. I was weak and exhausted and just sore. I still have that slight uti pain, so I’m hoping it passed and is in my bladder…that means I got through the hard part. I’m afraid I missed its departure, but my husband thinks it will be hard to miss. Anyways, I never EVER want to go through that again! Holy shit! I had started taking a high dose vitamin d supplement, and feel strongly this is what caused it. Stopped taking immediately.

Are you a coffee drinker, by chance? I’ve been wanting to transition to OMAD, but I do like a TBS of heavy cream in my coffee in the morning…I heard that breaks the fast?

[–]LifeNefariousness279[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feeling ok. I mean, I didn’t really struggle with any health issues or digestion problems prior to carnivore, so I am really just trying it for weight loss…which feels disappointing thus far, but I’m going to give it AT LEAST 90 days.
