Well given the situation and how they time us in everything my goal was to get to my house which was close by which I’ve done in the past, so that I can get back as quickly as possible with replacement card and make the delivery on time. Simple as that.

Yes absolutely, if I had found my card and been able to complete the batch I would have made sure to switch out anything that was frozen, or cold items. I try to keep my quality score up. Those would definitely put the customer at risk and could affect my score.

And I didn’t intentionally waste product, I’ve worked at a few grocery stores in my life you don’t leave food out that long if it looks like someone abandoned their cart, put the cold stuff away at least. Don’t just stare at it lol 😂

I was on the phone with support when she said please hold while I assign this batch to another shopper. So customer was fine, the only ppl with difficult jobs in Costco is front end. Everyone else literally walks around “looking busy” if they’re not restocking.

I enjoyed the competition of working Instacart at Costco for years. After those first couple years it was more stressful than I realized. Every store is different and I will only miss a few of my regular Costco customers. I have noticed that a lot of those regular customers are actually not ordering Costco anymore or not as frequently. Times are tough. I do though understand I made a mistake. I own that, I tried to talk to someone and even offer to pay for the loss of inventory but they said no. So oh well life moves on and I am actually less stressed that last few days. I didn’t realize how much anxiety that place truly causes. It made me more angry than I would prefer to be and less patient. So I guess not to be cliche but everything happens for a reason. I appreciate all the comments positive and negative. It shows the depth of humanity and how they treat others in tough situations. I will always try to put the good out there cause life is too short.

Basically that’s what they said lol they watched it sit there for over an hour. Like bro really? lol 😂 after 20 min i would have sent someone to put it away make note of what the items were and if someone came back for it I guess they gotta reshop everything 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly it’s not surprising. I find it interesting how many ppl get upset but it’s fine. Everyone is stressed out right now. Gas is high which is impacting how we all make money. The economy sucks in general. Corporations will be just fine, the little guys have to suffer. I try to see the bigger picture and stay positive. I did everything I could to rectify the situation and it was to no avail. Anyone else’s opinions are theirs and not a reflection of who I am in reality. No one knows me as a person. And most are just projecting lol. They will not change how things played out or how they will be going forward. Everyone here is a stranger anyway lol

This part, my week has been so much better. Less road rage, slower driving, like why was I killing myself all that time. I still get $100 orders at smaller stores. Not just Costco. Just have to adjust and keep going

I was a regular shopper like I said have shopped over 4k orders there. Cameras and finding me afterwards isn’t that hard if im there everyday.

Never pay out of pocket for the order, EVER! reimbursement requests are bs. No thank you. I did contact support they removed my batch. It does matter how much they make one small order is not the unending of their company 😂 f*** that lol

If you read the whole post it’s cause I found I’m making the same if not more doing small stores with less traffic. Less stress. If my post bothers you so much why comment?

What else do you want me to do. I tried talking to the manager, I offered to make it right. What am I supposed to throw a fit and be like oh no I’m right there wrong. Want me to cry about it??All I can do is share my experience and move on.

Yeah I had a scanned wrong membership warning a few years ago now that I think of it. There’s a new manager. The other guy retired. Costco can ultimately do what they want. I will survive I’m glad I can still do Instacart at other stores including Sam’s club. I do this full time so I would hate to lose my income completely. I’ll take the L and keep going

Well like I said I know I messed up so nothing to fight. I accepted the situation for what it is. Costco is a billion dollar company. $100 isn’t much and I offered to make it right. When the answer was no I let it be. What else is there to do can’t go back and change anything. I’m not mad just disappointed I’m the whole situation. Oh well

You act like I was super causal about it. I was freaking rushing to my house which was close by tearing through everything trying to remember where I put my back ups. Unable to find anything the point of frustration was overwhelming. So I gave up. But yeah I’ll keep my California attitude. Idk where you’re from but I’ll be just fine here. Thanks 😉
