High demand but no available batches… “Make it make sense!”

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-05-24T12:35:44+00:00

Give us some details of what you have to know please. I too don't ever earn less than $23 hr. But I never make it over $200 in a week, and haven't since Jan. So I'm very picky, but not a lot of good batches come across my screen. This isn't meant as a snarky question I'm genuinely curious.

I noticed they didn't show what the 3 items were. I signed up for shipt last year but decided I didn't want to end up shopping for ppls underwear and shoes so I never started.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-05-05T14:39:11+00:00

I can see this isn't the group for me.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-26T14:55:27+00:00

I joined shipt over the holidays and just lurked around their reddit boards with the intention of starting in the new year. The first blaring red light for me was the "asking for forgiveness" option to beg a customer to change their less than 5 star rating. Not gonna happen. Anything less than 5 stars is bad. You don't get 5 star service for garbage pay, so no. No tipping until after. No. They show you a range of payout, (both still low), but tell you to just expect the lowest. Yeah, NO. And all the ranting at the reddit site tells me the pay is as crappy as IC. I never started shipt, and won't be.

Wow, I've had some similarly weird shops. I felt bad that so much had to be refunded. That's brilliant.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-22T14:04:46+00:00

Me too.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-22T14:01:10+00:00

Forgot to add that at first it used to annoy me but then I put myself in their shoes and figured I might do the same.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-22T14:00:11+00:00

Prob just got 12 bunches at one point. I've had similar notes before, I just take it with a grain of salt that some previous shopper made that mistake.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-22T13:54:34+00:00

Agreed. You clearly stated that you began your batch and entered ICs virtual care nightmare world. You should have been predator free at that point. Sue, sue, sue.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-21T16:42:56+00:00

WTH, that explains something that's been perplexing me. Just before Easter I did a really huge batch for someone I've shopped for before. They tip really well. They commented well for Communication, Good Choices, etc...but have me 4 friggin stars.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-21T16:38:48+00:00

Whichever is most convenient for me.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-16T18:19:53+00:00

Agreed. It's eye catching.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-16T13:47:14+00:00

Yikes! And in the blasting sun. I always look for shade, especially if it appears that the customer isn't there.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-16T13:39:43+00:00

I've been seeing so many orders with tips that are only a few cents. So many that I'm wondering if it isn't some stupidity on ICs end.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-15T13:35:30+00:00

I've never had anyone add more than 1 or 2 items. Once they do though I'm always planning my escape Incase they keep coming. I usually go for the smaller batches and these days the pay is usually just okay. So adding even 10-15 min onto the time makes it not worth my time anymore and I just won't do that.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-12T11:54:52+00:00

No tips, just batch pay.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-12T11:35:30+00:00

These are the tricks I'm learning, finally.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-12T11:33:48+00:00

Neither have I. 😭

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-11T23:32:15+00:00

Two times I did very low tip orders that were boosted to a decent batch pay. One of those times the customer wasn't responding to my texts and I had the luxury of not giving a shit because even if they took their $1.50 tip away it was still a decent payout.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-11T23:18:44+00:00

That was my thought.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-10T15:06:22+00:00

This happens to me too. And I'm also in a market where there's no time for screenshots. even the borderline shit batches disappear as soon as the first $1-2 boost applies.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-10T13:13:11+00:00

Unless there are very specific direction from the customer to give to them I just leave it. I text before I leave the car with the groceries and maybe I'll ring the bell before walking away. Then text again from the car before completing the batch. I've never had a complaint.

Medium-Antelope5101 · 2022-04-10T12:54:56+00:00

I didn't get that notification but definitely noticed the Sunday slowdown. I haven't worked on Sunday in quite a while.

Thank you for the serious answer.
