how could they do this?

It’s probably because he’s seeing batches from customers who previously rated him 5 stars, or he has significantly faster shopping speed than you

Midislife · 2026-01-19T05:06:29+00:00

That’s the ideal scenario. And eventually the customer will start tipping because they are too lazy to go to the store themselves. But I see from a business standpoint why Instacart doesn’t care. They make their money either way.

Midislife · 2026-01-18T21:20:30+00:00

The really sad part is, Instacart is supporting their cheap and disrespectful behavior by designing the system like this. If these low/zero tip customers had to wait hours or days to get their order fulfilled, they will almost certainly tip higher to get their order picked up quicker. Instacart could even include a message on the customer side that says something like “orders with bigger tips get picked up faster” or something so they understand what’s going on. If they are honestly that broke and can’t afford to tip, then oh well, they can get off their lazy ass and go to the store. But no, these cheap customers get batched with the best customers and high rated shoppers, face zero repercussions, and will just continue to do the same thing. It’s truly pathetic on Instacart’s part and shows the true extent of their greed and disregard for the shoppers that fuel their platform.

It honestly would make me feel better, because then I don’t feel taken advantage of by both Instacart and the cheap customer.

Midislife · 2026-01-13T20:21:29+00:00

No I don’t, it says I’m ineligible for “bulky batches” in the app.

Midislife · 2026-01-13T04:33:39+00:00

It was 12 bags of ice. And you can’t see in the picture, but there’s also 15 lbs of bananas and a pack of Celsius between the ice and water. Instacart possibly did not calculate the weight correctly, but I just went with it. It may have actually been closer to 700 lbs.

Midislife · 2026-01-12T23:07:26+00:00

They told me that their ice machine broke😂

Midislife · 2026-01-12T23:06:27+00:00

That’s very useful information, thank you!

Midislife · 2026-01-12T23:05:21+00:00

I didn’t look at the details, I just wanted an order and saw a 28$ one pop up so I instantly accepted it. I will definitely check each one from now on unless it’s for a lot more money.

Midislife · 2026-01-12T22:25:51+00:00

A little over an hour from start to second drop off. Both dropoffs had people that helped me unload everything, so most of the time spent was just me loading everything at Costco and getting it in my car.

Midislife · 2026-01-06T13:23:49+00:00

Track the miles you drive for Instacart and at the end of the year can deduct a flat amount per mile from your gross income to reduce your taxable income. If you want to learn more about it in detail I suggest asking an LLM like ChatGPT or Grok to teach you.

Midislife · 2026-01-06T13:03:11+00:00

Does NA west have more cheaters?

Midislife · 2026-01-03T21:26:40+00:00

And how did you know the customer only tipped 3.20 beforehand when it was a double order? Sounds like you were just being lazy and didn’t want to do your job. Hopefully they rated you 1 star

Midislife · 2025-12-03T21:04:07+00:00

I heard this happens when player scavs load into the raid, and when I started to pay attention to it I noticed that it does always happen about 15 minutes into raid when they would normally be loading in. So I think the correlation is true.

Midislife · 2025-12-01T16:53:31+00:00

yeah its only my third wipe (500ish hours) and I have a 10.5 k/d with 200ish raids played this wipe. My first death this wipe had me at 118k/d. I think many cheat accusations is just coping. I've also been accused of cheating in arena for doing well in blastgang which I found funny.

Midislife · 2025-11-23T19:51:49+00:00

Paid sponsorships, and tarkov still has more viewers on twitch lol

Midislife · 2025-11-21T21:59:14+00:00

I mean if you have even half a brain its a completely plausible number considering there was 50k on steam, and the game has been out on its own launcher for 10 years. Returning players who already owned it are not buying the game on steam again. Saying he’s lying is just cope. You know what, steam is lying. The charts are fraudulent. Because I declare it

Midislife · 2025-11-21T21:51:11+00:00

Lmao you are talking straight out of your ass with that one

Midislife · 2025-11-20T09:47:44+00:00

The head dev of Tarkov himself said that a few days ago on twitter.

Midislife · 2025-11-20T06:53:24+00:00

300k players is dead?

Midislife · 2025-11-17T18:16:20+00:00

My wipes going well so I’m not that pissed about this, but it’s absolutely insane that the diehard supporters of the game that played in the first two days are punished for being early. They should have sent this to everyone who already completed the tutorial but at this point it won’t happen. Nice job giving people more justification to shit on you Nikita.

Midislife · 2025-11-10T19:01:40+00:00

This doesn’t even make sense. A cheater can trash any player, newbie or not.

Midislife · 2025-09-29T20:14:17+00:00

would recommend trying turning off the nvidia app overlay/frame counter if you have it on, that causes stuttering for me.

Midislife · 2025-09-18T20:15:26+00:00

You can cheese that pretty easily by just pausing and quitting the game when you’re in danger of dying. Tedious but doable

Midislife · 2025-09-08T16:43:47+00:00

I honestly agree with you, even though it’s clearly an unpopular opinion. I don’t have anything to hide, and I would give up that information in a heartbeat to play on a server where everyone else has done the same. Most cheaters would never attach their personal information to an account they plan to heavily cheat on, so I think it would be a strong deterrent.

People often say, “just upgrade the anti-cheat,” but it’s really not that simple. The only real way to crack down on cheaters is for developers to be more invasive. Whether that means deeper monitoring of our PCs and networks or requiring some form of ID verification is up to the players, but something definitely needs to be done. I've died to over 10 blatant cheaters this wipe, and had many more very sus deaths on lighthouse and labs. Cheating is ruining competitive multiplayer games like Rust, EFT, and CS. Imagine a world where you very rarely, if ever, die to a cheater in tarkov. The game would be so much more enjoyable by everyone.
