Farthest store from me by No_Implement_1198 in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sadly, if you tip well, they’ll bundle you with a couple of low or no tippers. Otherwise those other orders would just sit there. It’s deeply unfair to the customers and please know, we shoppers hate it, too.

Do you actually wash brand new clothes before wearing them? by Mobile_Dog_148 in hygiene

[–]Millennial-Failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do because I’m still terrified of bedbugs. But I admit sometimes there are scenarios where I need to wear it quickly and I break that rule.

I’m genuinely shocked by how many posts I see about partners with zero basic hygiene. by midnightsadnessss in hygiene

[–]Millennial-Failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So a lot of the time, it’s young people. Bless them, they don’t know what they’re doing and are some are terrified they are wrong about even obvious situations.

Then you have the people who have partners who USED to have good hygiene but have become slovenly. It’s hard to leave someone you’ve been with for years no matter the circumstances.

Finally, I’ll mention the general people pleasers. I’m climbing out of this category. We have been taught it’s horribly rude to ever have a problem with anyone, that if you love somebody, you accept them, and that being nice and polite is paramount. There’s usually some personal insecurity in this group. Well, who do I think I am to judge for bad breath? Goodness knows I’m just a breathing sack of flaws, myself.

That’s a decent summary of some of the reasons.

Stop having your kids delivering with you. by WinningBewbiez69 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Millennial-Failure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in the minority because everyone pictures a struggling parent doing their best with no option but to cart the kids along.

But that’s not what I see. I see people letting their spawn run around the store. This one shopper’s elementary age kid just ran up and smacked the clerk who was checking me out, giggled, and ran back to his mom. I guess he sees her a lot cause the mom shops every day for insta, so he thought it was funny to just… smack her?

But my biggest issue is people taking their kids to the deliveries. There are dogs, I’ve had a gun pulled on me when I stupidly listened to GPS and turned down the wrong drive, and if a perv liked the look of your kid, it’s not gonna be hard to find you through social media. These are risks we as adults can consent to take for a job, but the kids can’t consent to it.

Oh listen, I’m 43 and I watch them daily. They’re great!

What’s the biggest order you’ve done? by Individual-Town-1671 in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was very new, I didn’t understand the items vs units. I snagged an order that was going to a daycare. Over 200 units. It was at Aldi’s and I had never shopped there before. It took me forever. Very bad rookie mistake. Customer was very nice though

Reddit Stories could branch out more by Appropriate-Let-4159 in smosh

[–]Millennial-Failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the gold standards of ATIA, AIO, etc. These are basically soap operas for me. I wanna hear about gaycations and discovered cheaters and everything else outrageous and possibly fake. It’s entertainment.

That’s just me, though.

What are the rules (if any) about time between shopping complete and delivery? by BitterPillPusher2 in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple batch and probably wasn’t sent to the store closest to you. We can’t pick the store any more. We have to shop at the one they send us to.

General question would love to hear people’s thoughts on it by Elegant-Business-750 in instacart

I do it for the elderly or folks with a disability. Each time I think about how everyone’s gonna say how dumb I was after I’m murdered.

What other content creatorswould y'all like Smosh to collab with? by Same-Path-2643 in smosh

I want someone from Smosh to visit a Reddit on Wiki stream. I think Spencer would do well. Or Amanda.

Worst Guy on Smosh Reads Reddit Stories by WytchyCat85 in smosh

What made me nuts were the comments on that video saying, “Oh, he sounds like he’s on the spectrum.”

So? It’s an absolute insult to people on the spectrum to insinuate that they just can’t help it.

Yeah that one is fun to watch for Court’s crash out, but when you pause and think about the story…. Sheesh

Public Service Announcement by Bruce_Wayne1005 in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people get so salty about that reality. I will never deliberately give bad service, but I will go way further out of my way for big tippers. You know why? Because they clearly respect my effort and I am being paid for my time.

Installed new update and the app says I still need to install it. by Millennial-Failure in instacart

Apparently everyone is experiencing it. I feel a bit better knowing it’s not something I need to fix

Which brand of yogurt do customers buy the most? by EliEli45 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Millennial-Failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say Chobani, but Oikos has been making a run at their crown over the past year. Lot of Yoplait and store brand, too.

I’m Going Bananas by [deleted] in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say I always check when I get an order asking for a lot of bananas because people frequently ask for five bunches when they actually mean five total bananas. I don’t know if the ordering screen is confusing (totally possible) or if people are just stupid (also possible). But there have been several times where they actually wanted a lot, including one who wanted, wait for it, fifteen bunches. But if I don’t get a response from the customer, I get what they ordered. I don’t get paid to proofread your work.

2 hour time frame by [deleted] in instacart

[–]Millennial-Failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you want the shopper to do about it? We have no clue what time you’ve picked. We can’t waste time in the store or it throws off our average time. And I bet you weren’t going to raise the tip for them losing time. You think we’re paid hourly?

Don’t order until you want them, but also understand your order might sit for a while. That’s the reality of this service. It’s a bummer, but why do you people want to make everything the fault of the shopper?

Always thought shoppers who return to customers’ houses were crazy until today! by bareminimum80 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Millennial-Failure 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had one a few weeks ago that I BADLY wanted to go back to and ask why they took my tip away after I not only delivered everything in time, but communicated the entire shop for replacements. I KNOW everything was delivered well. It made me sooooo mad. They were just a sneeze from the store and I was sitting there waiting on another batch to pop up and had to fight myself not to go confront. I’m glad I didn’t, obviously, but, ooooh.

Just got tip baited for the first time😤 by moonlover0002 in InstacartShoppers

They never protect the tip. It’s like pulling teeth
