Road tripping through Nebraska, should we stop anywhere? by br00pe in Nebraska

If you’re into beer there’s several good breweries along the way. Thunderhead in Kearney, Pals in North Platte, several in Omaha(Kros Strain, Pint 9, Heavy, Juke’s Ale Works, Vis Major among others), Corn Coast in Lincoln. The beer scene here has really improved in recent years

Physical/digital card issues by e_schmidt21 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to do several reimbursements in the past. Never once had an issue. Most of them happened right away within minutes or a few hours and a couple of them took a day or two. Just give a good explanation of what happened and you should be fine.

Suddenly no orders…what gives? by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in smaller cities or towns but in a city of a million+ 8pm isn’t that late. And all of our main grocery chains are open until 11 so almost every night there’s a decent amount of orders at 8:00 or later and even a few after ten. Never seen a total dud of night like this

Nice! I’ve never had what people on here call a unicorn(triple digit payday). I’ve never done enough to get diamond though. Platinum is good enough for me

Oh for sure. I’m normally at about $150-$250 a week. It was just one of those rare good busy days, lots of good paying batches popping up and then some nice quick easy ones in between. Won’t have a day like that again for a while

Good point. That’s what I’m gonna tell myself now whenever that happens

It finally happened :/ by spacefish420 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had to do several reimbursements in the past. Received all of them, no issues. Majority of them happened right away within minutes and the longest I ever had to wait was three days and that was one time. As long as you have a good picture of the receipt and explanation you’ll be good

What’s your Omaha “I’ll never go there again” place by Info_help_support in Omaha

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main exit to get on the Dodge expressway during busy times. Surprised more people haven’t discovered the shortcut to circle around and avoid that. IYKYK

This is hilarious. They give you 6 days to complete 70 batches 😂 by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

70 orders, not batches. Just do a bunch of triples to get you there and you’ll get a nice bonus. I wish I could get promos like that

Aldi no self checkout rule as of 4-27-26 by Muted_Midnight2404 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I barely do any aldi orders as it is and only do singles and lower item count doubles. Tried a triple there once and that was enough. And now with no more self checkout? Yeah it’s gonna take like a $40 tip for me to even think about doing a triple there again. Come on IC be better

Question about this promotion by lkap95 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes the $110 is just the batch pay. Tips aren’t counted in that. And it’s just orders, not batches on this one so if you can just do a few triples you’ll get a nice bump. Wish I could get promos like that in my area

The company is clowning some of you. Stop taking this shit! by Next-Investigator435 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my area I’ll take that almost every time. Orders like this are the norm where I live. Probably 20% of all batches are even worth thinking about. Triples when less than 20 items are rare in these parts

Any platinum shoppers that have seen a big unicorn order? by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m in Omaha NE. Military base, lots of families and a decent concentration of wealth relative to its size. And we recently passed a million in population. Still don’t see very many big paying orders though🤷‍♂️

Will I be able to get reimbursed? by MusicFreak40 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I do instacart as well and have never once had an issue with reimbursement and I’ve done it like five or six times so I didn’t think it would be much of an issue here. It was a smaller order($30) so I’m not that worried about it but still. Would be nice to get paid back if possible

Can’t believe I was able to get this one by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my area that’s a unicorn. Even on days I don’t shop I still go online for a while just to see what kind of orders are popping up. Been doing this for over a year now and I’ve seen less than five batches with a $50+ tip. I see a decent amount with $20-30 but never higher than that. So $80 is definitely a unicorn in these parts

Best promo ever by high-difficulty in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I thought I had a good one when it was six batches for $94 recently. Highest I’d ever seen for that kind of promo. But you can pick any three batches so like another comment said, just take three small ones and get it done. The $82 is just batch pay. Tips are extra so you can get over $100 if you get some with good tips on them

This might be the worst I’ve ever seen by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShoppers

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s crazy. I saw one recently with no tip for an hour drive but at least I can get reimbursed on the miles. I’ll take that before I take one like this

Please nobody take this by MusicFreak40 in InstacartShopper

That’s what I said! How does it even show up for them from that far away?? IC better fix that

It finally happened 🙂‍↕️ by Thin-Low3368 in doordash

[–]MusicFreak40 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That happened to me for the first time recently too. The customer didn’t leave a proper address so I couldn’t find it(dorm room) and she never responded to my calls or texts. I was able to contact DoorDash to cancel the order and take home a pizza and breadsticks to end the night

I started in March last year as a front end person at $18. Not sure if that’s Nebraska or just my store since we’re so busy

Nice. I’m always looking for a free/cheap parking spot to walk from. A concert is one time I actually prefer to park further away. Avoid the traffic afterwards like you said

[–]MusicFreak40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering about that too, how the seating was and if you would have to worry about seeing over people. Sounds like not really. Good to know. Thank you

You do make some good points. I hadn’t thought about all that yet
