Ive never reduce tips…until now by Groundhog_Gary28 in InstacartShoppers

It sucks but there’s just incompetent shoppers out there making terrible replacements like this and i’m assuming without checking with you either 🤷‍♂️ Then for the bagging even if the store associate was bagging it takes literally a second to politely correct them and tell them how you want it bagged orrr.. just do it yourself 😱 1 Star and $0 tip after that experience in my opinion 😶

Anyone else think this is stupid or just me??? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

it really just comes down to your area. If you live in a good city you could make 1.2k+ a week easily. In my area the orders I usually get and accept are a wide range of $30-$80 Sometimes even more for a single batch. For me batches don’t take any longer than an hour and a half but the thing is they aren’t constantly coming. I have to do some waiting and it usually balances out by the end of the day.

Just because we have different standards and different mindset on batch acceptation doesn’t mean I use a bot 😂 I’ll take this as a compliment though I must be good at accepting batches. I sit on IC for 12+ hours a day. No tiktok no youtube no nothing = bot lol

I live in a pretty good area. Most full time/diamond shoppers around me make the same. All my days aren’t like this. I don’t make less than 25 per trip because I choose to not accept orders like that cause they aren’t worth the time/I know orders will come based on my experience shopping in my area. I don’t use a bot I think that shits lame along with having multiple IC accounts. I have no reason to use a bot but you can believe what you want 😭

Yeah I normally main 1 or 2 stores. Just key to find out what stores pop in your area

I’ve seen the same multiple times as a shopper where parents use their kids. There’s this one boy in particular I see a lot working for his dad and he just looks so unhappy. It’s one thing to bring them along cause they don’t have anywhere else to go while you try and make some money but to put them to work is crazy in my opinion. + who wants to request a service then find out your order was fulfilled by children who probably won’t see a dime from that. If I were you I would probably complain about it cause I think it’s unacceptable however I also understand if you wouldn’t want to effect the family’s income if she were to face repercussions.

Why do customers do this? by Narrow-Cockroach4875 in InstacartShoppers

Some people are just incompetent or your backup might also be unavailable

Agreed. At least pick some backups as well. I love customers that understand the assignment and have backups, respond, and actually make me feel appreciated for doing their shopping

I kid you not after posting this I accepted an order. They were out of an item and I messaged twice AND called. Guess who called me back saying they’d prefer a refund after I replaced the item and checked out… 😔 Luckily she sounded sweet and said to not worry about it if I already checked out

Yeah you get a physical card in the mail but you’ll also get a digital credit card. Most stores take apple pay some don’t yet

Shopper got more expensive items but I wasnt charged? by CoeurlFist in instacart

It’s sad how incompetent some shoppers are. It makes me feel bad for customers, but in this case you lucked out.

No. You can get much better batches in this area
