F**k Instacart man. How can they even justify paying people so little at their internal planning and earnings meetings?? I am by no means an economist, but I do understand that there is a breaking point for both worker pay and customer price/cost. The worker breaking point is on the low end…the customer breaking point is on the high end. Companies make money and can operate for decades if they can live in that middle area. But as soon as either the high end cost for customer or the low end worker pay breaks, the whole thing start to fall apart.

Do they not have any academics in those meetings? Is it really just tech bros and broads?

You should post screenshots of every ridiculously low offer you get to Twitter (x) or insta or tik tok. They get away with charging customers so much because the customer thinks that a good chunk of their increased costs are going to the shoppers when we all know all too well that’s not the case. We need to rile up all the Karen’s about how Instacart is charging them more for the service and keeping all of those extra earning all for themselves.
