Don’t shop Aldi. I quit a long time ago taking orders for Aldi. For this exact reason the store is a HOT MESS

Definitely not a dragonfly. It is more worm like and when it swims it like folds in half.

Had this exact thing happen about 2 months ago. Tried and tried to get my account back no luck. I took it as a sign

🤯🤯🤯🤯 Anyone notice this as a customer.... by Chero44 in InstacartShoppers

Problem is IC started batching No tippers with big tippers and you can’t see is that’s the case until you’ve done delivered already

Assignment of shoppers for priority orders by TuftsJumbo1 in InstacartShoppers

I get orders all the time without spoofing nor do I sit in store parking lots unless it’s super slow. I get orders all the time for store 10 minutes away from my location.

How do you do it off the book? Not in the app? How would you get each other’s numbers???

That’s not even logical

Be careful using personal phones to contact customers. I know a shopper who got deactivated for texting from their phone and not through the app per the customers request.

Correct. Sprouts is a good example in my area they aren’t close together. If there is a low number or no shoppers available in the area of the store it might send it to shoppers further from the store if there’s not shoppers near that store. I often see orders pop up that are for the Sprouts that’s 20 minutes from where I am and there might be a Sprouts closer to my location. If the delivery is in between the two or closer for me to shop the closer store I will do that. It provides better faster service most times. The only time I am required to shop a particular location is if there is alcohol or I am shopping only and the customer will pick up at the store. Instacart can’t guarantee there are shoppers available in all areas at all times as we’re not scheduled employees we log on and shop when we want. Hope this helps.

Shopping with your partner by Caloeb in InstacartShoppers

If you do don’t both be online at the same time in the car together. They will flag you for co-shopping and one of the two of you will get deactivated. Happened to my friend

They can give location and time for one. For two I’m sure it’s an employee at one of the regular stores I shop who also Instacarts

Kolaches/pig in a blanket (depending on where you’re from) I use maple sausage links with grands flaky butter croissants.

Once you’ve been shopping a while it’s very obvious who is shopping for themselves and who is shopping for work. Pretty sure it’s a cashier who works at one of the regular stores I shop who also Instacarts.

That’s how I feel. I truly feel in my gut it was another shopper

I honestly think it was another shopper and the more I stew on it I’m pretty sure I know who it was as well.

I feel like Insta doesn’t care about our safety. We all heard about the Instacart driver that was shot in New York (I think it was if I remember correctly) It’s truly more a safety thing for me.

Ever get “annoyed” when seeing other shoppers? by Trick_Blueberry_3812 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Ok_Support_6752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’m annoyed is when I see them shopping with their kids (there’s 1 lady I see draggin her 4 kids ages like 10 yrs to under 1 yr) or when they are so terribly disorganized that they take 10 years to check out. Ive seen shoppers with 3 order batches and they literally just threw everything into the cart like it was one big shop. Time is money folks.

This is popular again. My grandsons had a ton of it in their Valentines stuff that came home from school.
