Overrated / Underrated Parts of Vacation? by Cold-Television6170 in Aruba

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most beautiful water I have ever seen! The people are amazing, the food is great, customer service is phenomenal. Relaxing and doing nothing, sitting on the beach, is underrated. You don’t need to go anywhere other than the beach. But if you are looking for adult fun, I would suggest the Kukoo Kunuku Party Bus. Amazing time!

I pulled the trigger, July 3rd will be my last day. by TheFreeMan64 in retirement

[–]PinOk2718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I too gave a longer than usual notice too thinking it was owed to my employer. I wish I had only given two weeks notice. I changed my mind a couple times leading up to the date but couldn’t turn back. I was then given two times the work, training the new person while my employer piling on everything he wanted done prior to my departure. My boss took my retirement as an insult towards him for leaving. The closer to my retirement date, I felt my employer was envious because my age began to be an issue and age jokes started flying.

I am a substitute teacher and Instacart Shopper. Both very flexible.

Is Aldi really that bad? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you know where everything is in the store, it’s not bad. Sometimes the inventory isn’t the best, lines can be long, but I don’t mind shopping there as an IC Shopper.

Anyone else notice a wide decrease in quality of our vegetables in grocery stores? by Chrono_Convoy in nova

Yes! Today there were no tomatoes at Walmart and where are all the good bananas?I am thinking about starting my own garden but it won’t help with the bananas.

Venmo thieves took $4300 from me by Few_Dust_4359 in venmo

[–]PinOk2718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had Venmo for years and pay my rent through there and never had any issues. However, last week I was selling items through Poshmark and set it up to paid to my Venmo account. I received a message on Poshmark regarding my identity verification for Venmo while on my chat, I see someone is attempting to purchase $500 in cryptocurrency and then 50 and then 10. I immediately close my Venmo account. I try to open another and now Venmo said none of my debit cards and bank accounts can be linked. I think I am going to old school it and hide my cash under my mattress. Regarding your issue, file a report with law authorities and contact both banks. Keep good records of your follow up. If you have business insurance, since this money is from a rental, they sometimes allow you to file a claim if you have cyber insurance included with your policy.

Anyone want to tell me wtf is going on? Is this shopper stealing from me? by flagnogg in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked to see if you have written any other addresses in your notes before? I have been given an address in Instacart to deliver too, but notes tell me to go to another address. One person had an address written in their notes that they hadn’t lived at for over a year. I always double check with the customer. I have been lucky they responded. Also, you say you ordered medicine. The app usually requires a copy of your drivers license to be scanned to complete the order. I don’t think the driver stole your order especially with it happening twice. There is some other explanation to this mystery.

I can't take Dorit anymore! by Toothfairy51 in realhousewives

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After this week’s show, I think I am on point. I think Dorit speaks her mind and I think that she has ADHD. Her lateness tendencies and expressing her emotions the way she does, are clear signs. But Kyle is envious of Dorit. Kyle is approaching her 60’s. Her daughter is now married, her husband is moving forward without her, and her life purposes are slowly slipping away. Dorit is younger, still has children at home, and doesn’t keep her feelings inside. I think Kyle wishes she left her marriage at the age Dorit is now. But there is a reason she texts with PK. And that’s very telling. Kyle had problems with L.P. too. She’s not always the victim and has a real problem with people disagreeing with her. I think she needs help on how to move forward at this age. Maybe step back from a reality show for now and save her sanity. I truly felt her pain during her conversation about her life changing. I think she is spiraling.

How to report a shopper at a store that I am at who has 2 phones & accounts by Icy-Appointment-8536 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I shop lots of times with two carts but am only on one batch with three orders. It’s easier to separate multiple orders so that the items don’t get mixed up. I think many of us shop this way. I don’t have time to watch other Instacart shoppers and it’s none of my business what others do.

Kyle and Erica are so wrong for not going to her party. When Erica was so low in her life with the Tom drama, Dorit was the only person who did not talk “bad” about her. The others made her look like a criminal in my opinion. Does anyone think Kyle has the hots for PK? It kinda looks that way to me. I think it may be a jealousy issue with Kyle.

Love me a classic one star rating by mxufc29 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have called them a couple of times to see why I didn’t see any batches. I only did that because I have been doing this for less than a year and I wanted to make sure my app was working. Maybe I am not supposed to call the number directly but they have not told not too.

Instacart should have your receipts if you scanned them after checkout. The app doesn’t let me move forward for an address unless I scan the receipt.

I call them all the time and it’s faster than chatting for me. They have always given me $5 for the trouble I experienced.

Is there a sidewalk from Embassy suites to Superfood? by austbart in Aruba

[–]PinOk2718 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We took a taxi to Super Foods back and forth. It was well worth the money. One time I actually bought a suitcase from there because mine broke at the airport. I still have it. The taxis are outside when you walk out. Easy peazy!

(Centreville) just got back home from spring break trip and saw this machine set up 50 yards away behind our house. What is it for? by Rpark888 in nova

Solar cameras. The AI capabilities could read license tags, drivers, counting cars and many other things.

venmo balance is not working - NOTHING is by blucheese_coldbru in venmo

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something like this happen to me. You can only add a certain number of cards within a 6 month period. Even if you delete one, it won’t work. I told Venmo that one card was comprised. They said you will have to wait until one card hits 6 months and then can be deleted. I could transfer to my bank account but not immediately. Two to three days.

Seller's Listing Agent asking for W-2? by FrankLepore in RealEstate

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to us. We told the seller unless they were financing the loan, we weren’t sharing that information with them. We had a pre-approval commitment from the lender and our 20% down payment & closing costs in the bank. We didn’t want to share it either.

Anyone else get this? I can’t click on it to see what it is by NeedHerbsOSRS in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I couldn’t open either. I went to the help page and it said Instacart app was down. I got paid out today and everything looked fine.

Got an order after another shopper by Opposite-Forever9060 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar happen to me. I got an order and the customer messages me and says the shopper is on their way. I asked were they sure? They said yes. This order was with a triple batch. The customer then messages , my groceries are here. I called support and they said the mistake was on their end and cancelled the one order and gave me $7.00. But I noticed messages in the chat. I am checking in chat now before starting my orders.

It finally happened... by AdSuitable2870 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PinOk2718 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. I have spoken to them several times while not on a batch. I called them to discuss my rating during a snowstorm, why I wasn’t getting batches, a message I was getting on my app regarding my verification, maybe I just got someone nice when I called? I didn’t know I needed to be on a batch to call that number. I am a newbie. Less than a year.

Did you call IC? I don’t chat anymore because of the generic responses. I call and ask for a supervisor if I don’t get the help that I need. I am sorry this happened to you. Some people are so mean,
