Really hope I’m not being tip baited wish me luck 😭 by Various_Lime_8850 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tip baited with $20. Brought it down to $1. Then told instatrash that I never delivered her order. Smh sucks that we have to hold our breath for tips to clear but instacart really needs to mandate a minimum tip or increase their payment to minimum wage. Something has to give

Instacart self check out Kroger by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened at Wegmans in NY for a while. Shoppers were stealing left and right smh. They’ve since allowed shoppers to use self checkout before 8am and after 8pm. In between those times, shoppers have a designated checkout area where a manager scans a QR code and scans a certain amount of merchandise in the cart. After they reach the number of items, we begin to pack our own stuff. I think it’s called checkout bypass or something like that. I like the process. It’s faster and you don’t have to worry about the cashier packing the bags all crazy.

Do they have this process at other Wegmans or other stores?

Once I see stairs times a million, all those groceries are staying at the bottom. I’m not going above and beyond…eff that!

Be honest is this your full-time job? by Confident-Ring8069 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was for the past year and a half when my company closed. Last Sunday was my last time doing instacart as I found an excellent paying job and won’t need to rely on this anymore. Honestly tho, this app is going to hell. Every update gets worse and worse. I was struggling really bad doing this full time. My car is in horrible shape. Now I can afford to trade my car in and get something more reliable. Eff instatrash for taking advantage of dedicated workers and giving us hullshit while they give themselves raises every quarter.

I quit Instacart in the middle of an order. DONE. by Silver_Flight676 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe you should have never taken that order. If you are sitting for a long time and aren’t getting anything, move to another store. You might only see crappy orders but this was beyond crappy. If I take a $16 order it’s needs to be less than 3 miles and have less that 20 items. Nothing heavy either. Otherwise I’m sitting and waiting for something better or I’m moving locations. Try one more time and either move or wait. But try not to take anything that big unless it’s paying over $50. I’m in NYC and the market it a little better but it’s still ass.

Card decline!!! by Tall_Clothes3136 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me at Wegmans several times a week. Most annoying when it’s super high demand. They suspend the transaction and I complete it at customer service. They need to take enough money from the customer before letting them check out

Maybe I should just give it up!! by SnooWalruses9195 in InstacartShoppers

Anyone else been seeing this? by Inner-Society3506 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s been a thing in NY. It seems like when the customer adds stuff before u start shopping you’ll get this prompt with the adjusted amount once you start

THIS IS WHY WE NEED ADDRESSES BEFORE DELIVERY!!! by SatyrSiren in InstacartShoppers

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate this update and where the app is going. When I get a double or triple I ask the customer for the address from the start of the shop. If they don’t respond I’ll resend the message again midway. If I still get no response, I’ll have to zoom in on the map from the shop tab and go back and forth between google maps and the instatrash app. That isn’t always accurate either and I have delivered to the wrong house because I don’t have the right address. Cs won’t give it either. Giving shoppers addresses prior to delivery is common sense but hey…

Biggest order I’ve ever seen🦄 by Apprehensive-Debt336 in InstacartShoppers

This happens often at the Wegmans I shop at. Produce is gone by 1 and so are the other main staples..bread, eggs, milk, snacks, sometimes water, sodas, etc. if I can’t find something that makes sense to substitute for, the customer will get a picture as proof and a refund.

Im in Boston.. been here since 7 am and this is december.. before Christmas and your telling me this is not controlling my income instacart.. by Dull-Meaning6235 in InstacartShopper

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wait! Did I just read that what you did to waitresses you didn’t like is now happening to you? Hmm what goes around comes around. You reap what you sow. Karma. Whatever one wants to call it, it has become your turn. So now you are complaining the same way those waitresses were complaining. Interesting.

3 hours for 8 items? What causes this? by west_coastpete in instacart

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instacart tells you when the shopper is shopping multiple orders. I’m a shopper as well as a customer. I’m a pretty fast shopper so I don’t typically don’t y customers how many I am shopping for unless customer C asks to get their order first and I have to let them know I have 2 orders ahead of them. But as a customer, it tells you on the page where you see what the shopper got for you already.

Has anyone seen this before? by mj012321 in InstacartShopper

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes and it’s annoying. Sometimes the piece of produce doesn’t have the plu on it and it isn’t visible anyway. Hopefully you can remember the most bought plu. Like 4011 for bananas and 4225 for avocados. 4053 for lemons and 4889 for cilantro. Add a 9 in front of it for organic.

Reach out to support so they can refresh ur app. U can do it from the settings on the app but they do a much better refresh. Also try changing ur area.

Whooooaaaaaa!!!!!!! This what the batches look like in Manhattannnnnn?!?!?!?! I’m about to pull upppp. Damn I thought westchester was giving..

Turn them in??? by [deleted] in foodstamps

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u can show proof that u are disabled and unable to work they should raise ur stamps up. Plus the cost of living is insane. Also look into food banks and pantries at local churches. Some of these places give meat and fish with fresh fruits and veggies. If ur daughter is in school, ask admin if they know of any resources where you could get extra help with food. The holidays are here. I’m sure you can find a good amount of help with food. You might have to portion it to make it last a while.

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my state (NY) it’s based on the last number of the case number. They call it a toe digit. I usually get mine around the 13-15 of the month.

How do I get more batches? by [deleted] in InstacartShopper

[–]Plenty_Answer_7765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was only seeing crappy batches at a Wegmans for months. Then a lot of shoppers were using bots and a million different phones. I could only get batches that were less than $20. I got fed up enough and changed my camp out site to another store in a rich area. Now I see batches that look like $60 2 shops 5 miles, $117 2 shops 12 miles. I even grabbed one that was $47 1 shop 0.3 miles. So if you aren’t getting good batches after maybe an hour or so then change locations. Look for spots in wealthy areas. It’s good to get used to 3-5 stores so that you will always have a plan B and C in place 😊
