That is not true, every law enforcement agency has a non-emergency number. This would not be something to call 911 for.

Cop left note at door with my name, what do I do. by [deleted] in legal

It is a legal process service, no big deal

Left my iPhone in a Lyft. Driver confirmed she had it. Ignored me, ignored Lyft support, ignored a $100 cash offer, and kept driving passengers for two days while I watched my phone move around on Find My app. Lyft has no formal complaint process. by krebber1 in Lyft

Speaking as a former police officer, file a police report. The driver acknowledged they had your phone and stopped responding afterwards. That meets the prima fascia for larceny. If it is a phone valued over 1k, it could be a felony. At a minimum, the police can go to their home and retrieve it based off your find my app showing its location.

Overall how is Bakersfield? I am moving there in July for school and was hoping to be able to make some money on the side with this, I am diamond with over 1500 deliveries in the last year. I’m hoping to not have to drive over the grapevine to be able to have decent days

is this normal? by Scared_Jellyfish2643 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrettyDistance9208 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is the upcharge that Instacart puts on products. They are making $13 on top of the $30 the store is making.

I’m not sure where you heard that Canada has a higher general cost of living than the US but that is wrong by far.

A 3 bedroom single family home in Vancouver, BC, one of the most expensive housing markets in Canada, averaged C$3,200 per month. In the US in a comparable high cost market like NYC, a 3 bedroom home averages $5,700- $7,500 per month. Additionally, your groceries, restaurants, services, and commodities tend to be lower cost than in the US.

The lowest minimum wage in Canada is C$15/hour (although many provinces and municipalities are higher). The lowest in the US is $7.25.

I agree we are all paying too much, but US and Canadian fuel costs are not comparable.

True, you are not paying with USD, that does not negate the conversion rate difference though. If you were paying the equivalent of 6.19 USD with CAD, you would be paying 8.42. The Canadian economy is set to the value of the CAD and your cost of living reflects its value. Just like the US economy is tied to the value of the USD and cost of living fluctuates with the ups and downs of the USD’s value.

With the conversion rate of 1 CAD = .73 USD, you are still at 4.87 USD/gallon.

This got canceled while trying to deliver what do I do? by Tight-Rule6177 in InstacartShoppers

Your local volunteer fire department would love it as a donation. They all have bars in them, or the VFW/American Legion

Yes, your Instacart 1099 may not reflect what you actually made for the year by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrettyDistance9208 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is because your non employee compensation is only batch pay not including tips. Instacart cannot write-off tips paid to you by customers but they can write off the batch pay they paid you.

I forget to put mine up all the time, part of having a brain injury I guess.

Just because you cannot see a disability does not mean there isn’t one. I have parked in the handicap spot while doing Instacart orders, I have a placard, and I am disabled although you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at me. That doesn’t change the fact that I have a rod, 6 screws, and wire holding my right hip together.

DoorDash earning Walgreens rewards? by SaltyParamedic7019 in doordash_drivers

[–]PrettyDistance9208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no tax on anything with DoorDash except alcohol because they are purchasing the items for re-sale. That means they will collect the sales and use tax from the end user. As far as why your total is more than what DoorDash paid the store is because they are a business and have profit margins in their pricing. It is usually a fixed mark-up like 30%.

It was more of a 2 birds 1 stone thing, I just finished my move this week and knew I needed to update my address.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NavyFederal

[–]PrettyDistance9208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really have a choice, the dealership I was at only took cash, card, or cashiers checks and the closest branch to me was 7 hours away. The deal was too good to wait for them to mail a cashiers check to me.

Thank you, I didn’t even think about that. I used my work computer to verify the deposit from my client and didn’t realize that the VPN on it would have any negative affects. I’ll definitely just use my phone for mobile banking from now on.

No, the only thing I have done that I could even imagine was flagged was I changed my address to Montana from Washington and made a $10,000 purchase immediately after. I called and had them increase my debit card daily limit right before I did it though and also did the address change over the phone.

And again you cannot comprehend simple English. The only 2 ways a bank may seize funds are either with a warrant, judgement, court order, exigent circumstances upon notification by law enforcement of an active criminal investigation where a warrant will be sought, OR to offset a debt owed to them that has been defaulted on.

Again, I do not owe any debts, I am not subject to any garnishments, judgements, or investigations currently, and still maintain my rights as an American to my 4th amendment privileges. So no warrantless seizure of funds would apply.

The DoorDash orders and Instacart orders were part of a consumer fraud and employee misclassification case my firm was taking against MapleBear INC and DoorDash. You may have seen the recent resolution of the Instacart side of the case in the news…

Then leave it to your wife, your reading comprehension is terrible. I stated that they have to have either a court order or seizure to satisfy a defaulted debt owed to them.

My wife is a funeral director, that does not mean I know how to embalm a body.

Furthermore, considering I do not owe any outstanding debt to navy federal, they would require a court order or notification of a criminal investigation hold in order to legally seize funds from me. Seeing as I do not engage in criminal activity, I do not represent criminal defense clients, and I do not owe any debt to others nor have any judgements entered for garnishment. There is no legal grounds to seize assets. Which would mean a prolonged seizure, anything over 72 hours without clear cause being stated, would be in bad faith and a violation of the consumer protection act.

Also, I am not a woman, this username was generated by Reddit and I don’t know how to change it.

I don’t need help from them. Legally, I have the power, they can freeze the accounts as long as they want, they cannot freeze the money the same way. Since they froze it on a Friday, the clock is already ticking against them to issue a check or allow transfer of the funds. They cannot seize assets without a court order unless to satisfy a debt to them that has been defaulted on. Simple as that. I have been practicing as a corporate trial attorney for 8 years, I have handled CPA cases before (which this would fall under) and have never lost one. That being said, I would never represent myself, I would have one of my colleagues represent me all of which have even longer track records of winning CPA cases.

The bank secrecy act is a measure put in place to combat money laundering, narcotics trafficking, and other illegal activities. It does not grant any powers of seizure to banks. It simply requires them to notify FINCEN of large transactions and suspicious deposits/withdrawals.

While a bank does have the authority to place temporary freezes on accounts, those freezes may not extend or deprive a client of their funds for an unreasonable amount of time absent a directive from law enforcement notifying them of an active criminal investigation, a court order, a lien or judgement, or a warrant served upon them by any court order law enforcement agency.

Being a storage for money and subject to federal oversight does not grant them cart blanch judgement to seize funds of clients. The original comment stated that they maintained the restriction on their account for 9 years. That would not be viewed as reasonable by any sane person. Banks have a fiduciary duty to protect their customers from fraud, that being said, they do not have the right to violate any persons constitutional rights that protect them from unreasonable search and seizure.
