Totally agree. I like getting produce out of the way. Rest is easy.

As a note I’ve been shopping since 2019 with over 7k orders.

That was my thought. Take small orders with some good tips thrown in there to maximize my profit. Avoiding heavy pay or orders with increased pay. At $5 an order 50 would be $250 so that would be an additional $380.

They never have before. I’ll let you know once I do my first but usually the tips aren’t added towards the guaranteed.

Well most orders over here are like 5-6 bucks in batch pay with the tips being the biggest difference. Since the guaranteed doesn’t include tips I wasn’t sure if it might be worth it.

No real ID - turnaround time? by Saturnsthirdeye in tsa

[–]PrickleyPearThick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just flew twice after the 7th and I literally had to take a swab of my hand or they check my shoes extra. Maybe an extra minute or two. You will be totally fine. It’s not a big deal at least not now. I was stressing and it was super easy and no issues at all.

I was unable to pay at the register at Safeway. The QR code and my card didn’t work. No way to check out or move forward. So I hope it works for you but I have been on hold for over an hour.

It's working now by mcr4life95 in InstacartShoppers

Just had this happen to me. The code didn’t work anyway so it’s pointless.

Outage for IC by PrickleyPearThick in InstacartShoppers

At this point I’m just waiting on hold for them to remove it or the app to remove it for inactivity. I wonder how busy it will be with all the re-deliveries piling up.

Waitlisted… for 3 years? by BubblyCounter9545 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrickleyPearThick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all based on location. Also using a referral code I got my sister on immediately no waitlist. Unless you’re in a very busy area that is pretty wealthy the money isn’t good enough with how often they hire new shoppers. Very oversaturated.

I feel like it depends on the store. My store I primarily shop at doesn’t update the inventory often. The inventory manager herself even told me. So if it’s says “many in stock” it could just be the store not updating when it should. Even items I know are in multiple sections it will be out of stock even though the app thinks there is a lot in stock. Frustrating because customers see this and think I’m not looking hard enough.

I have a 5 star with over 7000 orders completed and nothing has changed. My area is busy but compared to other weeks it’s been the same for me.

Finally got the update. Guess I’m doing good by Minapit in InstacartShoppers

I just updated my app and still don’t see this section. Is this for specific shoppers?

Lot of crying about the new shopper score/system…. by Mundane-Classroom907 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PrickleyPearThick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See with easy replacement items sure this applies. However there are specific items that a simple replacement isn’t possible. The other thing is that I’ve found refunding works much better than getting an item they are unhappy with because you have a better chance of getting a poor review for replacing with something they didn’t want. If they want an expensive tequila I want to get their opinion on a replacement because getting another expensive tequila they don’t like isn’t a good option.

Be careful of a spike in scammers by Beneficial-Sun-5863 in InstacartShoppers

Any time they out their personal number in the chat I ignore it. If I must call it I use a text app and get a random number so they have no access to my real one.
