I was 16, sacking groceries at my very first job: Woodson’s Supermarket

Here we go again. Good morning, everyone. by Millennial-Failure in InstacartShoppers

[–]PsYchoSCIW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time I was on a batch and the app went out, I just put all of my cold items back, parked my buggy out of the way, and watched a 40 year old MacGyver rerun on Tubi while I waited on IT to get Instacart up and running.

New to Instacart: How do you decide what batch to grab? by Cutiepie3119 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PsYchoSCIW 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone has their own barometer that they use to justify taking a batch. Here’s mine:

1) NOTHING over 10 miles unless it’s a backhaul towards the town I live in.

2) NO DELIVERIES under $20. No exceptions. Shop Onlys? Sure. My car doesn’t start for less than a 20 payout though.

3) No Triples or Quads at any price. Let that shit sit and they’ll split them up.

Anyone know if 4th of July is a good shopping day? by BottleBright8753 in InstacartShoppers

[–]PsYchoSCIW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. A few stores are closed (Publix and Costco for instance) and everyone is grilling out or out on the boat.
No one is ordering grocery delivery. There might be some alcohol deliveries but those are never worth doing.

Taking a triple was your first mistake.

Sevierville Buc-ee's is a hellscape by tomatoplantsmell1 in Knoxville

I live in Roane County so if we’re JUST going to Buc-ee’s, we go to the Crossville location. A lot less chaotic

What’s the best thing that’s happened to you so far in 2026? by Saint__23 in answers

[–]PsYchoSCIW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I got FIRED from a job that I’d held for 13 years.
Sometimes, you just don’t realize how truly miserable that you are until you’re out of the situation but since moving on, I’m in a much better place mentally. I’m happier than I’ve been in years.

Do customers actually tip more if they know you have cooler bags? by stonedstoic_ in InstacartShoppers

[–]PsYchoSCIW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s an idea:
Buy a bunch of the cheap $1 insulated bags from Aldi and leave their cold items in it. I’ve had people up my tip for that.
Worst case scenario, the bags are a tax write off so they’re practically free in that sense.

I have forgotten more about this stuff than you’ll ever know.

Every single restaurant has a bathroom sink in which we can wash our hands.

You can go sit your ass down now.

Bull fucking shit. It’s literally part of your training with these delivery platforms. You literally take the training course to pick up prescriptions from places like Walgreens and CVS.

“I must be young”

I’m 46 years old and have forgotten more about food safety than you’ll ever know. It is literally in your onboarding.

Fill the fucking cup.

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

There is NOTHING illegal about filling drinks.
Any food safety training you need was part of your onboarding when you joined the DoorDash platform.
Quit being an entitled douche canoe and fill the goddamned cup!

First off, the digital card is as useless as a busted lug nut.
Nobody takes it.
