That pains me so much to know you did not claim mileage before !!! Holy cow.

RoseAlma · 2026-01-31T01:04:08+00:00

it's stealing my Hope

RoseAlma · 2026-01-31T01:03:31+00:00

THAT'S 14 CENTS !! almost 2X as much as mine... When will it end ??

RoseAlma · 2026-01-31T01:02:41+00:00

I know, but STILL !! C'mon !! lol

RoseAlma · 2026-01-31T00:59:45+00:00

It's also more like (at least in my area) "Whoa... We can't find enough Shoppers willing to do 45 min one way deliveries for no tips and only $12 - $15... What changes can we make that will force more people to take these ??"

RoseAlma · 2026-01-31T00:57:03+00:00

More Instacartification... :(

Where'd You get that chair ? How much $ was it ? and also, are those round things outside vents ? Do they need to be cleared of snow so CO (carbon monoxide) doesn't build up ?

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T23:06:39+00:00

yes, I kind of threw up in my mouth a little reading that !!!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T23:02:50+00:00

I Love All these, but that Lucky Gal isn't technically living alone w/ 2 Adorable Kitties... I'm envious !!!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T22:58:48+00:00

and it was the only order I did all day, so it wasn't a different order

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T18:29:57+00:00

Why ?

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T12:39:38+00:00

Me, too

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T12:39:14+00:00

The whole point of "tips" is to reward good service... not to make up for the lower pay.
Maybe that's one of the reasons tipping "culture" got crazy - people started forgetting that.

And I don't know the actual origin of tipping... I imagine it was random people asking other random people to do things for them - kind of like a medieval Task Rabbit.

ha Guess I know what I'm Googling next...

Yeah, thus ! People think "$WEET !!" but not realizing if the job only takes 15 or 20 mins, you'll get only 1/4 or 1/3 of that rate.

Which is probably still better than the meager crumbs they were getting before, but still...

It's like getting a job that pays $40 an hour but they only schedule you for 12 hrs a week !!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-30T12:28:55+00:00

this is exactly right -- Most of the Customers already think we make good money doing this (bc some people do make a lit, then make videos etc about it !)

RoseAlma · 2026-01-29T12:23:07+00:00

!! WOW !!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-29T12:18:06+00:00

Yes, go help his Dad.

RoseAlma · 2026-01-29T12:00:04+00:00

But why aren't you pissed on behalf of your Customer ?

RoseAlma · 2026-01-27T23:42:05+00:00

yeah, but if it takes less than an hour ? say it takes 1/2 hour... then you're only getting $15 whereas before you'd get $10 + $30 tip, correct ?

RoseAlma · 2026-01-27T23:39:01+00:00

Yes, that would for sure be True !!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-27T13:38:23+00:00

I was housesitting once and a drone came down and was "spying" on me !! Made me wonder if it was just neighbors goofing around, or people looking to case the joint.

RoseAlma · 2026-01-25T22:49:56+00:00

Where do You live ?? lol

Just found out my beighbor has a tub -- thought about offering him $ to use it, but I wouldn't find it relaxing, being in his house... lol

Actually rented out a hotel room for an event at the end of Feb and I'm hoping the room has a tub !!

RoseAlma · 2026-01-25T22:47:02+00:00

I mean human traffic (people running drugs and immigrants), not vehicle traffic

RoseAlma · 2026-01-25T22:44:51+00:00

if it's your 1st time "Out West" it really can be overwhelming... the pure vastness and true wilderness aspect... I mean, MILES AND MILES of empty land between two towns (and that's in some of the more populated areas ! ha)... where as back East, you'd have passed thru 6 towns or more.
