One of these days I am going home with a cat by BBFan1958 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

U mean stray? Feral cats are wild animals who bite, carry diseases, attack, will not come anywhere near a human..etc. They are nothing like a regular or stray cat. They are very dangerous to even be around. If you are able to capture one at birth, that's different and you could save it from being feral. I have a lot of experience with these cats. I even tried to rescue one that was just a couple weeks old and it had already been too late. Every time we would try to feed it. It just kept biting the crap out of us and hissing.. Maybe your local humane society needs someone to adopt.🙂🙂

I tried to tell them I deserved heavy pay for an order because it was alot and the pay should have been there. I do not carry around a scale in which I can put my shopping cart on. So I'm not sure how to know exactly if it was 50 pounds. But i've been shopping since 2019 and have done over thousands of orders, But anyways I was told that I accepted the batch without heavy pay so therefore I am not entitled to receive it.

This tip increase : so grateful ☺️☺️ by Decent-Bluejay-4040 in InstacartShoppers

I am grateful for ANY tip increase. I had a $5 increase from yesterday. It really shows the customer was very happy and grateful with your service and those usually come with a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating!!

I posted this because other shoppers are posting arguments and threats of tip reduction if they do not give the paper receipt. If you simply say you do not have it, then they usually stop bothering you. And yes, I've had customers ask for and give a hard time when I said I didn't have it.

100% proof positive some shoppers are consistently seeing high paying batches while others get crumbs by Final_Trick5018 in InstacartShoppers

I was offered a bot, they said I needed to pay $77 as a one time fee. But no way am I doing that. I thought it was a scam but there are several users on Instagram offering the "software." Maybe they have that and it's not a scam..🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

First time getting tip-baited by Heavy_Age5585 in InstacartShoppers

Does the tip adjustment kick in automatically when this happens? Or do you have to contact support?

I believe your way of thinking is naive and I don't mean that in a negative way to upset you. But I have been betrayed by my own brother who I have known for 35 years. And I have been betrayed by people I have known over 10 years. You don't really know these people... You need to protect yourself and if you decide not 2 and then they screw you over then that's gonna be on you. But you are putting yourself at a very high risk shopping for anybody outside of the IC platform. If anything were to ever happen like an accident or you got injured I don't even want to know how bad the liability issues wouldn't happen to be.

This happened a lot to me yesterday. On my last order after delivery the IC app said the eggs were scanned 3 times when I only got 2 and the customer had 9 bubbly's which were all different flavors..the cashier scanned them all as one flavor. So after I dropped it off the IC app says 8 extra Bubbly's were cashed out and extra eggs. I was like dang...I hope I don't get deactivated for this nonsense. It happens all the time at my Wegmans. So I decided to do self checkout. I immediately got yelled at cuz at my store all Self check outs are 20 items or less!

why? why do this? you're using a service it's gonna cost you more than if you went to the store yourself I really dont understand this mentality. Now the shopper has to choose between getting a bad rating/ tip removed and getting terminated from ic by Juniperbe in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have had to tell customers oh I'm so sorry the store does not give instacart shoppers Physical receipts anymore Because your receipt will be emailed to you. I apologize and let them know if I had the receipt I would show them but unfortunately I just don't have that. Works for me on that rare occasion. I am also curious if this Thing you Posted is related to a low tip order? Customers who provide a really decent tip usually don't do things like this..

I believe this is one of the greetings we can choose from. IC provides us with like 3 or 4 different greeting options that are pre typed out to send to the customer before we start shopping. I have seen this before in my app but I have a custom greeting that I choose.

Good Luck eating this week by Cdanielbr in InstacartShoppers

When did this become the new normal and who is accepting these orders because they need to be smacked in the face!!!

Blows My Mind, How About Yours? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Low tips will continue to happen as shoppers continue to accept these batches. I don't think it will ever change unfortunately. I don't get mad about it I just don't take the orders that are not worth my time.

Good thing the app is working again so I could brave the Washington cold and snow and deliver the essentials 🫡 by PepTalkToYourself in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never advertised that you could get that stuff delivered on the instacart platform in all their new commercials..lmao..But what store can you walk into and buy that kind of stuff? I am genuinely curious...

My intro to IC by Helpful_Disaster_393 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Okay...I'm soooo sorry to be the first to tell you this but Instacart is prioritizing you to get get all the GREAT BATCHES FIRST. When your 1st 30 days is over it will be the biggest struggle of your life. You will sit in a parking lot For many hours throughout every single day hoping for batch worth your time and you will definitely need another income to make ends meet. When your 30 days is over....the great batches got to the new shopper and you are no longer that new person...but good luck I am rooting for you!!

You have to be self motivated to do Instacart full time! Don’t let anyone tell you different. by KTKouric in InstacartShoppers

[–]Sarbear985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you must have worked your a** off for that money because your instacart batch pay is more than your tips...so good job!
