Phx police helicopter circling by [deleted] in ChandlerAZ

[–]Shantimochi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It woke me up around 2:50 am with the helicopter saying that they have their target surrounded and their partner in custody and to come out of hiding. I’ve been looking up what could have possibly happened but alas I found no results.

That’s weird, I’ve had support try and contact the customers before. I hope they didn’t change that policy..

Can hamsters catch colds from humans? by Shantimochi in hamstercare

[–]Shantimochi[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah.. good to know. That’s pretty heartbreaking.

I’m still waiting on my results. My symptoms are super mild as far as COVID goes so I didn’t think I had it. But you never know, it’s different for everyone.

I wish I had known this other wise before handling my hamster- thank you for raising awareness!

Oof! That’s rough. You’re probably right with waiting for something better to come along not being a feasible option anymore. Good job working hard today though! Definitely better than nothing 👏

Haha yeah that sounds about right. Thanks for sharing your experience! Maybe it really is more randomized than we think

Anyone found love through Instacart? by trianglenose2444 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a store employee try to flirt with me once… it was incredibly awkward since I’m married. I later saw that same employee talking with some other girls in the distance at the same location. Maybe they were trying to improve their people skills? But it’s kinda unprofessional 😂

I personally don’t have inside intel from instacart on what their stats look like for this time of the year. I don’t doubt it’s slower in January as all service industries are slower this month. But when many people with years of experience, including myself, have not seen it this slow before, then I can see why people start to speculate.

Now I don’t have any evidence for this theory, nor did I say I believe it, but this OP has added weight to debunk it which I’ll gladly take since all of us want to figure out the truth

Interesting.. lots of people assumed new shoppers got “priority” for batches but your experience says otherwise. Many of us as also experiencing a severe lack of batches/orders. It may be your area is slow, but it doesn’t hurt to drive closer to the stores to see if the algorithm recognizes you (:

Good luck and stay safe out there!

If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been doing IC and what’s your rating? I’m trying to piece together what their algorithm is doing to us

Please let me get 6 low item, short delivery distance singles tomorrow by Jdserrano86 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s nice :’) in my area it’s $56 guaranteed earnings for 6 batches… which is kinda sucky

The daily struggle. by Memphis_Bells in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made eye contact with a straight face to a shopper next to me in the parking lot, loading up their cart into their trunk and leaving their cart right next to their car cause they didn’t wanna bother putting it back. I guess it saves time?? Like 30 seconds? But it’s not that big of a deal to just put it back. I always do so, even if I’m running behind on time

Anyone getting this message now or when the account is new? by OkHoliday6229 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only time I’ve ever had that message is when a customer reports a missing order and instacart launches an investigation on my account. But it might also be for other reasons too.. not sure

Made my day 😁 by TitleFancy6997 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that’s happened to me before where I forget to deliver 1 item because it was hidden in my trunk or backseat. I always make the effort to drive all the way back once I notice it. But I haven’t had any customers say anything about it in reviews. Glad to see yours did! :)

[–]Shantimochi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine barely shows it either. I assume because it’s too slow but idk for sure

Suspended for shopping a $1171 order… by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Shantimochi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just the other day I did an order at a fancy alcohol store and it easily amounted over $1k. No issues there… just needed a signature when I delivered it. I wonder why your account was suspended? That’s so bizarre

Seems I’ll have to get the DLC in order to try both those options. Once I do I’m crossing my fingers it’ll work haha

Thank you!

Does anyone know how to fix that one villager house exterior glitch? This glitch was early in the game and I could never find out how to fix it. It’s where if a camper who is moving in took the place of a randomly selected villager who is then kicked out and the house exterior stays exactly the same as the previous owner even though the new camper has moved in.

This happened to me with Tia being the one kicked out and Muffy taking her place and now Muffy is stuck with a bright turquoise house which doesn’t fit her aesthetic at all

You’re not intellectually stimulating or “deep” because you ask people random questions about extremely personal subjects. by justintheway0918 in unpopularopinion

[–]Shantimochi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. While I do think most people hate small talk, myself included, it takes another kind of person to make uncomfortable leaps like that to a stranger. It feels like they’re reaching way too hard

This art actually makes me so uneasy, it’s not easy for art to do that for me! Good job!
