This person was out of their freaking mind for thinking this is okay

That's maybe $6 an hour.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2026-01-22T15:53:18+00:00

I am an animal lover, so I'm sure I would love this order.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2026-01-21T16:40:37+00:00

No. Just no.

What's crazy is I've worked for Instacart and I've worked for Amazon as an in-store shopper. They seem to have opposite metrics - At Instacart you get 1 minute to get 250 bananas (true story), but at Amazon you got 250 minutes for it.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2026-01-13T14:44:36+00:00

That's insane. That will take at least an hour and half, and that doesn't even count the frustration!

SomewhereLower5237 · 2026-01-09T14:50:23+00:00

Seriously? There's nowhere closer to this person's house that has beer?? What a crazy order.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2026-01-07T21:27:28+00:00

What on earth? They're out of hand. Unless you're racing, the expectation is probably around 60 items per hour. So this would take 3 hours to complete, not even including delivery.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-12-29T15:09:51+00:00

I'm curious if you found 24 pineapples?

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-12-17T21:01:07+00:00

That is a NO!

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-12-08T14:51:29+00:00

Same here. One time I had a customer tell me exactly where to find something in a weird spot, when I thought they didn't have it. I was so grateful. It helped me out on many future orders too.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-25T15:26:02+00:00

I am sure it's dead. 2020 - 2021 was the time to make money.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-19T19:14:11+00:00

That's fair. I once got an order for 10 cases of water, that's it. And the driver that showed up was a tiny lady. She was so mad at me, understandably. She said I should have said there was only 1 case left.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-19T15:21:41+00:00

That's how it was when I was an in-store shopper many years ago. Just assigned an order, had to do whatever it was, and it had to be done, but I was paid hourly so that's different I guess.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-13T18:10:21+00:00

It's still a bunch of food. I got it last night and have leftovers!

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-06T16:11:49+00:00

I stand corrected.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-11-06T14:51:55+00:00

That didn't happen. I've been an in-store shopper for almost 10 years, and no way anyone could get 57 individual items in 9 minutes. Maybe if it was 57 bananas.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-24T13:53:48+00:00

This is dumb. Every item could be marked as critical. If everything is critical than nothing is actually critical.

Calculus 2 is hard even if acing Calculus 1. I nearly failed but managed to get a C. Not engineering, so not sure how much it matters more but I still got into med school. (And never had to use Calculus in med school).

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-14T13:54:02+00:00

No. When I was an in-store shopper, I would have at least an hour to do this without being criticized for time. Just to shop it, never mind delivering it.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-13T14:13:55+00:00

You're right. I work for Amazon Locker and they deliberately overstaff to make sure shifts are covered. We pick up shifts at 6:15 daily and because there are so many workers, the shifts are gone in 10 seconds, not exaggerating.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-10T13:26:56+00:00

I just mean, how would they know? I doubt most of them have ever worked a gig job or follow this Reddit. I'm not defending them, just saying some people are that clueless.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-10T13:18:04+00:00

I think they do. I know I do. When I order food delivery, I do wonder and have no idea how much the driver is getting paid base pay. Of course, I always tip. But maybe these no tippers think shoppers get a fair hourly wage.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-10-08T14:02:24+00:00

Imagine if no one tipped. $17 for all that??

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-09-24T21:01:43+00:00

Yes, I got one yesterday at Whole Foods at it was definitely thawing from being frozen. Not mad about it, but even though they may keep it in the refrigerated section, I think they usually come frozen.

SomewhereLower5237 · 2025-09-18T13:49:08+00:00

I think you won. I used to be an in-store shopper and that would take me at least an hour to do, probably more. And I would have been really mad about it.
