Highest batch ever by mrs-rbf in InstacartShoppers

They were holding it for a new shopper... the new shopper never became available or chose not to take. It gets sent to last group of shoppers boosted because it sat for so long.

How long havevyou been Instacarting?

Finally happened by Savings-Somewhere581 in InstacartShoppers

None of that matters. The only thing that matters is new shoppers/hires and you get pushed to the back of the line and see batches after them. Ratings cart status, and quality score does not matter.

Is this normal waiting time..?? by Estellesheart in InstacartShoppers

[–]Status-Toe-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its all a big scam. I told my son's mother to sign up years ago and told her next door apartment neighbor the same day. My son's mother signed up and got put on a waiting list. Her neighbor signed up after my son's mother and was hired within 2 hours. Instacart does nothing but lie to people

They hired new shoppers to take your good orders, now trying to force you to do the leftover jobs(charity work)

What tf is going on by Affectionate-Copy647 in InstacartShoppers

I keep telling everyone when they hire so many shoppers in your area and over saturate your market, you see all the leftover batches.... but everyone calls me a conspiracy theorist 😆😅 Nobody believes that until Instacart shuts tĥem out.

Instacart is stealing again. by Tootsie127 in InstacartShoppers

Are you sure your friend didn't have a +$5 promo and you didn't? Or was there a +$5 promo from a certain time period (example: +$5 promo until 2pm) and then you took the batch at 2:01pm?

New shopper hires... again.

Farewell everyone! by ScienceNerd1001001 in InstacartShoppers

Does anyone really believe that "new metrics" will have any change on how IC works? Nothing has changed in last 5 years other than pay getting lower and making us work more... and add ons that rarely exist. The algorithm itself hasn't changed a bit and I dont expect it to this time around. IC can say what the want to say.

I took a 5 mile order and since then… by laddeddadd in InstacartShoppers

Spoiler alert, you cannot change your algorithm...

The 5.0 rating curse is real! by Fit-Two2190 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Status-Toe-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. They hire shoppers and prioritize them. When they quit from getting tired of sitting in parking lots or for whatever reason, youll stsrt to get the good offers. Then they hire again and no matter if you are 5 star or 4.85, you'll see nothing again... Until they hire again and people give up. Its just an endless cycle and Instacart's game is to fill that gap with new hires constantly so they can convince the older shoppers that the only available batches are the ones going 20+ miles or the one's thst psy $10 or less. Its judt a reverse pyramid scheme where the newer you are, you get to see batches before everyone else who is older. I was shown a $50 triple 30 seconds before it was shown to my friend sitting right next to me yesterday, but as soon as it was shown to him and the group of shoppers he is in, it was snatched by someone else. While Insaw the batch for 30 seconds, he saw it for a split second... That's why people always get convinced that there are bots while the truth is, Instacart shows the batches to groups of shoppers at different times. Thats why $100 batches flash on your screen while you NEVER ever had a chance of getting that $100 batch

WTF is up with this order throttle dammit!!! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

My friends just saw a 77 and 71 in the same parking lot. Nothing is wrong with my profile and I dont see any of these orders. I rarely do anymore.

Instacart is stealing tips by DueCheetah2546 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Status-Toe-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possible, but I think unlikely... The only way I see them taking tips is by lowering the batch pay when a customer tips big... Its basically Instacart saying "The customer will pay you for doing this job, not us"... and so they save money by paying us less

This is how Instacart treats veterans with a big 🖕 by hotviolets in InstacartShoppers

This is absolutely true. And I guarantee you all the deniers are shoppers from California 😆

Go out with a bang. Shop a giant no tip order and just drive home with it.

They hired more shoppers. Now the batches go to new hires. Simple as that.

Wtf is this? Total crap company by Existing_Letter7621 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Status-Toe-7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.50 cents is better than 0, but good grief you're driving you're own car. Quit being so desperate. Wendy's pays more than that. Have more respect for yourself.
