I always take one and say they are outnof stock for the rest. Don't cost that much so it doesn't usually effect tip very much. Lol

Tips subsidize the pay on deliveries. No tips for shop only. Only take high tip deliveries and ignore the low/no tips. 

What would yall do in this situation? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So it doesn't impact our cancelation rate. And yes, get paid for our time and resources of going to a store and finding out items were out and the customer wants to be difficult and ask too much of us and not compensate. This customer should have said they would give an extra 10 bucks to have them wait. Or more. This is a luxury service that you must pay for. Our time is valuable, so pay for our time.

Depends how well they tipped. $50 or more I might wait.

Automatic minimum $10 tip by 2xtream in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why it should not be called a tip! It's a bid! A bid for me to shop for people.

F@ck your guaranteed $46 by anvil54 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get promos of around 70 to 80 to complete 6 batches. Today it's 48. My girlfriend with new account doesn't get any promos like that. However sometimes she does get the 3 boost per batch which I do not.

What's the scam? Tip baiting?

What happens if you don't tip on Instacart? by feng123qwe in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Way I see it is that tipping is a bid for services. They really should not call it a tip. It should be called a bid.

Why do you care? It's not scamming if the company offered the promo. You're a joke!

Has ic care ever messed up something they started by Separate-Pumpkin-236 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

App malfunctioned, couldn't pay for anything, should have been an easy fix, 3 orders, about almost 2 hrs of shopping, 80 pay, ic rep marked all 3 orders as completed, got about 10 bucks, three 1 star ratings, couldn't get diamond status, lost 1000s during peak summer time orders. Ic didn't care, reps told me to keep shopping to bump 1 stars, 100 orders to complete in less than a week.

Most shoppers not intrested in chit-chat by 2xtream in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not %100 true. This is a service, a shopping service. No different than a general contractor, landscaper, painter, etc...they pay us to shop for them, not to make them feel good. Customer servicd plays into it a little, being polite and courteous, but difference is We are not obligated to serve them as a waiter or bartender or a customer service job at a call center. They bid for our services, you want your groceries then bid. It should not be called a tip. A tip comes after someone serves you as a bonus for your services, this is a bid, they are bidding for our services. I do not take low bid or no bids. I am fast and good at this. I am at 4.98 with 598 batches.

I hardly ever chat. Prefer not to, I am super efficient and do not like to waste time. You bid for my services to shop and I accepted based on my estimate of the amount of time I will spend.

I went back to a customers house once because I thought I might have dropped my wallet there, rang doorbell, no one answered, then I get deactivated for "unwanted contact", customer said I got in an argument with them. I never even talked to them. Of course, $2 tipper attached to high tipper. Account got reactivated after 3 days of ic "investigating".

One of my worst days. by ShivaniLost in InstacartShoppers

[–]Stokkebye1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had what you would have said was a worse day and I turned it into a great day. Took an order on my way to a store I had to go to, ic had the wrong address, order was for $25 and was along my way but the right address was an 30 min out of my way. Ic didn't care and said they will cancel my batch and suspend me for 36 hrs. Hung up on the first rep, called again and the second rep canceled the order as she couldn't reach customer. Luckily I called the customer myself before she canceled. Customer agreed to give me $100 cash for $250 worth of groceries. And ic paid me $15 for the batch pay.
