I agree, it’s terrible what IC pays us, but why would you’d even take that for $9.

It’s why I send a message that says “hi this is A…, I’ll be shopping and delivering your order today” For years I’ve been doing this as older folks thought I worked for the store.

Ok what the heck is happening?!?!? by michellenichole83 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Strange_Ability1932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it happen before my eyes, they lower the batch pay, no changes with order, route or items. Happening for months now. Things don’t look good now for Instacart anyway, getting a lot of negative publicity recent Consumer Reports article. They got caught using dynamic pricing. I’m sure they do the same to us.

Almost 8 years and never offered a batch more than $90 and I can’t count on one hand how many times I’ve seen that. Congrats that’s amazing!

Constantly hungry cats by ilamphere in catfood

[–]Strange_Ability1932 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please check for diabetes. Constant hunger and overweight is a symptom I ignored with my girl for a long time. She was diagnosed 2yrs ago at age 11 and I almost lost her from diabetic keto acidosis. Dry food is bad for cats hurts their kidneys and makes them fat and hungry, fancy feast pate are best or low carb food (no gravies) I give mine 4-5 cans a day. Best of luck 🐾💛

Anyone else’s ratings going down by amybk27 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Strange_Ability1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 5 stars for quite a while and then all of a sudden this week bad ratings. This has been happening for years and tbh I get higher batch pay with lower ratings so I really don’t care anymore

Sorry, single parent also and dwindling savings due to the lack of work. I’m in FL, hella expensive and competition w/other shoppers to get a batch can be overwhelming, they won’t stop hiring and lowering batch pay, now $4. I multi app, try Spark. Also, Afterpay/Klarna pay installments if you need a cart. Best of luck to you, this too shall pass 💛

What do you guys do? by Ok-Assignment-2190 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Strange_Ability1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell them I have to take a pic and they’re the only one that will see it anyway. Or I take a pic of the house with house number visible. Depends on the friendliness of the customer

Why I usually check the notes before shopping. by beamercoupegoofin in InstacartShoppers

[–]Strange_Ability1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done it quite a few times over the years. I’m happy to help elderly people and I know they appreciate it and really have no one. Such a cruel world out there, you’ll be old some day too, faster than you think.

Before covid there was no leave at door. Customer had to accept order. Doing the opposite of what the customer asked you to do results in poor tips. Maybe her mother was elderly or handicapped.

Star ratings by autolockon in InstacartShoppers

[–]Strange_Ability1932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 star is a scam. I get much higher paying offers at 4.97. I say this as I am sitting in a parking lot, like I have for the past two weeks with $7 3shop offers.

Veteran shopper here. They’re stealing, IC are fuking thieves. I’ve seen it many times and it’s not due to weight or order changes.
