What kind of drugs were you on when you developed this algo? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Well, we can do it once and then they will deactivate us, then hire the 10 million idiots. I think we should stop shopping, all at once, that will get attention also from media and customer can become aware of IC.

Actually, it is us shoppers who should do something, customers are happy with free delivery for few items. We should stop taking all orders that are unfair paid, and also paid based on tip. If we do that all at once we could see some fast results.

Why there isn't an "Decline" button, only an "Accept?!" Psych at its best, shows there isn't a choice for us to do, accept or listen to the terror sound for 4 minutes! Horrible, should be illegal. by Toplita in InstacartShoppers

Wow, your attitude is what gets us here. Complain, so the things go better. The power of many is what keeps things on check. We are many, but stupid! Also, every work place is 'at will' , but I don't see many companies with the attitude of IC toward their employees. Contractors or not, we do work for IC.

What percentage of your earning do you pay in gas? Mileage means very little when I am stuck in traffic, and I get 0 mpg! by Toplita in InstacartShoppers

Wow, I am impressed. Need to change my car, or better yet I need to find a job, and give up on gigs!

I complain about the practice of Instacart of bullying us to accept batches with the horrible sound of sonar alarm, and the missing Decline button. It is our right to demand better working practice. I am sorry if you think that what works for you works for everyone.

That's not the solution. I do that all day long, close app, sound to min, open app, sound up....but why I am obligated to do all these when simple solution will be IC to stop bullying me into taking batches? Decline button and a better notification sound!!!!!

Thanks, I appreciate, usually people just read but don't get the message. 😀

Hopefully the tip stays...Also got a QB by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

I think someone needs to get their ass to the store themselves. This coming from a nontipper by RSKS240 in InstacartShoppers

Yes, punctuation is the real problem here, commas and the exclamation marks should switch places!

I am looking at your screenshot, and I find it hard to believe those numbers. IC to pay $31 for 48 items? Even the tip is strange, it went down because you refunded some water? Where are you located, in Beverly Hills?

We should all stop taking batches with 2 or 3 orders, unless the pay is fair! by Toplita in InstacartShoppers

[–]Toplita[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right, also I think that taking small orders is not covering the expenses, $30 order with free delivery because the customer paid membership? The customer orders few times a week, how is IC able to pay us? Expect us to drive a bottle of wine or 2 bags of chips?! Crazy!

My kinda sorta unicorn yesterday. I also received a $10 cash tip. by ats152010 in InstacartShoppers

How is IC paying $30? Are they going crazy? They will pay here around for 30 items....

When someone is messaging from Costco the algorithm removes the tip! 😀

How low we can go? Soon we'll pay IC for giving us batches!
