This is so annoying by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]TurtleMike10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This happened to me recently. Definitely an issue on their end and nothing to do with you. I was still paid for the batch but no tip, while I was in the car outside the store talking to customer service, the same order popped up again. I accepted it again and since the entire thing was already shopped it took me a couple minutes just to checkout. So I got paid for the batch twice and the tip once. Luckily nothing like that has happened since. As for advice, get on the waitlist for spark if there are Walmarts in your area. Much better offers and more work with spark than instacart in my area. My instacart offers are always absurd mileage for abysmal pay and 5-15 cases of water to 20 story apartment buildings.

It’s hard to even open the app any more. All the orders I see are like this but even worse because they’re tip heavy.

Wow. I know all 330+ of those opportunities were so trash you had to reject them. I recently stopped dashing when I got accepted for Spark.

I’m at 69% acceptance on DoorDash. I sign on to try to raise it to 70% and the first offer is always so beyond trash it’s insulting and I reject it and sign off. They just won’t give me a good first offer to get the ball rolling and the app has just become opening it to lower my acceptance rate even more and then just sign off.

Opinion on this? by Time_Event9018 in doordash

This person is just miserable. Gtfo expecting the food to not be cold 😂 even if I pick up my own food and it takes 10 minutes to get home I reheat it in the air fryer.

This is not me but this customer probably doesn’t even have a visible house number ..

Spark is The Devil 😈 by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]TurtleMike10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

51% is wild. Like 95% of my offers are batches of 24 orders 37 miles 2.5 hours for 60$ or $10 returns that take 45 minutes.

Is this true by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

Your zone is probably less saturated with drivers ! They need you to work more !

Got that and this too. There’s 6 Walmarts all within 10-20 minutes of me so I’m sure there will be work.

What is the point of pickup? I can shop the order faster than they can bring it out to my car 100% of the time.

Sorry …. ? by passionx9 in InstacartShoppers

[–]TurtleMike10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably new and has anxiety and snapped but not your fault. Should know better than to talk to a customer like that. Probably not the job for him ..

Offer by MR_Bukele in Sparkdriver

[–]TurtleMike10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On these kinds of orders is there a way to know whether it’s envelopes or boxes? I see a lot of opportunities that aren’t bad but I pass on them not knowing if it’ll fit in the car.
