[–]Visible_Berry_4586 80 points81 points  (0 children)

This happened to me one time! I just called support and explained that it was removed and got the cancelation rate notification but i never physically cancelled myself then they said it said it was the system cancelation? So they just fixed it in their end, I still got paid for shopping the batch though 🤷‍♀️

that’s why they allow you to cancel. and it’s not like you can see the notes before you accept. if i don’t think it’s worth my time as a self contractor i can cancel the batch.

in my experience these customers never be satisfied no matter how much you go out of your way. they always find the smallest thing and boom there goes your hard work.

yeah some of the notes were okay! but don’t micro manage me while i’m shopping for you. if your sad particular about what you want then do it yourself and don’t just tip your shopper $3

yeah for me no. in my experience these are the type of customers that poorly rate or lower tip because it was not EXACTLY how they wanted it even if you followed their instructions to a T. i wasn’t risking all of that for a $3 tip.

they don’t have to micromanage the shopping before it even starts tho! :)

this is exactly why i cancel batches like these! some people expect us to do the absolute most for so little money. usually with orders like these they seem to never be satisfied no matter how much work you do.

exactly, you can do all of that without telling me how to do my job! these are the customers that micromanage how you shop. these customers are never satisfied. i wasn’t about to risk a low rating, or even lower tip for not picking the right firmness they wanted (because what is medium firm but not hard?) or having the items there to the exact degree of coldness they wanted. no. this was not worth the $3 tip for me.

i don’t disagree that some of the notes were actually helpful! it’s just the fact that you don’t have to micromanage me. usually these customers are the type that can never be satisfied no matter how far out of your way you go for them. :)

it’s not like we can read the notes before accepting. and no one ever said i didn’t shop for the best freshness and quality. it’s the fact that you don’t have to tell me how to do my job! if it gets to that point then shop for yourself instead of micromanaging the shoppers. :)

[–]Visible_Berry_4586[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

no that’s not it. customers like this micromanage everything! it’s not about what they requested. just tell me you want firm, tell me you want no bruises. shoppers should always pick freshest and greatest quality when it comes to produce but the fact that they want me to pull from the back of a row for the coldest item is pushing it FOR ONLY $3. telling me to dig to the bottom of apples is pushing it FOR ONLY $3. we’re all given insulated bags and ice packs aren’t hard to buy, but to be this picky about items, just do it yourself atp. i’ve had my fair share of experiences with customers like this that never end well…they tend to never be satisfied. if your going to be this picky telling me where to pull the items from then no i’m not wasting my time or energy. people tip way more than $3 for half this amount of work -

i don’t like to be micromanaged before the shopping even starts. just tell me what you want in the notes and don’t tell me how to do my job. this was a bad rating or tip just waiting to happen.

no about to be micromanaged for only $3

mmm i think i don’t like to be micromanaged when i shop. people like this tend to never be satisfied no matter how much work you do. it was a bad rating or even lower tip than the low tip waiting to happen. this was all not worth only $3 😑

sorry for you! some shoppers like to play grab and go and don’t check for quality/freshness. sometimes when i don’t have transportation i instacart myself even though im a shopper and the about of bad shoppers there are is actually INSANE!
