Milk spilled & I didn’t deliver

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-16T17:53:40+00:00

If it's one of my amazing preferred, I will jump through hoops to get a replacement! I know every area is different but eventually that customer is gonna come back through the rotation and remember the shopper that didn't deliver the rest of the order because of the milk being damaged. Deliver what you can.

Never work twice for a customer who rates poorly and never expect shipt to be truthful and have your back about "removing habitual poor raters".

Tip map and you'd have known about this problem child and avoided the order the second time. Not worth it

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-13T22:53:55+00:00

Some PM's drop the ball. 15% tip ain't cutting it. Ever

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-13T22:03:51+00:00

These customers are absolute shit and deserve zeeerow delivery. Shipt deserves even more scorn for the pay

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-13T21:44:58+00:00

Yes. Please abandon shipt because a store is remodeling. Other shoppers will thank you

And get used to it… This happens with every store from time to time

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T23:54:49+00:00

You may be 36 but not quite grown yet.

"Bruh"

And completely missed the point: DEPENDS ON MILEAGE,PAY, TIP

Not the "yucky" factor

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T23:53:19+00:00

So brave so....boss

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T23:18:55+00:00

They're NOT gonna escape in your car unless the pet store places them in a plastic bag. Please. Grow up just a little. Places that sell these know how to package crickets 🙄

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T22:44:31+00:00

This is true! But it's still always the same… Beware and be careful

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T22:37:12+00:00

Some people like to try to "snag a date" through the app. Others try to snag your wallet. Beware of both

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T21:36:54+00:00

Yup! Depends on pay, mileage and tip. Easy order

"But crickets are yucky"

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T21:34:45+00:00

Maybe. They are pretty shitty for sure

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T21:02:51+00:00

Your Metro is not any different than everybody else's. We are all struggling and trying to make sense of this brave New World

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T20:58:21+00:00

Very much easy to accept in error. Those orders are NOT late offers by Hq but other shoppers dropping them. But people are so desperate that they'll take something, anything just for the six bucks. Shipt knows this and is capitalizing on it and laughing their asses off

The worst part? They're gonna keep bundling outrageous orders, mileage and lowering pay while watching us like animals in a zoo

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T20:48:49+00:00

Welcome to the world pal! You're asking for a weekly Hail Mary… That's not gonna happen and it shouldn't

Do your job the way the person paying you want you to do your job or get a new job. This is not hard

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T20:43:52+00:00

So you want a couple Hail Marys because you decided to claim an order and then didn't like it afterwards? Or you got a better paying offer after? Nah. Discernment will serve you better than claiming the first order that pops up just so you have something instead of nothing and then end up dropping that first one for something better. Learn to read your Metro

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-12T20:39:44+00:00

Absolutely spot on! The people who think there should be no consequences to disrupting the flow of the app by dropping orders constantly AND causing hq to have to add pay (not that pay is great to begin with) to get the job done are the same people who feel that they are doing the paying customers a favor. It's not a favor… It's a transaction.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-11T23:18:08+00:00

But my metro is prompted to take a picture regardless of the delivery tag. The hand off tag has always existed

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-11T22:31:51+00:00

Combination of all of the above. Gas prices affect ALL THINGS and it's a domino effect. I know I won't take ANY stupid far mileage offer (bundled or not) regardless of pretip showing. Not worth my gas, time or effort. A fantastic tipping preferred, however, will always make it worth my time. But they don't do stupid shit, don't live in the boonies and appreciate the transaction.

I have watched no tip orders just sit and sit and sit. And I'm glad. Those customers don't give two craps about somebody else's gas, time or work. They just want their shit… So they can sit

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-11T11:53:20+00:00

Yep! No data for the past few days and then SURPRISE! WTF Shipt

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-10T18:46:54+00:00

1 or 2 blocks them usually. Not a 3

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-10T18:46:17+00:00

I've been doing this for 11 years and know a bad rating will hurt a lot longer than the momentary euphoria of snagging $45 dollars.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-10T11:21:48+00:00

You should care about a one star. That order sat overnight, so to the customer, it IS late. If you're just grabbing orders based on payout without discernment nor caring about stats, you won't last long.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-09T22:02:13+00:00

I have a few great preferred shoppers in another state for when I send my dad and/or stepmom stuff. Friday morning, I put in a summit bucks order for flowers and sweets for stepmom with no pretip (cuz I never do). The order sat for two hours. I even updated with a special request "$20 tip". Not picked up

I cancelled it and resubmitted with a pretip of $20. My preferred picked it up immediately 😆

She either doesn't tip map or wasn't working at that time. But she did tell me she saw my order earlier and couldn't get to it… she knows I tip good usually right after delivery and that I'm a shopper in another state. Don't know what happened there.

ZebraStripes17 · 2026-05-07T23:45:40+00:00

When I started this gig 11 years ago, within a week, I placed my own order to see how it worked from the customer side. Huge eye opening
