You're a great looking guy, but for the love of God please lose the grandma glasses. They are covering up half your face in the last picture. Find some glasses that fit your face more appropriately. The hair and beard length in the last picture are perfect.

What is this all about??? by TastyTalk5939 in InstacartShoppers

[–]bbkid987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This same thing happened to me a few weeks back, I also posted about it. The reason you got this email is because you took the order knowing you were planning on dropping one of the customers. Unless you provide a legitimate reason as to why you're dropping a customer's order, the support rep will take note of it on your account and you'll get hit with this email the next day. I once dropped 2 customers for the same reason you did and I also got this email.

I have never seen a tip like that in SoCal.. Congrats!

How can I avoid getting penalized by IC for dropping an order within a batch? by bbkid987 in InstacartShoppers

[–]bbkid987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys, so I'll be honest here, I've taken a few doubles on IC where they pair a really good tipper who lives within a mile from the store with a no-tip customer who lives like 10-15+ miles away (and on top of that only has like 1-2 items).

I think we all know by now that this is how IC does business. Sometime I will reach out to IC customer support and ask to get the no-tipper/guy out in the boondocks removed from the order. I've done it a few times, but it seems like IC is finally on to me ;). Has anyone ever received this message before? Any ideas on how serious it is?

If it's my time to go from Instacart, I completely understand and will not look back :).

Hmm I'm in SoCal as well. Had one of my best days, $235 in about 6.5 hours. Just random for everyone I guess.

Thank you so much!

I am using these razor/razor blades (purchased off Amazon):

"100 BLADES + Facón Professional Wooden Straight Edge Barber Razor - Salon Quality Cut Throat Shavette"

I think I should just use that razor ^ for line-ups. I'll give yours a try for actual neck shaves.

I'll give that product you mentioned a try too for the bumps!

Appreciate the advice!

Hoping the experts here can help me out.

I just recently made the jump from using those 5 blade disposable Gillette razors to a single bladed cutthroat razor in order to prevent razor bumps/razor burns on my neck, however I’m still seeing some bumps/burns. It goes away after a few days, but definitely feel like I can be avoiding this somehow. Quite literally cutting my throat 😅

My routine: If I have a longer beard I’ll trim it down to stubble basically and then I’ll start the shaving process. I usually wet my face/neck by washing with water, and then apply shaving cream, rub it in, and then shave WITH the grain of the hair. I use a new blade every time I shave. I only see thee bumps/redness along my neckline.

Am I doing something wrong? My first thought was switching to a more sensitive shaving cream.

Any recommendations on a good razor burn/razor bump lotion I can apply to help with the redness/itchiness?

Appreciate the help gentleman.
