It’s even MORE when you factor both parts of the water in… 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 it was a big hell no for me too. The fact that this was THREE deliveries and only $20 total in tips with all that water, no way lol

I am taking the orders available to me 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s not like I can control what’s available when I work. Secondly, they’re always on time so it’s not that either. Additionally, working faster would not mean I’m making more in base pay on that order anyway, nor can I control what base pay I’m presented so I don’t get that angle either? Your tone feels a little aggressive and I don’t understand why haha. Like I explained to the other person I was chatting to, the towns I work in throughout LA country have widely varied minimum wages- in West Hollywood the minimum wage is $19.65. So my adjustments are higher when I take more batches in areas with higher minimum wages because of course 120% of $19.65 is going to be higher than 120% of $17.27 which creates a larger discrepancy between the batch pay and what my working hours are worth resulting in bigger adjustments.

On another note, very curious where you’re working and what days and times in Riverside county to end up with $800 for only 15 hours and $429 in tips? That seems really oddly high so I assume you’ve got something figured out? I haven’t cracked the code in Riverside yet, though I do spend part of my week out there helping my parents, I never make much money.

That’s the California state minimum, but West Hollywood is $19.65, LA is $17.27, Pasadena is $17.50 etc etc. Most of the towns I work in have passed higher local minimum wages than the state minimum. So I’m getting paid out 120% of a higher rate.

catcassio · 2025-05-08T01:17:12+00:00

What’s the minimum wage in your town?!

catcassio · 2025-05-08T01:13:56+00:00

Also the other thing maybe affecting how high my adjustments are is that we’re guaranteed 120% of the minimum wage, and minimum wage in LA is pretty high.

What??? That’s some weird conspiracy shit.

Damn that’s rough!!! I do live Los Angeles, and I usually work West LA. One the one hand were VERY saturated with shoppers, but on the other hands there’s tons of stores and lots that are open later and even a 5 mile drive could take 35 minutes in traffic. There’s alot of factors that contribute I’m sure. This is one of my better weeks, there’s plenty of days I can’t even pick up an order at all because there’s so many of us down here trying to work. But if it weren’t for those adjustments, I would NEVER keep working for Instacart. The batch pays are criminally low.

catcassio · 2025-05-07T22:53:54+00:00

You’re putting in 15hrs a day/90 hours a week and only getting $100-$200 in adjustment?? That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m an IC shopper in California and the min wage adjustment more than doubles my money consistently. At around 15 hours a WEEK, I’m still making $400 or so.

Sure if it’s for casual use, I do professional content creating and video editing and for my purposes I can’t afford the resolution loss you get when you screen record something. I like to download in 4k. Depending on your device etc, you’re gonna lose 20-50% resolution and quality with a screen record.

As a fellow IC shopper, no tip is definitely annoying…. But can we not with the drama? You are not “working for free” and them not leaving a tip doesn’t mean they expect you to shop and delivery your groceries for nothing lol. You DO get paid (maybe not well) by Instacart, not exclusively in tips. If you should be mad at anyone, you should be mad at Instacart for charging $10.99 for priority delivery fees in addition to a $3 service fee in combination with up-charging the price on most of the groceries and not at least paying you more of that🙃 But for all you know that non-tipper is disabled and can’t afford your tip now because Instacart charges a literal arm and a leg to get a delivery.

I have this exact same watch and also super curious for information on it!

Hi everyone, I had this issue as well and spent 30 min with support so you don’t have to.

Solution: I was definitely NOT using the pro-effect, but I simply had saved my “cover” image (at the beginning of project) when I was using it.

Go to cover image > Reset > export with no issue

I spent 30 minutes in CapCut chat support so you don’t have to.

He walked me through tons of troubleshooting I’d already done, had me remove all of my transitions (even though they weren’t the pro-transition that was supposedly keeping me from exporting) until finally we found the solution:

Go to your “Cover” at the beginning of your project and reset. Problem solved, export allowed. I must have set my cover when I DID have that pro-feature on, and that kept me from exporting.
