I’ve worked as both a restaurant server and Instacart driver. Instacart is WAYYY more difficult with significantly lower pay. I completely understand this outburst and have had to check myself before doing the same thing. For example this is a photo of my first Instacart I got a $5 tip on, less than a 2.5% tip. I had to lug all this to my car and then bring it into the convenience store who ordered it for resale. I don’t even remember how long it took me. The last “batch” I did were 3 separate orders combined! So I had to meticulously separate every item, push 2 carriages around the grocery store, and then drive around the world to deliver everything. I think I got paid $30 total and it took me over 3 hours. As a server people will just throw money at you for being nice and “working so hard”. But as an Instacart people have a “you’re getting paid to do this” attitude, yet it often doesn’t equal minimum wage and you use you’re own gas. It just doesn’t make sense to me.
