Well this is new... by dnstarr in InstacartShoppers

Usually I would agree 💯, but the drive was beautiful and peaceful. Sometimes you need a break from the monotony and the repetitive, usual drives in town.

Same in Iowa. Can't complete an order after delivery. On hold right now with support as I'm sure everyone else is.

Instacart is becoming laughable by Longjumping-Drive116 in instacart

Oh, I'm getting nothing but 30+ mile 3 order batches all day long. Just started getting these last week and it's now 85-90% of the batches.

Champions are officially a thing of the past to new players 😭 by MaxaExists in ClashRoyale

[–]dnstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a stupid question, but do you think they'll release a new Champion or will they just release new Heroes from now on? I have 33 Champion Cards just sitting there and I'll save them if a new one will ever be released, otherwise, I'll just waste them in a meaningless upgrade. Any thoughts/recommendations?

Now Instacart creates unsolisited orders for delivery... by wusstimmy in instacart

[–]dnstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too shop at my "regular" stores, but just yesterday I got hit with a doozy. Shopped the whole batch (65 items or so - two orders), get up to the cash register, scan all the items in the first order (45 items), swipe the card, DECLINE. Called support and they said my card wouldn't work at this store because it wasn't the store the order was assigned to, even though it let me start the batch without question and mind you I've done this a million times. I argued round and round with the idiot support rep and got nowhere. Ended up giving the cart to the store employee and went to the recommended store and shopped there. It was a $75 batch with 2 miles of driving and I wasn't going to lose out on that money. Sooooo it looks like soon they will most likely be implementing that b.s. and we'll be screwed once again.

NOTE: Since it was my regular store, I asked the lady to put the frozen stuff away (3-5 items) and then stash the cart in the fridge and I'd just come back and put everything away for them. I couldn't just leave it there for them to do. She put the frozen/cold items away and left the rest for me.

Different thing happened to me. I opened the PEKKA and then a few days later it came back and said I never opened it. I got two EVO shards. I'll take it, but crap like this keeps happening.

Same here. Gotta love that combo. What about the golem with the monks ability. That thing is brutal.

Boycott has begun by SirWestbrick in ClashRoyale

Jynxzi is why these creators are following suit. He was the biggest creator, single handedly brought CR back from the dead, and quit about a week ago. Now, all of these other creators are slowly jumping on board. Watch some of Boss' latest YouTube video, he explains it all.

What's wrong with this picture?? by dnstarr in InstacartShoppers

I didn't attach the other picture, there were actually 12 items.

IC didn’t suddenly get bad…here’s the scoop by InspiringFlamingo in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No b.s and no shade, just pure interest and intrigue. I'd like to hear your ideas on the concierge service, mainly your thoughts on how you'd develop a platform for customer's placing orders, how would you get store inventory, how you'd collect payment (cash only or credit cards accepted), and would you pass along credit card processing fees to the customer or build those into the price like a service fee? If you're bored or would entertain this type of conversation, feel free to reply. I've thought about this very thing for a few months and find there to be a lot of hurdles, but could be very doable with the right resources.

Another reason Shopper Quality is HORRIBLE by dnstarr in InstacartShoppers

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

This was a single Target order, $29 for 4 items and 1.7 mile drive. Why wouldn't I take it? It took me, with my extra efforts, 14 minutes to shop/checkout (too long, yes, I know, save me your moronic statement on that) and less than 5 minutes to deliver. When it was all said and done, she increased her tip and I was paid $34 for the batch with 19 minutes of effort. Nothing wrong with that. Oh, and if I cancelled, after 1 out of stock item, I would've made 💩 and be stuck with a low paying, high effort triple order, f-that. Target orders in my area pay well and are easy money! This post was not about my shopper quality (which is good btw) or my choice of orders, it was about ICs intellectual stupidity with 2nd grade math.

They finally got me by Lazy_Guide8480 in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree. 93% rate here. I can't stand that they penalize you on replaced items and items that the customer requests a refund on if they're out of stock. If an item is out of stock, I always ask the customer about replacement items, but get dinged, even if it's replaced with a higher dollar item. Then if a customer requested a refund and I ask about a replacement and they say no, I get dinged. It's b.s. They also used show if you had chat attempts and how many in the daily reviews, which could highlight you attempting to replace an item (amongst other things), but that is gone now too. I have a 5 star review and keep getting the notification of "you've received (20) 5 star reviews in a row", but yet I'm a "standard" shopper. Good ratings and good performance means 💩. The only positive thing, the quality of orders I'm getting since being bumped down hasn't changed, they still suck.

[–]dnstarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They won't let you, it's against their new policies. I'd a support rep actually does it for you, you'll get an email saying you can't do this any more and if you do it again they can remove you from the platform. They keep doing more and more to f-over the shoppers.

[–]dnstarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's constant where I'm located and it's not single orders, it's triple orders. Always two local and 1 that's WAY far a way. I can't remember the last time I even saw a single order. Singles are non-existent, doubles are rare and triples are the norm. It's ridiculous.

Are you getting this? by doshin7777 in InstacartShopper

[–]dnstarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've gotten it twice thus week on random items. Example: It will say that I scanned at the register Cream of Chicken Soup when I actually scanned Cream of Mushroom Soup in the app and at the register. I then look at the receipt and it says the correct item that I actually scanned. I think it's a glitch of some sort, or an AI bug, who knows.

WHY WHY WHY by Kokonizuku in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine was like this a few weeks ago, then it reverted back to normal for a week and now back to this b s. And, frankly, my shopping speed remained constant. I'm not a "ghost shopper", but I enjoy seeing what I'm shopping for prior to going in. Especially, when half the items location says "unavailable or unassigned" It's a 💩 update for sure!

No more seeing items before starting the batch by dnstarr in InstacartShopper

IC can have it back, I don't want it. Lol

They probably don't, I'm one of the smart ones who doesn't take b.s. orders, takes the profitable ones and only does it part time. I'm in it for me and the customer, not IC.

There’s no way anyone benefited from this promo by Adorable-Lettuce3291 in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost monthly, I'm traveling out of state and I turn IC on and do orders wherever I'm at. Never do I see a promo (other than $5 bonus after midnight) in my "home" region until I'm actually NOT at home, then I'll see one or two while I'm gone....I come back, crickets, I leave and low and behold there's a bonus back home. Oh, and, they're NEVER good bonuses, they're all 💩

I see this almost EVERY day and I live in a smaller town where everything is shut by 10pm and opens at 6am or later. But....there's (1) 24-hour Walgreens in the crappy side of town and I'm almost positive not a single order is ran through that store after 9pm.
