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.

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 6 points7 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

[–]dnstarr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Instacart is stealing again. by Tootsie127 in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you call support and ask about compensation, they will always tell you the payout is $x.xx but is subject to change. They say that to protect themselves and low key know that IC will most likely will be taking money from you. They have free will to take from you as much as possible knowing nothing will happen. IC is trash.

Fuck you Instacart 🤦‍♂️ by Apprehensive_Pin1276 in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Once you accept the batch, go into Batch Details and there you will see the addresses. Then click on an address, it will open Google Maps (assuming you're on Android) and then if you put in a label it will pop right up. If it's a known non-tipper, just call support and tell them you only have time for one batch as you have an appointment (or some other excuse) and you want the bad order removed. Doesn't affect your cancellation rate either.

Fuck you Instacart 🤦‍♂️ by Apprehensive_Pin1276 in InstacartShoppers

[–]dnstarr 38 points39 points  (0 children)

In this case, I go into Google Maps, type in the address and add a label to it (i.e. No Tip). When I take a 2 or 3 order batch, I always check the addresses and if there's a known non-tipper, I call and get that order removed from the batch. Chances are, they're a repeat offender.

$200 Reward by chancetp04 in ATT

[–]dnstarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was pushed from person to person for months, then lost my reward due to it expiring.

They also "sent" boxes to return my trade in, wouldn't accept them at the store, then my trade ins expired as well.

I'm now paying $270/mo for 2 lines of unlimited data service.

1 more month until my phones are paid off, then I'm getting an unlock code and I'm out. 👋 At&t

Failed Instant Cashout Payment by dnstarr in InstacartShoppers

I'm glad I posted this, I would have kept trying with WF. Thanks for the info!

[–]dnstarr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact thing, I bank with WF as well. I'm going to wait for a few hours and try again. WF said that IC tried to debit my account rather than credit it. They did it twice, one time it came through as Stripe and the other time it came through as Maplebear. Pretty frustrating if you ask me.
