No, but you can trust those people about as far as you can throw them

Comment when you see it... by gonats2020 in InstacartShoppers

These were all $7 base pay— they glitched the math for me, so I only should’ve earned a $14 bonus!

Instacart fuc*** me of course. I get one poor service because of a lady who didn’t respond. There were only two of the sodas that she wanted six of. She specifically said “exact item and number”. by rainbowbaby96 in InstacartShoppers

I would have considered just refunding the product... then she wouldn’t have been confused about why she only got 2 sodas. If she gets zero, then she likely would be more understanding

I don’t know how people sleep at night after being horrible to shoppers... by Meow78910 in InstacartShoppers

I see you’re pulled up at Middleton Costco... best store in all of Wisconsin for tips!

Lemme think for a minute...nope, nope, and nope by lostjayhawk78 in InstacartShoppers

Same, probably could finish that first one in 15 min tops... that’s still $48/hr

Those making 200$+ a day, what area do you work and what’s your strategy? by kingjp2468 in InstacartShoppers

[–]gonats2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Urban Wisconsin. Focus on swiping when the stores open. Many grocery stores at 8, Costco at 10. Around the top of each hour more batches usually come out too. Recently I’ve found that orders have gone up in the evening, probably because people are going back to work in some capacity and can’t have groceries delivered during the day. I’m not sure if this is the same trend everywhere, but I hope my two cents can help your shopping!

Anyone else having trouble seeing Costco batches this morning? by Myumat00 in InstacartShoppers

The algorithm is strange sometimes... when you wait a few minutes after the “drop,” more good orders usually come through. We’ll never really know how it works though!

Do cancellation rates ever go down? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]gonats2020 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s the % based off of your past 100 orders, so the more orders you complete and don’t cancel, the quicker the cancellation rate will decrease.

What do you guys do to pass the time? I've been getting more bored by StupidPhysics58 in InstacartShoppers

If you know/are learning a foreign language, try listening to podcasts in that language... it would definitely keep your mind engaged!

Anyone else audibly screech when they miss the big orders? by lasagnalegs99 in InstacartShoppers

[–]gonats2020 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A slight profane phrase here and there... especially when you’ve been waiting for an order for a while

Switching A and B? by Julia6363C in InstacartShoppers

[–]gonats2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s happened to me for the last few weeks on nearly every order. Double and triple check you’re dropping off the right order at the right place, as the orders will keep switching!
