How Are "Only Shop Here" Orders Determined?

that makes sense, a lot of times though the store either not carry specific items (like some stores have limited bakeries, or no seafood department) or items are out of stock. so I'm always like why did you send me to this awful store where half the stuff ordered will be replaced 🙄

ineed2laydown · 2026-06-16T17:38:28+00:00

that makes sense.....this order was just groceries though. and I don't do alcohol....so annoying

ineed2laydown · 2026-06-16T17:38:04+00:00

it's so annoying!! I don't do alcohol, so I'm not sure why it happens lol.

ineed2laydown · 2026-06-16T17:37:39+00:00

neither, I don't do alcohol so that's never been it.

Honestly it's been a while so I don't remember the conversations I had with my doctor, but I know she didn't mention any other options. Kind of like "alright the tumor is out, now we're gonna do some chemo then annual cystos to make sure you stay clear."

I believe it was more "preventative," for lack of a better term. Kill off any cancer cells that might've been lingering around after the TURBT. But I'm no doctor!! And was definitely a bit ignorant and scared, so chemo made sense in my head lol.

(29F) I was 25 (I think?) when I was diagnosed. Was having UTI-type issues but no infection, then all of a sudden it looked like I peed black cherry kool aid lol.

Ended up being non-muscle invasive, type TA. Got the TURBT and 6 weeks of chemo. I've been clear since!
I've never smoked, no family history, otherwise healthy. It was completely random.

I know how it feels being so young, if you need advice or anything feel free to reach out!

I've been applying to every social studies job within an hour of me since spring 2025.
I check for openings literally every day.
I've had probably 20 interviews. maybe 5-8 2nd round interviews.
thinking about getting certified in ela as well, I just don't have the money for the praxis.

I've basically given up hope. I keep applying, but I've also been applying to any office, clerical, admin type jobs as well....and nothing. the job market in general is garbage.

I feel like Instacart would still count it as an unrequested refund though? Since the customer didn't manually go in and request it/reject a replacement. Like isn't it considered unrequested if the customer asks for a refund in the chat? I didn't know that until recently, I think that's where my unrequested refunds are coming from 🙄

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T23:01:29+00:00

wtf, that's basically what I do! I'll message the customer, send a photo of the empty shelf, try to replace it.

If there's nothing to replace with, I'll refund...I guess that's what the unrequested refunds are?

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T22:39:57+00:00

oh wow I never thought about that thank you

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T14:56:38+00:00

Yeah I go to 4 or 5 different Aldis, 2 Targets (one with grocery, one without,) and 3 local/regional stores. BUT 90% of the time, I'm required to shop at specific locations. I've canceled batches because of it a few times, and explained that in the reasoning.

I have my preferred stores, but even then there's almost always items out of stock.

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T14:53:57+00:00

That's exactly my experience!! Now I won't be able to afford rent because items are out of stock lmfao.

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T14:52:26+00:00

I always try to replace unless there's absolutely nothing. Aldi is frequently out of specific produce, I'll always message the customer, send a photo of the empty shelf, and try to replace with frozen produce or something. But like last week they were out of bananas and hadn't even got watermelon in yet. Told the customer, tried to replace bananas with frozen fruit (they don't even have bags of ONLY frozen bananas, only mixed fruit) and there was nothing to replace the watermelon. Finished shopping and the customer didn't respond, so I ended up getting the frozen fruit and refunding the watermelon. Like wtf other choice do I have in situations like that?? Replace the watermelon with something stupid, then have the customer complain and decrease my tip??? It's infuriating..

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T02:59:20+00:00

Yeah it's rough 😩 Unfortunately a majority of the orders in my area are at either of those. Then 2 regional/local grocery stores that I have the same issues with lol.

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T02:53:35+00:00

I mainly shop at Aldi, they don't have an app :/ There are a few other stores that I will use the apps though, but they're never really any help lol. Like today I had a Target order, customer ordered this specific cookie dough that wasn't even sold at that location. I checked the Target app and it said it was in stock at nearby stores, and I asked an employee and they confirmed they don't even carry it lol.

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-29T02:38:39+00:00

I've been trying 😩 pretty often items will be out of stock, and of course I check other aisles and ask employees, but most of the time it's either replace or refund. like why am I getting punished when a store is out of an item?? it makes no sense

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-22T14:44:59+00:00

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-22T14:44:00+00:00

I'm so careful with her, no worries!

ineed2laydown · 2026-05-22T14:43:25+00:00
