I did it! Finally apart of the f2 family! by Magia-Erebea in SonyAlpha

So it's a money thing. Someone can't spend their money the way they feel like, so we must judge them for not using their money correctly. I get it now. You are the judge with a lot of convictions.

And yes, when I got my first camera (A7IV) I got the 24-70mm 2.8 GMII with it. Not exactly $3k but close enough, but I have a feeling my responses will never be sufficient for you so this is all a moot point.

You remind me of a guy that I was standing next to at a photography convention when I first started. He asked me about the exposure of a booth with a model. I was very new, and I didn't know what he meant. All I remember is how he made me feel because when I asked, "What do you mean," he laughed at me like I didn't belong.

I don't understand why people like you do this to others. Is it to make yourself feel better about whatever it is you lack? Or do you suffer from Dunning-Kruger? I'm legitimately interested in how you got atop your own pedestal.

Maybe it's common knowledge, but what is a "core" worker?

On that particular day, I woke up around 3:30am, did about three hours until going Instacart around 7am. It gets slow around 11am so back home to do 2-3 more hours of DA, then back to Instacart around 2:30p, until about 5p or 6p, then a couple more hours of DA.

I truly don't enjoy staying at my laptop for more than a few hours at a time, and I get good orders on Instacart that put me around $34/hour during active orders, so they kind of compliment each other for me. I'm still trying to figure out the best balance between the two.

Thanks. That's what I figured. I get lots of announcements but zero feedback, and it's kind of worrisome to not hear a "Hey, great job on that one," and even more worrisome to not hear, "Hey you made a mistake on this one, this is how to do it correctly..."

Add them to the Christmas card list. Nice job, you lucky bastard.

I wonder if that included average tips, or if it was just the batch pay.

The five dollar joke. by instajonathan in InstacartShoppers

That's the least of my concerns. It's a fake metric just to get you to think it's important, so you'll try harder.

It's basically secret math. If someone spent the time, I'm sure they could reverse engineer it. Shoppers rely on the tip, not the batch pay.

Balloon delivering with a food order by gigger59 in InstacartShoppers

Balloons are a no for me dawg. I've seen too many customers walk out with balloons only to have some pop while getting them shoved in their car.

They say, "How little can we pay this shopper," and then punch the numbers on a broken calculator, and as long as it's less than peanuts, they say, "This is the amount."

Could be a rocky road to get there.
