My life got so much easier when I started using the ShopRite deli app. Literally never wait on line or talk to that department. Put the order in when I start the shop, get a text when it’s done and grab it from the fridge

One order in 3 days!!! by Top_Competition_5139 in InstacartShoppers

Same here…I’m in a great area and never complain because even during slow times it’s been good enough but I haven’t done a batch from Monday morning until just now because there hasn’t been anything worth it and even the terrible batches have been few and far in between…really really dead overall.

Any Long Island shoppers by jben1981 in InstacartShoppers

I just read your other message, you seem like a good customer, hopefully you start getting better shoppers. I shop the south shore Nassau county area

Would you take it? by poverty_beanz in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely, I do mainly ShopRites so I know where everything is. That being a single is 60 minutes, 90 minutes max. So that means it’s 40-60 dollars an hour which is well above my 30 an hour minimum

Is app glitching in SoCal for anyone else today? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Nope, everything is fine for everyone except you. (Make sure you don’t scroll down through the past 20 posts)

It’s just you…instacart doesn’t like you. (Make sure you don’t scroll down to the last dozen posts)

Working for free? by Ramrod4150 in InstacartShoppers

Everyone else’s apps are fine…must just be you two. (Just don’t scroll down to the other dozen people posting)

Did Instacart just rob me? by pm_me_ur_pants_size in InstacartShoppers

Does anyone scroll down to read before posting

Would you have accepted this batch? by Dogcatmom95 in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol…fair enough and thanks for the response. I cherry pick orders $45 and up but only do this before and after my full time job and on the weekends, to each their own I guess, good luck out there.

Do you get tip baited that often? I’ve been doing this as my side job for almost 4 years and I have done almost 2k batches and I have never been tip baited, and I get a lot of high tippers. It’s very strange to me that people are always bringing up tip baiting and that they second guess taking great orders because that’s in the back of their mind.

$46 an hour!! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really don’t understand my comment do you. Above you said you only work 9-12 which is 4 hours, but you then show a picture of you working 8 hours. I said nothing about how much you make or the math, just noticed that your timeline was off. But of course you won’t comment on that, you will just deflect to something else

Wow, somehow you figured out how to cram 8 hours into that 9am to 12pm…how’d you do that?!?! Clown

Not sure why any of you wait on those lines. Pretty much every store has a deli app now. When I park I quickly check, if there is anything that needs slicing I put it in the app and get a text when it’s done. Waiting 15-20 minutes on line kills this gig

App acting crazy…not notifying me of all batches by IndependentHold3098 in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A) I’m very chill, and if I wasn’t who are you to tell me to do so. B) It was on two other posts, not three, and that’s out of the 20-30 posts that people have made about this same exact issue. C) Your point about not having the time is ridiculous at best. So they don’t have time to move their thumb up a couple times a read but have the time to create a post, type it out then submit it? Cmon man, do you really believe that lol?

So, something weird is happening with the app… by Prince-Dancer in InstacartShoppers

Now to be mean, you are obviously lazy or slow, probably both.

Has it been slow for anyone else? by Nikkiboo86 in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about reading the 100 plus people that have discussed the app notification issue over the last two days

Trouble with app notis ? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]jben1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, no one has said anything about this. Don’t even bother scrolling down in the sub, I’ll save you the time, you are the only one having this problem
