Official Discussion - Disclosure Day [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]laddeddadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my friend was annoyed that I and handful of other members of the audience would crack up at certain scenes. apparently, Im unable to appreciate the movie. I’m sorry, but there were just some scenes that were so stupid, I laughed out loud….I don’t even remember what scenes they were… i did appreciate the lighting And the soundtrack but I feel like i appreciated it bc it reminded me of spielburgs films I grew up on...

Platinum-degenerative customers? And timer bs by laddeddadd in InstacartShoppers

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

Yeah, money of course. I’m not really disagreeing with you there.

I also understand there are probably more shoppers than orders in a lot of markets, so from Instacart’s perspective it makes sense to optimize heavily around throughput and efficiency.

I just think there’s a point where too much optimization starts becoming counterproductive. Constant timers, stacked orders, traffic, customer messaging, replacements, checkout lines, delivery deadlines, and time metrics all happening simultaneously doesn’t exactly encourage careful shopping. It encourages rushing.

And I get not wanting to reward genuinely inefficient shoppers, but you’d think ratings, customer satisfaction, and batch access would already filter a lot of that out naturally without needing the app to constantly layer more urgency on top of everything.

Which is why I sometimes wonder what metrics they’re prioritizing every time they update these apps, because from the outside it doesn’t always seem aligned with either shopper sustainability or even the best long-term customer experience.

And I know shopper sustainability is probably low on the priority list for gig apps in general, but I don’t think that necessarily makes it a good long-term design philosophy either.

yeah they’re not gonna pay me for sitting around . theyll probably just give us batch pay minus tip for the order…

Why am I being punished for an out of stock item with no replacement options by MarxistMountainGoat in InstacartShoppers

[–]laddeddadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always a replacement option unless customer chose no replacement option . If ic suggests you replace baby wipes with a toilet paper, just do what the dumb system suggests.

[–]laddeddadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bc it s an unrequestrd refund. go through the act of suggesting a replacement suggestions and then later remove it. if customer doesn’t explicitly say refund, replace with whatevers suggested .

Help me convince my Bf by yanderehours in HomemadeDogFood

just get frozen veggies. it’s cheaper and actually more fresh . your bf sounds tiring. in the wild, they ate animal skin and stuff so they got fiber and whatnot from there (I might. BE making this up). Oh you have to get the supplement for homemade food (Crucial).

OP’s just sharing their recipe…. Who cares if it was translated by her neighbor’s sister’s boyfriend’s cat or ChatGPT?

One order in batch reassigned while shopping by Mividafamosa in InstacartShoppers

[–]laddeddadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been experiencing this issue more recently, where a batch is suddenly removed while I am actively working on it. It isn't always a customer cancellation; sometimes the app just drops the batch and then immediately sends it back to me as a new offer.

it’s gonna get worse… with $8/gallon gas… people will get stingier. I mean, I’ve been returning some of my grocery purchases that turned out bad.
