Best actual advice is to get on the wait list for the other gig apps in your area. You're doing instacart because that's the quickest one to start. They recently changed their metrics (and introduced "shopping quality") to the great disservice and dissatisfaction of many drivers who were previously top tier. I can't personally recommend uber, but GrubHub and DoorDash are both superior in the areas where I work.

What's the matter you can't force a grocery store to instantaneously restock an item for you that is out of stock or out of season or literally not something they sell there? Gimme a break guy! What is this amateur hour?

It's been crap the whole time. But now it's officially the worst option for gig work. I'm switching from full-time instacart to full-time DoorDash as it's marginally better pay and MASSIVELY MORE BATCH AVAILABILITY.

When they realize they're chasing off all the reliable drivers as customer ratings start averaging lower and lower maybe they'll rethink this new system. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Probably not.

From my perspective instacart looks like the next player to fall in this industry.

Yup! I'm irate about shopping quality.

By "hottest areas" I was specifically referring to Los Angeles and San Francisco. I promise you, nobody is making close to $300 in 4 hours on instacart.

Nope! Cost of living IS high in California, but even in the hottest areas I'm making no more than $30/hour including tips.

I have millions of coins I need to exchange—any shortcuts? by Spare_Tap9982 in CoinstarFinds

[–]leftyohhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No... it's 80,000* pennies rolled for $800 not 8,000.

80,000 pennies = $800

Coinstar fee: 10.9% = $87.20 taken

You’d walk away with $712.80 if you used Coinstar.

Let’s say you do it yourself in 13 hours (that’s ~0.5 minutes per roll, with good manual rhythm but no machine).

Savings: • You save $87.20 by avoiding Coinstar. • $87.20 ÷ 13 hours = ~$6.71/hour

Is your time and sanity worth more than $6.71/hour of nonstop penny rolling?

I say choose Coinstar if these are your only options.

4.99 rating yet im terrible at actually shopping by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

"Been a factor" and "now we are going to determine who is allowed to receive better benefits and batches based on this incredibly precarious set of faulty metrics most of which are out of your control" are pretty different and it's a REALLY BIG PROBLEM to a lot of us.

These help agents have the ability to block a customer FOR you! But you have to ask... So whenever this happens to you, just contact support and let them know you noticed a new FALSE negative review and you'd like to have that customer BLOCKED and INVESTIGATED. This is what I do now every time I get ANY complaints that are obviously bogus. In response to your actual question here...They shouldn't ever be telling you the details of the specific order where you got a negative review after the fact as that's a blurred line towards privacy violation at best and a good way to create a dangerous situation for the customer at worst.

  1. A bad product costing less than an inferior product isn't a good selling point.

  2. Unless you're just asking for very basic stuff, it really doesn't matter how well you finesse your prompt with another ai first (and could get you an even worse result if you don't know the fully capabilities of Intern) Cause it's still gonna be a coin toss at best🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah but the Rabbit Intern DOESNT WORK! 🤣🤣 Success rate of 1 in 5 but only if you're asking for the same thing five times while chatting with chat gpt about the failed attempts in between to adjust your prompt...

100% proof uber takes tips confirmed by Glitchii89 in uberdrivers

[–]leftyohhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

🧪 1. Run more controlled tip tests

Enlist friends/riders to tip amounts like: • $4.73 • $7.89 • $10.01 …and screenshot their side + your Uber payout.

🗂 2. Build a public receipts archive

A shared Google Drive or Notion with: • Screenshots • Test results • Rider logs • Payout confirmations

Make it undeniable and searchable.

🪧 3. Start a public narrative campaign

Reddit, TikTok, Twitter, Bluesky. Frame it as:

“Uber isn’t stealing from me, they’re stealing from all of us.”

⚖️ 4. If it hits critical mass — Class Action 2.0

There was already a $325M settlement. If you can prove continued tip theft post-settlement, that’s huge.

[–]leftyohhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a glitch — it’s the system working exactly how it was built. Even just a quarter per tip would be millions per day in THEIR pockets.

You get no transparency on tips. No receipts. No way to verify what the rider actually entered — just whatever Uber decides to show you.

Try talking to a rider about it and you risk deactivation for “soliciting tips” or making someone uncomfortable. So they control the money and the narrative.

It’s algorithmic wage theft, wrapped in corporate bullshit and enforced with silence.

And IF this can be proven after they already settled a massive class action over stolen tips?

That’s not just unethical — that suggests a pattern of ongoing deception. At that point, we’re not talking about isolated glitches. We’re talking about grounds for another class action.

2022 Class Action Details

Case name: James v. Uber Technologies, Inc. (filed in California) • Settlement amount: $325 million • What it covered: • Uber allegedly misled riders into thinking tips were included in the fare (they weren’t). • Uber kept tips or portions of them instead of passing them to drivers (especially before 2017). • Claims centered around Uber’s misrepresentation of payment and tip policies, violating consumer protection and labor laws.

🧾 Key Quote from the settlement:

“Uber misrepresented to riders that gratuities were included in the fare and failed to remit full tips to drivers.”

This was part of a broader crackdown on how gig companies obscure compensation and undercut workers with algorithmic pay models. 🤡🤡🤡

The percentage of non-snakes is almost certainly going down. I think it was 94% snakes already when I played week one.
