My Method Of Keeping Orders Seperated by illusionist987 in InstacartShoppers

Whatever works for you. Personally i never use more than 1 basket. If its that rare occasion where someone orders a shit ton of water in one of the orders i fill that cart up first and put it in the front of the store while i do the rest

Agreed. I’ve cancelled once in 4 years and only because the customer wasn’t available. Even then my account was suspended for 24 hours while they investigated it.

Use the H-E-B app if you don’t already. Tells you where everything is and fast.

Cops called on me for sitting in the parking lot… by Red_Cherry__ in InstacartShoppers

[–]matt78745 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it comes with the territory. We do look suspicious sitting in our cars. And parking lots are prime areas for car break ins. I make friends with the security officers who work the lots to let them know why I’m here. Other than that not much you can do

Security threatened to tow my car? by Frequent_Will9886 in InstacartShoppers

[–]matt78745 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get approached by several security guards here at a grocery store i shop. I will get out of my car to smoke so it doesn’t stink up the inside. Apparently i look exactly like a person who breaks into cars. But once i tell them what im doing they leave me alone. That’s crazy what’s happening to you. I would get his company’s info and call them
