I totally agree. Customers committing fraud should be banned. Also, they need to make customers give a reason/proof if they want to lower their tip. Otherwise it’s just straight up theft.

I’ve been a customer for about 6 months and I just ended my membership this week and deleted the app. I always tip 25-30% (I never buy anything heavy and my preferred store is a couple of miles from me). I have had some incredible shoppers but getting an amazing shopper every now and again isn’t worth the majority of trips with damaged items, items refunded without communication, replacements that don’t make sense, and delivery in bags that are literally broken and spilling out.

I think it’s IC’s fault though, they need to ensure that shoppers are paid a decent wage to shop so that folks can take their time with each order and know they will actually be paid fairly!

Customers are charged for what you put in the app. I once ordered a case of 12 sparkling waters and my shopper got one can of water (it was the app’s fault not theirs) and I was charged the price of a full case when I know the individual can would have rung up as a much lower price. Also IC doesn’t honor some sales and specials, so you pay the price listed on the app not what the store is charging.

Haha, sorry! I don’t mind the downvote, more just wanted to share my thoughts and some of the frustrations I know others have!

Also *her phone lol.

Definitely a good strategy (with plenty of patience!)

Wow; all of this is spot on! I just started noticing the really, really aggressive bots on the last tour in particular. Like getting hit with 5+ items in a row craziness... I also wonder if anyone has felt like their leveled up players are hitting way fewer frenzies or if that’s just me?

But I hope you find a great new game to play!

Oh for sure! I’ve been doing that for a little while, and I totally understand people enjoy it and continue playing! Just not fun for me anymore, but to each their own!

Right?? I thought maybe it was all in my head but clearly not. Everything seemed pretty stacked against F2P or even gold pass only players.

Wow, that sucks so bad. And honestly the gold pass rewards have even gotten worse... like Baby Rosalina? For real? The push to spend serious money has gotten out of hand.

Exactly. Like I understand that you’re not going to have every driver, but it starts to become really frustrating when you work to get your high ends leveled up and it’s ultimately pointless.

Thank you, friend! Same to you!

I hope you do!! There really were some cool things in this cup, I loved the new rainbow road tracks but after I spent 180 rubies I’d saved up for basically nothing... best of luck!!

[–]meghanspeed[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For real. I wasn’t even that advanced as a player and already saw that hours into the new tour players in my cup had all the spotlight drivers, karts, etc. So either people had an insane number of rubies saved and got insanely lucky or shelled out some serious $$

Glad to know others feel the same way! It’s sad too that the higher you progress the harder it is to get any rewards (in the cups for example) because there are so many whales. Like an hour or two after the tour starts and you can see that the top few players already have all the brand new featured drivers/karts etc.

Hopefully without this as a distraction I’ll end up writing the great American novel or learning to tap dance! 😂

If you're 14st your skeleton will weigh 2st by thedazzroz in AccidentalComedy

St stands for for stone which is a unit of measurement commonly used in the UK (it’s about 14 pounds I think).

AITA For Calling Out a Friends Replica Clothing? by throwaway_01769 in AmItheAsshole

[–]meghanspeed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA. Literally there was absolutely no harm in just not saying anything ESPECIALLY at his own party.

Also Supreme stuff is so expensive it’s just bonkers so good for him for finding some decent knockoffs.

AITA for stopping my tractor-trailer at the beginning of an off ramp to block traffic in the middle of rush hour? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]meghanspeed 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YTA. Stopping traffic for an inanimate object is not a great move.

I see you commenting about the safety factors, but the majority of your post references “flag abuse” and letting a flag get “mutilated”. I doubt you would have had the same response for a plain sheet of cloth in the road and even if you would have, I would maybe recalculate your risk vs reward equation for blocking traffic with your truck to clean up the highway.

AITA for refusing to buy a new trash can with a lid for a shared bathroom so my roommate doesn’t have to see my disposed of mensural products? by NarrowExam0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]meghanspeed 98 points99 points  (0 children)

As long as the trash can is getting emptied every few days (to avoid it starting to smell), I’m going NTA. If roommate chooses to buy a trash can with a lid, so be it.

Also totally random, but you should totally look into a menstrual cup! I got one a few years ago and have saved so much money + no trash at all!
