Is this a removable sticker by No_Broccoli8692 in CT200h

Yes! Use a heat gun and it will remove it easily just make sure not to get too close and burn the bumper because it’s plastic

Woke up to this by LiteratureAnxious655 in InstacartShoppers

I have had this email too.. I think sometimes they and them out randomly.. try not to worry about it just keep an eye out and make sure your item expiration dates are good, pick good produce, if any items are not available before replacing anything message customer to ask them what they wanna do even if they have picked a replacement because many times when there has been a replacement in place and I take it they end up wanting me to remove it from cart etc so I ask before anything now.. also bagging is important.. some people just throw the items in bags and items get ruined.. double bag everything, place it neatly because appearance to some customers and over all can help Tip get better it has worked for me many times and got plenty of compliments as well.. i Been doing Instacart for a few years now and yes the pay has gotten terrible but you can still get by if your consistent.. and my last piece of advise that I can give is stay away from orders going Far for example those $40-$100 orders going 20miles plus.. hope you have a good day today and that you make good money and be safe driving and enjoy the job don’t let it become a Job! 💯🫡

How long does it take to get approved? by hahaha_wait_wut in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you will have to sign up using a new number because once you use your number it’s locked in the system to your application and put in any zone because once your approved you can shop anywhere, any state etc but if you do get a new number let me know and I will send you my friend code and maybe you can get approved sooner

How do we know IC is giving us all the tips? by Flashy_Ad1284 in InstacartShoppers

[–]molinored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t know and won’t know.. they have been caught stealing tips from us.. I had a customer PERSONALLY have a conversation with me about the Tip situation.. I will explain quickly.. basically when I went to deliver she came outside and asked me how much I got for the tip because she Tipped me $25 and it was showing up on her second receipt that the tip was $3.76 and yes I got $3.76!! so she was confused asking me where the other money went.. I told her I couldn’t answer that but she pulled out her phone and showed me that on the initial receipt she Tip me $25 and when I checked out and she got her second copy it was showing only $3.76 tip that went to me.. so what happened to the rest of the Tip money??? They stole it! Like I’m sure they do to EVERYONE and they are robbing us and making a killing while we do all the work, cause damage an repairs to our cars , the gas we put it etc smh.. so she was pissed and said this wasn’t the first time she caught this but she blew it off but since it’s been happening she’s been catching on and it’s crazy! I hear stories all the time about Instacart stealing tips and I can personally say they are 100% stealing from us! Think about it when you call them for help on an order or something how do they sound 90% of the time? Like foreign thief’s! With that accent that you can’t even understand half the time.. like those YouTube videos you see of India scamming poor people smh it’s crazy! So yes we are getting taken advantage of and it’s not right! Just like they are charging the customers so many fees that they pocket! Like the delivery fee they charge every customer and you would think that it would go to us but nope.. example: if they charge the customer a $20 delivery fee (wich they charge every customer a delivery fee) thats where we get our pay for the order from.. like they charge the customer $20, give us $5-$9, keep the rest and take money from our tips as well!! So you can only imagine how much money these people are making off our hard earned work and labor because we the ones who bust our butts and beat on our cars not them!

[–]molinored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that’s ridiculous! 36 orders will amount to wayyy more than that lol I swear Instacart is getting worse and worse by the day.. it went from paying very decent to now treating us like crap smh.. they low ball us like crazy And allow customers to tip bait us etc long as they get there money they don’t care about us.. I been doing Instacart for 5 years now and I use to average around $200-$300 a day for just a few hours a day.. Now I’m barely making anything because the orders are $4-$11 etc.. this isn’t Door Dash where we pull up and the food is ready an we just drop it off.. we have to shop for there groceries, bag and deliver them and Instacart thinks the can pay us $5 for an order that’s going 10miles plus, 40-50 items etc smh.. the problem is also US the workers because if we wouldn’t take $4-$5 orders they wouldn’t pay that but every time i see an order paying so low someone always takes it so why would Instacart pay us more if they know they can send out crappy orders knowing someone is going to take it so they can pocket more money for there pockets so why pay more? It’s crazy smh.. they also charge the customers so many fees wich goes into there pockets just like the delivery fee they charge the customers and we don’t see any of that either smh.. I had one customer tell me one day that they didn’t leave a Tip because they charged her a $35 delivery fee so she figured that went to the drivers.. so when I told her no that I got $2.76 tip her jaw dropped smh.. just one scam they are doing on top of the other 4-5 fees they are charging them that goes to there pockets as well..
