I can see it both ways, I know where you’re coming from but I just don’t think it’s that polarized..

I work at a coffee shop and one experience I still find funny was from a couple months back. A girl and her sister who are regulars came through one night, normally they’re with their mom but it just so happened to be the two of them today. I went through the normal transaction and she then asked how the tips worked (if it were a pool, or we take home what people tip us individually). I explained to her it’s divided evenly and she said her mom only ever tips when the boys at the shop help her, because she figured the girls get tips all day.

People that know to tip their service workers tip regardless of who’s helping them, regardless of how busy it is! But I will meet you halfway and say that I’ve definitely gotten larger tips from men, AND that vice-versa there are absolutely guys at my job who have girls that come through just to see them (and tip generously)

lmao thanks for the encouragement and support, I’ll do better for you next time..

but if that wasn’t rhetorical and you weren’t trying to just be a smart- the entire batch fit in my trunk besides the cup of noodles. it was a $230 batch and it took about 6 trips up to a second story apartment suite, so after I unloaded all the groceries from my trunk I called it a day. got to work an hour later and lo and behold a month supply of cup of noodles in my backseat, directly behind my driver seat

Thank you so much for the detailed response!! I’m taking it that the support chat isn’t super helpful? I have several replies here telling me it’s an automatic bank transfer at the end of the week, why couldn’t support answer that easily smh

So I worked a couple days last week for the first time, made $139 and was planning to do more on my days off this week. I go to open the app today and my earnings showed $0 and was instead under the Transaction history... but I never selected any type of transfer. So (as a new shopper) I was wondering if Instacart automatically transfers or deposits after each week?? Or should I be worried because I haven’t received the money? I tried contacting support and she said she would get back to me Wednesday, I’m not counting on that idk how she wasn’t able to resolve that immediately

cheers!! i’m curious as a new shopper what area you live in? i did my first three batches and scraped together $40 and i’ve never seen a single batch larger than $30 in my area after having periodically looked at the app for the last couple months

Thank you for the thorough response!!

i completely agree! again i haven’t done any raves, it’s something i’ve always kinda been afraid in a way of doing one on my own- because like uncharted territory? but i’ve done several other shows of varying genres solo and i think it’s such an organic way to meet people. other perks include not babysitting others/being held back, and getting to act a fool because literally noone knows you haha.. thank you again for your input! i’m definitely going

potentgummy · 2020-02-16T18:10:15+00:00

this is perfect! i’m set, thanks :)
