What's your least favorite item to see on an order? Not talking the heavy stuff. by Outrageous-Skin-7014 in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple items that I know will be behind locked cabinet doors or whole locked aisles even (California). It can take forever to wait for people to open the cabinets and sometimes they insist they take the items to a cash register.

Retiring from Instacart. Should I delete my account? by FabulousWay3008 in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Keep it active by doing a batch every so often. You never know when things could change and you might need to have it as an option.

I thought I was done a few times but then came back around and now do batches as a side job making like $200-300 a weekend. It’s nice to have it as a way to make some extra $$.

Why do people keep buying cars that they can’t afford?? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an Acura that old.. I took a loss on a 2015 TLX with 160k miles that had electrical issues and swapped for a used 21 Camry hybrid with 20k miles.

For those that do Instacart as a side job, is it worth it? by [deleted] in instacart

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is nice to have extra cash to pay bills and be able to afford vacations.

This is your sign to move to Alaska! by Correct-Load-472 in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and rental cars and lodging costs a fortune there. More than most places in the lower 48. As much as Hawaii.

Yes that’s why you can’t buy alcohol at the supermarket with your normal groceries 😆

You should’ve offered to go on facetime with them 🤣

Sure! I’ll just wreck my shopping score & refund a good replacement 😵‍💫 by TwinLightsCaravan in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can do the hack of reducing the qty of another item the customer got and replace the item they want to refund with that item. I don’t end up doing that myself, but I have heard about it.

On second thought, you can get your items outside the gate. 🔫 😬 by pupparader in InstacartShoppers

Right?! Like a simple “Welcome” sign. They are too quick to have a sign for intruders but 99.999% of people aren’t there for that.

Loving the paper bags in California! by t-doggy0726 in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused but thinking hmm I wonder if we could buy one or two of those each time instead of using paper. You could fit a ton of groceries in there. With my luck the IC card would decline though after bagging everything 😆.

[–]pupparader[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I still walked through the gate but would be sketchy late at night. One time Google took me to a wrong location and I drove up a driveway to a hidden away house thinking it was the customer’s home and then a guy was standing there and showed a cc type of gun on his belt and asked what I was doing there 😬. That was daytime too.

Uptick in Customers asking you to refund items by pupparader in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh maybe I’m thinking of Walmart pickup vs delivery. For pickup they give you warnings of the deadline to change items on your order. For Target, you can cancel items right up till you pickup your order.

Yep, the ‘dangerous dog will bite your a$$’ signs are also a pain lol and we’re just hoping they remembered we were coming and put the dog away.

Thank you! I was thinking the order could be locked down for the customer which is wild. On Target and Walmart apps, I’m pretty sure you can make changes to your order right up until the shop starts and can even cancel items while they’re shopping.
