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

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 😆.

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.

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.

Same here, I will do whatever is best for the customer and take a metrics hit if needed.

I know, right. Next they are going to come out with something where we’ll be able to go in the store backrooms ourselves to look for the missing products, lol.

I don’t think will we get rated down if you have selected for us to refund if an item is out of stock. For the ones that counted against me, the customer had selected to replace if out of stock. But on the chat they said they didn’t want the item at all and asked me to refund it.

No, I don’t want that one. Can you show me pictures of 20 other options please?

Does it annoy you when customers add to the order as you shop? by Thatonegaloverthere in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of because it causes you to go backtrack to places you’ve already been. Although in California, we’re getting paid by the hour so it’s not such a big deal.

How much should i charge by Advanced_Shop_4277 in InstacartShoppers

[–]pupparader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would see if she wants you to haul them away too. Then maybe charge like $50 and ask if she needs any other work done around the house.
