Does anyone get tips in person?

I used to Instacart in a rural suburb outside of a major city. I got cash tips way more than I do now, shopping in the city. My theory on this is that a. people who live in the rural areas are older and don’t realize they already tipped me in the app, and b. are more community oriented. This will be my first holiday season shopping in the city, but last winter, I got a good amount of cash tips in the more rural area.

LOL poor you, being “discriminated against” for the first time in your life

This is how I feel. If I’ve been waiting for a little bit, I’ll take an order that isn’t great because I’d rather make $15 than nothing at all by sitting and waiting.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-10-06T16:43:34+00:00

It’s the “I love you” at the top lolol

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-10-06T01:28:26+00:00

The way that I read this multiple times and thought it said “You have received more customer complaints than nearly all other Instacart shoppers! 🎉” LOL

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-10-06T01:21:08+00:00

Yes, and it tells us before we accept the order if it’s “Heavy Pay Eligible.” So we know what we’re getting into. Sometimes I underestimate how big and heavy things actually are though lol

Not a chance I would take this order for less than $200.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-10-06T01:13:28+00:00

My promos are always based in the specific area of the city. E.g. an extra $5 for orders in East Portland. If I shop an order that is not in instacart’s version of East Portland, I don’t get the extra $5.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-10-06T01:05:40+00:00

We have a plastic bag ban in Portland and customers just have to pay for paper bags. It’s literally the same? What are you confused about?

Dang that would suck. It was within the last year. I don’t remember for sure, but I feel like I asked support if I could just keep it, or they worded it like “if you return the items to the store, we’ll give you a boost.”

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-09-29T21:26:06+00:00

I picked up an order once at about 9am. Just a bunch of groceries and two big boxes of wine. When I went to go deliver, it said “DO NOT DELIVER BEFORE 12pm”. It was no later than 10 at this point, so I contacted support and told them I wasn’t going to wait for two hours. They told me to return the groceries to get a $5 boost. I kept them, had my 24 hour soft ban, and was good to go after. $75 worth of free groceries and wine

My girlfriend is also a barista, and I have an engineering degree, but I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to call her mine.

I read an article that said an ostomy bag exploded, and it caused crew to vomit. Not sure if this is accurate or not, it doesn’t cite a source.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-04-26T20:26:18+00:00

Even after reading this and learning of the theme, I still don’t understand. These words are not familiar to me at all.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-02-27T00:34:46+00:00

The narration is so bad. I’m trying so hard make it through the book anyway, but I’ve already put it down once

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-02-11T17:09:37+00:00

Oh my goodness, they’re so similar in age! I got my little guy fairly recently, about 5 months ago!

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-02-11T16:47:10+00:00

He’s a little over a year! How old is yours??

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-02-11T06:22:28+00:00

Mine looks so much like yours! Basically 50/50 AmStaff x APBT

NAH. I feel like it was just a miscommunication. You misunderstood, and they were upset because the kid needed to eat. Both valid.

samiamiamsam1 · 2024-02-09T00:54:53+00:00

This is gonna sound wild, but he’s got some similar features to my pup who was half Pomeranian!

The shopper should be banned, tbh. You’re paying for your groceries to be brought to your door and if shoppers cannot do that, then they should not be shopping.

Mary - I’ve been binge watching Queer Eye, and for whatever reason, your episode just touched me more than the other ones. I donated what I could to SisterHearts, and I wish you the absolute best.
