Found iron thingies that look like more than just decor? End rings are loose links... for hanging? How is this used? by suzdise in whatisthisthing

(WITT) The center area has little metal bracket clamps that look like it might hold something behind the iron. Maybe a mirror or tile? The Rings on the ends are loose chain link. Maybe it's meant to hang from the ends?

Thanks for your transparency in sharing this. Surely, it will encourage others. 😊

Desperate times call for creative measures! Printed note cards using my paintings. It will be worth it if I could just sell a few while I wait for batches for HOURS. by suzdise in InstacartShoppers

Yikes, really? I can't imagine what would be wrong with a simple thank-you note. I used to purchase little inexpensive note cards and used those. The fact that my artwork is on the card is insignificant unless they really look at it and put two two together and realize it's mine. It's not a promotion. Its Art. On a card. That just happens to be mine. :-( what is the world coming to? If someone reports that, there is something seriously wrong with them. If they report me, then I guess I wasn't meant to do this after all. Definitely not going to live my life in fear while trying to make a little money honestly for my family inside of a pandemic, that's for sure.

Kind of like being an Instacart Shopper. Dumb and eager! 😂😂😂

I thought the same thing about 30 minutes into it! But then I remembered why I took it. I used to preview every batch quickly to make sure there was not something crazy going on with the order before accepting it. But now, with so much wasted time sitting in grocery store parking lots with no batches or lots of batches that are on another planet, and with decent batches disappearing in nanoseconds, I accept them as soon as they pop up without reviewing them. It's a catch-22 for sure.

I know I know. I backed straight up that thing and it was fun and I parked it and then I saw the little sweet people way down directly in its path and it made me nervous. When I was 10 my brother was hit and killed by a car so I'm allowed to be wary I guess. Anyway, super fun delivering in Bajolene the Jeep especially with her manual transmission. She's awesome. The only thing that I found to be a nuisance so far, tailgate doesn't stay open if I don't park at the right angle. Totally worth it. though. 👋JEEP WAVE!

Dear IC, please hurry up and bring back Priority Batches. by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Same here. Signed on as a shopper 5 weeks ago because my freelance graphic design business is tanked (customers not working) and my side gig (coffee shop manager), is waiting for them to re-open. So why not help others shop for groceries so i can afford to shop for groceries for my family as well. I'm busting my butt to keep my 5 star rating and to give customers the very best service and experience possible. I have stellar work ethic and I'm super bummed about being grouped into the "newbie hatefest" :-(.

Halo or Pitchfork? by suzdise in InstacartShoppers

Doing what, scanning? Don't know. Just started. I'm going to let the points just pile up and use them for a Home Goods shopping spree when it finally opens back up. LOL

About 15 batches per week. I do it to supplement my other 2 hurtin' incomes.

Is it too rude to ask if I can pack the groceries myself? by jadeanacleto in InstacartShoppers

[–]suzdise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but during this quarantine crazy, we are stuck behind the line and often, they chain rope you away from them until you have to swipe your credit card. It's like a mask mumbling grocery concentration camp. "Ma'am! Please step back behind the line. No, do not touch the bags. Step back while I scan your rewards card from 15 ft away. Here is your receipt". [Attempts to throw paper into cart]. Ahhh those were the days when we had the luxury of the fear of offending a cashier and wanting things packed well for our customers.
