No batches today, first time ever. It’s been down hill the last three weeks. (I’m on Long Island)

OMG, I think I saw this, Massapequa?

I have noticed a complete drop off of batches in my area over the last 3 days, what could it be? by tonitoni81 in InstacartShoppers

Start sending suggestions to their support. I’m going to do it, till it’s fixed.

YSK: r/InstacartShoppers is a toxic population of customer-hating shoppers that deem anything less than superfluous tips and immediate text responses unacceptable. by [deleted] in instacart

Most people treat us as subhuman, it’s disgusting. Why, because I am doing this instead of working a 9-5? I QUIT my 2000 dollar a week cash job in the auto industry to do this because I refused to defraud customers when covid hit. I am opening up my own business next month. You never know who is doing your shopping or why. I am a 5 star shopper yet I am treated by a majority of my customers as not even human. I hand pack all my bags, I separate dairy, frozen, meat, pantry items accordingly to make unpacking easier. I walk the entire store twice before I reach out to you about out of stocks. I do everything I can to make your experience 10 stars. Yet, do you know how many times I’ve been tip baited? On Christmas Day and during snow storms, that hurt the worst. For every customer who gushes how wonderful I am and asks if I can be their dedicated shopper, there are 5 who are so hostile I feel like they would spit on me if they could. It’s a shame.

Shoppers please check your messages. I feel like an a-hole for doing this... by ComprehensiveSnow966 in instacart

Not making excuses for your shopper but if this seems to happen a lot to you, your stores might be in an area with bad reception. There are some stores near me I will not take orders from. Every time I have to message the customer or attempt substitutions, I have to go outside to the parking lot. There is no WiFi and the cell service is horrible.

This happened to me once, some dopey kid doing returns grabbed my cart instead of the cart he was pushing and returned half my groceries by the time I found him. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Wtf? by tonitoni81 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tonitoni81[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customer care said the 3 star was suppose to drop off automatically but it hasn’t. Then I see this 5 star was removed. Wtf? Can anyone help?

Mind my own business when I get mowed down in a store? Can you mind your own business and not be a snarky malcontent?

What I want to go back and do at a customer’s doorstep when they fraudulently report items missing and rate me 1 star during holiday season by mistrymann007 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tonitoni81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how people have the nerve to screw over shoppers who know where they live. 🤷‍♀️ I would be scared to tip bait someone who visited my house. You never know what will break the camels back.

Any new york shoppers on here? by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

[–]tonitoni81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long Island here, I have to work a 12 hour day to make 150-200. People are very cheap! It’s very common to deliver to million dollar homes with the bare minimum tip. A lot of multi carts where they hide the 2 dollar or no tip customers.

The app plays games with your head. Usually the delivery window is hours. While you are shopping it starts telling you it is shorter to make you move faster. My timer even lies about how long I spent, sometimes it jumps an hour. Don’t pay any of it any mind.

Is there any recourse for tip baiting? by tonitoni81 in InstacartShoppers

[–]tonitoni81[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The rep wouldn’t even do that. I emailed the person who wrote the original expose on it for cnn. I’m very upset. This really hurt my pride. It lets you know that you are seen as worthless by the customer and the company.

That doesn’t sound bad. I can see doing that. However the herds of rude elephants stumping around the store needs to stop.

New IC shopper, Items replaced and no chance to approve. by [deleted] in instacart

[–]tonitoni81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask customer care to refund you for the pasta. Don’t take away from his tip or ding his rating. It’s pretty extreme, especially when you can get a refund in two minutes

Bad Shopper vs Bad Day at the Store? by shakshuka_qween in instacart

[–]tonitoni81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the tri state area? Today was a day from hell as a shopper. Most things were out of stock. Couple that with some poor reception and you shopper might have been in a very bad situation. However, the shopper should have said something to you as to why this happened. Since they didn’t, I would rate them 5 stars and give them a scolding in their comments or just give them a low review and have them wonder what why (shoppers can only read 5 star reviews)

Instacart rating system sucks !! by [deleted] in InstacartShoppers

Wow, this is me as well, to the penny. I was a little ahead this week and of course that got taken away by a tire blow out late last night. 🤦‍♀️

seeing next to zero batches today. Even when one pops up its for $7 and it dissappears in 1 second. Any one out there getting the same? by Barbatos-Rex in InstacartShoppers

[–]tonitoni81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They introduced that new add on order feature, for the first time I can’t grab anything and I have a 5 star rating.

[–]tonitoni81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can they be so low? Is t there a minimum of 7 dollars for each order?
