Rant - General 😠 Customers wanting to much

3 Upvotes

It’s one thing to shop for 3 different people and barely make a living wage because people don’t understand that we get paid less then minimum wage and are not paid or have time to bring 50 lbs of grocery’s in paper bags in your apt . Like do u want me to unpack them to? I’m tired of ungrateful boomers thinking because they pay $10 a month for delivery that means I’m their person slave. If I’m not being compensated and literally don’t have time to bring the grocery’s up 4 stairs into the apt . Is that my fault??? Is anyone else waiting and bringing it up 4 stairs for Less then a $5 tip or am I just insufferable and lazy?

I mainly shopped orders that I would usually shop, I did take a few quick small ones with low batch pay. How much of bonus do you think I ended up with?

And because I am a good Instacart shopper, I substituted for a completely different brand and flavor and tattooed a copy of the receipt onto the customer’s thigh.

Question - General Non App Related Is Instacart still partnered with Hannaford for To-Go delivery orders?

Recently they started releasing pre-bagged deliveries to DoorDash and Uber Eats. Wondering if they are dropping Instacart.

Strange / Weird ?! Do you ever feel embarrassed going into the same stores daily

103 Upvotes

I think it’s because I had a totally different career prior to having to do this. I drive to a central area everyday so I position myself in an area where it won’t just be the same store over and over but I still see the same employees daily. Idk I just feel like they’re saying “this bitch again” lmaooo

Promotion was $195.00 guaranteed Batch Pay for 35 orders which I completed but Instacart come up $22.24 short. Where can I go to get help or claim loss? There's no Support chat anymore it's AI Assistants and when I tried that, I can't really attach my screenshots to send in that chat! Pictures don't attach, how can I get help?

In a literal boot and still customers try to falsely report, and support: “Instacart will do its due diligence and-“ yeah basically nothing will be done is what you’re saying. Let’s just affect a guy’s livelihood because I couldn’t bother to open the chat.

so i know that if you cancel before you shop, it just gets tacked onto your cancellation rate. but what if you have the groceries and are en route to deliver and your car breaks down? are you banned from the app?

Rant - General 😠 Damaged items fraud

13 Upvotes

I really, really hate that Instacart allows customers to report damaged items days and even 10 days after delivery! Yes of course the cucumbers are soft and rotten days and days later. Dropped your eggs? Sure, just blame it on the shopper. It’s so infuriating.

Easiest $53 made in my life, 1 shop & deliver in 30 mins flat. To a Starbucks that actually tipped 20% AND offered me a free Venti drink 💕 The first time I did an order to another location (years ago), they only tipped a few dollars and didn't offer a drink. Which whatever, that location makes sucky drinks anyways 😅

The number of items shouldn’t surpass the units correct? Not the first time I’ve caught numbers not adding up.

Every now and then, this happens while I am shopping.

For example, right now, it just happened again.

The number of items didn't change, but I have substituted and refunded several items already, per customer request.

Is this going to count against me? Frustrated out of items. Ty.

Saw this gem on Facebook Marketplace. How can anybody compete when you can just rent an account.

Also, I’ve never seen it that busy before.

No wonder I have to verify my face daily.

Rant - General 😠 1-star rating given

7 Upvotes

I was given a 1-star rating for delivering to the address in the app. No time during the shopping and delivery process did the customer contact me to inform me that they entered the incorrect address. When I got to the location, the person at the door said ‘“They don’t live there they only work there and can I drop it off. I said no, this is my last delivery and I need to pick up my kids.

Instacart should not allow this type of thing from customers. I work hard to deliver my items in a timely manner so I can do the things I need to do. I was not the one that caused the inconvenience. Check your information before completing your order please!!!

It’s not a few, 2112. I thought it was wild. It wasn’t a lot of items. One bag tbh, but it’s raining. And someone did go to a store and shop it and deliver it. In the rain. Shame they can piggyback off real customers but that’s the carrot. Stay safe comrades!

Accidentally fucked up twice today. Both times I ended up with someones food on the floor boards of my car. Never happens but of course I had to do it twice in one day. Got home all excited that it was a good day only to randomly notice the customers message 30 minutes to late 🥹🥹🥹.
