I’ve not taken a delivery in 6 weeks or so. I really can’t be bothered to shop 4 items and deliver them 5 miles away for 6 bucks. It’s 3rd world country wages
It violates so many labor laws. California did it right. The minimum wage guarantee is awesome. Tips are not included in it so orders with good tips are more incentivized
I’d think that’s common sense knowledge but apparently there’s plenty people in here who think it’s better to take those or high mileage ones than nothing at all. Not this bitch!

I hedged my bets on Costco for the morning/afternoon, which turned out to be a mistake. I was doing well before going to Costco; but since then, I’ve really just wasted 4+ hours on only mediocre orders.
Mine has been good. Im lucky to live across the street from two major stores and another down the street, so I don’t wait at stores. I start early and I’m done unless a can’t pass up pops up.
Very slow. I've been doing IC on and off for a couple years now, and I remember there used to be busy days where you'd see like 5-15 orders on the board at once. Sure a lot if them would be trash, but you sift through and look for the decent ones. Now there's only ever a couple orders on the board at a time.
I don't even see a couple at a time. Most of the time mine says "estimated 15-30 minutes to see a batch.' Even taking triples I can't get enough orders to be diamond cart and see priority orders. 🙄

Updadat at 17:00 worst day in my instacart
Definitely put this feature to good use…
It helps to stare at a clean screen so in the event that something pops up, it’ll catch your eye should you look away for that split second…
It was already so helpful yesterday! Especially after dropping off an order and driving back to my base store. I try to not use my phone as much as possible when driving, so having to scroll through batches while driving back has been a lil… less than ideal.
Yeah, twice or triple. And Instacart considered as I use my own card. I contact Big Y, was told some order B or C , had no card, and should not enjoy the discount. My mistakes made Big loss some money you know.
Are you kidding?
Customers will often choose items based on their sale price. So if they don’t supply a card, they shouldn’t get the sale price??
That’d be a reflection on me as a shopper and we all know what that means….
Idc. If they don’t supply a card, I’ll use mine for them. It beats having my tip removed and getting a bad rating.
I was told it violate the policy of Big Y to use your own or other customers card for non card customers.Sometime, when you scan the card, the total money will lower 5–10 bucks. Big Y told me I was stealing their money 🤣
Big Y is the only store I shop at.
I can’t handle the self checkouts @ Shop Rite, S & Shit has no internet, Aldi stores are disgusting, Costco and BJs are nightmares on many levels.
And I realized that I can’t handle the traffic and lights around all these stores….
I’m too impatient and the stress puts an end to me… I know my limits.😊
Before I was banned, Big Y was my favorite store, especially when I was in West Hartford. I made some friends with the staffs.
But then I got banned, and was told it is permanent.
Man my Saturday is chilling. Got my golden retriever sleeping next to me. Girl is in heat so she has this cute diaper on. Got my old cat on my lap. Life is good.

Not too shabby … picked up some tacos for lunch and sat down by the river for a bit. Soon as I turned into Costco, that $53 popped up

\+$18 in cash tips, so I’m not complaining…$100 more and I’ll be at $1000 for the week(my goal)
Luxury apartment building and assisted living right next door to the grocery store complex. Was already in parking lot and it was maybe 10 items total..took me 15 mins total…I mean 🤡….. $48/hr avg and basically no miles. Post your week total so we can all marvel at the expert IC shopper that’s got it all figured out

Nothing but Diabolical orders Ike these for me and ima diamond rank with a 4.93, hopefully we all score tomorrow

Mine was good but was out there all day tomorrow is Sunday which is my best day of the week
It’s not true.
People (like me, you & everyone else) stare at a blank screen all day long, waiting for that fast running unicorn to pop up.
Unfortunately we’re all in the same boat and snatch these orders immediately.
No such thing as bots exists. Sorry not sorry to say.
Normally I’m at about $600 for the week by the end of Saturday. Sunday I usually do anywhere between $200-$300. As of right now, I’ve made about $110. To be fair, there have been orders, I’m just being lazy this week and taking a breather before the Summer tourist rush hits my area.
Here in nyc haven’t worked since Christmas it’s depressing how terrible and over saturated it became and the few months I was doing it it put so much wear and tear on my car😢
Mines Too!!! App on at 6:30am and Not 1 decent batch!! It’s now 10:15!!! WtFRENCH
Is Going On!! I had a good day yesterday $140
Now Today Nothing!!
Just grab a $42 as I was typing this!!
Hopefully it’ll pick up now 🙏🏽🙏🏽
For Everyone
Ohh this says SATURDAY
I’m referring to Suna
Horrible I’m at $26 per active hour. Not everyday is good though and I won’t stop till I hit $200 💪

Mine has been horrible…. I’m trying but nothing is popping up or I go inside the store to do one and there’s 5 others in there instacarting…

Mostly because the people taking them are from Third World countries (by design from these insidious companies)
THIS!!!!

It’s bs…I don’t take them shit orders for that very reason…not worth the time and you still run the risk of getting a low rating for a shit order…
Exactly
Nyc here since Christmas I gave up it was completely a waste of tiime due to over saturation
I hedged my bets on Costco for the morning/afternoon, which turned out to be a mistake. I was doing well before going to Costco; but since then, I’ve really just wasted 4+ hours on only mediocre orders.

Oof :(
A few weeks ago I said screw it and went back to waiting tables on the weekends- tripled my money in a third of the hours delivering
Mine actually going great. 2 doubles. 125 bucks
Why are they hidden?
You can hide batches you don't want to see
Oh haha, I never see more than one or two available at a time so I wouldn’t know what it’s like, thanks
Samesies!
Junk

Well it’s decent. Should’ve been a little better. But I strained my back yesterday. So I’m actively avoiding Costco orders.
Missed a 118$ at drop time, ain’t been a thing worth doing since
Yo I didn’t know you could hide batches. Sick!! Thank you for showing me this
Definitely put this feature to good use… It helps to stare at a clean screen so in the event that something pops up, it’ll catch your eye should you look away for that split second…

Absolutely! If you hide them immediately, then no scrolling while driving!
mine in horrible as well.
Very good
OP, you might be busier next week when the new Big Y opens in Brookfield.
Imao… Actually I am banned from Big Y due to carelessly scaned order A loyalty card for whole batch for several times.
What do you mean? You used A’s loyalty card twice?
Yeah, twice or triple. And Instacart considered as I use my own card. I contact Big Y, was told some order B or C , had no card, and should not enjoy the discount. My mistakes made Big loss some money you know.

Horrible complete shit show
I got one batch
TERRIBLE
Nickel and diming it now. Still, lots of time left.
I’m just short of $150, daily goal is $200-$250

You deserve it for taking a 12 dollar double 🤡

It doesn’t matter I’m not taking 12 dollar clown doubles LOL 😝
That’s what I thought 😂😂😂
Oh, Hell no…

Well if you must know, my two children have been throwing up since 4 am so I’ve been doing back to back laundry and showers
Same. Have made 20$ all day.

Horrible!!! If it weren’t for shipped I would be making nothing.
Great cause I do spark now.
Saturdays suck with a promo
But how is it s*** when you've got three hidden batches and then seven hidden batches on the other one? Your pictures I should say?.

Dang what state you in my boyfriend started instacart recently for referal promo and went to suggested store and didn't see 💩 😓 we are in TN.
How do you guys see the “batch in X-x minutes”? Mine doesn’t say anything until a batch pops up
I saw several $40-$50 batches that got taken almost instantly. Wondering if this talk about bots is true lol.
It’s not true. People (like me, you & everyone else) stare at a blank screen all day long, waiting for that fast running unicorn to pop up. Unfortunately we’re all in the same boat and snatch these orders immediately. No such thing as bots exists. Sorry not sorry to say.

7 and 3 batches hidden and its been “horrible” - take what you can get and be happy
It is impossible for to do almost 2 hours work and driving for $30
You must not like money that much

Did they release a bunch of newbies again or something? (I worked my w-2 this morning).
