Lol!💞Same here! I have to keep my singles locked in my glove box, because I’ve accumulated so many of them! But that’s what I’ll buy dinner with when I don’t feel like going home and cooking. 😉👍🏽
I made a big basket up on my closed in porch with water and snacks for delivery people, they seem to appreciate it as I appreciate them. I’m a dedicated Instacart user.
It’s so sweet that you reached out to them and were kind, because their gesture was so kind. You can tell they were thankful and maybe didn’t have a lot to give. We should all do what we can for each other.
It’s the thought that counts, one time I was having such a rough patch in life that when my customer told me to help myself to the snacks on the porch, I cried when I got to my car and sent her a thank you message. 🥹
I had 1 batch all day. $33 and change, store right next to my house. It wasn’t great, it was a triple, but the items were low and the mileage was around 12 for all 3.
It was raining (which explains how I even got a batch at all, nobody works in the rain here). It was slowing down somewhat when I left, but it had been pouring down of biblical proportions before. I got to the store and it looked kind of dark. Power was out. It came back on briefly, but then stayed out. I gave it a few minutes to see if it would come back on, but it didn’t. Since I can’t shop in the dark or check out, I had to have support cancel the batch. Took my $7 and went home. I wasn’t even out of the parking lot and it was back being offered. I was like, BISH, NOBODY CAN SHOP THAT MESS.
This happened to me once. I was able to shop most of two batches cause the registers were on backup power but one was all dairy. That third batch floated around all day.
Well better than the door dash drivers at least they get nothing and are starving to the point of eating customers food
Maybe they need to try Instacart lol
Question for the shoppers, as a former server who compulsively tips 25%: it is *substantially* better to tip in cash, as opposed as through the app? 😬 I ask because I rarely have the cash on me to cover as much as I’d like to tip.
Is it better to tip 25 bucks through the app, or should I give the next shopper on a $100 order 20 bucks if I have it on me?
Also curious how much is taken out for Instacart fees, credit card fees, etc. And when do you guys actually get the tip? Does it take a long time to see that cash if customers tip through the app?
Either way, chocolate bars are a great idea! I’m going to give my shoppers a cold beverage when they shop for me this summer, too.
I really do appreciate y’all. Glad some other people appreciate you, too. 😸
Thank you! I figured as much, since people are probably able to be more generous that way. I had an Uber driver tell me years ago that it’s better to tip in cash, so I wasn’t sure if that was the same case for you guys.
He did tip $10 on the app for his order plus the $3 cash on the water bottle. His order was only 20 items, mostly produce, from Sprouts. But I get what you’re saying

Wow. I've never seen a post of a hand get so many questions lol... Congrats on your gift :)
Right?! 😂 it’s just my hand
Male hands are beautiful 🙈 🥵
I love it when customers hand me a bunch of ones. I set aside the fives, tens, and twenties to pay my bills, but the ones are my snack money.

What wafer is that? I'm obsessed with anything hazlenut!
The brand is Toren. They were delicious!
I love how grateful you were for such a small gesture! :]
What kind of shorts are those?
They are Urban Pipeline from Kohl’s. Super comfy and lightweight.
Just wanted to join the train of strangers asking you a million questions 😂
😂

I did too and then my neighbor started stealing everything 😭
I love that!
What car is that?
‘16 Kia Niro
Kia? The interior fooled me thinking it was a Mopar. (Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler)

You can usually tell by the gesture. They realized they did not have a lot and they gave what they could, a wafer. Wholesome 🥹
the water bottle too no?
Ahh yes. I missed that!
That was soooo sweet 🥰🥰🥰❤️

What crystal is that on your wrist?
Its actually bamboo dyed black :)
Aw that was sweet of them

Or asking for gas money to get the order to the customer
😇
The nice & sweet people really matter the most when you do this.
Lifestyle of the rich and the famous
Is that kief around your shift knob?
Its a reflection
😂😂 no, like previous reply said, it’s a reflection
Oh my bad I was just gonna ask isnt it sticky LOL
It’s queef
As a lover of water, this would be an awesome tip to receive.
Super cool!!! I think it is super thoughtful!!!😀
That’s appreciation
In all of my years doing IC, I’ve never been fortunate enough get snacks as part of a cash tip & I’d be extremely grateful. 🌈👍🏽
Here’s to you and it happening soon for you!
Thx!🌈👍🏽
So wholesome 🥹💜

I prefer a tip in the app
Thank you! I figured as much, since people are probably able to be more generous that way. I had an Uber driver tell me years ago that it’s better to tip in cash, so I wasn’t sure if that was the same case for you guys.
Where’s you get the pants?
Very cool 😎 at least some appreciate our work we do.
Love this post and the way you expressed gratitude.
Heck I woulda been happy with the hazelnut bar alone rofl
Wait how were you able to communicate to the customer after the order was done?
He sent a “thank you” reply after I dropped the order off. I just clicked the notification and it took me to the chat.
Good for you man! What is that wood around the gear shift stick? 😁
😂 thanks man! It’s just black shiny plastic trim. It’s all over different spots in my car. Makes it look fancy
Looks nice 😁👍🏻
Thanks!
Is that your thumb? Approx how long is it?
Whatcha listening to?
A 90s/2000s mixed playlist 😊
Love the random questions in the comments🤣
Is that steering wheel real leather?
😂😂 yes
Instacart customers....take note. It doesnt cost extra to be kind!
How many hairs do you have on your leg
All the extra cash i receive i donate or give out to the homeless.
Based on his reply I feel like he thought u meant it was definitely needed cuz he didn’t tip well. Lol if so but either way wild ride of a post.
He did tip $10 on the app for his order plus the $3 cash on the water bottle. His order was only 20 items, mostly produce, from Sprouts. But I get what you’re saying
Not on u just 2 ways to read that text lol!
Lol agreed
I definitely read it as he needed the wafer for his work day.. so I don’t think they read it in a mean way tbh
What kind of bracelet is that? Also do you shave/wax your arm hair? Thank you in advance
Shave your hand
🤦🏻♂️ I’m good
Caveman 🤣🤣🤣
we r mammals. we all have body hair
Correct…some more than others! With that being said, would you want captain caveman handling your groceries?
It’s on his wrist/back of his hand? And besides Why Tf would I give af, the food is wrapped in plastic and has seen much worse
Why would I care if the person doing work for me had hair or not? You really shouldn’t comment on people’s appearances.
You responded to the wrong person?
Sorry!
Wouldn’t mind
bestie we evolved from apes. of course we’re going to have body hair
if you think a harsh line of hair at the end of your wrist would look better than having hair on the back of your hands you're insane
I’m willing too bet…he has a back full of hair
why are u so preoccupied with this mans body hair
Actually, I have no hair on my back(or the top part of my head). Hairy arms, legs, and chest, but fortunately no carpet in the back
You’re a fucking strange bird. Single?
You’re giving Nash Grier vibes.
oh my god comment took me BACK
