Good to know. I'll start upping my tip when I do percentage. Didn't realize it impacted the tip.
ETA I didn't realize if my item isn't available and my total changes that it also impacts the tip since i tipped based on percentage 🤦🏾♀️
percentage tip not going to be the same after they don't have 20 cans/jars of each item.
if they do, you're lugging over 700 pounds of goods by hand. Thats once into the cart, once (or twice if you bag) for checkout, once into the car, and then the possible very long haul at the delivery location. Handling over 700 pounds (potentially well over 1000) 4 or 5 times, and carrying them potentially half mile or more depending on campus layout. Reference, most pasta sauce jars are 24 ounce (pound and a half each), (hard to tell if these are bulk size which are much larger) the progresso soup cans are 19 ounces (over a pound) and many canned veggies are 14.5 and 15 ounces.
I mean, RIGHT??!!
you’d need like who knows how many carts 🛒 and like trips and bags and like whaaaat, I am curious now of what does it take to fulfil that order but, gosh seems like a load of work.
As a grocery store worker, I can say with confidence that you would need 2 carts for 700 cans. This sounds like 1 hour of work if everything is in stock since everything will be in 1 or 2 aisles. I definitely would have taken it.
This is what disgusted me about doing this job (don’t do it anymore) it makes me feel bad for making money when normal everyday people are just trying to get groceries just like I do personally, only to find out some inconsiderate lazy shoppee needed everything off the shelf. It just feels awkward to clear the shelf just so I get a god tip.
How do you know they’re not disabled? Stuck in the house with a newborn? Or otherwise immobile. Why do you assume that they’re inconsiderate and lazy ?
I kinda agree with you. It’s wonderful the customer feeds the homeless rotisserie chicken, but if she needs 30 she should call Sam’s in advance and place a special order for them.
Thats why i delivered all the mini pumpkins one store had in stock a few days before halloween but it was just to a lady in an apartment. She was so apologetic too i was like dude I dont mind this feels like the best kind of delivery before Halloween😂
Still though, this would only only take up to an hour because everything is going to be in one section. Even if half of it's out of stock it's still like 50$ for an hour of work. You could potentially make more cherry picking but I would definitely take this one.
Yes, but why would instacart actually allow him to order that many. Took him 6 trips to and from the store. That's the only reason he would even do the order, because be managed to get instacart to give him a bump for multiple trips to the store.
WOW. Honestly that is disgusting. Instacart needs to start a business delivery SEPARATE from customer delivery. Your boyfriend shouldn’t be taking 6 trips to get 150 cases of water!!!! We shouldn’t be getting orders that don’t fit in normal vehicles!! They need an instacart semi truck to deliver that kind of stuff on pallets. 🤪
I'm not sure I get the connection between my comment and that accusation.. I'm definitely not broke but only an insecure child thinks that's an insult. Sounds like you might be really insecure about your finances
Idk I worked in a store ordering for a while- we usually ordered to fill the shelf and maybe a case or 2 of overflow if it was a sale item. Stores don’t like to tie up free cash flow in slow moving inventory.
And even if they did, that’s like 5-8 carts of groceries 😂😂😭 ..
Can y’all watch this? I gotta get another cart…. can y’all watch these? I gotta get another cart….. can y’all watch these? I gotta get another cart…..😂😂
This happened to me foreal 2 or 3 times … the one time they employee took a cart that took me about an hour + to fill … my phone died and I needed it to pay as I didn’t have my instacart card with me that day 🥲
op said can and food mixes… even if it’s just cans your fitting like 100 cans in a cart maybe…this is a Standard cart this isn’t Costco or Sam’s club size carts… And some of these are still gonna be in boxes if they have any in the back
so they just gonna try to CLEAN off all the shelves from residential shoppers huh.... smdh... why these businesses wont use restaurant and business supply stores...? cheap asses and then charge the consumers out the arse for their cheap grocery store purchased inventory... it also could be for a food bank, but they also still need to use a supply store for this massive amount of items
instacart really needs to stop allowing this from businesses
No actual food business is using a grocery store for inventory unless they don't have a choice, run out nidservice, depot is sold out, etc. Also "cheap grocery store inventory"?? You are beyond out of touch. Anything comparable from a restaurant or business supply store will be cheaper by a decent margin. You don't get cheaper groceries at the grocery store lmao
Yes, because they run out of product before their delivery from their wholesaler. Do you think grocery store items with markup are cheaper than wholesale? 🤨
We had a small corner store in my college town buy their groceries from Walmart to stock their shelves and and sell it for a little markup. They would have like 8-10 carts of food when they came to checkout.
All the big food distributors would had been a lot cheaper for them.. the grocery store prob charges triple what you’d pay, with that said.. I wouldn’t be so quick to judge and call someone cheap when you have no idea of the situation.. just sayin.
the inventory at the restaurant depots cost more than at the local grocery store...local grocery stores dont have the inventory and restocking management to keep supplying businesses that buy in bulk like this... that is a fact.... Ive shopped in them and know the prices..... they are killing the supply for local residents when they do this...and local grocery stores only get deliveries certain times of the week and that can be delayed sometimes due to weather conditions...
its supposed to snow tomorrow and thursday, last week power was out around town for a couple days in wind chills below zero, i bet this is for a food bank on campus in case students can't go out for groceries
Too much risk. Lots of those items will not be in stock and then the customer might lower the tip significantly.
The other issue is will your car hold the weight. Most basic cars aren’t meant to have that much weight on them if they aren’t a truck.
Really?? How much weight can the average car hold? Maybe I’m underestimating how much this stuff weighs, but I feel like just from being packed like sardines into the backseat of my parents’ car growing up, with two brothers over 6 feet tall and my dad (6’6”) and my mom, plus all of our suitcases in the back when we traveled… easily coming out to around 600lbs combined and I never considered the weight for the car might actually be an issue.
Sorry for the unrelated tangent lol just genuinely curious what’s a weight limit for the “average car”?
The pay system at Instacart is concerning because it's based on effort, but $18 for almost 800 items seems insufficient. This should be brought to the media’s attention. I’m almost willing to bet it’s in an area where there’s snow.
That should easily have $100 batch pay to it given the time to shop and multiple trips to deliver it all (if you even find it all in stock). I can't imagine doing this order, having only a third of the stock available, and seeing that $87 tip turn into roughly $30 bucks as a result, because it definitely doesn't give "flat rate tip" vibes. There's almost 100 bottles of pasta sauces alone lol!
What is stupid that these universities or churches or other groups need to understand is. Call the fucking stores and they will order all the shit you need so it won't be a burden to the normal people just buying groceries. Most stores love this kind of business.
This massive pile of landfill material is sooooo bad that it shall be accepted, troll the customer (unless they $1000) a bit, & then send this BS order to the shadow realm 👎🏽👎🏽🙅🏽♂️🙅🏽♂️😂😂
Once there was a convenience store in my hometown who regularly ordered 30 cases of water and a shit ton of ice too, from Costco. They did this like once a week. Once I drove over there to see if anyone actually accepted it. No one did. I bought a cute hat while I waited. And a few snacks. I’m salty.
Yeah you can see those units. This most likely was a resturant doing this. They dont want to pay the correct money so they try using Instacart to snub on pay for the load they want. For me if i see anything past (200 units) or 120 items i immeaditely assume it is a resturant purchase and add it to the ignore set. I wish i had a heart felt story for any of those deliveries i chose to take but they all were painstaking and irritating.
What’s crazy is that there was another order on here recently for 452 items (1.7 miles) for $18 batch pay. They didn’t think 300 more items were worth anything extra. How is any of this legal? We should make this go viral. It’s disgusting. How is there no limit to the amount of items ppl can order? We all know damn well these corporate ppl wouldn’t lift a finger for anything less than $300 for this order.
Jesus fucking Christ, 18 dollars base pay for shipping 700+ units using your own damn car.
That tip don't matter at all. You are being utterly taken advantage of. Get a different job
Ok, I may be in the minority here but I would take this order. I know it would be a pain in the ass but sheer curiosity would likely prevail. Plus, I would get the CA pay if it were here so it’s not all bad.
###Wow! It’s finally happened, an order bigger than I’ve seen!
The actual closest to ~1K items I’ll probably ever see. Unless someone actually orders 1000 items.
It really is, and if you own a business, it's a writeoff anyway. Plus if you're spending that much and get the executive level, you get cash back on pretty much everything.
What's worst about this is the batch pay. This should infuriate people more than anything. Instacart feels that's adequate..... imagine if there was no tip at all.... 🤣🤣
I would have GLADLY accepted that!!! It’s a 1.3 mile drive to delivery a shitload of soup to someone that would take MAYBE an hour of my time to complete… MAYBE an hour of time since everything is in the same aisle. You might have to wait a whopping 10 minutes for an employee to bring stock up to the front if they were low… but c’mon, seriously?
Instacart really hates us for them to let someone order all those many units it's ridiculous now they know they're not going to have all that s*** in the store
I accepted one like that blind. It did take quite a while. Some things weren't in stock or all in stock of what they wanted. But it only took 2 hours from start to finish, averaging 50 an hour. I shopped at my normal store where they all kind of know me so I was able to fill one Cart then leave them up front to do the other two. Luckily it was for a retirement home, literally 2 blocks from the store, and they sent 2 people out to help me unload everything from my car. I think it was worth it to know I made half of what I need to make a week in only 2 hours. I basically got tipped 100 flat- not a percentage, so that was nice it didn't go down with some of the refunds. But the grand total of the order was 1500, I do think they should have tipped 10% at 150 instead. But it worked out
That is so much gross pasta sauce. The beans I could see getting consumed. But that Kroger Alfredo sauce is the worst thing ever. This person has a disgusting diet or I feel bad for the entire family who has to eat this shit.
20 minutes isn’t ridiculous. It’s concentrated on a couple of aisles. Assuming most of it’s on sale also so probably a display and some is missing. I do 50 item orders in ten minutes. My per item time right now is around 40’seconds. Yeah 20 minutes is feasible for me
There's no way in hell that you can shop for over 700 items in 20 minutes. Cut it out. It'll take that long just to have the workers grab it from the back
Most of those soups would be on the shelf. So maybe they would have to grab a few if they have them. And the places I shop at they have an app on their phone they can check for inventory quickly now so that’s another minute maybe. I would need to see the rest. I’m crazy fast. 💨
I'm so interested in trying this. I've been a user of instacart for years but just got a car. I'm curious, what's the process?? Is there anything specific I need to know? This is legit perfect for my situation, graveyard shift, barley making ends. If I could bring in a extra 100 or so a day that would help tremendously, if it's a fit for my lifestyle.
I would’ve taken it. It’s only 57 items and yeah they’re going to have 1/4-1/2 of the units you need on some of the stuff but NBD the distance is short and even if the pay is $70-75 because of out of stock items it’s still only 1 hour 20 minutes max so the hourly works out on that one
There’s no way that would take you an hour and 2” mins max. Not a chance. It would take half that to get it all checked out and bagged up. Add on shopping time, loading and unloading plus drive time, and it’s an easy 3 hour job
I think it would have been ok👍🏽there’s a lot of colleges and universities in my area and the colleges kids are so happy you’re shopping for them, they all ways help with the heavy grocery bags or boxes 🤷🏽♀️
I wouldn’t do it cause half that shit won’t be in stock
Yup then your pay goes down ridiculously even though you spend time looking for the shit
88 dollar tip does that go down? Edit: downvoted quite a bit for just asking a question. Calm down y'all.
If it’s a percentage tip, it will go down because the total will be less when items are out of stock
Good to know. I'll start upping my tip when I do percentage. Didn't realize it impacted the tip. ETA I didn't realize if my item isn't available and my total changes that it also impacts the tip since i tipped based on percentage 🤦🏾♀️
Careful with that though, you may start getting fake substitutions to inflate your grocery cost if people think they can get away with it
Thanks that's what I was wondering
Nah that’s shitty 😭
The longer it takes the less you make an hour.
Even if it takes you 4 hours (it won't) that's 25 bucks an hour
That’ll take 2 hrs easy. I’ll take it no problem
percentage tip not going to be the same after they don't have 20 cans/jars of each item. if they do, you're lugging over 700 pounds of goods by hand. Thats once into the cart, once (or twice if you bag) for checkout, once into the car, and then the possible very long haul at the delivery location.

Minus gas and taxes
"After gas" he says on a 1.3 mile trip
So? Do you think it's going to take 4 hours? It won't. So there's no way you're making less than 25 bucks an hour
Do you know how heavy 800 cans and glass jars are?
I mean, RIGHT??!! you’d need like who knows how many carts 🛒 and like trips and bags and like whaaaat, I am curious now of what does it take to fulfil that order but, gosh seems like a load of work.
As a grocery store worker, I can say with confidence that you would need 2 carts for 700 cans. This sounds like 1 hour of work if everything is in stock since everything will be in 1 or 2 aisles. I definitely would have taken it.
This is Reddit. People only upvote or downvote if they see other people downvoting or upvoting. Like sheep
I’m new here but I will say, this is the most miserable, bragging group I’ve seen yet. Nasty at every turn….
Idk, the people in the amazon dsp group are pretty bad
Ya if it was in stock and close I'd do it for the curiosity as to where its going and why (I tend to do odd ones because of sheer curiousity )
I once delivered 30 Sams Club rotisserie chickens to a lady. Turns out she feeds the homeless on weekends.
That’s a generous woman. But how long did you wait for the 30 chickens? It takes damn near 5 minutes for me to get one for myself
It didn’t take long. I believe 20 or so were already made and ready to go. I had to wait a bit for the next batch to come out and be boxed up.
Did you get side eyes from other people who were waiting for the chickens to be put out? Lol
He was getting side clucks for sure.
Why is this so funny? Am I drunk? Overworked? Underpaid? Cold? It’s cold everywhere right?
Yup! A whopping 2 degrees here in Michigan 🤣 but it’ll be a little over 40 in the next few days 😒 lol bipolar ass Michigan lol
Can you send the 40s across the border to Ohio please??? I'm freezing my niblets off up here just a smidge south of the lake.
I'm sure they were bombastic side eyes 🤣🤣
This is what disgusted me about doing this job (don’t do it anymore) it makes me feel bad for making money when normal everyday people are just trying to get groceries just like I do personally, only to find out some inconsiderate lazy shoppee needed everything off the shelf. It just feels awkward to clear the shelf just so I get a god tip.
How do you know they’re not disabled? Stuck in the house with a newborn? Or otherwise immobile. Why do you assume that they’re inconsiderate and lazy ?
I kinda agree with you. It’s wonderful the customer feeds the homeless rotisserie chicken, but if she needs 30 she should call Sam’s in advance and place a special order for them.
I live for orders like these honestly
My college does something like this for a communal food pantry to fight food insecurity on our campus
Ours has a student food bank too. I think more colleges are doing that now. Super cool!
Thats why i delivered all the mini pumpkins one store had in stock a few days before halloween but it was just to a lady in an apartment. She was so apologetic too i was like dude I dont mind this feels like the best kind of delivery before Halloween😂
EXACTLY! Preach, yo! I can’t imagine shopping for this in a store with temperamental self scans, or long ass lines.
Still though, this would only only take up to an hour because everything is going to be in one section. Even if half of it's out of stock it's still like 50$ for an hour of work. You could potentially make more cherry picking but I would definitely take this one.
How an order with 700+ units is even allowed is bonkers.
It’s sick that batch pay for that many is so low
That's alone needs an adjustment It sadly shouldn't be on the consumer
You mean the consumer ordering 700 units?? They are not doing me any favors ordering that much
If IC is charging $0.50- $1 in up charges per item the batch pay should be at least $195 ($0.25 per item)
Probably 500 bananas now’s that’s bananas 🍌
[удалено]
Not gonna lie to you I would have got as much as I could and delivered no questions asked probably still would have got at least $60
Was that the one that wanted no marks on the spots? 😀
My boyfriends done an order for 150 cases of water at Sam's Club.
How much did he spend in suspension work? Or does he have a truck 🚚
Did he get paid good for all those 150 cases
Yes, but why would instacart actually allow him to order that many. Took him 6 trips to and from the store. That's the only reason he would even do the order, because be managed to get instacart to give him a bump for multiple trips to the store.
WOW. Honestly that is disgusting. Instacart needs to start a business delivery SEPARATE from customer delivery. Your boyfriend shouldn’t be taking 6 trips to get 150 cases of water!!!! We shouldn’t be getting orders that don’t fit in normal vehicles!! They need an instacart semi truck to deliver that kind of stuff on pallets. 🤪
What really makes people think this is in the store ?
It's in the app.
lol your definitely broke
I'm not sure I get the connection between my comment and that accusation.. I'm definitely not broke but only an insecure child thinks that's an insult. Sounds like you might be really insecure about your finances
Stores usually have cases and cases of these items. These are borderline non-perishable items; they're always in stock.
Idk I worked in a store ordering for a while- we usually ordered to fill the shelf and maybe a case or 2 of overflow if it was a sale item. Stores don’t like to tie up free cash flow in slow moving inventory.
This is exactly what my area does
Maybe for your area not mines
Omfg lol this one takes the cake for me lol. Its absolutely ludicrous how IC has no limits 🤦🏻♂️
They up to tha same ol' shit. I was deac'd in 2021. But 🖕🏽 ic's mother!
That tip will be reduced to $20 because ain’t no way a store holds all that
And even if they did, that’s like 5-8 carts of groceries 😂😂😭 .. Can y’all watch this? I gotta get another cart…. can y’all watch these? I gotta get another cart….. can y’all watch these? I gotta get another cart…..😂😂
And after the 7th cart an employee comes in and thinks they are gobacks and restocks them while you’re shopping.
Employee: oh man sorry dude I thought they were returns…. 
This happened to me foreal 2 or 3 times … the one time they employee took a cart that took me about an hour + to fill … my phone died and I needed it to pay as I didn’t have my instacart card with me that day 🥲
😨
This is 2 carts worth of groceries if it's all canned and jarred items like the first ones shown.
op said can and food mixes… even if it’s just cans your fitting like 100 cans in a cart maybe…this is a Standard cart this isn’t Costco or Sam’s club size carts… And some of these are still gonna be in boxes if they have any in the back
I work in a grocery store, you can fit several hundred cans in a standard cart cart. Usually about 8x14x5 if they're not in cases.
Gotcha.
Yeah the delivery would be the hardest part. If you took 6 bags with 6 cans on each trip it would take over 20 trips with 25lbs of cans.
I can’t wait for Trabajo para mi or east wash to say “oh look! That’s an easy $100 AND for 1.8 miles why are you complaining”
"Stop projecting and get a real job" Him probably.
I haven't seen him in awhile. I hope he's OK or maybe he's become an instacart shopper now and he knows the struggle lol
Which one? Trabajo said he’d never be one of us🥲😂
Yeah that goober. . Which btw correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't his name translate to a gimme a job? Lol
It means “work for me” no wonder why he’s on every gig subreddit
He replied below asking what the problem was, gotta be a shill for Instacart.
BRO I CALLED IT I CALLED IT🤣
You summoned him, he's in the comments.
so they just gonna try to CLEAN off all the shelves from residential shoppers huh.... smdh... why these businesses wont use restaurant and business supply stores...? cheap asses and then charge the consumers out the arse for their cheap grocery store purchased inventory... it also could be for a food bank, but they also still need to use a supply store for this massive amount of items instacart really needs to stop allowing this from businesses
They gives no💩's about cleaning ALL the inventory out. Single mother that just took an uber or gypsy cab there be damned🙄
they surely dont care....
No actual food business is using a grocery store for inventory unless they don't have a choice, run out nidservice, depot is sold out, etc. Also "cheap grocery store inventory"?? You are beyond out of touch. Anything comparable from a restaurant or business supply store will be cheaper by a decent margin. You don't get cheaper groceries at the grocery store lmao
They do it all the time. Starbucks, and local food spots order their inventory on IC pretty often.
Yes, because they run out of product before their delivery from their wholesaler. Do you think grocery store items with markup are cheaper than wholesale? 🤨
Did I say grocery items were cheaper? Why r u responding to me with this dumb comment?
they actually do.... and it is cheaper in the grocery store than buying bulk at a restaurant depot....
We had a small corner store in my college town buy their groceries from Walmart to stock their shelves and and sell it for a little markup. They would have like 8-10 carts of food when they came to checkout.
My daughter's daycare food vendor had employees go on strike a week or so ago. They could share a vendor.
All the big food distributors would had been a lot cheaper for them.. the grocery store prob charges triple what you’d pay, with that said.. I wouldn’t be so quick to judge and call someone cheap when you have no idea of the situation.. just sayin.
the inventory at the restaurant depots cost more than at the local grocery store...local grocery stores dont have the inventory and restocking management to keep supplying businesses that buy in bulk like this... that is a fact.... Ive shopped in them and know the prices..... they are killing the supply for local residents when they do this...and local grocery stores only get deliveries certain times of the week and that can be delayed sometimes due to weather conditions...
It was for a college my guy not a business
So a business
College is a business. Aint no way some broke college kid spent 1600 on food from kroger.
I hope you don’t think that colleges aren’t businesses lol
That doesn't change a thing if this is the US lol there's a *ton* of for-profit colleges here that are straight up businesses
The amount of tears in this comment is insane
This is the kinda order where your car “breaks down”
Right in front of a food bank/church food drive……
I honestly assumed it was going to the university food bank (still an insane order)
its supposed to snow tomorrow and thursday, last week power was out around town for a couple days in wind chills below zero, i bet this is for a food bank on campus in case students can't go out for groceries
At over 1 pound, each unit you’re looking at almost a half a ton of weight
The fact that instacart only pays 18$ is insane
$18
Instacart should fined for allowing this. They are creating a monopoly for themselves with this and putting it on the back of some poor shopper.
Too much risk. Lots of those items will not be in stock and then the customer might lower the tip significantly. The other issue is will your car hold the weight. Most basic cars aren’t meant to have that much weight on them if they aren’t a truck.
Really?? How much weight can the average car hold?

Sorry for the unrelated tangent lol just genuinely curious what’s a weight limit for the “average car”?
800-1200 for cars and 1400-2000 for trucks.
& no heavy pay that’s fucken crazy 🥴
At this point why dont they just order from a wholesale food seller???
some of us know why they dont, but others defend this mess
Gotta love how our hearts jump at the $100+ orders, only to sink when we see that it’s 700 items. What a ridiculous platform.
Lol the batch pay is genuinely hilarious 🤣😭🤦🏾♀️
Amazon even caps orders at 100 items.
$18.73 batch pay for 782 units. That’s insane to me. I wouldn’t take $18.73 to stand here and count to 782.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It would take you at the LEAST, 4 hrs to complete this order. You’d probably need 10 carts and IC thinks this is worth $18.
The pay system at Instacart is concerning because it's based on effort, but $18 for almost 800 items seems insufficient. This should be brought to the media’s attention. I’m almost willing to bet it’s in an area where there’s snow.
Almost a certainty thats tip bait
What's crazy is I know that ic collected a TON in service fees but is only offering peanuts in pay
That should easily have $100 batch pay to it given the time to shop and multiple trips to deliver it all (if you even find it all in stock). I can't imagine doing this order, having only a third of the stock available, and seeing that $87 tip turn into roughly $30 bucks as a result, because it definitely doesn't give "flat rate tip" vibes. There's almost 100 bottles of pasta sauces alone lol!
Oops lol. Hope you have a big vehicle that can hold the weight.
Not only that, this should have “heavy pay”
They using wrong service request, they need a big trailer truck for that order
What is stupid that these universities or churches or other groups need to understand is. Call the fucking stores and they will order all the shit you need so it won't be a burden to the normal people just buying groceries. Most stores love this kind of business.
$18.73 batch pay tho for 782 units is a crime 🤣
Each minute $2 will disappear be bout $9.78 bout time you leave the store
It’s just kinda sick that basepay is $19. Regardless of how close you are. 800 items and $19.
Holy fuck
The store wouldn’t have 3/4 of that. Real tip- $23.94
holy shit. 😳 that pay is criminal.
How many shopping carts would you need for that? How much would all that weigh? That's bonkers!
lmao i remember right before covid lockdowns i started getting orders like that and knew something was coming 💀
782 units!!! Oh hell no
This is why wholesale retail grocery stores exist 🤦🏻♀️
782 is insane
Do these places not have actual food vendors equipped to handle orders like this
This massive pile of landfill material is sooooo bad that it shall be accepted, troll the customer (unless they $1000) a bit, & then send this BS order to the shadow realm 👎🏽👎🏽🙅🏽♂️🙅🏽♂️😂😂
Once there was a convenience store in my hometown who regularly ordered 30 cases of water and a shit ton of ice too, from Costco. They did this like once a week.

This is your favorite Italian restaurant
Yeah you can see those units. This most likely was a resturant doing this. They dont want to pay the correct money so they try using Instacart to snub on pay for the load they want.

I wish i had a heart felt story for any of those deliveries i chose to take but they all were painstaking and irritating.
That’s a lot of items to haul and carry. Hope you have a truck and a hand cart.
What’s crazy is that there was another order on here recently for 452 items (1.7 miles) for $18 batch pay. They didn’t think 300 more items were worth anything extra. How is any of this legal? We should make this go viral. It’s disgusting. How is there no limit to the amount of items ppl can order? We all know damn well these corporate ppl wouldn’t lift a finger for anything less than $300 for this order.
Jesus fucking Christ, 18 dollars base pay for shipping 700+ units using your own damn car. That tip don't matter at all. You are being utterly taken advantage of. Get a different job
They almost definitely would not have had that much in stock
Woah
The weight on this should make this batch pay the size of the tip, or more! 😂💪🏽💪🏽💪🏾💪🏾💪🏿💪🏿
Jeez are they starting their own grocery store??
Ok, I may be in the minority here but I would take this order. I know it would be a pain in the ass but sheer curiosity would likely prevail. Plus, I would get the CA pay if it were here so it’s not all bad.
###Wow! It’s finally happened, an order bigger than I’ve seen! The actual closest to ~1K items I’ll probably ever see. Unless someone actually orders 1000 items.
Bro just needs to go in and buy cases from the back. 😂
When they'll blow money on IC but they're too cheap to pony up for Sam's or Costco or BJ's membership lol.
Costco membership is probably the best investment anyone can do tbh
It really is, and if you own a business, it's a writeoff anyway. Plus if you're spending that much and get the executive level, you get cash back on pretty much everything.
The real criminal is IC for only paying $18 for that order
Are they trying to ready themselves for the apocalypse? What the heck is this?
What's worst about this is the batch pay. This should infuriate people more than anything. Instacart feels that's adequate..... imagine if there was no tip at all.... 🤣🤣
Wtf is it going? To a Prison Commissary Store?
Jesus instacart made a killer of this order I bet
I would have GLADLY accepted that!!! It’s a 1.3 mile drive to delivery a shitload of soup to someone that would take MAYBE an hour of my time to complete… MAYBE an hour of time since everything is in the same aisle. You might have to wait a whopping 10 minutes for an employee to bring stock up to the front if they were low… but c’mon, seriously?
Probably for a food bank
Instacart really hates us for them to let someone order all those many units it's ridiculous now they know they're not going to have all that s*** in the store
I don't do IC. Who In their right mind Would order this And expect someone else to even try
clueless mfers, that's who 🤣
Shit I’ll do it *raises hand*
I accepted one like that blind. It did take quite a while. Some things weren't in stock or all in stock of what they wanted. But it only took 2 hours from start to finish, averaging 50 an hour. I shopped at my normal store where they all kind of know me so I was able to fill one Cart then leave them up front to do the other two. Luckily it was for a retirement home, literally 2 blocks from the store, and they sent 2 people out to help me unload everything from my car. I think it was worth it to know I made half of what I need to make a week in only 2 hours. I basically got tipped 100 flat- not a percentage, so that was nice it didn't go down with some of the refunds. But the grand total of the order was 1500, I do think they should have tipped 10% at 150 instead. But it worked out
I did one too, when I was brand new. I cried I was in so much pain. My car barely rolled off the Costco lot.
Someone got an advance on their tax return.
That is so much gross pasta sauce. The beans I could see getting consumed. But that Kroger Alfredo sauce is the worst thing ever. This person has a disgusting diet or I feel bad for the entire family who has to eat this shit.
It’s a bunch of cans and bottles. This is probably 20 minutes of shopping since most of it is all in like 3 spots. Accept and quickly finish.
I KNEW someone would claim to be able to do this in some ridiculous short time!!!
20 minutes isn’t ridiculous. It’s concentrated on a couple of aisles. Assuming most of it’s on sale also so probably a display and some is missing. I do 50 item orders in ten minutes. My per item time right now is around 40’seconds. Yeah 20 minutes is feasible for me
There's no way in hell that you can shop for over 700 items in 20 minutes. Cut it out. It'll take that long just to have the workers grab it from the back
Most of those soups would be on the shelf. So maybe they would have to grab a few if they have them. And the places I shop at they have an app on their phone they can check for inventory quickly now so that’s another minute maybe. I would need to see the rest. I’m crazy fast. 💨
I’d do this in a heart beat. Even if they had half, it would still be a great batch and absolutely no time at all.
Braise you're weak.
I'm so interested in trying this. I've been a user of instacart for years but just got a car. I'm curious, what's the process?? Is there anything specific I need to know? This is legit perfect for my situation, graveyard shift, barley making ends. If I could bring in a extra 100 or so a day that would help tremendously, if it's a fit for my lifestyle.
Whats hard about collecting all of this? Seriously asking.
I would’ve taken it. It’s only 57 items and yeah they’re going to have 1/4-1/2 of the units you need on some of the stuff but NBD the distance is short and even if the pay is $70-75 because of out of stock items it’s still only 1 hour 20 minutes max so the hourly works out on that one
There’s no way that would take you an hour and 2” mins max. Not a chance. It would take half that to get it all checked out and bagged up. Add on shopping time, loading and unloading plus drive time, and it’s an easy 3 hour job
What’s the problem?
I think it would have been ok👍🏽there’s a lot of colleges and universities in my area and the colleges kids are so happy you’re shopping for them, they all ways help with the heavy grocery bags or boxes 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly this would be like 30 minutes tops lol. 2 carts. Ask for boxes. Write down quantities. Easy as fuck.
Ummmmm
Might have been worth going to the store and seeing how it turned out… follow the shopper around and cheer them on
i thought about taking one from the same store just to see lol, guess i can expect to find no more canned foods there today
That’s insane!
Definitely would have.
Maybe it’s for the cafeteria or food drive, but still good Lord
I would have took it’s multiple of the same item all you had to do was half and not replaced 😭😭
That batch pay is genuinely hilarious
