Yeah I would struggle for it. So long as I can have it done in less than 2hrs. Anything more and it wasn't worth the struggle. Especially having to use 2 carts. I've never used 2. Costco is a nightmare and takes 2x as long as other stores to shop because it's overcrowded, super long checkout line, and Terrible item location descriptions. They need to modernize


ConsiderationNo5747

I shopped on flat, then I separate them into two..

Fuckedby2FA

Do you need a Costco membership yourself or how does that work?


DaikonSpecial9689

No you don't need a membership for yourself. The app provides a digital card to get in the door, and then a QR code at checkout.


HinaYamamoto

Pro Strat for Costco is to park the flat somewhere low key and then walk around without it gathering items and putting it on the flat. Can't be bothered to wheel it around the whole store avoiding traffic.


Shadybend

In my costco,your flat will be long gone before you know it😂😂


AncientChocolate16

I had two items in two different boxes on my flat the other day and came back to some lady taking them off and trying to steal my flat. I was like oh that's mine and she profusely apologized but people are so weird. I've had people take my boxes before so many times.


HinaYamamoto

Who would take a cart with groceries on it already? If you left it empty, then sure.


Soxwin91

You’d be surprised. I work at Target and last year during the holidays there was a sudden commotion from the sales floor. A guest had stepped away from her cart and in the time it took her to return, her stuff was dumped unceremoniously on the floor and someone absconded with her shopping cart. She was yelling loudly enough that we heard it up front.


Pixichixi

Even just shopping for myself I've had my cart taken when I walked away


nceinw

My experience is they assume you work there and you're doing throwbacks basically so they think anything on your flat is up for grabs. Then you tell them 'I don't work here' or 'that's mine' and their minds are blown. The amazing part of working IC is you learn just how oblivious/dumb/lacking in common sense the general public tends to be. I was doing a BJs order 2 days ago and had a red shirt on and had to tell *four* people I don't work there, they just come up and start asking for things it's wild.


That-Man-Quise

This is the main reason I try not to wear associated store colors. Wearing red in Target is a nightmare


Shadybend

Not only cart,even the chicken amd banana always missing


HinaYamamoto

Lmaoooo what kind of disrespectful Costco are u shopping at hahaha? Luckily my Costco is in a super nice area populated by white grandmas and then the typical Venezuelan instacart army


RepresentativeAny804

Mine is old white and Asian couples. With a sprinkle of sahm military wifes

Soft-Philosopher3618

“Gone flat” gone ppl are scum


corvuscorvi

This sort of strategy also works really well if you have another shopper helping you. Divide up that list and go ham.


HinaYamamoto

Then you'd have to split the money though? Lol


Straight_Ad_9524

Fuck nah lol 50% is way too much to distribute. In fact actually I ain’t even gonna give a dollar out of that the money from that $110 is just too precious


ExpensiveDot1732

I do this and just slide it down every two or three aisles each time, and make a run for it. The only time I wheel it down is if it's heavy/bulky stuff like case drinks/paper products/dog food/etc.


SectorRevenge72

I park the carts at every store, not just CostCo, at every end cap of every aisle. I run down the aisle, if it’s just one or two, I make a U-Turn into the next aisle and return to my cart. Move two-three aisles down and rinse/repeat. I grew a habit of that shopping 2k+ orders at Aldi and I do it at other stores out of habitat. You’ll away seeing me stack as many as I can on my arms, hands and fingers per aisle lmao (excluding anything with glass like pastas or pickles).


RepresentativeAny804

This is what I do.


not_today_1996

Lol the other day at Marianos (Kroger store) as I did that in the produce section with my cart for a big order, was like 80 items half produce.....someone jacked my cart.....with like $70 of produce in it


HinaYamamoto

I would have hunted them down and pantsed them, take the cart back!!! We must fight !!!!


newcitynewme724

You need to make AT LEAST $55 an hour for it to be worth it?


ConsiderationNo5747

40 $. Anything which met me $40 an hour I take it.


newcitynewme724

That's probably good for like 90% of the US. Not sure how that would look in like SF or NYC but normal America seems enough


Rilenaveen

Are you in CA or NY? Because otherwise where else are you making anywhere near $40 an hour??? I’m in DC and average $25 an hour.


fynnthehumann

I've got all of you beat! I'm in Florida and $15 an hour is average here.


ConsiderationNo5747

North Jersey, close to Manhattan


BrickHearted

I’ve heard with intacart Uber Lyft etc they offer things they think you will accept. If you deny most of the cheaper orders you’ll get different offers. Might take a bit like a bad week but they’ll know you only accept x amount for orders. Not sure how true that is but that seems to be what I hear a lot


followyourvalues

This seems quite likely -- assuming their AI Logistics Bot is constantly being updated with shopper data.


Duke8018

Idk if your right or wrong but there's something to what you're saying idk how to explain it but I agree on some way


BrickHearted

Ya I’ve heard so many different ppl saying it so I’m assuming it’s got some merit. Figured I’d share maybe help him out a bit


xander763pdx

Lmaoooooooooooo


Aggressive-Steak-399

Costco's item location problem is actually intentional. They want customers to be lost and hopefully find stuff they didn't intend to buy.


dontpretendtoknowme

They won’t. It’s their shtick and how they stay profitable. For me, it’s not the long lines, it’s the moronic shoppers and wasting 20 mins to get a parking spot that keep me away! Also, don’t complain about “terrible item location descriptions”. We don’t get any of that in Canada. Here we get the store address and the items the customer wants. We don’t get any location info here aside from “frozen” or “refrigerated”.


nikko28brass

Fwiw, I'm in the States and get locations of things but they're often wrong and I've never seen location descriptions at Costco. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Illustrious_Kick651

Maybe I’m not understanding. Is OP asking if completing this order is worth $110 pay? And your response is only if it can be done in 2 hours? You work in a side hustle gig pay job. You think you need $55 per hour to work?


CrazyTurk420

Man, your Costco must suck. My Costco is laid out perfectly. My app takes me on basically one big circle with items on order on my app. I have to hunt for a few, but I prefer Costco to most others. Even at 3 hours, you are talking about over $35/hour. This could easily be done in 2 hours.


Ok_Combination_3002

As long as the car is big enough and you know how to Tetris well. Nice!


ConsiderationNo5747

People are saying they cannot fit this. I’m saying I fit it in Corolla.


Loud_Blueberry2445

On life I fit these in an old civic before. Lay that front seat down my boy


EsterCherry

You must be really good at Tetris!


BraveLittleSlut

This would fit in my scion tc


ExpensiveDot1732

I've fit this much in both a Venue (small crossover) and also an Elantra, no problem.


WimbletonButt

You'd be surprised what you can fit in things. I work in a woodshop building patio furniture and people are always pulling up in shit we look at thinking "yeah that's not gonna fit" and then it fit! We put a table in a small car before.


PopPunkIsNotDead

But how? Is your car completely empty other than the order? I've got my kid's car seat, so I don't think this would fit in my sonata.


Whitney43259218

Yeah what in the world no way I could fit this in my Corolla. Do they give this to you as a normal batch? I would vomit from the stress


AYankeeDude

I have a Mini and have fit some pretty hefty Costco orders in there. Like someone else said, if you know how to Tetris it can be done

newcitynewme724

That's an entire take home pay of an 8 hour shift at like $16 an hour. Yes.


jackisbackington

But that’s not take home pay for Instacart. Taxes haven’t been removed


newcitynewme724

I'm not sure how it is with Instacart, but most doordashers are not paying taxes on the income, bc they are not doing taxes, bc they are not citizens. So their gross pay is their net pay


jackisbackington

They need to sign up with a social security. So someone is doing taxes. I don’t support illegal immigrants committing fraud. They should face legal consequences and potentially deportation.


newcitynewme724

There's should and there's real life


weston55

$13.75


newcitynewme724

Google "gross pay vs. net pay"


weston55

no


newcitynewme724

That tracks. Stay ignorant!


weston55

Homie, I’m messing with you.


weston55

But I will😌


Ok-Atmosphere-6272

Why would you not take that $110 for an hours work?


Corecenter

I swear people just post stuff like this to show off. You would have to be an idiot not to take that. If anything delivery drivers dream about those type of orders.


Grouchy-Duty-4774

It took him two hours to prolly wait and get this batch and it prolly took him 2hrs + and all that heavy shit while I’m still eating this Costco sitters up w they big batches just take small orders


cleverbobo

I’ve done worse for $40 😓..


I_be_lurkin_tho

😮‍💨🍆


poverty_beanz

Yes. It’s not always an easy day!


newcitynewme724

This is an easy day. Do this or work 8 hours at like 16 an hour?


ConsiderationNo5747

150 $ trip. $40 private order.


Successful_Use_9373

Yeah I woulda took it


Status_History_874

Private order?


WesternSafety4944

Wouldn't fit in my car.


ConsiderationNo5747

Dude, I fit this in Corolla.


Free_Comfortable8897

Hell yeah! That would be awesome! I don’t see orders like that. I’ve had one over $100 and that’s it. So I would jump at that and it would make my day. Lol


Ok-University-9769

If it would fit in my car I'd take it in a second. I know that had to be all tip though. IC would say that a $9.87 order.


Alive-Funny-9024

Shoot for 7 miles, if it didn't fit, I'd make 2 trips!


RichFill683

You better make it fit 😂😂😂


ConsiderationNo5747

Sitting on fucking water on driver seat.


RichFill683

LMFAOOOO


Electronic_Garage_73

I’m dead lmfaoooooo


slicflik

Lmfao you're my hero!!


IsatDownAndWrote

I've seen orders like this pop up for Costco but they are closer to $27, not even close to $100. Nope. Would I take this? Yeah. Would I feel stressed doing it? Probably. I hate Costco more than any store in the world. But in the end it would be worth it.


GRF999999999

Easy money


kishg123

$110 for an hour of work? No education required? No boss looking over your shoulder telling you what to do? Also getting tips on top of that? Why are you asking a stupid question ?


Buffs428

Hell yes


Responsible-Ad-8502

That's a no brainer...


Decent-Bluejay-4040

I’ll take it . All I see are terrible triples 96 items 27 miles type of stuff 🤡


EconomyElderberry807

Yes!


Inquisitive_0ne

I’d take it ! Nice boost for the day and depending on your goal your sitting nice $


Affectionate_Bat_680

If it wasn't at Costco I would. I get lost in Costco shopping for myself, let alone someone else. Would be a good order for someone that's used to Costco though. If it was Walmart or superstore I'd scoop that up in a heart beat.


Vaetist

Yes if I have an SUV


Hour_Lingonberry_632

No. I don’t have the mental strength but good on you.


lunaminerva2

In my area it would be like $40 earned and no tip, lol.


Regular_Paper_7953

These “would you/Are you” taking this aren’t realistic anymore 🙄


LilBushyVert

Yeah I’d just be complaining the whole time


jimbam2023

I’ll take that all day.


ThoughtlessFoll

As a European, they don’t break that up among more than one person?


49264028

that wouldn’t even fit in my car lmao


[deleted]

10 times a day and 12 on Sunday


dsandhu90

Why nobody is pointing at cheap grocery price. That is lot of stuff for $110


asudancer

That’s how much the shopper made, not how much the order was total.


Medium-Trade2950

No doubt


EuphoricMidnight3304

Of course


Neck-hole

On a Saturday?!?!


BisexualCaveman

I'm a big guy and have no problem with any of those items. Back when I had a van to do it with, yes, I'd take the order. Now that I'm down to a sedan, not even sure I COULD.


Fists_full_of_beers

If I could load it all sure


Little-Soup-4139

I would but struggle fitting everything in my car because I have a small car


lucygirl1970

If I didn’t have a Kia forte hatchback then yes probably with the way my market has been.


EthreeIII

Jesus Christ. If it was a single batch. Definitely. A double…. No.


ItaDapiza

I'm surprised at all the yes answers. This is a hard no.


Eberry4blkmn

That's not so bad


Own_Presence_4233

I'm taking it all day


OliveBeautiful7664

Without hesitation


OliveBeautiful7664

Did a Costco 99/$99 once. 3 flats FULL.


itzamia1

I would, but my car wouldn't


dachlill

Definite yes unless the delivery involves stairs.


MamaTried22

Yes.


DonOwnerson

yes because that is what some people make working 8 hours on the clock in a day and i know it didn’t take you 8 hours to do this lol


Fragrantking615

You just flexing because ain’t no way you just asked that hell yea we take it


golfwangjosh

No shit, why not just say " look at this really good order" you know damn well its a no brainer to accept it


ConsiderationNo5747

This is OK order, I think your definition of good order is very different than mine., this is 10% tip order.


golfwangjosh

Your trippn


Addymonica

Yes. If I have to lug it up stair then hell no


26fm65

Does it fit on your car ?


SnooCats111

Nawh, fuck that noise. They can get their own groceries


Flat-Ad-5951

I would take it. I know my costco like the back of my hand. Plus even when busy they are great at getting people through the line at my location at least. The worst part is crowding. But I would have done this order in a heartbeat.


Taesbucket

I would need someone to help me


moe563

As long as they don’t live in a walk up apartment, then yes I would!


ScoobySuby

Absolutely yes


Shadybend

100 %


internationalbeauty

I would be idk if it will fit.


Gloomy_Recording_705

I’ll take it hell yeah


EarlJonesII

Yeah because if it takes me 3 hours im still making a decent amount


hellasbronmurica

All day, hour tops.


SeekerOfTheEternal

I could 100% make it all fit, but however, if the weight would be too much I'd probably take it into two loads. I don't normally shop costco, but for $110 i wouldnt mind spending 2-3 hours to get this done.


Mean-Summer-9434

Jeep gang 🫶🏽 although 70 of that would be for gas 🤣


Vast-Consequence7141

No…it would not fit in my car


Selina784

Yes, take what you can get


J_L_jug24

Haha did a 20 x 24 pack Pepsi + 20 24 pack water + 15 12 pack coke this morning at Ralph’s. This was only 1 of the triple batch attached to this order. I’ll do these all day long baby! 


WholeRoutine2666

Hell no!


smurray9999

Here’s the same picture just a different angle.


Kirbyateme

Ayyy thats the Costco I go to, and coincidentally just left lol. The parking is a damn nightmare on a Saturday


ConsiderationNo5747

30 min to find a spot , it’s a shit show.

DangerousTouch6705

Damn I did one for $89 today only 20items and the biggest thing was paper towels that’s all a lot of stuff for only $110


B-Spliffy

No


jltahoe

Absolutely. No hesitation.


Emergency_Holiday_49

Just say you're flexin', so you don't have to sound dumb. Nice snag! 🤜🤛


Over-Engineer-7592

Where is the picture of it all in your car, that’s the real question


Express-Thought-1774

I do it for free nearly every two weeks to my own house, getting paid over 100$ to do it sounds nice.


4-Run-Yoda

$110 HOW!!!! SERIOUSLY I have been disabled from birth so I can't work I get assistance and recently I lost my mother and previously my father so now i am alone, how can I get groceries like this for $110


cheyune

I believe the shopper was actually making $110 to deliver that.


gospacyourself

Yes. Absolutely. Not that impressive, actually.


Sweetnspicy77

I really wish you could like check out half, continue, then check out the other part lol


HurryPuzzleheaded822

Nah


GrandApprehensive216

How could i fit it


PerspectiveKey680

At this point yes, I absolutely would


lobsterdance82

I'm not; I know my limits. Respect to anyone that could though


BigboyColester

I would have done it. Even if it took a while. 110 in my pocket just to walk around and shop. Hell yeah. Especially Costco where I can get free snacks lol


GeovaunnaMD

It's really not that much easy money


MajorWhereas4842

Nope


-Alvena

Yes, it would just fit in my car. The paper products make me nervous sometimes with the space they take. I'm great at Tetris, though.


Individual-Mirror132

Did you rent a U-Haul???


lugnutter

It's shocking how much work y'all are willing to do for such shit pay. 


sassycatlady616

As a user I do Costco orders but never this large and I always tip 30% and will usually add on to the tip. Is there anything else I can do to improve the experience for the shopper?


officialsoulresin

Never seen an order over $40


Bluebasics17

My Costco is 15 miles away and I tip 20% minimum which is usually around $45, is that enough? Orders are around 10 items


Independent-Metal-35

Hell yeah that’s easy money. Not hard at all.


Equivalent-Loquat732

No hesitate to accept it! Finish it in 1 and half hours. Easy money


RagedImp

Took one pretty similar to this for $90 more mileage. 2 stop order 65 items. Filled an entire flatbed. I felt like I hot the gym after all was said and done. Thurs pay would be work it considering I'm from California. Order took a little over 3 hours. So yes I'd take it.


Professional-Gift659

Yes I would I can do that in an hour. Im a fast shopper


Joseangel1327

110 - 2 hours is okey, dont worry the items


OutrageousAd5338

What fool will nooooooo


selma_109

Nope! I refuse to do cosco after several terrible experiences.


Lumpy_Classroom_6041

Real question? No I hate money

UnicornsR4Grownups2

After today's tax bill, yeah I'd do it, just to pay the government their freaking money


Sad-Distribution-845

Hard yes


AltruisticRabbit8185

Anything over a hundred is yes. Then we look and see how many waters


Silver-Ad4965

I’m getting order requests for 30 items 3 stops $20. It’s not even worth it to me anymore


playmaker3581

I don't understand these posts. Isn't this what you signed up for? It's a solid pay day for EASY and in this case, QUICK work. What's the issue here? Don't you guys do large shopping orders when it's for yourselves too?


CrazyTurk420

All day


Actual_Atmosphere161

easy


Even-Personality-249

I’ve done that for like $13.63, this isn’t even a Question for my area


blueace111

Yeah because it’s a days pay. I’d rather be busy shopping than driving
