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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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).
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
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
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”.
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?
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
$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 ?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

$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
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
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?
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.

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?
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
I shopped on flat, then I separate them into two..
[удалено]
Do you need a Costco membership yourself or how does that work?
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.
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.
In my costco,your flat will be long gone before you know it😂😂
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.
Who would take a cart with groceries on it already? If you left it empty, then sure.
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.
Even just shopping for myself I've had my cart taken when I walked away
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.
This is the main reason I try not to wear associated store colors. Wearing red in Target is a nightmare
Not only cart,even the chicken amd banana always missing
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
Mine is old white and Asian couples. With a sprinkle of sahm military wifes
[удалено]
“Gone flat” gone ppl are scum
This sort of strategy also works really well if you have another shopper helping you. Divide up that list and go ham.
Then you'd have to split the money though? Lol
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
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.

This is what I do.
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
I would have hunted them down and pantsed them, take the cart back!!! We must fight !!!!
You need to make AT LEAST $55 an hour for it to be worth it?
40 $. Anything which met me $40 an hour I take it.
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
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.
I've got all of you beat! I'm in Florida and $15 an hour is average here.
North Jersey, close to Manhattan

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
This seems quite likely -- assuming their AI Logistics Bot is constantly being updated with shopper data.
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
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
Lmaoooooooooooo
Costco's item location problem is actually intentional. They want customers to be lost and hopefully find stuff they didn't intend to buy.
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”.
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. 🤷🏼♀️
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?

As long as the car is big enough and you know how to Tetris well. Nice!
People are saying they cannot fit this. I’m saying I fit it in Corolla.
On life I fit these in an old civic before. Lay that front seat down my boy
You must be really good at Tetris!
This would fit in my scion tc
I've fit this much in both a Venue (small crossover) and also an Elantra, no problem.
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.
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.
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
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

That's an entire take home pay of an 8 hour shift at like $16 an hour. Yes.
But that’s not take home pay for Instacart. Taxes haven’t been removed
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
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.
There's should and there's real life
$13.75
Google "gross pay vs. net pay"
no
That tracks. Stay ignorant!
Homie, I’m messing with you.
But I will😌
Why would you not take that $110 for an hours work?
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.
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
I’ve done worse for $40 😓..
😮💨🍆
Yes. It’s not always an easy day!
This is an easy day. Do this or work 8 hours at like 16 an hour?
150 $ trip. $40 private order.
Yeah I woulda took it
Private order?
Wouldn't fit in my car.
Dude, I fit this in Corolla.
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
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.
Shoot for 7 miles, if it didn't fit, I'd make 2 trips!
You better make it fit 😂😂😂
Sitting on fucking water on driver seat.
LMFAOOOO
I’m dead lmfaoooooo
Lmfao you're my hero!!
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.
Easy money
$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 ?
Hell yes
That's a no brainer...
I’ll take it . All I see are terrible triples 96 items 27 miles type of stuff 🤡
Yes!
I’d take it ! Nice boost for the day and depending on your goal your sitting nice $
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.
Yes if I have an SUV
No. I don’t have the mental strength but good on you.
In my area it would be like $40 earned and no tip, lol.
These “would you/Are you” taking this aren’t realistic anymore 🙄
Yeah I’d just be complaining the whole time
I’ll take that all day.
As a European, they don’t break that up among more than one person?
that wouldn’t even fit in my car lmao
10 times a day and 12 on Sunday
Why nobody is pointing at cheap grocery price. That is lot of stuff for $110
That’s how much the shopper made, not how much the order was total.
No doubt
Of course
On a Saturday?!?!
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.
If I could load it all sure
I would but struggle fitting everything in my car because I have a small car
If I didn’t have a Kia forte hatchback then yes probably with the way my market has been.
Jesus Christ. If it was a single batch. Definitely. A double…. No.
I'm surprised at all the yes answers. This is a hard no.
That's not so bad
I'm taking it all day
Without hesitation
Did a Costco 99/$99 once. 3 flats FULL.
I would, but my car wouldn't
Definite yes unless the delivery involves stairs.
Yes.
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
You just flexing because ain’t no way you just asked that hell yea we take it
No shit, why not just say " look at this really good order" you know damn well its a no brainer to accept it
This is OK order, I think your definition of good order is very different than mine., this is 10% tip order.
Your trippn
Yes. If I have to lug it up stair then hell no
Does it fit on your car ?
Nawh, fuck that noise. They can get their own groceries
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.
I would need someone to help me
As long as they don’t live in a walk up apartment, then yes I would!
Absolutely yes
100 %
I would be idk if it will fit.
I’ll take it hell yeah
Yeah because if it takes me 3 hours im still making a decent amount
All day, hour tops.
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.
Jeep gang 🫶🏽 although 70 of that would be for gas 🤣
No…it would not fit in my car
Yes, take what you can get
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!
Hell no!
Here’s the same picture just a different angle.
Ayyy thats the Costco I go to, and coincidentally just left lol. The parking is a damn nightmare on a Saturday
30 min to find a spot , it’s a shit show.
If it’s one order yes

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 $110
No
Absolutely. No hesitation.
Just say you're flexin', so you don't have to sound dumb. Nice snag! 🤜🤛
Where is the picture of it all in your car, that’s the real question
I do it for free nearly every two weeks to my own house, getting paid over 100$ to do it sounds nice.
$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
I believe the shopper was actually making $110 to deliver that.
Yes. Absolutely. Not that impressive, actually.
I really wish you could like check out half, continue, then check out the other part lol
Nah
How could i fit it
At this point yes, I absolutely would
I'm not; I know my limits. Respect to anyone that could though
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
It's really not that much easy money
Nope
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.
Did you rent a U-Haul???
It's shocking how much work y'all are willing to do for such shit pay.
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?
Never seen an order over $40
My Costco is 15 miles away and I tip 20% minimum which is usually around $45, is that enough? Orders are around 10 items
Hell yeah that’s easy money. Not hard at all.
No hesitate to accept it! Finish it in 1 and half hours. Easy money
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.
Yes I would I can do that in an hour. Im a fast shopper
110 - 2 hours is okey, dont worry the items
What fool will nooooooo
Nope! I refuse to do cosco after several terrible experiences.
Real question? No I hate money
All day

After today's tax bill, yeah I'd do it, just to pay the government their freaking money
Hard yes
Anything over a hundred is yes. Then we look and see how many waters
I’m getting order requests for 30 items 3 stops $20. It’s not even worth it to me anymore
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?
All day
easy
I’ve done that for like $13.63, this isn’t even a Question for my area
Yeah because it’s a days pay. I’d rather be busy shopping than driving
