I tried Instacart (United States). It tells you exactly what you will get paid before you accept an order. If the tip was more you will see it. Basically if you order Tylenol and 5 other items it will say the Store Name, 6 items, Total payout. (And distance) When you arrive at the store you get a list of the items, and the isle number/shelf if it is available. You scan each item into the app for it to be accepted, if the item is not the same code, it will make you send a message or alternate possibility to the orderer. And they approve/deny.

Long story short. You 100% know what you are getting paid before starting so if 1 order for 6 items says you make 20 dollars, and another says you make 6 dollars. The 20 dollar order will be accepted first.

All this and these motherfuckers still can't find basic shit in the store? Instacart is the most expensive and least efficient company I have ever used for product delivery.

They fucking suck to work for too. The shoppers probably don't bother to look very hard because of the insane time limits they expect you to meet, just to have you sit in a parking lot for another hour waiting for orders in a supposed "hot spot" at Kroger that regardless is gonna have you drive across town to a fucking nino salvaggio or something you didn't even know existed in that location.

That's probably it. Still, I can't justify the insane markups when stores have their own services for pickup/delivery now without them. They rarely get things wrong, and with current food prices, that markup is unjustifiable.

[-] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Yep, that is absolutely fair. The whole service is a scam on every end, no matter how you interact with them.
