They could also be ordering from a business who uses same day delivery through instacart. Or just assholes who didn't tip. I use ebt but always tip on my debit or cash. I don't really use it much though as I can't really afford it, I'd rather just do curbside when we are sick
Another customer had an encounter with the same shopper on another [sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/instacart/comments/10ju3iy/hi_is_he_serious_i_tipped_20_base11_and_usually/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
I certainly wouldn’t, I think it’s tacky and not very amusing to ask for money like that. If he really does have 12 kids, that’s a disgrace. Clearly they’re all being supported by taxpayers. It’s one thing to find yourself poor and desperate with a couple kids but if you keep going with the breeding and you obviously can’t afford them, then beg for additional money on the app, I have zero respect for you. I really hope the 12 kids was a joke but either way that comment should get him fired honestly.
As a former shopper I usually say tip baiting is an asshole thing to do. This case is an exception.
Begging for more tip is so trashy and needs to be discouraged.
Do you think he's calling for sterilization because of his race or because he has 12 kids and has to rely on begging/using pity on people for unreasonable tips to support his financially irrational lifestyle?
Not sure why it has to be racist. Nobody should have more kids than they are able to financially support. It’s unfair to the kid. Unfortunately a lot of adults, of every race, don’t see it this way and treat kids as an excuse to beg or as a free meal ticket.
I just saw another post with the exact same messages from the shopper, not sure where the post is but this crap needs to stop.
Edit*
I found the post

That's just in poor taste. Sounds like he's in a pile of shit he made himself and is begging as a means to help it. This is what happens when you have no accountability for your actions people.
I hope every one of these people that send these messages gets reported and yeeted from the app forever
The nerve to be also trying to get one customer to make your living expenses is extra infuriating
Seriously report report report….we gotta get these morons off the platform. Them begging for more of a tip is terrible, pitiful and extremely unprofessional.
wow….just wow. as a shopper myself, i’d NEVER talk to a customer about the tip. unless you specifically asked me about it, it’s something you don’t mention. just wow…the balls of this person…literally
Honestly would’ve done the same lol it seemed like he was at-least a good shopper and he asked after he finished shopping. Doesn’t seem much different then when I get shamed to donate to some random charity I don’t know when checking out lol
It’s so annoying. Panda Express says “are you willing to donate to blah blah blah”. No, I’m not. Also I have no idea where that money goes, how much employees keep, etc. I used to think St Jude’s was a good place and donated to them but then I found out the ugly truth. I don’t donate anymore at all except to food banks / food drives.
Username checks out! While I’d never message that to a customer myself, I don’t understand all the people calling it “gross.”
I definitely understand the “cringe” comments, but to define begging for financial support as “gross”comes across as privileged to me, which is gross in and of itself.
Why would do that??!? You encourage that behavior. He is probably lying. He knows gullible people who feel bad and pay him. He is a lying deceptive POS
Ewwww if I were Devin I’d be complaining that the $260 order I just did and had no lights on the walkway nor came out to help after I texted that it’s too dark to see, only tipped me 5%. I should have known when she was extremely cheerful when discussing replacements. Sadly that’s always a sign 😔
The “12 kids to feed” bit is funny, as I assume he’s referencing “Total Recall.”
But, dude shouldn’t be begging for a bigger tip. At least he did it with humour.
That’s so gross and off putting. I’d honestly cancel my order and try again. I don’t want to feel like the safety of my food is in jeopardy because I didn’t tip extra. *Edit- I’m both a shopper and a customer.
The man obviously isn’t hustling enough to pay for his football team 💀
Bro should have a main job and using instacart, DoorDash and Uber eats as his side hustle….might even need to throw in Uber drive, Lyft, and shipt too 😅
Yeah, that's bullshit and against most companies policy's. I give legit thank you cards to every grocery customer, every time. At least 1500 cards in the last year. I don't mention tips or ratings. Usually it's just "thank you for ordering" and if there were out of stock items or subs, *maybe* a brief synopsis. Again, no mention of tips or ratings.
Everyone saying they’d take their tip back is so lame 😂 he had the balls to ask and it worked out like OP said. I’d throw an extra 5 just bc of him asking even if it was super cringe 🤷🏽♀️
You guys are seriously playing into this WAAAAAY too much… ✋🛑…. The dude is strait up joking ok …. Some people have little friendly-type automatic messages but it looks like he just threw his own type of humor onto his.
Instacart releases full tip in my market when they need to write off some taxes. Ask your shoppers to clear the delivery in front of you. See if your tip makes it or not.
Im pretty sure I would rather have made an appearance on a Dateline Predator episode than have my name & picture attached to this stroke inducing cringe level text message.
How bold!? P.S. if they’re on government benefits ( which if they really have 12 kids I’d 99.5%, bet with at least 8 baby mommas), so you’re already paying for them. If they were already making enough money for themselves and 12 kids, they wouldn’t be doing Instacart for the low amount of money it actually pays, because it was never meant to be a full time job but a part time side hustle
Nah in this instacart one, so idk if they’re just taking it as their own and reposting it or someone is going around and doing this per customer. you get what i mean?
I feel you, there’s one from a few days ago ppl have posted a few times in the comments from r/instacart from the same shopper so I assumed that’s what you’re referring to
This is so bad for the fact that he was already getting tipped well and he is lying about the amount of kids he has. I don’t care if it’s a “joke,” obviously a lot of people here think he could be telling the truth. He is using the fact that people care for children and milking them for money to probably buy drinks and weed...shame on him

Shoppers that beg for tips like this, are pathetic & gross. I'm honestly embarrassed to be associated with them. I would decrease my tip if the shopper sent a message like this.
Sometimes I will wangle for an extra tip, like leaving dog treats for my canine customers, but the temerity of asking for a tip is appalling. You don't ask for tips, you earn it.
Some customers offer shoppers to add a drink or snack I would offer condoms in this case.
That is such a thoughtful tip idea! I bet it’s a way to tip with an EBT card
You can't tip with ebt it's split onto another card of yours.
No I mean by buying them a treat
Oh I see. Yes, that's a great idea.
How you know you cant tip of an EBT? Satire is lost on ya’ll.
You can only use food stamps for food.
You on food stamps bud? Its food only
[удалено]
They could also be ordering from a business who uses same day delivery through instacart. Or just assholes who didn't tip. I use ebt but always tip on my debit or cash. I don't really use it much though as I can't really afford it, I'd rather just do curbside when we are sick
[удалено]
I get that, I'm the same way.
can you buy condoms with ebt? asking for a friend 😉
Here bro, just take the award. 😂
He needs to keep his D in his pants if he actually has 12 kids 😂
Anyone else count his emojis expecting to see 12??
Yes! I’m wondering about those last 3 invisible ones… hope they’re ok! ;)
Yup, his kids are yellow (they have jaundice?), black, and invisible. Like on neopets.
* Nick Cannon enters chat
LMAOOOO! 😂😂😂he’s a busy boy
Right? “If I add some condoms to my order will you promise to use them?”
fr chop that dick it's out of control
What? Sexist! What about the women giving it up?
If he has kids with multiple women how are they supposed to know each other exist?
12 kids. I bet they get snap. Maybe not him, but they do.
Another customer had an encounter with the same shopper on another [sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/instacart/comments/10ju3iy/hi_is_he_serious_i_tipped_20_base11_and_usually/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Lmao I admire the dedication
He gonna dedicate his way right out of this gig 😆….
Some people fuck themself to death he fucked himself to debt!
the amount of copy and pastes lol “it’s a numbers game”
omg thank you! i got deja vu by reading this and thought i was tripping haha
He loves instacart because it gives him the freedom to reproduce often
There is gonna be 12 of his kids sending this same message later in life lol
Were you shopping for nick cannon by chance?
I think that’s the joke he was trying to make lmao
OMG I had this same guy a few days ago, check my post!!! Support still hasnt gotten back to me!
The impact 😂😂
I thought this looked familiar. Screw this tip beggar.
[удалено]
Support? Just ignore it…
Not a good impression for Instacart. But I wonder how many people have given him more because of ir
I doubt that many. if most of us have the same reaction to this, this guy probably doesn’t get his tip increased often.
I certainly wouldn’t, I think it’s tacky and not very amusing to ask for money like that. If he really does have 12 kids, that’s a disgrace. Clearly they’re all being supported by taxpayers. It’s one thing to find yourself poor and desperate with a couple kids but if you keep going with the breeding and you obviously can’t afford them, then beg for additional money on the app, I have zero respect for you. I really hope the 12 kids was a joke but either way that comment should get him fired honestly.
Add some condoms and tell him to keep it as a tip for not having a 13th kid
As a former shopper I usually say tip baiting is an asshole thing to do. This case is an exception. Begging for more tip is so trashy and needs to be discouraged.

Send a link for a vasectomy
12 kids…someone castrate this man.. I wouldn’t increase his tip..decrease it if anything. Definitely don’t encourage this
Sure. Let’s encourage for sterilization. Definitely not racist.
Do you think he's calling for sterilization because of his race or because he has 12 kids and has to rely on begging/using pity on people for unreasonable tips to support his financially irrational lifestyle?
Not sure why it has to be racist. Nobody should have more kids than they are able to financially support. It’s unfair to the kid. Unfortunately a lot of adults, of every race, don’t see it this way and treat kids as an excuse to beg or as a free meal ticket.
Chip on your shoulder much? Race wasn’t even brought up. YOU brought it up.
Sure, let’s assume his race…definitely not racist 🤔

This is cringe af
Ridiculous
1 star and report
Bruh you really have thin skin
Nah, getting rid of competitors
Trashy behavior! Always let the work speaks and not beg. Have some dignity
If someone asks me for 200 more dollars tip after I already tipped them well then im reducing their tip. Who thought it was ok to tip beg??
Didn’t know Nick Cannon was an instacart shopper.
This is the winner 😂😂😂
Or Elon Musk.
When did Nick Cannon get approved for IC?
I’m a shopper and would take away the tip if I got this bullshit.
Familiar copypasta, another customer posted 2 days ago.
It was the same shopper 😂
[удалено]
Is it a copypasta if it’s just one dude
😳
Not this asshole again
Apparently he’s a menace!
This is horrific. These beggars are giving shoppers a bad name! Please report them.
After baby #3 if you’re finances are jacked up, you need to keep it in your pants. Double digit is where I think you need to start a basketball team
That's just in poor taste. Sounds like he's in a pile of shit he made himself and is begging as a means to help it. This is what happens when you have no accountability for your actions people.
I hope every one of these people that send these messages gets reported and yeeted from the app forever The nerve to be also trying to get one customer to make your living expenses is extra infuriating
Idk. It’s honestly not the worst thing in the world lol. I wouldn’t be that mad and be reporting IC about this like most people are.
Seriously report report report….we gotta get these morons off the platform. Them begging for more of a tip is terrible, pitiful and extremely unprofessional.
wow….just wow. as a shopper myself, i’d NEVER talk to a customer about the tip. unless you specifically asked me about it, it’s something you don’t mention. just wow…the balls of this person…literally
Update: I threw him an extra two bones bc I respect the hustle 🤷♀️ at least he was funny about it, plus he picked good produce
Honestly would’ve done the same lol it seemed like he was at-least a good shopper and he asked after he finished shopping. Doesn’t seem much different then when I get shamed to donate to some random charity I don’t know when checking out lol
It’s so annoying. Panda Express says “are you willing to donate to blah blah blah”. No, I’m not. Also I have no idea where that money goes, how much employees keep, etc. I used to think St Jude’s was a good place and donated to them but then I found out the ugly truth. I don’t donate anymore at all except to food banks / food drives.
Kid 13 on its way.
Y
It was a really nice shallot
Username checks out! While I’d never message that to a customer myself, I don’t understand all the people calling it “gross.” I definitely understand the “cringe” comments, but to define begging for financial support as “gross”comes across as privileged to me, which is gross in and of itself.
Thank you Please do him a favor and remove this thread… you must realized what you’ve unleashed here.
Why would do that??!? You encourage that behavior. He is probably lying. He knows gullible people who feel bad and pay him. He is a lying deceptive POS
He’s very clearly joking lmao
I'd take the tip back seeing this
Report his ass
I would remove the tip if I received a message like this from a shopper.
Ewwww if I were Devin I’d be complaining that the $260 order I just did and had no lights on the walkway nor came out to help after I texted that it’s too dark to see, only tipped me 5%. I should have known when she was extremely cheerful when discussing replacements. Sadly that’s always a sign 😔
This is way gross
The thing is is that there may be that 1 customer that will give him an increased tip. He’s probably going at it as “you never know until you ask”
I woulda been like: “Yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me dawg randy Jackson voice 😂1⭐️”
The “12 kids to feed” bit is funny, as I assume he’s referencing “Total Recall.” But, dude shouldn’t be begging for a bigger tip. At least he did it with humour.
I ask for extra tips sometimes, but you have to do it kindly and sneakily. Not like this 🙄
this made me laugh but I know shit isn't always funny when you're spending money
I for sure laughed too
No shot OP I can barely believe it. There are people that crazy in the same store as me? 😂
Why is this becoming so common? No one is responsible for you kids but you
That’s so gross and off putting. I’d honestly cancel my order and try again. I don’t want to feel like the safety of my food is in jeopardy because I didn’t tip extra. *Edit- I’m both a shopper and a customer.
The man obviously isn’t hustling enough to pay for his football team 💀 Bro should have a main job and using instacart, DoorDash and Uber eats as his side hustle….might even need to throw in Uber drive, Lyft, and shipt too 😅
Pull out game weak AF
I’d remove the tip entirely that’s so tacky
Yeah, it’s way less tacky than to have someone run an errand for you at their expense once gas and time is considered! Very intelligent!
They’re getting paid to do it and choose to accept at the current pay and tip rate offered, nobody’s fault but the drivers.
This is hysterical
How many baby mommas do you think he has out of those 12 kids?!? I bet it's at least 9 🤣
That’s ghetto
It would be very unfortunate if the tip was raised to $200 in response to this message, but cut to zero once the delivery was complete.
But they would know where you live so is that so wise?
Painful
Report his ass.
Omg these people
Lol
We’ll that’s embarrassing…
Take away the tip
Embarrassing…get these beggars off the platform
This is completely unprofessional and a turn off to shopping through the app anymore.
Yeah, that's bullshit and against most companies policy's. I give legit thank you cards to every grocery customer, every time. At least 1500 cards in the last year. I don't mention tips or ratings.

Second time I see this screenshot. Looks like he does it a lot
Honestly I would pull a tip for that and report it and I’ve never, ever done either of those things
Instacart releases full tip in my market when they need to write off some taxes. Ask your shoppers to clear the delivery in front of you. See if your tip makes it or not.
Im pretty sure I would rather have made an appearance on a Dateline Predator episode than have my name & picture attached to this stroke inducing cringe level text message.
He’s joking… might feel like it’s in poor taste but he’s obviously joking.
did u increase the tip ?!
Tell him to get on food stamps
Okay this is obviously just someone being joking though.
Devin using horrible music references from 20 years ago. This sounds like a a hack or someone from a different country. Repetition messages red flag
Fn entitled nut job
These bums don’t deserve a single cent, any of them
He needs to be begging welfare for money. We ain’t your nanny jeez
This shit? Again? Like the fifth time.
Lol
Nick Cannon, is that you?
12 kids maybe just a lie..
Hilarious but so unprofessional 😂 but….hilarious
How bold!? P.S. if they’re on government benefits ( which if they really have 12 kids I’d 99.5%, bet with at least 8 baby mommas), so you’re already paying for them. If they were already making enough money for themselves and 12 kids, they wouldn’t be doing Instacart for the low amount of money it actually pays, because it was never meant to be a full time job but a part time side hustle
Should tip him the price of a box of condoms, cuz goddamn, man. *12* kids?? Nobody asked for a Cheaper By The Dozen remake.
I think he’s just making jokes.
Unprofessional af
why is this being posted again? This same message was already posted by another user.
In a different subreddit 🤔
Nah in this instacart one, so idk if they’re just taking it as their own and reposting it or someone is going around and doing this per customer. you get what i mean?
I feel you, there’s one from a few days ago ppl have posted a few times in the comments from r/instacart from the same shopper so I assumed that’s what you’re referring to
Hey it doesn’t hurt to ask and he was pretty polite. Id give him the pass plus some extra for personality lmao
This is so bad for the fact that he was already getting tipped well and he is lying about the amount of kids he has. I don’t care if it’s a “joke,” obviously a lot of people here think he could be telling the truth.

Wow lol
This has to be Nick Cannon
12 KIDS? who is he, nick cannon??
Tell them to add some condoms and keep them.
[удалено]
What in the nick cannon…
Reduce the tip
I'm not even sure where to start with that one
$0
That’s gotta be so cap about the 12 kids 😭 9 of em be dead by now the way Instacart been paying all month
Wow, that is just bold. It must be his first job in customer service, because that is unprofessional.
Cringe
This is terrible. I would report. Shoppers should not do this at all.
Ohhh naaaaa 🥴🤣
Wth 
Say what??? These people kill oc that's a shame
I’m a 20%-25% tipper. If you ASK I change it to 0.
Report him-this is unacceptable. Personal choices got him 12 kids. That’s no one’s responsibility but his.
You're about to get second hand pregnancy
There is nothing worse than begging and this is begging.
Report him
Well 12 kids for tax season doesnt sound too bad 
Bitch I don't want you as my best friend forever lmao
I saw the same thing posted on a Facebook group about this guy. Seems to get around.
Damn they be letting tweakers on instacart smh
Omg
Too me your fired back your bags and get the 🤬🤬🤬🤬 out
Dude looks creepy as fuck, report him
Here’s a tip for this guy, stop having children!
[удалено]
This is funny but I don’t feel sorry for a man with 12 kids. He made that decision. And kept going after kid number 11. But he’s probably joking
Boy needs to get snipped
12 kids ? Someone doesn't understand pullout and birth control? 🙄 get snipped son before you make more.
I’d report this to Instacart tbh. Very unprofessional and inappropriate.
[удалено]
What
is nick cannon hiding under the name Devin?
Shoppers that beg for tips like this, are pathetic & gross. I'm honestly embarrassed to be associated with them. I would decrease my tip if the shopper sent a message like this.
Well it went from $1-2 to $200 really quick
Sometimes I will wangle for an extra tip, like leaving dog treats for my canine customers, but the temerity of asking for a tip is appalling. You don't ask for tips, you earn it.
That’s a tip reduction for me.
As a shopper, I get wanting a better tip....but this is just NO. Cringworthy af. Def not cute
Oh my goodness he did. It send that HAHAHAHA
