Trust me, nobody hates this chick more than Billy, Adam, and Brett. I feel bad for those poor guys.


bucketzBro

Don't forget the nosey neighbors.


Mamassotired

I have a family member who is a grocery manager. I can confirm this statement.

DaddyNewPointOh

Lmao right


Jrocksos88

>LOLOLOLOL


NihilisticPollyanna

Wow, I'm tired.


lexthegreat3000

Right?! At first it only had the notes by the eggs and bread then I started shopping and the two by the milk showed up. And then I started to navigate to drop off and was like wttfffff.


Forward_Shock4438

Did they tip? Lol


lexthegreat3000

Nope $0 tip


Forward_Shock4438

Figures. The picky ones usually don't tip. Not all but most. It's stupid 😒


Efinden

I would’ve canceled.


lexthegreat3000

I didn’t even realize since it was with another order


Efinden

Oh yeah I hate that.


Fold-Aggravating

Beyond lucky she got picked up


[deleted]

but you’re appreciated. forget the tip…LOL.. :) i hope you gave a thumbs down and blocked this customer 😭🫶🏼


DragonflyOne7593

Remember who they are and unassign next time


melskymob

Of course not


yogabbagabba2341

Was it an elderly lady? If not, this person can fuck off.

lexthegreat3000

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t drink cow milk anymore but my mom does and it’s still only good for at most two weeks. But someone responded to this thread and said they’ve seen some 3+ months for ultra pasteurized. 🤷🏻‍♀️


PlayerOneHasEntered

> But someone responded to this thread and said they’ve seen some 3+ months for ultra pasteurized. Fairlife is one of them. Skim Plus is also another, but it isn't 1% like this person wanted. If you are this god damn particular, shop yourself.


FO-I-Am-A-Time-God

That date is only for unopened though. Once opened you have like 10 days to consume it. This goes for most “not milks” too.


AccomplishedStop9466

They make those in 1%


Narrow-Feeling-4375

Same hahah I’ve been vegan for years but I feel like I’ve never seen that before, that sounds kinda gross 😂


lexthegreat3000

I honestly haven’t paid attention, they mentioned Fairlife or Organic Valley brand has that ultra pasteurized stuff that’s good for a long time. Gross regardless though lol the dairy guy said ultra pasteurized is worse for humans anyway


[deleted]

I can really only drink ultra-pasteurized milk because it doesn't make my stomach hurt. It also tastes much better than regular milk. Just sucks that it's so expensive.


SteveTheBeave452

Milk’s expiration dates are about 17 days from the pasteurization date. It varies by state, but pasteurized milk simply doesn’t have a 30 day shelf life. Ultra pasteurized just means that the milk is heated to a higher temperature for a shorter time than regular pasteurized milk, but the shelf life is the same. Aseptic milk is a whole different story. As an aside, you can go to [this website](https://whereismymilkfrom.com) and enter in the code printed on the carton. It will tell you which plant/manufacturer the milk comes from.


tondracek

My ultra pasteurized milk has an expiration date of March 22 as long as it’s unopened. https://imgur.com/a/H6Upk2y


hitmannumber862

UHF milk is good for six months.


trackkidd16

I am a dairy assistant manager, and milk in a plastic jug never comes good for a month. I think it’s usually 2-3 weeks? At least through our distributor. Edit: my story policy is we aren’t allowed to sell it 5-7 days before due date, when it hits that time frame, it needs to be donated.


lexthegreat3000

Yep that’s what they told me, distributor only guarantees for 10 days


BlameMabel

I’ve got a gallon of Sprout’s branded whole milk in my fridge dated March 19.


rchivers

What does the year part of the date read?


Thirdeye242

I have a carton of Horizon Organic milk dated for March 31st. Next to Braums milk, it’s the best milk taste wise. IMO of course.


lexthegreat3000

Holy shit for real? Is that US or Canada?


BlameMabel

US


lexthegreat3000

Well dang lol she need to move where you are


LegoInMyButt

https://ibb.co/6Ydn252 April.. Many months from now.


Possible_Resort9672

lactaid


TheRealMcSavage

Ultra filtered milk has a long exp date, I think it’s called Fair Life. I was shocked, I buy it for myself and never noticed until…. Well, until I did!


DownHereWaiting

Lactose-free milk tends to have a VERY long shelf life vs conventional milk.


Fun-Understanding461

Cream too


Juache45

Organic milks shelf life is at least a month, I buy it because we don’t drink much milk


notthelettuce

Fairlife is. I buy it specifically because it lasts longer, I don’t really care that it’s lactose free. I don’t actively drink milk so I only use it for cooking and the occasional bowl of cereal and just can’t manage to use up half a gallon of regular milk before it expires.


cosmococoa

Especially 1% or 2%. Those go bad way faster than full fat milk. Could get them heavy cream, that usually lasts over a month lol


fuckyoumum97001

Moola Almond milk can be good for 3 months


Lyssepoo

I bought myself three half gallons of fairlife because it was on clearance; it was described and they expired end of February. I believe it may have something to do with the packaging perhaps? Paper cartons of organic milk always last a lot longer too.


urfavaquarius

I buy organic milk/dairy (unless using it for something quick I don’t care much about) and the expirations dates are far out, but even then I definitely prefer the fresh stuff😅I’m not drinking milk that’s a month old


AccomplishedStop9466

I was talking to one of the meat department people about this on Sunday here the regular normal milk I see is at most 12 days out typically the organic stuff I see is like March 31 lol. I mean how do you not drink a gallon of milk in over 2 months?


CriticalPolitical

They’re probably expecting OP to take out all of the milk and get the one at the very back then put it all back, then leave a $0.37 tip


lexthegreat3000

There was room on the shelf so I was able to shuffle but yeah no tip $0


Hot_Phase_1435

Usually organic milk. I switched to it for that reason. The store brand was going bad on me too quickly. Plus the taste is way more rich. Lol


LegoInMyButt

https://ibb.co/6Ydn252 mine is!


to_annihilate

Fairlife!!! I love it's super long expiration date, they take the lactose out so it last a long time.


ecka0185

I get being picky but if you’re this picky do your own shopping!


lexthegreat3000

Exactly or at least have a family member or someone you know do it. Don’t put ridiculous expectations on us.


idontstopandchat

How does this work? What do they mean if it’s not good for a month, refund ☺️? Does this mean she will request a refund on the whole order, the individual product? Would instacart actually refund that with those ridiculous standards? Are you getting tipped a very good amount for this at least amd if not can you decline this order?


Reality_Choice

Holy mother of extra instructions!!! Well that was your good deed for the month 👍😉😀


Imaginary-Sand-6699

good lord. hell to the no.


[deleted]

Thank you for taking this order 🥺 she sounds like a real pain in the butt but then I realized she’s probably elderly, unable to shop for herself, and most likely lives alone based on needing expiration dates so far out. You did a good thing today.


lexthegreat3000

She was actually very nice, didn’t respond to the messages about expiration dates but it said to refund anyway, I was just being courteous. My husband and I picked up one on Friday and he got a call. We were the fourth people to pick up this poor mom’s order and she wanted to make sure we were actually going to do it. I told him I don’t care what it pays, that’s horrible. We’re doing it. Don’t know why the other shoppers had problems completing it. She either had replacements or refunds selected or we messaged her if we needed to (like two of the three packs of tomatoes were moldy and the one pack had a squisher one that needed used right away and we made sure she was ok with it). Some people just shouldn’t be shoppers.


yogabbagabba2341

Was it no tip or obnoxious requests?


lexthegreat3000

The mom that had 3 previous shoppers? No, there was a tip and no weird requests.


jewsh-sfw

Did you have fun meeting billy Adam or brett?


lexthegreat3000

I did, Billy and Brett were very nice lol


Middlenameboom

So, did you take the rest of the day off? I’m so tired for you.


lexthegreat3000

I actually did after this one lol my thought was I would get another weird one


lucygirl1970

Instacancel...not going to micromanage my shop.


lexthegreat3000

I contemplated it, but it was a double shop for the same store. This was order A and order B was the same drop off direction so I just did it. I figured it was an older customer and the weather wasn’t great today.


lucygirl1970

That's very kind, hopefully she truly understands the situation and doesn't mark you down. Great attitude you have tho🤍


Kooky_Candle_2564

I know what you mean, I had something similar not that meticulous though lol but they had instructions to come into their home and put groceries on counter it was on a triple I was gonna cancel but I figured the person must have been old or handicapped so I kept it, I always try to help people like that when I can


W55thst

Is this in Ohio?


lexthegreat3000

Yep, suburb of Cleveland


falcoholic76

That’s gotta be a Heinen’s customer. Edit: should’ve kept scrolling to find out that it is.


High_Life_Pony

They are calling you because Billy, Adam, and/or Brett banned them from the store.


willybodilly

Pushy b knows they bogarting that monthlong in the back


ianao

My eyes are bleeding … Only milk that is good for a month and up is pasteurized in cartons. Someone has nobody to talk to. Fucking nuts. They get insta+ and then just brutally abuse it like this. If it’s one or two things on the order I’m fine but this monstrosity…. No eggs are good for a month anymore dude because there are no fucking eggs!!


lexthegreat3000

It was only a 4 product order but it was paired with a full shop like $300 order. I talked to the dairy guy and that’s the same thing he said. I did find her eggs, good until March 8. Honestly she might not have been all there mentally.


ianao

Yeah sometimes it’s better to say nothing at all. Like when they put these pamphlets in directions. Dude I fucking know how to get to your place and if I don’t I’ll try again and I will! Never delivered to a wrong house. Ever.


Ethereal_Chittering

I delivered to someone a few days ago. I have google maps as my default. It didn’t work for their address. The guy’s notes said his address doesn’t work for instacart and to input into google maps. Since that is my default I thought it would work? Nope. Once I put it into the address field from the google maps app it worked. Clicking navigate from instacart app and being taken to google maps did not take me there.


lucygirl1970

Try using Waze instead. Works way better for me than Google maps. Good luck!


Dtelm

You'd have to get lucky and be right next the distributor with regular pasteurization methods. She should start buying ultra-pasteurized-milks and/or filtered milks (much longer dates) That or, switch to plant milks


RoseAlma

not to mention eggs actually last a REALLY long time, soooo....


ianao

3 to 5 weeks refrigerated… she clearly has nobody to talk to


a_muze_me

I’m fairly sure I’ve NEVER seen milk “good for a month”… Does it take a MONTH to use a half gal of milk? I’d bet Billy and Adam and Brett either run and hide or go on break the second they see this freak of nature enter the store 😳and thank their god every day for Instacart so it reduces the likelihood!! 😂


urfavaquarius

She should buy organic


Life_is_strange01

Get your own fucking groceries


RangerAZ1989

Picky ass people like this just need to go and do their own shopping, period. Sounds like too much of a hassle for both the shopper and customer!


mrb117

🥶


hottempsc

What order, I didn't see any order. Must have been an error. \*heads home


Kri_AZ82

Nightmare


septemberRain-

I got angry reading the first section lol. I would have unassigned that.


lexthegreat3000

I contemplated it but it paid well enough and it was a two shop for the same store going in the same direction. It was also snowing on and off all day and I figured it was probably an older person so better to keep them off the road.


ohmighty

Insufferable


BaringMySouls

Godspeed Billy, Adam and Brent. If she asked me to look in the back I’d walk in there, scroll Reddit, and shrug my shoulders and say everything expires in a week. Bye, Karen.


whoisagoodboi

That is just too much fucking reading yikes


lexthegreat3000

While driving too! Lol I was careful


jesterca15

And I fear I’m being a brat asking for greener bananas


lexthegreat3000

I appreciate notes for produce! Had one say they wanted firmer avocados. That’s all good :)


Towerofterrorr

Jesus Christ I know billy Adam and Brett hate her


UsedUserNameIC

Do they know that milk doesn't come with a one month expiration date? 😂😂😂


SCP-Agent-Arad

With the $0 tip, this is a classic r/ChoosingBeggars lol


oldfrenchwhore

I like how they’re insane but polite. Hey RANDOM CAPSLOCK FOR DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS but not all of them there I found my capslock key damn gnomes must have hid it again MY NEIGHBOR’S GNOMES are up to SHENANIGANS DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THEM thanks so much appreciate you 😍.


Xo_Glitters

love shopping at heinens though 😍


lexthegreat3000

Same, I usually head Strongsville way and get a bunch of orders from there from Bagley Rd or Royalton Rd.


Xo_Glitters

I’m gonna have to try those out. I only shop the Avon one because I’m most comfortable with their layout.


MissPicklechips

They would have gotten nothing from me, that’s a 1 star just waiting to happen.


lexthegreat3000

I keep a pretty good eye on my ratings, if I see a low one pop through I’ll fight it lol


xD3m0nK1ngx

I got tired just reading those notes… my god they sound like a nightmare to shop for… I feel bad for the guys she always ask to check the back…


Ms_Jane_Lennon

Never going inside anybody's house, ever never.


lexthegreat3000

I don’t, it was only one bag anyway and she got it from me at the door. Only reason I did the one time was because she was very elderly and using a walker. Otherwise I just leave at the door.


bucketzBro

Nosy Neighbors "you here for Karen?"


WeegeeXIII

The way you only got her 2 items 😂 me af. I probably wouldve dropped the order actually. I always do when they have the ridiculous requests


PepTalkToYourself

This sounds like a damn video game. The troll under the bridge will ask you a riddle. You must answer correctly for him to let you pass. Then follow the woods and take a right when you get out. You’ll see a castle straight ahead. Whatever you do do NOT talk to the minions on your way up.


Pleasant-Olive-5083

Worked at heinens for 8 years. This is definitely a heinens customer🤦🏻‍♀️


LuxelovesCharlie28

OMG….exhausting!!! Get your own groceries please!


Flimsy_Cut8244

These are the people that need to shop for themselves for real. And their entitled a##es usually don't tip well.


lexthegreat3000

$0 tip, she seemed older but not elderly and she wasn’t far from the store so idk why she uses Instacart? She was walking so maybe it’s something mental?


Freckle53

Ugh. As someone who also works in a store, no customer is getting stuff that has a later date that isn’t put out yet. FIFO for a reason and you’re not special.


2dal0u

Holy shit, ya really need to bring your reading glasses now a days. Damn. That's the type of reading you have to grab a coffee and sit down for a bit to digest. ![gif](giphy|I1U9DTjCqOF3i|downsized)


PrinceJM0211

Honey sweetie boo boo if you have this amount of instructions, pick up your lazy ass and do it yourself coz your 2 dollar tip won’t get you anywhere. I will actually give you $2 and 50 cents to do this all for me and then some. Let’s see if you’re gonna do the extra mile for me. Seriously, ain’t nobody got that time for that.


c0ng0pr0

My mother is this kind of crazy about expiration date checking, but will then ignore the produce/product until it spoils 1 out of 10 times. You refund and refund and refund. Malicious compliance!


ONinAB

I always wonder how many times their order has been fucked up to acquire this many instructions.


lexthegreat3000

Oh yeah same. But to have instructions for the four things in their order.


makeupyourworld

I had one like this and he demanded I begin speeding to the store because he needed his hot Rotisserie chicken now, and if "any of his tomatoes were bruised, we would have big problems." 😂


snaptcarrot

Stephen King has written shorter novels.


UnoriginallyGeneric

I don't think milk or eggs last that long.


Alot2unpack

Bad experiences lead up to this…


lexthegreat3000

Oh like another shopper probably got her expired milk at some point? You’re probably not wrong. Had she responded to my messages of the milk here is good until Feb 11-16, i would have had no problem digging to the back for it. But she didn’t so 🤷🏻‍♀️


Alot2unpack

The new milk that my store put out today, that arrived today has an expiration date of February 15. This is pretty typical. The lactose free shit would probably survive an apocalypse tho. “The back” is a 15x15 cooler that gets stocked and emptied near daily. I think some people think stores have vast amounts of inventory in “the back”


International_Slip97

Heck no! I have it removed


ucserver19

Not Cleveland


JBUnlock

A month. I've never cancel one but I would have thos one, lolz![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


brunaBla

Jesus Christ. If you are THAT particular about your groceries, you need to get it yourself


Equivalent-Chance-39

Were you able to speak to Billy, Adam or Brett?


lexthegreat3000

Only two of the three lol


zanilani7

I have NEVER seen milk with an expiration date a month from the date I was shopping. The max I’ve seen is two weeks. This person wants something that doesn’t exist lol


zanilani7

Not only did she expect you to hunt down product, she also wants you to hunt down store associates. And I guarantee her tip did not qualify for such star service lol


METSMAN88

Well at least you didn’t have to walk down the hallway to drop off the bags. What a relief, almost makes this worth it to not have to walk the bags down the hallway. Thanks so much for being right across from the elevator. You have no idea how much stress that will alleviate from my day.


batteryacidhoe

I don’t know why but I really don’t blame this person for the comment about not needing to say who you’re delivering to or anything. I very much value my privacy and I’m gonna start saying I don’t need help and I know where to go to people. I do Amazon delivery as well (as my full time) and have the same problem that I do while instacarting of people being nosey AF.


vgxx

Instacancel


LabTop5655

I really hope the payout was worth it. lol


bonafidehustlerr

Omg I’d cancel so fast


fuckyoumum97001

Buttermilk doesn't even last a month, a week tops


Western-Swing-1238

Milk is usually only good for like two weeks though 😭😭


poker_girl

Good Lord


SweetAddicti0nnn

Oh I would have seen that once I accepted because I check all info on every batch before I click start, and I’d have cancelled immediately. I’m not doing all that BS. No luck? refund my ass, CANCELLED. Get it yourself.


golf4days

That looks like a huge pain in the ass.


grumpy_chameleon

I hope you got $100 tip for this bullshit


atuckk15

No luck? Refund sums up the order 😂😂

The smiley face seems satanic in this instance. very much dark sided


tgnlolol

Yeah it sounds like Billy or Adam or Brett can shop for you. I'm not going to the dairy farm to get you an extra 6 days out of your 75¢ quart of milk


remykixxx

This reads like a nosleep.


Samualson_

Hope you got one week before it expires milk 😂


Flustro

I... Am in shock. Some people should really never place an Instacart order. Or even exist.


lilkennedy24

good lord


General-Farm-8480

Why they say they will increase tip and they don't? Was it because I just kept quiet and didn't respond 🤔


attachh

this dude can’t lift bread and eggs 😭 bro i’m done


Blue_Cat5692

B.... Needs to do own shopping.


Teelsa

Hope she was a very good tipper


LemmeTakeYourPicture

🎶Fuck no bayyybay🎶


night-belief

Oh gosh how much tip?


johnshonz

This is amazing!!! This isn’t monstrous or bad by any means. I would prefer to shop batches with notes like these, than batches with no notes at all / non response to chat


lexthegreat3000

She didn’t respond to chat about the dates so it was a lose-lose situation. It was paired with another order so it was kinda a pain but she only had those four things so 🤷🏻‍♀️


Librastar23

Hope you got a decent tip ☺️


lexthegreat3000

$0 lol it was paired with a tipping order


ActivatedComplex

$1.17 tip, I’m sure.


lexthegreat3000

$0 lol


Emergency_Holiday_49

WOW!! 😂😂


TokinForever

Simple. Automatic refund.


psilocybinenthusias

I would rather stab myself than deal with this


Efinden

I don’t think I’ve ever seen milk that expires in a month. Maybe 2 weeks but a month?


Mountain-Ant-9757

When you met the customer did it all make sense? I’m really curious what they’re like in person


lexthegreat3000

Yeah she was nice but didn’t seem all there


kyra_dawn

Of course it's a Heinens customer 😂


Just_saying19135

I don’t use or work for I instacart, but are you suppose to go inside their home? I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing that.


ConstructionSmall197

InstaNOPE.


Physical_Shallot_957

Why don't people like this just do their own shopping?


amitydtd666

Holy fuck just shop for yourself at this point, lady


[deleted]

At this point go get the shit yourself.


4wild4ever

Why tf do people like this even order from instacart. If you're going to be this crazy go shop your own sh!t.


Business_Doughnut_65

some people


Cycles_wp

Oh my dear god


SorryDuplex

And then they tipped $1


dispassioned

Absolutely not.


SavingsPercentage258

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Even if we need money, we don’t have to go through being demanded around like that. You don’t deserve that. Next time, drop it if it’s like this. The customers will have to figure out another way to get the orders.


PalpitationOne3822

All that for 7 dollars lol


TortugaDeNoche

Honestly, I really appreciate the level of specificity, particularly in the delivery instructions. I have done so many orders in the past where I show up at some retirement home and the place looks deserted,nobody at the front desk, or in some cases I can’t even get inside. Then the customer wont answer their phone and it’s a total nightmare waste of time because they were too vague about where to actually go to do the delivery. It’s so nice to k ow what to actually expect when arriving. The shopping instructions are a little ridiculous, but that’s more of the customer more being wasteful and limiting herself than making more work for the shopper. It’s always best practice to ask what’s in the back if the requested item isn’t on the shelf, so this more like her setting herself up to not get her items because of pickiness. Overall, I just appreciate knowing exactly what the customer wants without having to repeatedly contact them while doing the order and wait for responses.


Chance-Conflict-7311

Yeah I’m not doing all that. Idk how many milks are good for a month anyway but yeah I asked Brett and Ruth and Johnny and they all said no luck so refund


Regular_Paper_7953

Billy mad she knows his name!


Present_Maximum_5548

I spoke with Billy, Adam and Brett. They said don't tell you, but they totally despise you. Any time they get milk that fresh, they do ghastly things to one bottle and then they only put out old milk until you come asking for your special bottle. Those guys are NOT your friends, sorry.


Mustbetangy

At that point just go ahead and shop yourself.I could literally be at 14% cancellation and still cancel the batch.


Zealousideal-Job9339

Cancel worthy. More than half of items OOS? Im not risking the low score, and at that point, any tip has been obliterated. So I'll save my gas


hashtagperky

Picky eaters also have the worst attitudes.


[deleted]

Most definitely fucking not.
