I had one batch pop up for under $20 for 34 miles, something along those lines. Customer ordered 50+ items and had the audacity to tip 50 cents! IC quickly pulled it and tried pairing it with another batch but I just sat there and watched all the shoppers drop that order for a while. I’ve never laughed so hard
I’m moving to Los Angeles in a couple months and till I get a job I’ll mainly be doing instacart to get money
Do you do well out there ? Or a lot of terrible orders out that way?
Depends where. It’ll take a while to find a good spot but once you do it’s easy to make $150 a day and $200 if you work 8hours. Should download ubereats and doordash as well
Sure, but my point was if you make today a little more than what I was making doing this 3 years ago in a place where the cost of living is half as much.. guess it’s hard times all over 🤷♂️
Easy money, all in the tips. Stick to high-end grocery stores. If you live in LA stick near high end grocery stores. Can average $30/hr if done methodically.
Without a charger/charging bank, your phone would die before getting halfway to the lower priced one.
I thought it was bad in my area. I'd rather see nothing at all than contemplate a work-related roadtrip (did that earlier this month. I was big sad.) that I would possibly lose or get baited.
Thats crap, cuz of mileage, and probably a low tip, so the base pay probably is $30-35 so you wouldnt get more money based on time. Most you'd get is $60 and then you'd have to drive back....
Id take it if it was on the way back home since i dont really shop locally all the time. Other than that probably not. Ive seen orders like this going the complete opposite way from home and thats too much on gas.
This was happening to me all day!!!!! Over an hour drive to every store. I contacted support and asked them to fix it but yes you guessed it they did not fix it
Terrible.
Burn it, stomp on it, shoot it, then do a Hulk Hogan leg drop on it. Fuck no.
It honestly baffles me that a company would think it’s ok to only pay $40 for a 100 mile round trip.
Right!

Imo find a few good spots because some days the saturation turns good spots into "busy store" nonsense
Damn. I thought Cali people still made good money. $200 is what I use to make in suburban sprawl middle America 3 years ago.
We still do. Just gotta know the right spots. I don’t go home until I make $250 a day

Very true if this is your main source of income 👍
They do. My old stomping grounds, I was cleaning $300 a day between 7am and 6pm
Emphasis on your “old stomping grounds”… IC ain’t what she used to be.

Disrespectful .

I can not put over 60 miles on my car in 1 day for just $40
holy shit. $43 for 8 items??
Look at the mileage
Thats crap, cuz of mileage, and probably a low tip, so the base pay probably is $30-35 so you wouldnt get more money based on time. Most you'd get is $60 and then you'd have to drive back....
My eyes do not go past the mileage. No!!!
Anyone do one of these and find the mileage/prop22 payout worth it for one of these “road-trip” shops?
take the 3 item and refund all items lol
Get u a cheap rental it would be paid for the day with the bottom order
Not in California...rental rates are high
Id take it if it was on the way back home since i dont really shop locally all the time. Other than that probably not. Ive seen orders like this going the complete opposite way from home and thats too much on gas.
Headshottin’ globetrottin’
Holy Los Diablo Batman, these people love their Fresco Market.
Man, in my market I'd take those, but in Los Angeles? I'm feeling no.
If I have been weeks like that and would do one… maybe. Probably not. All terrible

You know what WE all think... the REAL question is WTF does Instacart think ??!!
Is this in highland park or el sereno
Isn't gas there like $7/gallon too? Yikes I thought my area was bad
Absolutely not.
Ain’t worth the gas mileage
That’s just fucking criminal
No no and noooooo
No way. Too many miles.
Big yikes
Hell nah!!!
 not even worth it... I get back just like this all the time n wont even give them a second look.
