first time shopping for instacart in OVER A YEAR | how much money I made thanksgiving weekend

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

anyone else seeing a decline in orders and how much money you make when shopping for instacart? 😥

[@M.11-u4k]

Definitely

[@AleksandrKisslove]

Yes, unfortunately...what's your rating score?

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

my rating is a 4.93 right now

[@sandi6818]

It was weird bc it was a $13 order but it had 30 items but said $30 tip Couldn’t figure it out but I took it and got paid.

[@sandi6818]

I was responding to the…wow, someone’s in a giving mood comment that got deleted it appears. 😂

[@haythe-u3m]

Oh nooo that Aldi order was so trash. My motto is close to $1 per item (not unit) and I never take orders with more than like, 40 items.

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

right??? I was like who the heck is going to be willing to do that much work for that little? it was insane.

[@leadnsteel1428]

It used to be good money but not anymore. They keep lowering the pay and increasing the items

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

that’s what I noticed too!

[@rafaelsorianoalcala1]

You have a bottom behind you handwheel. What is that for?

[@donchepe3655]

I'm in Westchester NY, I'm making less money now, I was making $1k and more per week and now 600 to 800. Instacart keeps changing and adjusting their pay, I'm sure there's more shoppers, people buying their own & the unfair algorithm makes things worse. Good luck! Make mucho dinero.

its the same in Boston, all the batches are shit, I am not taking the bad ones, and not happy with instacart since the new CEO took over

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

totally understand this! especially since this is just for extra money for me-it’s not worth it

[@deoncross4506]

Them double orders is how they are getting away with paying slave wages. You did two orders for $17 so thats like $8 an order thats trash pay. Do you not have more worth and value in yourself ?

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

this is just side money for me and I get to pick and choose what I shop for, so it’s really not that big of a deal 🤣 all I had to do was grocery shop & drive, super easy work and takes no time at all, so $17 was good for me 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@M.11-u4k]

Deon, agree.

[@sandi6818]

Major decline in orders. I took a break because of my regular job for a few months. I did have one with a $30 tip Friday though.

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

that’s also why I took a break. but wow! that’s nice! I guess someone was in the giving mood lol

[@gregkareem9824]

Are u from Kentucky?

[@ciarrast.arnold611]

nope!

[@timboslice3294]
