Pro tip for newbies

If you’re in a store (especially before noon) and can’t locate an item. Stop, take a deep breath, and do a wide scan of the store with your eyes. Look for a group of 2/3 70-80 year old women beside each other staring at the shelf like a monkey doing a math problem, a woman standing still trying to control the 4 kids she brought with her, or workers stocking shelves with 3 pallets blocking majority of the aisle. 99% of the time, the item you need will be right in the middle of one of those groups. 👍

Instacart is funny

It’s hilarious when a message pops on phone from Instacart saying “8.50 order from Costco, claim quickly” at 3pm on a Sunday. 🤣🤣 I’m not even considering a Costco order on sat or sun less than 75 dollars and even then it’s going to depend on the items and what they are.

😡people who give 4 ⭐️

These people that give you 4 stars should have molten lava poured down their throats!! Did 7 batches yesterday in the pouring rain (rained all day). Check my stats today and got 3 4 star ratings from yesterday 🤬🤬. These people are like insane parents that tell their kid “those 2 homer’s you hit in the game were good, but that triple you hit could have been another home run if you would’ve swung the bat a 1/2 inch lower”.

Spark.. is it living up to the hype?🤔

Started doing gig work 4 months ago. Keep hearing spark is the best. Finally get on after 3 month waiting list. 5 days since I’ve been on and seriously have not seen 1 semi decent order. (I live south of Indy in a nice area with 5 Walmarts within 5 miles of me).

Diamond status definitely has its benefits in Indianapolis market.

Finally hit diamond status around 10am 3 days ago. Usually I’d get started around 7/8 am and it would be 2/3pm before I’d break 100$. (Lots of 2/3 batch offers from 15-25 dollars). Now I’m seeing 40-55 dollars 2 batch offers frequently. I’ve broke 200$ by noon past 2 days. I’m sure it’s not the same everywhere, but it definitely makes a difference here.
