So this is kind of a weird full-circle moment.
I was doing an Instacart Costco batch and asked a manager for help locating an item. While we were walking to find it, another customer asked where something was, and I ended up helping them find it too. Apparently the manager noticed, because we started talking and they basically offered me an interview on the spot.

Here’s the catch: they told me if I got hired at Costco, I wouldn’t be allowed to continue shopping Costco batches through Instacart due to conflict-of-interest policy.

For context:
I’ve mostly been doing Costco batches exclusively
I do like the idea of stability/benefits
But I also know retail can be rough
The irony of getting recruited while actively Instacarting is not lost on me 😂

Anybody here made the jump from Instacart to Costco (or another retailer)?
Did it end up being worth it financially/mentally?
Would you take the interview?

Is it me or did Instacart just approve a bunch of new people all of a sudden? A lot of day one posts going up for the sake of just going up/not a lot of research on this sub being done for simple things? Noticing the same thing in practice in store when I talk to Costco employees who are doing a lot of extra legwork for new shoppers as well. I get it, we've all been there… But also we've all been there: use the sub as a resource before blindly posting that you got screwed over by a promo (I don't even get excited by those anymore as I genuinely stand to make more on my own) or a "chat, is this good?"

I don't know. maybe I'm just a jaded vet

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
