Why TF do people order 30 massive balloons via instacart and it's always the most random fucking balloons ever. We had a guy pick up 35 huge foil balloons and he was like "do I have to inflate these? I have a scooter" and I was like "the app tells you they're to be inflated. Buuuuuut if you can't get them there safely that's up to you, brother" then we had a *cue tiktok sound* "and he looks back at me. And I look back at him. He looks back at me. And I look at hiiiiiim" moment he asked for a bag and then went on a rant 🤣🤣🤣

Like sir I don't blame you. I admire your moxy. I wouldnt have inflated them either. Fuck that. That shits abusive.

Like title says. Currently living with my mom in her 2br railroad but the pests and living situation is no longer sustainable. Ideally a 2br is preferred, will settle for a 1br + den. Its for a family of 3 plus a cat. Budget is pretty low (can't go above 2500) but husband is handy and can help fix things in the building/house if needed.

So like anyone else having issues with these newer items not ringing up on SCO and item numbers just not working?

​

It's been a pain my ass and I'm tired. Between the weird opening screen that makes everyone think they need a rewards number to shop and new items not being recognized by the system in ready to scream 😭😭😭

​

If I hear one more "I NeEd A lOgIn JuSt To ShOp" to where I need to gentle parent irate instacart shoppers I'm gonna tell everyone yes and make them sign up 😂😂😂

​

Send help and patience. I wasn't built for this Obi-Wan

Do y'all inform delivery humans that their balloon purchases are supposed to be inflated or do you just let them take the L and go on their merry way after they checkout?

Cause if you tell me no you don't need them inflated because the customer didn't reply, I'm not arguing 🤣🤣🤣

Went with a base modem because I needed a car after losing my old one in a bit and run. Always wanted a Subaru, and I was sick of owning Fords.

Got a 2024 Crosstrek base- I was wondering what upgrades I could do to it to make it feel like a Crosstrek? It's giving imposter without the roof racks lol

I would've gone with the premium but it was too out of my price range 😭

This isnt all of our shoppers but OMG the ones we had to say almost made me wanna quit my job.

If you're gonna crash out the moment you can't find something or balloons take too long. Screaming at us because you don't agree with our 2hr inflation window policy is not our fault. Stop verbally abusing people at the register because you have the emotional regulation of a flea. If you're in a state that requires reusable bags, please ask the front end associate BEFORE you check out as there is a fee for the bags, we're not allowed to give out free bags. We literally cannot hold your hand and find every item for you, front end associates cannot leave their stations and shrieking at them because you can't find a tube of glitter is absolutely not the way to have them help you. We're bare bones on staff right now and it's a corporate issue. We know. We hate that we have 2 people in our big ass stores as well. Give us some grace please. We can guy you to aisles but we can't stop what we're doing for every shopper that comes in and do the work for you. That's not how that works. Like come on, none of us get paid enough to be going back and forth over someone's weird balloon order. Patience is a virtue. Especially if you're coming in at a busy time. Saying that you're with Instacart doesn't override policy nor does it gain you special privileges like free bags because you forgot to ask for one.

A Michael's employee that almost walked out twice today because literally these shoppers don't know how to behave.

Has anyone had theirs yet? Im curious and scared at the same time lol

I've had a rough couple weeks so I feel behind on my work. I'm caught up but I find myself not being about to retain any of the information.

We got to the integumentary system which I knew most of the information about as I'm an Esthetician. But muscles? Nervous system?? Completely elude me.

How did you guys stay afloat without drowning 😭😭
