Anyone else get this bonus?

Didnt get any email Or notice about this, I was doing UE daily from March till early July trying to pay off some medical bills while going through chemo, went back to my regular job the first week of July and it’s exhausting trying to do both so haven’t really been on UE. happened to open the app last night and saw the bonus there didnt believe it till I made 5 deliveries tonight and got the first $150 going to do the rest tomorrow, never seen a bonus this good has anyone else? I’m thinking it’s prolly to get me to come back to delivering and I would much rather do this than my regular job, if I didn’t need insurance due to this stupid Cancer, I be doing gig work without a doubt.

Curious about Costco shopping

So today I was doing a 3 shop order at Costco, everything was good and I went to go check out, I had my three orders separated and a worker asked me if I needed boxes? I said yes please that would be helpful, and then he comes around the register and says to me because this is an Instacart order with multiple orders he does not have to do anything other than put things back in the basket from the belt and he would put it in however he wanted. I was confused and asked what he was talking about? He said it isn’t his job to organize my orders. I asked him what his problem was? I didn’t ask for any special treatment however my orders were organized and I didn’t want everything just thrown in. He then told me he’s the warehouse manager and he told me this several times and that he wasn’t going to do my job for me and if I couldn’t deal with it, maybe I should find a real job. I then told him this is not my full-time job. I currently have cancer and I’m unable to work my regular job however I still have bills to pay and I organize everything on the belt. All I need is everything to be put back the way it came out. He then asked for my name so he could call Instacart corporate on me because I was being rude to him which again confused me because he was continually nitpicking at me. He ends up putting everything in my basket in boxes and putting things so they’re not in the same order, he had me flustered as well even the cashier was flustered and only ring up half of one of my orders as I started to walk away we realized the cashier didn’t ring up what was on the belt. I finally got everything paid for and as I was leaving, the manager says good luck with that and walks away. I get to my truck and that’s when I realized he just threw everything wherever he wanted so I’m standing there in hundred degree what Texas weather trying to re-organize everything I have frozen items I have dairy items, I am so confused at this point as to what has happened. The shop was going well. I was on time until he messed up my whole cart. Has anything like this happened to anybody else? I never ask for any special treatment, but I would think if I have multiple orders wouldn’t you put them together in the cart especially if I’m telling you where they went? He kept saying because I wasn’t just a customer that I was Instacart he didn’t have to do anything to make my life easier. It was very frustrating situation. I ended up just calling it a day after that I seriously needed the money but he seriously got to me and I’m still bothered. I tried to call Costco corporate and was directed to go to costco.com and leave some email that isn’t long enough for me to explain everything that happened.. I guess I just want to rant about this and see if anybody else experience this

Entitled people make me sick.

OK, so I accidentally took this order. I was taking a picture on my last drop off and of course Uber Eats throws this in as I’m trying to hit the camera button and I accidentally accepted it. It was thankfully only for 1.4 miles but it was for $4.04. Normally I don’t take anything under five dollars but I was like whatever it was a shop and deliver for 4 gallons of water and a box of tea. I get to the drop off and it’s a high-rise apartment building as you can see here it says meet at the front desk. There was no parking so I was double parked. I go to the front desk and they called the customer. I had also previously texted him that I was at the front desk. He did not respond. He did respond to the front desk and told them to tell me I had to bring it up there and don’t I dare leave it there, at that point I was feeling very uneasy and uncomfortable and I told the front desk I don’t have to do anything. So I left it there. I took a timestamp picture of it in case he tries to report me and I walked away. Would you have gone to the apartment if it says specifically meet at the front desk? Another reason I don’t do that is if something happens to me going to another location I don’t want Uber to tell me I’m not covered because I’m not in the right area when it specifically said meet at front desk. Of course they gave me a thumbs down which I could care less. I still have a 97% but it was a four dollar order. I’m not about to climb stairs with 4 gallons of water when you’re being nasty to me through the front desk person that’s just not worth it to me.
