I recently started playing competitive pinball- yes, it's a thing- and wanted to supplement the business I've been running since 2014 as it provides a living, but does not allow for purchasing an extravagance like a $6,000, new-in-box Deadpool with a shaker motor to practice on at home. So, I started driving Instacart to supplement my business, which is slow this time of year, and just finished up my first month. Here are my impressions, tips, etc.- feel free to ask questions below or to correct me or add to this if you've been doing it longer. I decided to do this only after we had a 2015 Ford Focus with 92 thousand miles on it basically get gifted to us for the princely sum of 2 years' worth of payments at $180 a month to the original owner who moved out of state and was upside down on her loan. I would not recommend doing Insta in a good/nice/gas guzzling car because you will be putting a lot of wear and tear on the brakes and tires and spending a lot on fuel- which at least here in CA- is expensive (over 4 bucks now, everywhere but Arco). You’re also subjecting your car to an above- average amount of parking lot dings and will be running the A/C nearly constantly. I've seen people doing Insta in a Suburban but it doesn't make sense to me, you need something small and gas efficient. I get about 27 miles to the gallon in my little car, about 23 when I drive for Insta. I put nearly 5k miles on the car last month doing Insta in and around Orange County, CA. First off, there are two ways to do Insta, as referred to in the thread title- you can pick up 'batches' just by turning on the app and looking at orders, or you can pick up Hours, which lock you in to a specific time frame that you're willing to take and deliver orders. Doing batches is how everyone thinks Insta is before they do it- 'I'll just do it for an hour on the way home and make forty or fifty bucks!'- that's not how it works, though. When you're out 'batching', unless you know the area really well, it's easy to take one delivery in one place and then drive 20 miles to get the next one. When you're on Hours, the algorithm makes it a point to try to limit the time you have between orders since when you are driving without groceries in the car you aren't making any money. Picking up hours comes with the expectation that you will work the hours you said you'd work- if you cancel them within 6 hours of your shift you'll get a 'reliability incident'. 5 of those, and Insta will only allow you to pick up hours the day before a shift, whereas as it is now I can pick up hours more than a week out. Sunday and Monday are the busiest days by far. It takes, on average, about 55 minutes to run a batch. This is an average of everything from a 600 dollar, 2 hour order at Smart and Final, to a 1 item stop at Total Wine and More. DO NOT TRY TO GO FAST. You will get flustered, you will end up making twenty redundant trips back and forth through the store, you will get frustrated and angry at all the olds meandering around- you just have to sort of go with the flow, especially at 2 PM on a Sunday Costco run. The app attempts to give you the fastest route through the store but it’s almost always wrong- except at Ralph’s- and recommends dumb poo poo like getting all the produce first. Your first few orders, you are going to struggle and it’s going to suck and you’re going to ask yourself why you are doing this. See, grocery shopping for a lot of people is kind of fun- you enter the store and languidly stroll through the brightly colored aisles, dropping whatever tickles your fancy in to the cart. It’s very, very different when you are essentially doing an automaton’s job. You have to scan a barcode for every item on the list, you have to enter weights for meat and produce- it’s not what you’re thinking of when you think of grocery shopping. The third time you scan an incorrect barcode because they wanted Super Premium Lactose Free with Added B12, not Super Premium Lactose Free with Added B14 it’s gonna piss you off and you’re gonna notice that you’re tired and sore and hey, this sorta sucks. I know it sounds trivial but limit how many times you reach for and scan things. Don’t pick something up off the shelf if you’re not sure it’s the right item- sure, once is no big deal but if you do 12 orders in a day at an average of twenty items all that extra motion is going to add up. The job is hard on your wrists and arms, too, I had horrible spasms in my left forearm for days after I started, from steering the cart with one arm and holding the phone in the other. I’m not just complaining, the job hurts. You’ve seen those guys on Deadliest Catch that get Crab Hand? Well, Grocery Hand is a real thing too. I haven’t driven since Monday and my hands hurt like a bitch as I type this. Now, what I’m sure everyone wants to know- how does it pay? I kept a spreadsheet because I’m a dork like that. Here are the results- bear in mind that I worked like a maniac- 7 hours a day on average for 26 days last month- because I want this to be over with and to get my drat pinball. Everyone asks ‘will you keep doing this after you get your pinball?’ To which the answer is a resounding ‘hell no’.  You can see that yes, it looks like Insta pays close to $17 an hour. What you haven’t been told, though, is that those figures don’t include fuel cost which I estimate to be 20% of what I’ve earned (I haven’t kept good track but I think this is pretty close). This brings the rate of pay down to around $13.10 an hour, not including the poo poo you are beating out of your car and your body, and the fact that most people don’t realize that independent contractors are supposed to pay taxes quarterly- you’re down somewhere around $11.10 an hour at a 15% tax rate. And then you realize you have a Master’s Degree that you paid 75 grand for and now you want to kill yourself because murdering your car and body is still paying less than the starting wage at McDonald's. The one real nice thing about Insta is that Insta pays around 70% of the cost of a run and the customer pays around 30% with their ‘tip’. Up to 5 times a day, you can pay 50 cents to withdraw any money Insta owes you instantly. The tips are paid weekly with an account deposit. So if you absolutely need $50 to cover a bill today, you can probably log in to Insta and get that $50- but don’t forget the cost of that money, in terms of your car, the gas, your body and time, etc. Some general tips: Work alone. I see ‘teams’ of people working together- some of them even with an infant in a car carrier in the cart- ewwwwwwwwwwww, unsanitary- but I have no idea how it’s faster or more efficient. You still have to scan every single bar code and everything is tied to one phone. Don't hurry. You will piss off the people in the store, you will bang poo poo up, you will hurt yourself on the cart. Don’t plod, and you can hustle- but don’t hurry. I’ve timed it and going as fast as you can versus slowing down a little and not wasting trips across the store/energy doesn’t save time. It’s like when the Mythbusters tested driving with the flow of traffic vs. driving like a maniac- the time it saves is negligible at best. Dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed if you have to go in to a Costco. I swear that people’s IQs drop 40 points in the presence of that store. Don’t try to rush it. Go with the flow. Also a $3 chicken bake is a great in between runs meal. People are lovely and can edit tips so that they’ll dangle a $10 tip and then take it back once you’ve delivered. This is a gigantic problem and it’s getting a lot worse lately, as well. Spending 2 hours at Costco and making $17 because they didn’t tip is a really demoralizing thing to have happen. It also sucks when you got the best of the lovely 4 cauliflower that were left at 9 PM on a Sunday and the customer gives you one star because of 'damaged goods' even though the app strongly encourages you to bring everything the customer ordered whether it looks good or not. Sure, you can call them- but you're going to gently caress up your performance metrics while Sally Housewife runs you around the store for the 5 things she forgot to order but still wants you to get. A 5 star rating on a batch pays an extra $3 but it seems pretty random as to when you get no rating and when you get 5 stars. I do have to say that Insta are fair about if you did the job or didn't and let you keep cancelled/undeliverable orders and pay you for orders that are unfulfillable. I’m still eating $200 worth of organic chicken from Mother’s Market that was ordered to a nonexistent address last week. Feel free to ask questions! Sorry, this got long

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:How much do you make playing pinball? i dunno, like..two hundred bucks over the last 6 months? playing pinball for a living is not in the cards except for maybe a dozen people in the world Vox Nihili posted:It sounds like at this point you are effectively working a full-time job with Insta-Cart. The job sounds miserable and, well, not particularly remunerative, even before the additional payroll taxes for being a "contractor" are considered i still have my business to run for 4-6 hours a day and i put in a gently caress load of hours volunteering with youth soccer as well. the ability to pick up and put down the app and choose hours is like...99% of the appeal of it. i already pay taxes quarterly on my own business so i am well aware of that particualr trap. My Rhythmic Crotch posted:If you're in CA, shouldn't it be pretty easy to make $17/hr without putting an assload of miles on your car? please show me where. a job overnight slinging packages at UPS or stocing shelves at Target pays about $14 an hour and i can't do those anyway as i can't technically technically lift more than 25 pounds. don't get me wrong, the money is lovely. i am effectively trading the wear on my body and car and my time for something i don't really have the means to get normally and i accept that. Tiny Tubesteak Tom posted:OP, you don't need a brand new Deadpool to loving practice. If you can play locally competitively, you can go take $20 down on location and play for five hours. That removes the money pit of a broken machine from the equation entirely. I think you are understating the maintenance on a Stern. Even fresh from the factory Jurassic Parks have systematic mechanical issues. i want it, i don't need it. i play pinball 3 or 4 times a week anyway. i want it at home to share with my family and friends and to be the first of probably fifty i plan to eventually own Elephanthead posted:Can't you charge people 25 cents to play it? 24,000 suckers and it is paid off. i don't know a single operator that makes money operating pinballs

Lockback posted:That's a cool write up. It sorta confirms my second hand knowledge of gig economy which is "it's only worthwhile if complete schedule autonomy with little notice is required". I'm glad you appear to be ditching it and you getting a Deadpool pro or premium for $6k? thanks; this ended up being more about pinball than anything but i couldn't really find anything good to read about what it's like to do the job before i started and i get asked a lot. i refuse to read reddit I'm gonna do it off and on until my birthday, super bowl weekend in february. im more than halfway there already; it'd be stupid to stop now. as i mentioned though, i absolutely will not keep doing it once my clients' budgets for next year kick in  (it's a pro, the premium adds a shot i hate. im gonna spend the extra few hundo for the shaker, though, i think it adds a lot) edit: also you dont play pinball for money, you play it for badass trophies such as these:

Sock The Great posted:How much trouble do you get in if you give the receipt from the store with the order? I put the receipt in one of the bags for like the first...200 orders? Then I got a very terse email that you're not supposed to do that and now even if the customer asks me for it I tell them no, sorry, can't do it but yeah, part of Instacart's deal is that they negotiate volume discounts and such for produce, meat, etc.- so what you pay when you shop insta is not what you pay when you shop in the store. for example, cat food might be 2 for 1 in the store but not through insta and you are in no way supposed to get two bags of it for the client if you happen to see the deal in store. i see people texting their customers stuff like 'they have the Cheerios you wanted two for one, do you want to get two instead?' and im like what in the gently caress are you- and people that put thank you cards in the bags- doing i have a 4.93 rating and i never do any of that poo poo. AT MOST i will call you if the app says to, if i have to substitute something. im not leaving a voicemail and waiting 10 minutes for a call back, though Sock The Great posted:..... I will never use Instacart (or any other of these delivery apps..Uber Eats, Postmates etc.) ever again. can i ask why? it's pretty clear on their site what you're in for: Item pricing Retailers set the prices of items available for delivery on the Instacart platform. While many retailers offer the same in-store prices on Instacart, others set different prices on the Instacart platform than in-store prices. In some cases, a flat percentage is added to cover the cost of the Instacart service. boar guy fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Oct 10, 2019 |

Inept posted:This sounds like the setup for a sad short story where at the end your hands are too hosed up to play your new pinball machine. Are you worried about long term damage? yes, frankly, I am. it's gotten better over time and I've learned better ways to hold the phone and things but between picking, pushing, scanning, lifting, carrying and driving I could see someone developing carpal tunnel or arthritis easily in a short period of time. some stores have little phone holders on the carts but ew think about the motion your wrist uses to rotate a can of corn so the bar code is in the right position for a phone to read it and then multiply that by a few hundred a day...then add in lifting heavy cases of water (4 times per order, mainly- in to cart, on to checkstand, in to car, up to door) hanging 6 bags off your fingers to save a trip up the stairs, driving with one hand....it adds up. I type like 150 WPM and thought I had muscular hands but nah

other little stuff i've though about and would recommend to people doing the job: carry a quarter in case you have to go to Aldi bag your own poo poo, don't stand there watching the store people do it, they loving hate that learn how to pick a melon, a pepper, an avocado, etc. ask people if they want help bringing groceries in, they are always delighted and you're already carrying the poo poo anyway there is food everywhere and delis smell good, you will be actively resisting the temptation to eat; on the other hand a 10 hour shift is easily 5 miles worth of steps yes, people will order stuff like pregnancy tests and astroglide ...i'm sure ill think of more

Gei posted:I worked the Austin zone as a combined full service shopper/delivery-only guy for I think a little over a year and hated every second of it. yeah, i haven't met/talked to a single other driver that's been doing it for more than a month that likes it. it sucks pretty loving bad tbh i can spot someone working from a mile away...the desperation radiates off of usalmost walked out on an order today. $70 batch, over $600 worth of stuff at Costco. heavy item bonus (two 36 packs of water). i have a ford focus, i think i mentioned. they gave me one hour and five minutes to pick the order. the lady then texts me for extra poo poo and to hurry because she has to pick her kid up or something? i was like 15 minutes over the time they allotted me, the little timer in the corner was red, i was looking at like 9 more trips across the store, i said gently caress it. marked everything left in the order as out of stock and told customer service, hey she's gonna be pissed about this she lowered her tip from $40 to $30 so i still made $60 for the ninety minutes but man. i wanted to just walk in the worst way. first time i've honestly felt screwed; the low pay i expect but that poo poo was flustrating. i got to her house and put all the poo poo on the porch and then rang the bell and was like here you go thanks bye, when normally i bend over backwards to be nice and help and carry stuff to the kitchen for them. loving BOUGIE rear end HOE ORDERING $600 WORTH OF poo poo FROM A STORE THAT'S 3 MILES AWAY THEN RUNNING ME AROUND WITH A 200 POUND CART FOR ORANGE JUICE AND HOT COCOA AND TELLING ME YOU DIDNT MEAN TO RUSH ME, KISS MY rear end oh sorry about that haha edit: Gei, in your experience, are the people who just shop and don't drive like...super weird? or is it just here also the whole 'tipping' thing is a way for them to cook their books. the explanation for how they figure fees is suuuuuuper shady edit again: as a shopper, here's my advice to you as a customer don't get produce through instacart, especially if you are getting $250 worth of organic bullshit from mother's market. don't trust some instacart tweaker to divine what level of avocado ripeness is acceptable from across town, telepathically. buy that poo poo yourself the service is not designed to replace water delivery and ordering 10 6 packs of 5 gallon water jugs is just a dick move the service is not for $600 costco orders if you order weird organic hard to find bullshit and get a replacement you dont like, tough poo poo, shop for it yourself making people carry heavy poo poo up 3 flights of stairs if you are capable of doing it yourself is pretty lovely its a bougie as gently caress service for bougie as gently caress people, don't complain that it's expensive bear in mind that if you add poo poo to your order during it, the app doesn't add time to the timer. give your shopper a break

Hyrax Attack! posted:So if someone tips you do you get 100% of that? There was a big story about food delivery people getting screwed out of tips, wondering if it were the same. i don't really know how it works. here is the summary from the app for that big costco order i pulled yesterday:  when this popped up on my screen it was $30 from Insta and $40 from the customer. you can see how it changed, probably because a)the dollar amount of the order changed when i stopped filling it or b)the lady reduced her tip afterwards. my lowest star rating yesterday was 4 stars so...that tells you the service standard on insta seems to be totally random, i've had people mark stuff as missing from their order that i know goddamn well i handed to themoh and the tips get even jankier on a delivery only order. how do they split it between the shopper and the driver? who gets the extra $3 for a 5 star rating? no one really knows insta also calculates distances using toll roads lmao boar guy fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Oct 15, 2019 |

I. M. Gei posted:I never got a single full-service batch at Costco when I worked for IC. I only ever got DOs, and they were always some of the worst/most annoying batches for me because there was almost always too much poo poo for me to fit inside my tiny rear end Corolla, so I had to keep calling what IC called “Shopper Happiness” (basically IC’s employee help line) to get one or two orders taken off each batch just so I could fit everything in my car. And because the Costcos in Austin are all way the gently caress on the far edges of town so it was always a long rear end drive from there to the customers’ houses. we hardly ever get DO- there is only one grocery store left here in south county that even offers it; the one by the retirement community hate DO orders from there, gonna be 3 stacked up, to addresses up three flights where the old wants you to bring everything in also those orders are going to be 10 bags each because the dipshit in store shopping guys insist on putting everything in its own bag. eggs? 1 bag. bread? 1 bag. bananas? 1 bag. canned poo poo? stuff 50 of them in one bag. boar guy fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Oct 18, 2019 |

okay, took the morning off, so time for another update/brain dump i think i figured out a better way to do this thing, which is NEVER EVER SCHEDULE YOURSELF FOR HOURS. just freelance pick up batches instead. there's a time of day when the peak bonuses are insane- yesterday, for example, I worked for 4 hours and made $92. you just have to be willing to sit idle for a while or drive around and wait for better batches. Those 4 runs I made yesterday were all to Costco, all of them had less than 4 items in them and were delivered to addresses less than 5 miles from the store. at that rate, it makes sense to do it. what does't make sense, is scheduling yourself for hours and then not getting to choose what batches you pick up; you're locked in to the system at that point and if you turn down 3 batches in a row because they aren't worth doing they cut you off for the day and you get a Reliability Incident until you whimperingly log back in and take that $9 batch that has 40 items to pick in it some other Random Stories had a delivery last sunday that was at like 5:30 PM down this dark rear end road that ended in a cul de sac; nobody's outside, no speed limits posted or anything. i drop my poo poo off and then turn around and some crazy motherfucker jumps out in the middle of the road maybe...50 yards up? and starts waving his hands at me (i did no more than 30 mph on this street. yes i know assume 25 but its dark and there's no one around. no street lights, nothing and i was in a hurry to gtfo but im pretty sure his complaint was that i was driving too fast) and yelling. I drove straight ahead- there was a car parked in the street on my left side- planning to go around him but he just kept putting himself in front of my car. for all i know this crazy gently caress has a weapon or a vendetta against ford focuses so i gun it to my left, barely missing both him and the parked car. he took the opportunity to smash both his hands on passenger side windows and i took the opportunity to get the gently caress outta there. i got punched in the face through the open window of my pickup once in college driving for dominos and very nearly ran the fucker over trying to get out of there that time. what kind of crazy gently caress jumps out in front of a moving car?!?! what's the part of your elbow that makes it so that you can hold a full cup of coffee in your non-dominant hand, raise it to your lips and drink it? cause i was having some trouble doing that until i took a few days off. feels like..a tendon? or something? under my elbow? wife comes in this morning 'why is there a 50 pack of costco toilet paper in your trunk' oops, i guess i forgot one of the items in my last delivery because i was also running a client call through my cell phone at the same time no change in my Shopper rating, though...hmmm, almost like that rating is total bullshitIC are definitely gaming the gently caress out of your tip. what you choose to tip in the app has no correlation with what IC calls a tip. if you want to tip your driver do it in cash the quality bonus is gone in retaliation for people complaining about wages so drivers literally do not give a poo poo if they do a good job or not. there's no punishment for low star ratings. i had an order the other day that i dropped off and then the lady lied and said i didn't; $45 worth of vitamin C and bullshit from mother's market. she reported both items missing. thats $45 that insta just has to eat, and my rating went from a 4.89 to a 4.83. so who cares? working for instacart is essentially slave labor and you should feel bad about using the service and i should feel bad about supporting it by working for it. the gig economy is utter bullshit

just a heads up as i am not risking my life for insta, but wanted to let people know that they are upping their game here in OC CA for example, i got a promo fo $150 if i do 10 batches this week; on top of the $7 minimum per batch that's $17 per plus the tip which is pretty okay money but still not worth risking your life for imho edit: just a reminder as you order stuff in, the apps lie about how much of the tip the driver gets. if you want the people risking their lives to help you to get the whole tip, tip in cash boar guy fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Lockback posted:Nice! And a good timing to play, I'm jealous. it was but as i explained, we needed the insta money for bills. i picked this up at a great price as a reward to myself for landing a job last week, and am going to sink another 5-600 in to it in the form of paint and stencils, plastics, LEDs, stickers etc. as a reward for converting the 90 day contract i got to a full time gig when that happens. also my elbow finally stopped hurting and the muscle in my left shoulder finally stopped constantly twitching thanks for asking
