    9:09 Chat Valued customer --- REMINDER: •Instacart pays me to DELIVER your order...you pay me for my labor to SHOP your order •Shopping is NOT a free service. You forgot to pay me my labor 33

    •You only paid me for DELIVERY. Your order was not already bagged up for me to pickup and deliver [DELIVERY ONLY], I had to shop for the items •Your DELIVERY FEE/LOW TIP does not cover shopping your order...it only covers delivery of your order

    ☆Delivery fee, plus an optional/low tip [$2-4, which you gave] is for DELIVERY ONLY orders, like pizza delivery. This is a SHOP and DELIVER order. Please increase your "tip" [actually SHOPPER PAY] to reflect this difference, since, as a valued customer, I am sure this was merely an oversight.

    9:10 Chat = I realize some customers don't know this. I would hope you think my efforts actually shopping for you is worth more than a DELIVERY ONLY order, and increase your "tip" to reflect your appreciation for my time and efforts on your behalf. [This is not a budget- friendly service] 33

    JeffTheCreator "Any Other Options?" Or "refund please" Lol I'd definitely just respond with one of the quick chats. But seriously. Report. Especially those caps. So freaking aggressive.

    dinoGOrawr Right. This shopper is basically saying if you can't afford to pay me for both shopping and delivering, don't use the service. Sorry but if you are not compensated enough for your work then don't work there? I am paying for a service, not your salary.
