Trying the 6 AM Instacart Shift for 1 Week 

Dude! Your hair! 😂 Like the hustle! Great video!

So.i subscribe? And u send me 10$?

People like him will get crushed and take advantage! This world is so evil with good people…So sad…

@taivo2520 wtf?

@@VSNVanny wut?

@@taivo2520I’m that guy and almost 99 percent of my shoppers increase my tip and have met the founders along with the top shoppers 🎉 so no my friend you are wrong but nice try 😊

Too bad he only saw $1.09 worth of that $100 tip through the app smh

One time I forgot milk and brought it back and the customer and her husband screamed at me. Now I just contact support and have them remove it and then bring the items back to the store lol

@@yungtunathat’s so psycho to scream at someone for fixing their mistake. I can’t even imagine what would compel me to scream at anyone in the retail/service/gig industry. It would have to be pretty heinous.

​@@yungtunalol, damn bro.

Wow 20 miles for an order….

Iv e done this before with a case of monster, unfortunately i didnt get any😂 but its still the right thing to do👌🏽😉

When you make a comment before watching the whole vid 😂

TBF it is a half hour video which is like hours of the time it used to be relative to content and value offered. Still useful tip for some who only watch 3 minutes but scroll through the comments.

I like the pop up wagons on wheels only takes a second and has a handle and cup holders it’s great

I use large reusable Sam’s/BJ’s bags that hold lots of grocery bags and have long straps that makes it easy to carry on my shoulders. These are super convenient for 12 packs of soda, gallons of water and other large items.

This is smart af.

And the roads seem to be less busy 💯 so relaxing.

It’s cool but depending on how it was the day before a lot of things are out of stock and you gotta wait for trucks to get in or for workers to refill things

@@izzy_elnino864the overnight stock workers usually stock the shelves between the hours of 11pm-7am depending on the store.

It’s a struggle

@@aphidcartwhat city of TX are you in?

@@stephenlandrum let’s just say in between San Antonio and Austin

@@aphidcart ok, nice!

Glad I'm not the only one

Thank you! And I am pretty hard on myself, I always want to do my best, so that is the main reason I took them back. Gig work can be flexible, and for people who run new businesses it can be very beneficial. People who are sick a lot can just work when they can. Also I feel that pregnant women can really benefit from work like this, since they can work on their own time and even with a kid if need be. Personally gig work is not my main source of income, it is just a side thing and mostly for RU-vid videos now.

@@aphidcart Gotcha!! Just subbed earlier, keep up the videos! 🫶

@@exxsprout Awesome! Thank you 😃

Great info! Thanks

Really appreciate hearing that. Thanks for the support.

Thanks! I am trying to be more positive to help spread good vibes 😎

Enjoy the new job! What made you quit instacart, if you don’t mind me asking?

@@aphidcart our car is falling apart, nordstrom is within walking distance of me and gfs apartment and she'll take the car to her job a mile away. Plus health insurance since I'll age out next year turning 26

@@enjaluu that sounds like a good plan though! My car has been falling apart as well, but luckily I got family to help teach me how to fix it so I can keep going. Hope the new job works out 💯

Yeah, I’ve been working on some other stuff. Thanks for stopping by again! I should be uploading more often again

I had to quit instacart coz I barely saw any orders the few I did find barely covered gas and any decent orders were quickly snatched by others. Near the last month things went down fast. Multiple orders from multiple stores for only $4-12 dollars with millage over 20 it was a big H***NO.

How can Pepsi co affect instacart forcing it to close?

@@dragonext2001 pepsi co bought a controlling share of instacarts stock.

Hope you enjoy the new job! Keep grinding 💯💪

@@aphidcart thanks appreciate it

Haha, that is awesome. Thanks for stopping by 👋

I would definitely give it a try. It is so peaceful! Appreciate you both, hope you guys are doing good 💯💪

Haha, awesome! Thanks for joining

There are apps for tracking mileage!

@@BonnieM93what apps?

There are some people that could probably make the same amount in half the time forsure. But like you said, for my market, it is descent 💯💪

Another thing to consider is that, (Given I'm not sure if he's already mathed it out and showing us the end result) most drivers have to hold their own taxes since they are independent contractors, so you end up having to set aside ~20% give or take out of that amount, and the gas while driving to and from each day has to be taken out of that too. It's still good money, just things you have to think about

@@AkariKinryuu true, but if you keep a pretty accurate milage log, list of all repair bills for the car, cost of anything extra [bags at stores that wont provide paper/plastic bags anymore.] add in anything else you bought to assist the job. When you claim all of that on taxes that ~20% quickly drops to 4 ot 5%, I went from having an almost 1k tax bill last year, down to 176 dollars after deductions.

He lives in Texas it seems so idk if it’s good at the area

​@@pepsilove6306fwiw you can either take mileage or "actual expenses." You can't take both.

Awesome!!

I’m just glad that Instacart pays for the bags because I like to bag stuff organized

​@@mycinnamongirlWhat's funny is you you can't use plastic bags but a lot of items are packaged in plastic. Hmmm

@@mycinnamongirl Another funny thing is that Cali pushes paper straws but the straws come in plastic packaging.

@@mycinnamongirl Recycling is a scam. Only about percent gets recycled. The rest goes to the landfill.

Yeah it took a bit to make this video 💯💪

@@aphidcartI hope you’re not leaving us 😢

Thank you 🙏 definitely not perfect but I’m pretty happy with this one

I used to do that! Recently my basket broke so I just started using a costco box. Sometimes I forget to put it back in my car though haha

Multi-apping for the win 💯

You’ll really start making a lot when you can accept a double shipt curbside order and an Instacart order and deliver them at the same time. You’ll need boxes or something to keep them organized and separated.

It was an old regular of mine. She favorited me recently 💯

@@aphidcart dude that’s some luck bro

💯🫡

Thank you!

Thank you 🙏

Thanks!

Early mornings have been growing on me, especially since I can escape most the Texas heat 😂

That was so nice of you to take those chips back to your customer! Excellent job! 🎉😊

Thanks! 😎

I don’t believe they track it. I’ve used Gridwise before and I believe the solo app will do it for free as well

Lol nice timing

You know it!

Thanks 🙏

Appreciate it! Was trying to be creative haha glad nobody stole the camera

For gig work? Or just in general

I got one, just put it back in my car haha

thank you!

You do what you can. The important thing is not to tip zero, nor to bait and switch by putting a tip on and then taking it off after delivery. Even modest tips are appreciated, keep in mind depending upon your market if there are better batches with bigger tips, those are going to get picked by shoppers first. If your tips are very low your batches may get combined with other customers that are nearby which may make it more feasible for you to get a delivery and the shopper to still make good money.

It worked out for me, she increased her tip

Oh no 😅

You have to get the stuff, sometimes the stores will have it all picked and ready to go, but 95% of the time you will have to get it like if you were grocery shopping.

That’s pretty crazy, you are basically working two jobs for the price of one. While Instacart comes up with ways to pay you less everyday.

⁠@@bobby_digital9493it is really crazy. Some customers don’t realize how much work we do! I shopped for and delivered groceries for 3 different people for $9.75 on my second day. I could barely believe it. Should be $10 per household at the very least.
