Advertised mileage
I JUST started as a shopper on Instacart. But one thing I’ve already noticed is the mileage Instacart advertises on orders. It’ll say 5 miles for X amount of pay (from the store to the delivery address) but then when I click on the location for the store, it’s an additional 5+ miles away from where I am, so really the order is 10+ miles, and then the pay they’re offering isn’t worth it at all. I was sitting at the same store, on the busier side of town (it wanted me to drive to the opposite end of my town) and I couldn’t transfer the order to the store I was at. Sometimes I’ll be driving when it offers an order like that, and it’s hard to look at when I’m on the road.
I wish I would’ve gotten a screenshot but the app was making me mad so I stopped shopping, lol. But maybe I’m dumb and looking at it wrong, cause like I said, I’m still new to this.
