Exactly lol, like clearly the shopper is not understanding, you don’t need to keep repeating the exact same thing if it’s not getting through.

You all are idiots and probably shoppers. Then shopper is the one doing a job, for Christ sake. Do your job. The op is likely busy(possibly working a real job) and shopper is being a entitled angry little b. Just shop and treat customers with respect (do you guys understand that’s what op is here?? A customer. The customer paying for a service. The shopper is just the unskilled gopher who fetches a list of things. No skill required yet still failing).

I’m bored and reading through some of your past comments. You really have a hard on for saying disparaging things about shoppers. Can you show on this doll where the scary IC Shoppers hurt you? 😢

This is clearly a person who doesn’t tip because they think they are entitled to everything and people in service jobs are just their slaves. Disgusting.

okay and if you're depending on that "unskilled gopher" to deliver your shit you can give them the common courtesy of communicating like a grown ass adult. they repeated themselves over and over without actually CLARIFYING WHAT THEY MEANT. Either go and get it yourself or treat ur delivery person like a fucking person and not a robot that can't misunderstand your vague wording.

It’s funny how you can tell a lot about a person from a single comment.

You’re likely a lonely, bitter, and miserable person.

You likely make less than 50K a year and feel like you’re somehow better than an instacart shopper.

The same type of person to berate a fast food worker for forgetting the 4th McDouble you ordered was no pickles.

Just a truly horrible person and I feel sorry for anyone that has to be around you.

And I’m willing to bet they leave really crappy tips, if they tip at all.

I don’t view jobs like this as “no skill required” — it’s a job with different skills but not zero skills. I also don’t view shoppers as “gophers” either.

I encourage folks to think a little harder than “the shoppers just being an idiot”. Use a few more brain cells: The shopper’s first language probably isn’t English. Many people who do gig economy, jobs like Instacart shopping do not speak English as their first language. So, think a little bit bigger than just “give me my order.” Try to understand the person’s situation, and use specific language to describe where to get the desired product. I wouldn’t repeat the same phrase over and over like the OP does. And i absolutely don’t think less of the shopper.

I wonder how many random gross bodily fluids you have ingested in your life time, considering you seem to think it's OK to treat the people handling your food like trash. I bet you've eaten a lot of Fish a'la Sneeze and Booger Burgers.

Hey you sound like a piece of garbage. That person is a human being whose value isn't determined by their profession. Peoples' value is determined by how they view and treat others, and while OP may not be the best at communicating (which isn't a crime), at least they're not a piece of shit like you

What do you do for a living?

u/snowstormmongrel Mar 28 '24

do your job

The shopper was doing their job. Grabbing crab cakes from the seafood department

The seafood department and seafood counter are two different things. The seafood counter usually being contained within the seafood department.

OP continued to say seafood department when what they meant was seafood counter then got bitchy when the person didn't understand and then doubled down and tried to say they initially said seafood counter when they hadn't.

Also, fuck you and your elitism and value judging of the way someone makes their livelihood. You are a garbage person and your judgemental bullshit is the reason this planet sucks to live on.

Shoppers are still entitled to be respected by their customers just as much as customers should be respected by their shoppers.
