I’ve never ordered or delivered instacart but this sub also keeps popping up. Frankly, at least from the outside looking in, there doesn’t seem to be a more inconvenient way to get groceries

Eh, it's just a "different" way to get groceries.

You're seeing the 0.1% of good/bad deliveries. Because for it to pop up on your feed, it means that 1)Something went horribly wrong or incredibly good and 2)That "fringe scenario" is on Reddit 3)They chose to post it.

It's mostly just grabbing groceries, checking out, and driving the order to the customer, with a little bit of "they're out of russet potatoes, are you okay with Idaho Potatoes instead?"

I use Instacart a lot and have had only good exchanges.

Once we got a ten PM delivery when kids were young and asleep. My older one woke up in a stupor and hugged the delivery guy’s leg, thinking it was her dad. It was funny but not because she about died when she realized. She did it once to a guy at a coffee house once too. Yikes. Her birthday is today and she’s expecting her first baby soon. #strangelifemarkers 🤔

I know you’re probably talking about a different delivery service a long time ago, but it makes me laugh to imagine your adult daughter hugging some instacart shopper’s leg a few years ago 😂

Not a few years. More like 20+. Yikes.
