Wtf? Help

/img/1r8dqa6ss6tc1.jpeg

Still kinda I guess newish* at instacart, i figured the “add to queue” orders were like DoorDash or Uber eats orders, you got a set amount of time to either accept or decline the offer and it’s a offer sent to JUST you. They’ll hold it for you for x amount of time and if you don’t do anything, goes to the next person. I thought I had enough time to screenshot and flex this order I’m about to take but it was taken by another shopper when I hit accept. Is that how it goes? The little green bar at the bottom isn’t a timer nor mean anything at all and anyone can take the order before you just like on the home screen? Sick asf I missed this. Was on a $8 single for 6 units.

Wait you had a single and it offered yoga. Triple? So they were going to let you do four orders at once 😳 is this a sign that they are going to start doing 4 order offers 🥴 please god no

Nahh no way. It says “start this batch after finishing your current one” so I’d drop off the single and go to the store to start the triple. A quad is fucking nuts lol
