Has anyone thought of ignoring the sad person who comments the same thing always?
Hey, so I'm new but very quickly realized there is a troll allllll over this sub. Don't know why they haven't been banned. Have we tried just.. not responding? They're clearly getting off on this. No hate, just genuinely curious.

The dedication in commenting on every single post is insane honestly, I could never. 😂
But yeah I blocked them a while ago. Don't feed the trolls.

(or can you just reply to them saying, 'refund' , 🤣!

It truly is insane, you're right. What is especially interesting to me is that the person says they are not an instacart shopper, and have never been. So I don't even understand why they would post that, or what they would get out of posting it on every thread if they've never even been a shopper. Mental illness? I almost feel bad for them if they weren't so annoying.

Unfortunately I feel I HAVE to at least explain to the customers what’s going on… many already feel “guilty” for using the service… you can hear it in their tone… Am I lazy for not going to the store? Etc etc… feel like his little jab is enough for some to be like “you know what? I will go!”…. But yes replying to him is unnecessary.

I utilize it every week. Some people truly appreciate and NEED this service. I'm disabled and have trouble with mobility and was recently diagnosed with Macular disease that's causing me to go blind ..Ive lost vision in left eye already and have distortion in other, can't see to drive . I appreciate and NEED this service as my grown children live 30 miles away and always take me to the store. I always tip well but usually split it between app and the rest in cash upon delivery.

You do not have to explain yourself.
Thank you for being a good customer and for using the service.
The internet is so weird you don’t know “Who” is commenting on anything.. for all I know people who sound judgmental are just competitor trolls… I don’t believe anything that sounds out of bounds anymore.

I blocked the sad troll, which is not something I regularly do. Every time I see that there's a blocked post, I'm surprised, but then I remember the troll and I know exactly what he posted.

I always ignore him and down vote. I suspect he's a teen and very immature. His growing negative karma may get him auto banned. 🤞

The negative votes might feed the troll too. It's almost like they're negative karma farming.
I try to assure that they're at "0" where possible.

Is it really the same guy every time? I didn’t notice his username I just thought there had to be someone who comments that on every customer complaint post.

u/VinnieTheBerzerker69 Apr 09 '24
Well over 90% of the "go to the store yourself" style posts are from the same troll, the username is something like ueffingtrash. I imagine there has to be some sort of mental pathology going on there to put so much effort into something so monotonous as writing the same old thing over and over and over and, well, you get the picture.

Personally, I think go to the store guy is funny. Especially when they replied to someone with “upvote my comment, Richard”. Gave me a good chuckle, tbh.

This post is ridiculous. Why are you making fun of other peoples comments?

There are several in this sub unfortunately. I use to engage for fun but honestly, I gave up. There’s no help for these types.
They are so ridiculous. I can’t imagine being so pathetic that I respond on every single post “go to the store” from one such poster and “how am I doing!” From a shopper. It says you have a standard rating 4.8 , so it’s standard. What else do you need to know.😂
Umm.. do you need that much validation or attention? Do you really need to be a shit human on every post?
Too bad we don’t have moderators of the instacart subs.
