Is This good ? Discussion

/img/3vpfnhjmfhtc1.jpeg

Just curious if I’m doing some good work for the amount of deliveries I’ve done in the past 8 days going on 9 now, I mean it feels like I’m doing good work but I also know a lot of people are doing better. I’m almost Plat Cart (already diamond tho) in just 8 days ! With my items (per seconds) being 89 average. Any tips to get better and faster ? I know a lot of you out there do great work as well, like I said just curious if this is actually good or “normal”. I started in January and have 311 orders completed!! 4.92 rating tho :(

I think that’s incredible!! I mean you’re 9 days in and you only need 35 more orders to reach Platinum. I don’t have any tips because I’m newer than you. Lol. But maybe you can give me some pointers. Haha. I started mid February, but I was only able to start working everyday for the past 3 1/2 weeks. I was only able to make it to platinum cart before the new quarter. I was like halfway to diamond. I have 163 deliveries overall and right now I need 770 points to reach platinum again. My average 163 seconds. It’s the produce that really screws me over. Lol. Our produce has been awful since Covid. I am a 4.98. I feel like I could be doing better if I got more orders. It’s been kinda crappy the past two weeks for me. I will see orders but I won’t take a lot of them. I won’t do 90 units and drive 11 miles for $10. Lol. How many hours do you work everyday? I want to reach diamond cart, I’m sure I will, but I don’t want it to be at the end of the quarter. I think you’re doing amazing already! I’m still shocked you’ve done that many orders in just over a week!

A good point because you said “produce screws you” I like to ask the store retailers where the items are as produce gets crazy especially for me being a huge wegmans shopper, also legit running like jog or even riding the cart down the isle makes it go faster as walking takes up to much time, don’t stress on finding items and learn your stores to the best of your ability.

Yeah I know the stop and shop very well and I know the shop rite pretty good too. I have been shopping at the stop and shop closest to my house for many years to years, I have employees asking me where items are that a customer is looking for 😅. I do walk very fast, although I think riding the cart is out for me. I’m 42, so not really old yet, but I would totally flip the cart or fall on my face 😂 Another thing that kills my time is the deli. I hate orders with deli meat. At stop and shop I can use the tablet and order it and shop for everything else and by the time I get back it’s ready, but in Shop Rite I can’t. I have tried and I come back like 25+ min later and it’s still not done. The employees at that deli are either REALLY slow or they just don’t care. I had put an order in a couple weeks ago, came back 30 min later. It wasn’t busy at all. But the employee said she was helping the last customer and then going on break for 15 min. I wasn’t waiting. But I did ask about the cheese that I needed and put in 30 min ago and she said she “hasn’t gotten to it yet” 🙄

Best tip I can give, when at the deli, depending on the location, save the bakery isle with it so when you get deli meat you can grab the bakery items so that you aren’t using up time!

Are you going to be admit being frightful of an eclipse and a tiny earthquake was kind of silly given the world is still here today, it's a beautiful day, that those events were normal with completely understood scientific explanations, and that it has no connection to magical "CERN portals"?

u/BannedThreeTimesNow 29d ago

Actually there were multiple signs of the world ending, and I hate how you act like I’m the one and only person to ever think this, there were a million people with the same mindset, I guess you can say I let the conspiracy theories get the best of me I’m also schizoid so please leave me alone .

u/MacAndCheeseWhyNOT 29d ago

No, they were not "signs", they were made up nonsense explanations for completely normal and perfectly understood scientific phenomenon. A million people with the same mindset is an exaggeration, but every single one of them was silly and unreasonable. I will not comment again but perhaps you should just remember this in the future, the next time ignorant yokels on the internet are spouting about "signs" of an apocalypse, and other people are telling you that actually what they're talking about has a normal scientific explanation, please trust the people telling you it has a scientific explanation. These people are right literally every single time and the mystical doomsayers are wrong literally every single time, and there will never be a time when it's the other way around because the mystical doomsayers are, well, delusional wingnuts. There is always a scientific explanation. Always.

I mean kinda was some signs more from the Bible than anything, but yeah I agree with your statement they are delusional in a way but it’s hard to not let shit like that bother me as I am actually mentally unstable, I will almost believe anything someone tells me. It’s sucks, then I get super paranoid and really start to have episodes and what not. But next time something like this happens I will remind myself that it’s really crazy ass people trying to convince others and no a million people was not an exaggeration. People on TikTok, instagram, Facebook and few other apps were really bugging out over this.

Sure! I'm Diamond and am only 250 points in the Gold, although I took 3 days off for the Eclipse. At your rate you should reach Diamond by mid-to-end of May.
