Is anyone else getting frustrated that instacart says items are in stock, but then replaces them with items with half as much oz and twice the price? I get that it’s a luxury and we approve but still

You realize that you can just opt to not get a replacement, right? When we do Instacart we usually get the option to approve each replacement. It’s never been an issue for us.

I like to choose specific replacements before shopper fulfills order since more likely for items to be out of stock now.

You also don’t know if that item specifically is out of stock or everything close. So 5.3oz regular size original glaze cinnamon rolls might be out but they might have something slightly different. I went through like 4 substitutions before the person messaged me saying look there are no cinnamon rolls left man

Make sure to chat with your shopper. I ordered organic eggs and the only replacement was egg whites. All organic eggs were sold out in the store and I didn’t want egg whites so she texted me a pic of all the eggs available. They weren’t organic and non organic eggs weren’t even listed on instacart so was super nice for my shopper to send me a pic and let me choose which eggs I wanted because I really didn’t want boxed egg whites

I usually do! But in this case it’s half the order and that would take twice as long as normal

Not great but better than getting ‘rona

Once I asked for 2 lbs salmon. They said butcher counter salmon was out of stock, got me pre-measured salmon on a tray priced at 1.6 lbs. I was mad but when I weighed it myself? Exactly 2 lbs.

It’s just magic shrug 🤷‍♂️

I ended up with 2 orders 1 day apart?!? I had an order for today, but it disappeared totally so I place another on for Wednesday. That one came. Some bad substitutes, but whatever. Then last night my spouse noticed stuff on the porch!?! The original order. So I have soooooo much stuff. Ugh.

My mom and I complained for 2 hours to 2 different Instacart reps because the shopper left our groceries at the wrong house

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Every time I speak to my director (at least twice a week), he works in how he is getting older into the conversation(humorously).

He likes to come across as a grandfatherly figure, but I’m not sure what to say in these encounters. It is always an innocent, non work related context. Have you guys experienced this ? What is an appropriate response ?
