    I'm an instacart customer in Sarasota County, Florida and I really enjoy watching these videos from the shoppers because it makes me appreciate them even more. I try to make it easier for the shopper by setting my replacements on everything, extra notes when applicable, and I always tip well. I also participate in the shopping by quickly approving the replacements or selecting other items when necessary. I'm always waiting with the door open on their arrival and make their delivery quick and easy. I keep a small folding table just inside the door so they can easily drop the packages. My shoppers tell me that I'm one of their favorite customers. Thank you for this interesting job that you do!

    Had to edit to comment after reading thought the daycare only tipped $2 glad to know this time they did not because that would have been crazy. Love day in the life vids it shows new ppl wanting to get into gig work a very realistic day not every day is good. Highest mileage we ever seen was 62 miles $62 they should not allow anyone to order from that far just insane smh. Keep motivating 💰💰💪🏼💪🏼

      How much difference does being diamond rank mean. Most orders around me in Maryland are like $20, and then anything above that is at least a double. Never see anything over like $35

    • @Trump2024seetheanddilate
      @Trump2024seetheanddilate 7 месяцев назад

      I dont know any of the ranks. I use Uber Eats and DD. My AR on DD is 3%, my AR on UE is 2%. I decline everything unless it's $9+. I don't even start the car for $8 orders. It all depends on your market. I've learned that my local Pizza Hut doesnt have their own drivers and relies on DoorDash, i now camp their parking lot and get assigned every offer due to proximity, people love to tip high on pizza.

    ‘What’s. Up. PPL??’ Ay, I love your content. I always look forward to seeing something new from you mann!
    I really enjoy the GoPro of the shopping too! But really everything works well together: waiting for offer, listening to your opinion on certain topics, seeing how your day progresses, all the way down to the time that I know you spend editing (selecting instrumentals) videos.
    You’re just THAT guy!
    You obviously got this down to a science and so I wonder how using something like a phone holster for running (that easily releases and leaves all pertinent cameras unobscured) might affect the way you work. I use that along with a battery pack case to keep my phone charged and on my arm at almost all times unless I don’t know the store that well.

    • @Gig_DollarMan
      @Gig_DollarMan  9 месяцев назад +1

      THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Thanks for appreciating what goes into making these videos! I’m really enjoying it but also putting as much effort into them as I possibly can!! It’s quite a grind but I’m so happy to see the end result and people like you enjoying the content. Thanks once again for being part of the process.
      To answer your question,
      I’m already used to hand-holding my phone while shopping, feel it’s the most efficient way to do the job and I do keep a power bank in my car just in case, but try to keep my phone charged up with the car charger while driving/waiting for orders. I never run out of battery.

    • @beingmo612
      @beingmo612 6 месяцев назад

      @@Gig_DollarMan yeah hand-holding does seem to be much easier now. Thought being hands free would make things faster, eventually, but for now it just really gets in the way since i don’t know these stores like that.
      Thanks for sharing your experience! Just from watching, I’ve been able to tweak some things and make more money :). I was never seeing 50s/60s… Thank you!

    Lucky it let you shop other stores instacart in my area every batch says this batch can only be shopped at this store. Also I work my city mostly other areas are 30 min away it would waste to much time driving to different locations like you do but it's nice your stores are much closer gives you more opportunity to make money.

      Must have been a “favorite shopper” order. A newer feature in which customers can request some shoppers as their “favorite” and schedule orders ahead of time with them. I’ve got 88 customers that have selected me, only 1 of them consistently orders with me through that feature. Unfortunately, this feature is not available for every shopper nor for every customer either.

    • @Gig_DollarMan
      @Gig_DollarMan  Месяц назад

      Did you refund or replace any items? If so, It might just be a difference on the order’s price, and therefore, an adjustment on your tip, which is tied to a percentage of the order’s value. Or maybe the customer did lower your tip on purpose unfortunately! Hope that helps!
