What did I win?
I use Instacart and find that the best shoppers are these women, who have families of their own, and shop for their customers as if they were shopping for their families. Not so single men, millennials or immigrants.
I bet NPR is concerned that these “workers” are not licensed, not regulated, and not members of any labor union.
Way back when I was in college taking business classes, we were modelling startup companies for a class assignment. One of the students did his own company that he started, a grocery delivery company. He did not charge extra for the service, the goods were the same price as if the customer went to the store. So how he made his money was being extremely good at using coupons, he would pocket the difference of using coupons. He actually made good money at it.
Is it Trump’s fault that they are doing this type of job?
So what’s wrong with that? My husband didn’t make a lot of money, so I took whatever I could get that would allow me to be near the kids or at home when they got there. I worked as a teachers aide in my daughter’s school, and then I cleaned houses during the day when the kids got older. I didn’t want to be away when they got home.
I’m stuck in a wheelchair at home with a broken leg. Instacart has been a godsend. My deliverers have been both men and women. They all tell me how much they enjoy the job.
