everyone and their mother turned to delivery services for income, causing an extreme over saturation of drivers in most markets.

That explains why it has taken 2-3 days to get grocery delivery in two different suburban markets all year long. Before and after the Instacart strike. It explains why I have to take time off from my job to shop in the grocery store, load the cooler with ice, and drive six hours round trip to deliver groceries to my elderly mother from August until now. btw--we are excellent tippers.

Are you paid for writing complaints on internet forums, or is this your volunteer public service?

—————————————

Who gives an eff about how long it takes for you to get your garbage delivered. Your comment has absolutely NOTHING to do with how lowly paid and exploited the delivery service driver is. You are part of the problem.

No they see your order, they see the app-generated tip and drivers pass.

And yes InstaCart really effed their drivers hard by allowing tips to be rescinded up to a few days after delivery.

The strike was for that very reason. InstaCart drivers working for free after tips were rescinded.

Would you work for free?

IF taking groceries to your Mother is taking so much time & effort-—can you NOT find a local 18 year old female that would be glad to be paid to do that????

Find a Girl Scout or a 4-H girl to do it pay her.

Or contact a local church & have them recommend someone.

Amazon delivers food - same day and next day...

Have your mother join amazon prime then it’s free delivery... or if not prime - it’s free delivery with a $25 order.

Publix has delivery...
