They pay by the job, so you really have to hustle big-time to get anywhere close to $45/hr.. They guarantee anywhere from $7 to $10 per shop, depending on a number of factors, plus tips. In my experience using Instacart as a customer, they micro-manage their shoppers to the point where I was unable to communicate directly with the shopper - all questions and answers had to go through the mother ship, which means it can take longer to complete a shop if requested items are out of stock.
I know a guy who does this type of thing for a living, and he told me that he won't work for them because, in his words, "they drive their shoppers crazy."
So the moral of the story is: do your research... |
