It must be really weird to work for Instacart. The shoppers spend the entire day in the supermarket, shopping for other people, waiting in the checkout line over and over again. The drivers are just sitting around in the grocery store parking lot most of the time. [0]

- duderific 10y agoYou can tell the Instacart shoppers in the store by the way they charge around frantically, almost pushing people out of the way. They stick out like a sore thumb.

- duderific 10y agoHmm, I haven't seen the blue uniforms where I live (SF Bay Area.)

- grandalf 10y agoI'd much rather have those jobs than many other manual labor jobs. At present many grocery stores are quite pleasant. I don't necessarily want to spend time there, but I'd do it for pay if the wage was competitive with my other best options. Not to mention the free samples. Shopping at Whole Foods all day would mean tons of free chips and guac, gourmet cheese, etc.
