I'm not blaming them, I just legitimately don't see how they could offer another service when they're already booked solid and don't have any drivers to spare.

Not bad at all for unskilled labor. Instacart is paying ~CAD$30 gross per shopping trip but seems riskier and more annoying so I haven't hopped on that.
