What is the meaning you are trying to convey here? Genuinely confused by this sentence.
- bottled_poe 6y agoI too see this phrase used and it often seems to imply the opposite meaning of what is intended. It is indeed confusing.
- jstanley 6y agoGenerally the phrase is "I couldn't care less", meaning it is impossible to care any less than I already do. I think "I can care less" is meant to mean "I can care less than most people do, because it doesn't matter to me".
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoIn my experience people say "I can/could care less" when they mean to say "couldn't care less". An incorrect correction of the double negative.
- iamyi 6y agoThanks for the language advice!
- iamyi 6y agoSorry for the confusion. What I meant is that I have never made a purchase from instacart app or from instacart.com website. Instead, I am placing online orders in costco app (and sometimes with a browser on costco.com) for grocery. Instarcart is a vendor for costco's grocery delivery. When I say I don't care about instacart, I meant I am a customer of costco for this order journey, not a customer to instacart.
