No clue what Instacart shoppers do. What makes the orders lucrative/better? Is it high dollar orders, or multiple orders at the same grocery store, or is the tip pre-published, or what's the criteria when looking for orders to fulfill?
- pishpash 6y agoLucrative orders are mispriced orders, no ifs and buts. That's how efficient markets work.
- erik_seaberg 6y agoInstacart customers should be paying more for long trips and bulky items and short deadlines. Clarke once observed that “In orbit, caviar is cheaper than bread.” Paying them more for valuable items only makes sense if the service includes preventing heists.
- smt88 6y agoI don't know the exact formula, but they get tipped on the price of the order (like a server at a US restaurant would). Instacart customers are charged a flat delivery fee, so multiple orders also seems like a factor.
- behnamoh 6y agoI think it means orders which will result in higher tips.
