Instacart typically pays $4-$7 or so for most grocery shopping and delivery orders.

They're not paying people what they deserve out of those markups.

Honestly they're just a terrible company that shouldn't exist.

Yep… they expect the customer to make up the difference.

“We only paid this person who got your groceries $4 for the hour they spent driving back and forth to get your things… isn’t that terrible? Now, how much do you want to tip this poor sap to atone for your guilt by association?”

Yes.. exactly

And often more than an hour, plus gas, plus wear and tear...

It's an extremely exploitative model.
