hopefully whatever you were making with that sour cream will survive the beef rawhide replacement 🤣

[–] canthidium 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was the paper towels that got replaced with rawhide. The sour cream is still pending.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

For many applications, rawhide is an upgrade over paper!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Currently it's just cream. Your order will be updated when it has turned sour.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Your food is being kept in a climate controlled environment. Aka the trunk. Just helping that cream go sour!

Beef rawhide, the keto substitute for sour cream

Wash it down with a shot of corn oil and bone broth

This desperate fool is making her own shopping trip by subbing your stuff out…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yep. Hopefully OP sees this. This is a common fraud perpetrated via instacart. The shopper basically subs all your stuff for whatever they want and then marks your stuff delivered. You won't get your order but Instacart should refund you.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

The one and only time I got grocery delivery, they subbed frozen mango chunks for frozen butternut squash, as if the most important thing was getting something orange and frozen and not like, picking a different vegetable I could use for dinner instead. I ended up making smoothies with the mangos though.

Today I ordered six mini bottles (I guess 10 oz each?) of club soda. They were out, so the shopper brought me four large bottles of club soda (maybe 38 oz each?).

Apparently I need to drink a lot of mojitos.

You want paper towels? Nah you get dog treats, bro

Although person probably just scanned the wrong item 😂

I usually try to go with Shipt shoppers if I can. IMHO, they give more of a shit compared to IC.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is a very high chance the people shopping are doing it for every brand they can. At best shipt simply has better costumer support and they don't want to mess with it.

[–] Ghostalmedia 1 points 1 year ago

They tend to be more aggressive about booting bad shoppers off of their platform.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I notice the suggestions are more expensive. Do they make more?

[–] TheAndrewBrown 4 points 1 year ago

I would assume the amount they make is a percentage of the cart total. That would be the only way to make longer trips worth it. So that would incentivize suggesting more expensive options. But I imagine there’s also a tip mechanic so doing obvious stuff like that could hurt your tip.

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It could be 2 things, 1) what you wanted was already the cheapest 2) maybe they think replacing it with a “better” quality version is a better move than cheaper.

Better is in quotes since more expensive doesn’t equal better quality.

I really don’t know, talking out my ass rn

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Does IC give you a way to make your own replacement suggestions? I only use Shipt, and it's built into shipt to preload "if they don't have that, get this". Most of the time the shopper is able to complete the whole order without changing anything when the preloaded suggestions are used.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yes you have the ability to both pick specific replacements and leave a tweet sized note about what you really want.

But I cancelled my subscription to Instacart specifically because there were far too many times a shopper just ignores your notes and replacement choices.

Like....dude I didn't make notes for funsies. That was my meal plan for the whole week. How the hell am I supposed to make dinner now? I don't believe you that there is NO bread in the damn store. TALK to me before you just blaze through, refund or make bizarre replacements and then check out. This is my FOOD. 😭

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls 1 points 1 year ago

I haven’t used either of those before so I hope someone else can answer you
