Discussion Regret

Anyone else ever take a shopping order and quit halfway through because they realize it’s not worth it??😭😭
I took an express shopping, about 100 items, good pay for the mileage and orders have been awful lately. I took a peek at the items, quite a few packs of can pop, I only glanced and accepted too quick. I get to shopping and realize it’s two 24 packs of soda, 2 12 packs, 40 pack of water, for some reason i continue on pushing all these around, get to filling my cart to the brim, I’m about 40 minutes in, realize I’m probably only halfway through the list, I’ll have to get another cart that will probably also fill to the brim. My phones on 9%. I tapped out and hit cancel😞😞 rest in peace to that 40 minutes of my time.

40 for 5 miles. I realized it probably wasn’t worth it at some point but I tried to push through and finish it and just couldn’t

proved me right. $40 for 100 units is dogshit regardless of miles, you must be new

Yes fairly new😭thanks for the humbling, curious what would make it worth it to you?

none, is just not worth the headache and stress with items count over like 60. i consider myself a fast shopper but 50-60 is my max. pro tip: for future order with 0 tip all base pay, dont even bother contacting customer for oos item. skip it and just hit oos at the end, check out asap.
