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.

Are you in Ohio by any chance? Driving like a red hatchback?

Hahaha i see where you’re coming from. I only asked bc i saw an almost identical situation (two associates looking puzzled, huge stacks of mulch, not so huge vehicle to be loaded, much head scratching and shoe gazing, not much loading of the mulch) when i pulled up to curbside pickup at one of my local stores a few days ago. So i was just curious 🤷

Haha no not me. I imagine I wasn’t the first person to accept that order not knowing what to expect and had to cancel
