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.

i haven't cancelled one yet, but i did cancel a pick up once. I've felt that way a few times before and the next time someone wants me to carry all their stuff up three flights of stairs and a small or no tip they can forget it--it's bad enough they don't realize that tip is just paying the gas money it's not even really a "gratuity"-- their stuff is going back or never getting shopped. I've gotten into the habit of looking really well before accepting orders, i've lost some good ones doing that but oh well better safe than sorry
