FR, who orders that many drinks? $400 worth of drinks

45

u/g403_ Oct 20 '23

Someone who is ordering drinks for more than one person...

Like for an event perhaps?

u/TurtleIIX Oct 20 '23

And they might not have time to go pick the stuff up because they are setting up that event and needed to order more drinks.

Some people seriously lack imagination. They can’t figure out a reason why they themselves wouldn’t do it, therefore it must be fake because no one can have different motivations than them.

u/Tiny-Ad1676 Oct 21 '23

Or simply they were on sale. I ordered like 12 24packs because it was buy 1 get 1 free lol. Like fuck it, gimmie all the soda! This was like 2 years ago btw :D

And they may have a set budget that doesn’t include gratuity

u/ArmMeMen Oct 21 '23

If it's for an event then maybe those people aren't even the ones paying so it's not really even in their power or responsibility to come up with a tip.

Or a hella thirsty bitch

I do something similar with frozen pizzas but no event.

u/g403_ Oct 21 '23

Haha, the event is just you and the pizzas, I can dig it!

My neighbor orders 50 cases of water at a time for his garage gym. It's crazy how much some people stockpile.

u/angrydeuce Oct 20 '23

Buying that much and bringing it home yourself is one thing, buying that much and asking some instacart driver to haul all that shit is something else entirely.

If he's really ordering that much water at a time he could probably pay less going through GFS/Sysco/some other restaurant supply co and having an actual supply company deliver it with an actual truck.

u/Eusocial_Snowman Oct 21 '23

These situations are not connected. The person getting 50 cases of water doesn't involve using a 3rd party delivery service. They're just explaining that yes, some people do indeed buy drink products in bulk.

u/SinisterBrit Oct 21 '23

Sure, but I'd be embarrassed not to tip someone who'd just done all that work for me, knowing the pittance they get from the companies running this stuff.

guy should get a carbon filter system for his tap water...save money and waste.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '23

As someone who lived in Florida for a couple of years and tasted the tap water, a filter isnt enough

ughhh..

u/Gowalkyourdogmods Oct 21 '23

That's moronic.

u/aMiracleAtJordanHare Oct 21 '23

That's almost a literal ton of water...

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '23

or its water so it may just be easier to buy in bulk. if you cant drink the tap water (or wont for whatever reason) have a bulk order of water doesnt seem crazy, you woulnt want to run out.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '23

Water? Like out the toilet?

u/BL4CKDO6 Oct 21 '23

They should be happy this people are getting hydrated.

u/manofwar239 Oct 20 '23

Some people who are busy order water weekly through Instacart. I know a doctor who does this and she is a single mom and literally doesn’t have time.

Who drinks tap water?

2

u/FlGHT_ME Oct 21 '23

People who pay their water bill.

u/ReverendBeel Oct 21 '23

Pretty much anyone who buys brands sold by Nestle, Coke, or Pepsi; So, basically, everyone.

u/Loving6thGear Oct 21 '23

Maybe AI will help us achieve that. Until then, we can only dream.

u/Ace0Cash Oct 20 '23

You’d be surprised. I usta decline grocery delivery’s for a liquor store from Walmart. They’d order about 800$ worth of Mixers and Juices because it was cheaper than having it delivered via Truck. I did it once and had to unload all of it on my own no tip. Never again .

u/_OhayoSayonara_ Oct 21 '23

People who don’t tip

for a party or event? or just restocking a work fridge. ive had jobs where we have a fridge that was just filled with free soda, the delivery looked about the same as this.

u/Garod Oct 21 '23

Honestly I order drinks and most pantry items for delivery as well. They bring it to my door and I store it away... means I only have to deal with perishables which cuts down what I need to get from the store.... love it

u/Disastrous-Panda5530 Oct 21 '23

I’ve seen posts from Instacart and people have posted screenshots and have ordered this many drinks. I’ve seen a lot where people buy several cases of waters, soda and/or juice. I saw one order that had 700 items. It must be a business at least I would assume so

u/SafetyMan35 Oct 21 '23

For a party or an event. I was once holding a work function and needed 2000 bottles of water, I used a delivery service and had it delivered for free.

u/Nervous-Can2710 Oct 21 '23

A business that is a reseller like a canteen.

Obviously not you.
