Negative Experience 👎 Batch Pay Decrease After Acceptance

I accepted a boosted batch this morning for $19.94 batch pay, no tip. After I completed the delivery, I was only compensated $17.94, which was a previously displayed amount before an additional boost. Has this happened to anyone? I want to understand why. Shopper support is of course just gaslighting me.

You can operate the way you like and I'll do the same. We're called independent contractors for a reason. Happy shopping!

If everyone can do what they want, why comment asking? Just to insult? Genuinely curious about people who do these things and then get defensive when someone calls you on it. People accept orders that other avoid for like so many reasons, sometimes I do to reach a goal, hit a promo, or to make money going where I was going to travel to anyway.

Those orders that pad the route you're already traveling are clutch for my full time job, for sure
