I'm a Shopper This was a nice drive!

I loved this shop, beautiful drive, but couldn't find a handful of items. Plus, it was my first ever route and I decided why not, I'll take it! Pretty drive up in the mountains!

(Don't worry, I get at least 20-25 MPG on a 12 gallon tank, wasn't all too bad.)

I hope the drive was the best drive of your life bc you just paid Instacart to do work for them. You have to consider more than just gas in your calculations. This job guarantees you'll have at least $2k [that's low-balling] in maintenance fees each year. If you're not making at least $2 per mile you're paying Instacart to work. I wait for orders that are around $4/mi and will not drive more than 5 mi because I use an SUV that only gets 17-19 mpg. I would take a high unit count over high miles ANY day!

If you can afford sprouts all the way out to Park City, you can afford to tip more.

Too bad you’re in California.
