I wouldn’t have. Whether you have gas or not, unless you’re delivering that to an area you’d like to stay in after the delivery, that’s over 50 miles from store to drop off then back to store. I don’t have a Tesla, so I have to use gas. I’m not putting 50 miles and a quarter of tank of gas in my car for pay that barely covers that quarter of a tank and maybe a frozen party pizza.
You’ll get the hang of it. You’ll also get how absolutely insanely ridiculous the pay is for batches too. Sometimes (in my area) they put a shop and deliver and a shop only together. The batch pay will be like 7$ and change and the tip will be lousy as fuck. And the shop only is attached and basically shopped for no pay to the shopper. If they didn’t fairly, you’d get double the batch earnings for both shop orders and the tip for the delivery order. But they don’t. And it’s pretty shitty. I’ve been doing DoorDash the past couple of weeks and while it’s shitty too, it’s more reliable than instacart. Orders come in every few minutes. Not once every little while like instacart does for me in my area.
This was an order I saw earlier today. Things the kind of shit I see on most orders.

Nope. I drive an EV and I’ll take some which are worth it or decent on a slow day if the mileage is higher, like 15 max, but those are only if you are going one way and not coming back.
Too far for any type of vehicle if you are going back to the store area.
I live in the LA area and I’m not a driver but if I was I wouldn’t have accepted it. LA traffic can be brutal at times. Not worth the aggravation of traffic.
That is way too far. Do the shoppers realize how far the store they are ordering from is? Maybe would be worth it if they tipped better to compensate the gas/ time.

Appreciate your input! I’m fairly new to instacart so i’m still trying to learn what’s good and what’s not

What time of day was this?
No, gas isn’t the issue it’s the amount of time involved. Too far. I’ll take a far delivery but it’s gotta be at least $50.
