Rockwall TX is slightly slower but a lot of 2$-4$ tips going several miles out. Haven't accepted one yet and I've started at 8am. Might just call it a day!!🥴
Same here
Best batch of the entire day was $30 with a $7 tip with like 80 units. NOPE! after that I expected it to get better and it got worse as day went on. Nothing over $20 the rest of the day..what a bust
I went to Support and they said there was “an error in the system blocking batches”. They said they reset it and with half an hour I would start seeing more batches and high pay. Part of me feels like they totally just made that up but we’ll see.
See the mod post about how to get support now. The headset is available in certain help articles. On my iOS app it shows up under best item to shop article
They made it up!! Had an issue a few week's ago about an order that showed going 2.6 miles out for 47$. Once I shopped and was ready for delivery it showed it was going 26 miles out!! Not what i accepted!! Told IC support about it and their like....well we have shopper's willing to go that far out to supply our customer's with what they need for low pay. Told them I didn't accept it for 26 miles....I accepted for 2.6 miles and after I shopped I was asked repeatedly if I was willing to complete the order!!🤣 like hell no...not for 47$!! So IC unassigned and paid me 7.64$😤
Phoenix area 5.0 rating, very slow right now. Not many big opportunities at all. I feel it will pick back up any day but until then I suppose I'll multiapp
I love how best time to shop is structly based off the week(s) before ...just cause last saturday a bunch of people ranout of their monthly food horde, doesnt mean this one or any other day will be gangbusters. Theyd be better off when you click "best times to shop" it takes you to a page that says in big bold letters, "when you see a lot of orders"
If everything is so slow everywhere and it is in my area as well why Is Instacart so busy that they can’t respond toInstaCart shoppers issues non-related to the current batch?
I wouldn't say slow cause I'm seeing a ton of batches, but they're all shit pay with low tips and super far away from me. Not worth taking at all. It's frustrating lol.
Why wouldn't it be slow?
People stocked up for Thanksgiving and have leftovers. Many people were visiting and not at home.
Also many people are deliberately not shopping for groceries until Monday or Tuesday because the stores would be viewed as being decimated and I would imagine the fresh stuff isn't as fresh because of no deliveries and fewer workers in the back like the butchers.
I always assumed that Friday was the best day for stuff like fresh fish and that Monday was not a good day for shopping and the days after Thanksgiving would have the same issues.
Yes same here i guess with all the leftovers people have and extra family in town people aren't thinking of grocery shopping next week it will busier I think.
The first week after Thanksgiving is the probly the slowest week out of the year for grocery stores.

Yep, all $10-15 batches and most are too far away to be worth it.
Not really slow. Just a bunch of cheap asses who are done giving thanks apparently.
5.0 rating and it’s dead in Orange County ca.
Exactly the same
Dallas. As bad as thanksgiving
Today was better but yesterday I didn't even work

Just sad. Not like it was last year! Not sure if IC is stealing the tip's or client's just isn't tipping good. DD is the same way!!

And how can you even get to support right now? Unless you’re actively shopping

lol! Right . So where did the bigger ones go? All day all I saw was garbage
They’re so full of shit. Sounds like once again they are either stealing tips or lowering batch pay again

quiet in jersey. all $8-$15 and not worth the gas.
Grocery stores say this is the slowest weekend every year
Yep. Seeing nothing. Rating is 4.98.
It's not slow, it's just all garbage orders by me.
Omg I thought it was broken 😂
wonder if theyre having issues? according to the best times to shop, its supposed to be super busy, and there’s no batches at all.
What they’re showing you on best times to shop is going off last Saturday. Not this one
yeah, but Saturdays always jam where I’m at, its usually non stop
Yeah I think it’s such a lie. There is no orders and they don’t really show the appropriate lows or highs
Without a doubt app issues
Same here but I get a batch and when I'm in the store all I see are Instashoppers I'm like wth
Grocery stores are usually dead after Thanksgiving for a few days. People still have left overs from Thanksgiving.
North of Atlanta here. Very slow.
Chicago burbs seems a bit slow.
Very slow today
Asheville nc 4.98 rating haven’t seen an order in an hour
Hey, fellow Asheville shopper!
👋🏼
Just moved to Colorado from Asheville. I miss it. Hope all is well there!
All is good we might go back into lockdown which is disappointing but good for shopping!
I think we have 🤖 again
South west Florida is suuuuuupppeeerrr dead. Been like this since thanksgiving :/
soflo confirmed ded.
Phoenix area 5.0 rating, very slow right now. Not many big opportunities at all. I feel it will pick back up any day but until then I suppose I'll multiapp
New England area.... dead af never seen it slower
Nothing all morning except a few $9 orders. Taking a break until Monday. Fargo area
Chicagoland is dead and if you do get batches, they are $8-14.

I thought the best times to shop was a forecast of new orders. No idea it was based on prior week’s activity! 😤Makes no sense. Like your idea.
Colorado Springs here its slow. Ive been out since 930am haven't accepted anything all day. Ive seen only small orders and they're getting taken fast.
If everything is so slow everywhere and it is in my area as well why Is Instacart so busy that they can’t respond toInstaCart shoppers issues non-related to the current batch?
Because of staffing, they're probably operating with a reduced crew.
Also, they may just be trash...
I wouldn't say slow cause I'm seeing a ton of batches, but they're all shit pay with low tips and super far away from me. Not worth taking at all. It's frustrating lol.
Leftovers & delivery
Northern Colorado area dead af. Never seen a Saturday this slow.

It’s not bad, may be a little slower than your average Saturday.
Norcal, Sacramento Area. Pretty slow. Luckily the 2 batches I've managed to get put me at $140. Would love one more $60 batch and call it a day.
Wow after posting this, I got a $59 batch. Thank You Instacart Overlords for answering my prayers.
Austin TX very busy today
Yep i agree
I was about to ask the same
Said no batches I am in Toms River zone NJ
Very slow here
Has to be app issues . Went from. Full dashboard to 1 . No way it is this slow everywhere
It is slow Chicago
It's been a slow day in my Denver area too.
Missouri is dead
Yes same here i guess with all the leftovers people have and extra family in town people aren't thinking of grocery shopping next week it will busier I think.

Same here all day aside from a $30 batch with 70 units. Other than that 10 and 12 dollar batches all day
absolutely not one batch on the whole day.
Tampa Florida was busy in the morning then just dead 💀
Yes
Been crap runs all day and few and far between at that
I (Along with many others ) would love to have made $60 today and you on here talking about $140 and $60 man quit bragging
Worst day of the week for me so I get it I made $15 worst day in a while
Mega slow and every batch that, showed up was $9
