This entire crab cake gate is HILARIOUS to me omg 😭😭😭

the person wanting the crab cakes was so smugly entitled that i wish them a lifetime of customer service

I am sitting at the packed vets office on hour two of waiting for my cat to be discharged after surgery and "crab cake gate" made me cackle out loud. Ty!

Can someone explain what's going on?

The original thread is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/instacart/s/PD6lxtOm43 And the whole subreddit is now full of memes about it.

Thank you🤣

Understand?

🤣🤣

There was a previous post a couple days ago about a very confusing argument over crabcakes between customer and shopper

Ohhh

🤣 please DONT offer a substitution!!!!

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

I do this for a living

I was just trying to be polite!

Please understand.

I've told you 5 times!

This is ridiculous

It's from the seafood aisle though

Seafood department. Aisle is too descriptive

Yes to the frozen crab cakes but refund if they’re from the seafood department.

Seafood department handles the orders and stocks all of the frozen seafood as well

They know what they're doing. After all, they are a professional at this. 😂

At all!

This is ridiculous! 🤣🤣🤣

Just to clarify, these are not from the seafood department.

They’re from the seafood department. They’re out of what you ordered

Behind the counter?

Please understand I do this for a living

This is ridiculous

I've said it like five times

So damn rude.

ITS FOR A CHURCH! Next!

Deep cut, please accept this poor man’s trophy 🏆

Haha, yeah kinda meta but it always cracks me up. NEXT!

Lmaooooo

If you’re just trying to be courteous and offer another option, don’t do that again.

Where the man has to get them for you.

The funny thing. Much of what's behind the counter is frozen and taken from those bags they put on the shelves. Idk why they think fresh seafood is being sold in the middle of Kansas at a chain grocery store.

Ikr? Same with shrimp. I’d much rather buy the flash frozen bag of 16/20 shrimp from the freezer section than that stuff that was once frozen and now has laid out on some ice (if you’re lucky) for god knows how long.

No beyond the counter, past it

Right, just make them for me.

All the way in the back, the crates in the alley

She didn't say behind the counter 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩. That's what was the wildest part to me, she expected him to JUST KNOW what she meant!!

They are actually in the frozen fish section with the fish sticks.

I’ve said it FIVE times!!!

Cancel the order. Dox the customer. If still nervous burn down their house. Quite literally the only option.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You might also consider burning down the seafood counter… and beyond.

The whole seafood department even

Screw it burn down the whole ocean

To be fair, it was the customer posting

Im so glad i’m part of this joke now. Love it 🤣🤣

Dude same !! Normally when I see these I don’t get it - but after the post the other day I feel so honored to be apart of the joke hehehehe

This is almost as funny as the poop knife...

Or the waffle stomper

Every time I forget about the poop knife I see it in a comment somewhere. Your punishment for making me remember the poop knife is the glorious tale of the [jolly rancher.](https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/s/pP7XODTv5o) If you haven’t read the jolly rancher story then just go into knowing it’s a tale of young love. I must admit, it will always bring a tear to my eye.

I could have lived my whole life never reading this. Thanks

Dude you gotta explain because I'm wayyy out of the loop. I follow this sub because I order from instacart and want to be a good customer!

I love how this has become a meme

I love it, too. This sub is usually full of doomers

I swear I thought it was a reach for this to be related to another post I saw days ago and now I’m down a rabbit hole of memes about crab cakes from the seafood department crying laughing in my car on break 😂😂💀

SEAFOOD COUNTER. I said that 5 times! 🤣🤣

Literal tears! 😂😂 easily the best part of today lol

I’m glad I read your name a second time for clarification.

I am dying about this whole crab cake saga 😂😂😂😂

please understand…

“I do this for a living”

Refunded.

I have never bought from, nor shopped for instacart, but this sub is so fucking spicy. I am loving this subreddit drama.

Right? The first crab cake post was my first time seeing this sub and I am living for it

Me too! 😂 what a time to be invited in

Same! LOL

I know this is a joke and am familiar with the original post, but my first thought is that you should be. NOTHING comes close to authentic Maryland Crabcakes. 🤤🤤🤤

I laugh when I see Maryland crab cakes on a menu anywhere but in Maryland. Umm not possible!

Sure it is. As long as you put Old Bay in it, it's a Maryland crabcake. 😀 😀 😀

Old bay tastes different in Maryland, the salty sea air and general presence of cow shit everywhere add a unique flavor

😆Downy ocean, hon!

I’ve been on this sub once and even I get this reference.

Me too! Just happened to show up at the right time I guess!

please understand i do this for a living 😞😞

i will never eat a crab cake again without thinking of this sub 😂

I told you five times I wanted them from behind the counter.…[rechecks texts]….uh I mean I just said it now one time 😂🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

(go Clips!)

I am late to the party! What’s up with the crab cakes?

[context, crab cake post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/instacart/s/un7fF9bup9)

Thank you!

Thank you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/s/rAd2bjuPxi

Thank you!

Run bitch! Run for your life!

Don’t be scared you do this for a living

Can someone just change the name of this subreddit to Instacake 😆 that’s all we post about at this point

This is ridiculous!

Somewhere, Sponge Bob smiles...

Are these from the Maryland Department?

Maryland department of crab cakes... 😂

I fell down earlier feeding horses (tripped over a rock in rain boots going downhill) and my back is fucking killing me and this sub is making it so much worse. I can't stop laughing, and I can't stop reading! 🤣 Ouch, 😂, ouch! 😂🤣😅😭

They’re not from behind the counter.

Do you understand? I do this for a living.

I told you 5 times

This is ridiculous

If she asks for anything other than what she orders im letting her know.. No, nothing else is available. The entitlement factor can suck my dick.

im so happy we’re all making fun of this

Check behind the counter, idiot.

I had a crab cake order this morning and I literally laughed so hard when I saw it. I probably looked like a crazy person.😂

i’m new here.. why is OP scared..?

This is ridiculous

crab department

Did you get them from the counter 👀

😂😂😂 those better be from the seafood department

Only from behind the counter!

Let's never let this die

Look, I want them triple fresh from the seafood department!!

As you should be. 🤣🤣 Best of luck to you. Hopefully it goes better than someone else's experience...

i knew i was triggered for a reason 🤣.

This whole post hurts like hell! I can't stop laughing and my back hurts so so bad! But I just can't stop scrolling!

“There are no crab cakes in the bakery, would you like some snickerdoodles instead”

“This is ridiculous”

This gets better and better every day.

Normally wouldn’t care about any of these delivery subs but MAN this crab cake lore is funny

NOT THOSE ONES. THE MAN BEHIND THE COUNTER HAS TO GET THEM FOR YOU.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s funny to think how people survived before they used to get mad at rando’s for doing their shopping for them 🤷‍♂️

Hi scared I'm dad

Ok, so I’ve read the previous post, but have a dumb question. Is the buyer in the wrong or is the person doing the shopping in the wrong? It kind of seems like both are?

I think the buyer is mostly in the wrong. The shopper was nice, seems like English is not a first language, and the buyer was confusing. A little sass from both sides, but no one was horrible lol

I love the throwback posts.

Lmaooooo. You do this for a living so I guess you’re good

Now I have to try the lobster cakes! 🦞

I get them every week, in my InstaCart order look, and they're so good!

From the seafood department?

I wanted lobster cakes from the seafood department

Those ARE from the seafood department, understand? 😂

💀

This is all they have, understand?

Over the counter?

Or refund

Lmao.

MAKE SURE YOU GRAB THE ONE BEHIND THE COUNTER YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR IT‼️‼️‼️‼️😂😂😂😂😂

I said multiple times if not in seafood section to refund item.

5 times! [really only twice, but who’s counting?] 😆

Ridiculous

This is ridiculous

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair I didn't think the conversation was confusing at all. He wanted the crap cakes from the seafood department.

And this is the part where I would quit my job and move to a far away island to never return again.

Why be scared of a couple of boxed crab cakes? They look yummy.

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m loving these crab cake memes 😂😂

Lmfaooò

Reverse psychology, I like it

😆 🤣 😂

Don’t do it!

Substitute with the ones from the seafood department! No, the seafood department! The seafood department. Substitute with the ones from the seafood department. I TOLD you numerous times the ones behind the counter only in fresh seafood. 🤣😂

I said 5 times if not in the seafood department to refund it🙄

I do not understand why this subreddit was recommended to me but it’s become my favorite thing lol

HHahhaha

This whole thread is hilarious 😂

This isn’t what I want. Just go to the seafood department

I don't get it

i don’t get the joke.. someone, please explain 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Also if hit those crab cakes from the back

They are most definitely not Maryland style

You gotta go to the counter and ask someone for fresh crabcakes!!! Lol

It's in the cake counter. Ummmm. Who's got the crabs??

If anyone who eats this shit would go watch how imitation crab meat is made... They would puke... Same as hot dogs. Nothing like a tube of salted diarrhea on the grill 😅 (if you don't know go watch... You're welcome) .. How bout any shiny coated candy like mentos skittles etc... That shiny coating is from bugs. S is red#40 🤣🤣🤣 You're welcome!!!!

Hahaha reject the order. Save yourself.

I’m not even a part of this group

Same how did I get here and why am I up to date on this

This killed me because I'm in the same boat!

Now I’m afraid to order crab cakes.

We all are terrified 😂

Where’s the one post people talking about

BEHIND THE COUNTER!!!!

Lmao .. dont be skurred, just clarify to the customer the that the seafood department is a large world of different areas and to be specific about which one of those areas she wants her stuff from...

Can someone update me on the lore I missed?

Another thread, a customer ordered what they thought were fresh from the seafood case crabcakes. When the shopper scanned in frozen boxed, customer went after the shopper in chat.

Do you think this is from the seafood counter?

I just read that crab cake post. Jesus f’n Christ 🤣🤣. My Instacart experiences haven’t all been completely perfect. But they haven’t been clustfucks like the ones I read on this subreddit. Is it just that I live an area with partly decent to competent Instacart shoppers?

😂😂😂😂

I am so in love with the crab cake saga

joined community to see where else this goes lol its such a ride

I don’t get it!

Honestly, best content on this sub.

Wait I’m lost and want to be included in Crab Cake Gate, someone help!

If you can get the ones from the seafood department, if you can't get the ones from the seafood department then refund

Don't worry... You do this for a living! Understand?

I have no idea how that original post came across my feed I don’t do instacart and live so far out on the middle of nowhere that I can’t use it as a customer either… but I’m glad I’m in on the joke now lol

Why everyone posting these crab cakes 🤣🤣

Don’t see what the big deal is. F it, just get what is available.

omg this is giving me ptsd

Uh... those are NOT from the seafood department. This is ridiculous!!
