Former Instacart worker rips apart \u201csurvival of the fittest\u201d work environment TikTok: robbiesmoonmusicA former Instacart shopper ripped into how horrible it was working for the app for a year. Working for food delivery services has many perks. For example, you can choose your hours, you\u2019re in the comfort of your own vehicle, and your favorite music gets to play all day while driving. However, for Robbie, who is a former Instacart shopper, the work environment wasn\u2019t so suitable for his liking. Since leaving the job, Robbie has taken to TikTok to rattle off all the reasons why working as an Instacart shopper isn\u2019t worth the hassle. Former Instacart worker put 30,000 miles on his car in one year Robbie worked for Instacart for a year. Although he\u2019s no longer employed there, he recently shared insight into what it was like working for the app. In his viral TikTok video explaining the many reasons he wouldn\u2019t advise anyone to work for the app, he began saying, \u201cAs someone who did Instacart as his full-time job for a whole f*cking year a couple years back, my mental health got so bad doing Instacart as a full-time job, that I have never been lower in my entire life.\u201d He said that, sure, it\u2019s possible to make $250 a day, but at what cost? He revealed that he put over $30,000 miles on his car, which was also stolen during a delivery. Not only that, but you\u2019d have to work 8-10 hours a day to make over $200 in tips. He then dug into how the app offers no benefits or \u201cprotection\u201d for employees, as one customer allegedly lied to customer support about Robbie not delivering their order when he insisted he did. His Instacart app was then deleted and he lost the ability to work under their services. Robbie explained how someone also \u201chacked\u201d his Instacart account and stole all his funds, leaving him with nothing. He added that customer support didn\u2019t do a thing about the situation. Robbie continued to say that working for Instacart was too competitive. Also, other employees could steal your order quicker than you were able to accept it as yours. Since leaving the job, Robbie has kept busy by sharing comical and relatable bits on TikTok, as he has over 224K followers. Though his time with Instacart is long over, he did mention that he felt it was his \u201ccivil duty\u201d to advise people to not work for the app, as he noted that the working conditions were like the \u201csurvival of the fittest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
