Grand Theft Auto: Are Instacart and DoorDash Stealing Your Tips??

Here at RSG, we try to cover what’s important to drivers (rideshare and delivery), which is why when some of you emailed to let us know DoorDash/Instacart might have been doing something shady with tips, we had to investigate. It’s now become national news, but are DoorDash and Instacart really stealing delivery drivers tips? Senior RSG contributor and deliverer extraordinaire Dash Bridges takes a look into this claim and more.

Over the last couple weeks, we’ve seen a lot of outrage over allegations that Instacart (and DoorDash, AND Amazon Flex) has been stealing your hard-earned customer tip money. Is this true?!?

No.

Technically, no. Not really.

Eh. It might depend on how you define ‘tip’.

We’re back with our final installment of Instacart in 2018, a series of posts in which we sent RSG contributor Dash Bridges to cover what it’s like delivering with Instacart. Part III of his series on Instacart, Dash covers what everyone wants to know: how much did he earn working for Instacart?

Earlier this year, I tried to work for Instacart to see how it compared to my DoorDash experience. I wrote about my onboarding experience here. In summary, the app and attention to detail impressed me. The $12.50/hr guarantee did not.

My next article described my first shift, including shopping for food, pre-shopped pickups, challenges and other observations. In my first 4.5 hour shift, I averaged $15.53/hr. Not great, but hey, just my first time.

So now, finally, please allow me to wrap up the loose ends of my Instacart story. As with all of my articles, the ONLY payment I’ll receive for this writing is from the Rideshare Guy. I’m not a corporate shill and I don’t have any conflicts of interest. Without further ado…

We’re back with another update from RSG contributor Dash Bridges, who we sent to cover what it’s like delivering with Instacart. In Part II of his series on Instacart, Dash covers his first day on the job, how much he made and more.

Becoming an Instacart Shopper

In my previous article, I described how being an Instacart shopper has its own twist on the delivery space. As you may recall, instead of delivering meals or people, Instacart’s model allows the customer to order a detailed list of items from a big box store (Safeway, Costco, Whole Foods, etc) and have them delivered to their door.

You’re all probably familiar with popular RSG contributor Dash Bridges, who typically writes and answers reader questions about DoorDash. You may even remember he really prefers DoorDash to Postmates. So we decided to challenge him by asking him to sign up and document his experience with Instacart (referral link). What is Instacart, how much does it pay, and what’s the process like? Dash covers it all here!

Do you want to be an Instacart driver?

I’m going to be honest with you, my valued readers. The low-hanging fruit of DoorDash articles, i.e. “Tips to Maximize Your DoorDash Cash”, are gone. Other than compensation initiatives or comparing earnings over time, there isn’t a lot of breaking news for Dashing. You sign in. You receive orders. You deliver orders. You wait for your next order. Then at some point, you sign out and go home. Not much fertile ground.

Thankfully, to challenge my ennui, the Rideshare Guy High Council of Elders proposed an honorable endeavor. “Wanna try being an Instacart driver and write about your experience?”

“Sure. OK.” (And then to self, “What’s Instacart again?”)
