    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Shoppers, the term Instacart gives to the gig workers that fulfill orders, are then prompted to slide a button on-screen to acknowledge the requirement.

    One shopper in Oregon told Insider that the receipt policy prevents customers from seeing how much more they pay for items by ordering through Instacart.

    TikTok user vane.ssota posted a video last month showing her paper receipt from an Instacart order from a Ralph’s grocery store in California.

    Another Instacart shopper in Virginia recalled a recent order where packs of soda were on sale at a grocery store.

    In North Carolina, another Instacart shopper told Insider about a recent trip that involved buying an expensive bottle of wine.

    The shoppers Insider spoke with said they don’t get a cut of any service fees or item markups in their pay.

        “Good Bot” “Bad Bot” was done on Reddit because there was a “Bot Ranks” service watching for that feedback and aggregating results on the https://botranks.com website. That’s one of the many services that are drifting into oblivion after the reddit API changes.

        I don’t think there are any bot ranking services running on lemmy yet, but it’s very technically possible and it wouldn’t surprise me if one springs up.
