Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast, Elvis.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Fifteen minute morning show. All right, bad jew alert?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Uh oh what huh Scotty, Well, let's figure out who
it is out of this.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Oh wait, you're not supposed to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Nobody's supposed to be here, all right? All right, dever
Cox one hit wonder Yes, no, devil Cox had several hits.
Oh sorry, yeah, you know today is Yam Kapor, the
Jewish day of atonement, and I can atone here. I've
just been thinking about all the bad things I've done
and uh, be a better person. But uh, you know,
(00:51):
I'd like to be around all you people, so here
I am.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Have you been a bad boy?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I have not been a bad boy, Scotty.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
What's the worst thing you've done that you'd like to
atone for in the last year.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
You just said you were thinking about all the bad
things you've done.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
They're not that bad. No, I haven't done anything like
nothing stands out So it sound like I robbed a
bank or anything.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Maybe there was something a shop right that you know,
rang up wrong and I didn't tell them. I have
to tell you, I do feel guilty every once in
a while, like to the wrong price will ring up.
But then I'm like, you know what, they ripped me
off on something else one time, so now or even yeah,
you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Did you hear Wegmans had to stop that self checkout
scanning app because of overwhelming theft in the store. Yeah,
because you had this app right that you would just
scan the items, put them in the bag in your cart,
and then walk out of the store without going through
any self checkout or yeah, and I would see people
just hold the phone up to the thing their card.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They didn't scan shit nothing. I think that's how the
new Amazon Fresh is going to because they're opening one
of those near me and it's it's been under construction
for three years already, and I think that they're trying
to work out the kinks because the people have got
to steal things. It's very easy.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
I would think, you know what, I did that when
I was in Seattle, because you know they test all
the Amazon stuff in Seattle. So I did that Amazon
Fresh one where you walk in and you just take
what you wanted and you walk out. And I couldn't
believe it. I was like, there's no freaking way this
is gonna work.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
And it did.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
I went to my Amazon app. It everything got charged
to it. It was exact like this is insane, But
that was years ago. I'm surprised it took so long
to come here.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
See, I've never purposely not scanned something and walked out
with it, because I mean, that is obviously theft. You
know that. I feel guilty, so I always do the
self checkout, but I always scan everything.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So you're toning for stealing supermarket thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't steal things from the supermarket.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Okay, it just doesn't correct it. If there's a problem,
I can.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Appreciate that lower than it's supposed to be. I'm not
going to say, oh, by the way, they's supposed to
be a dollar more, you know, I'm.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Gonna say I wouldn't even notice because I don't always
look at the things as I scan them, so I
just kind of assume everything rang up the way it should,
which is very Unindian of me. But every now and
then I'm sure something gets in there that was either
too high or too low.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Can you qualify that statement for the Indian people?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, those listening.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I feel like Scotty might appreciate this or know this
more than anyone else. But Indian people will watch the
register while they're checking out, and if something is off
by two cents, they're like, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean, hello, that's not check out myself. I like
to watch it.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, they'll argue back and forth about everything. It's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
No, but I've called the attendant over and said, hey,
you know, this was on the shelf for two ninety
nine and I rang up three twenty nine, Like thirty cents.
Pisces me off. So I'll tell because then everybody's getting
charged thirty cents more. So I'm saving everybody else.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
You're like the superman a supermarkets. That's right, but you
know what else is so annoying?
Speaker 8 (03:41):
Come on in the damn check out aisle. Please put
your eye. I'm in the bagging. It's in the bagging place.
I don't understand. It's just not heavy enough, you don't
you Just that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Got so annoying and in my shop right that they
stopped it. It doesn't matter, like it doesn't you don't
have to put it on the scale thing anymore. It's
just whatever. They still doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
So many times I would like, we needed maple syrup
the one morning, so I go and I go to
the self checkout and I got maple SYRF and I'm
just holding it and it wouldn't let me proceed until
I set something like I'm just holding that fucking bottle.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
And then and then, god forbid you put anything, like
you put your wallet down over there. Something is in
the bagging section that doesn't belong an alien something, Please
take it out.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
I'm like, are you fucking kidding me right now?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Scotty?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Are you like rain Man when you're checking out though
you know the prices of everything as you're checking out?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Sadly, yes, I know how much things are supposed to
be so that way, if it does ring up more,
I know that it rang up more, and I have
to have someone come over and correct it.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I got real pissed the other day because I do
like the Instacart and you know, Scotty is a shopper
for Instacart, but he's awesome. He's a great Instacart chopper.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
I am this person. I said I wanted green bananas.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
They got me plantains, and I'm like, oh my god,
is a big difference between green bananas and plantains. And
I had to send a picture so I could get
a credit, so I don't care you're crediting me two bucks.
I don't have my bananas. This is the problem now,
it's it's like a lazy man's way to shop. I
swear to got it's the most awesome thing ever invented.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Yeah, we put that we wanted hummus one time and
the guy got us a bag of chickpeas.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I got to tell you that, you know, instact as
a as a shopper. If they don't have what you
ask for, instacart will make recommendations and you could just
you can replace it.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Really, you promised.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You're supposed to. You're supposed to check with the customer
to see if it's okay with them, But at the time,
they're not paying attention and you don't have time to
wait around for them to answer, so you just grab whatever, Scotty.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
How long have you waited in the supermarket waiting for
a response back for someone to say this is okay
to get instead of this.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I I wait about five minutes and then I will
call them. They generally don't answer because it comes from
an un you know, no known number, and then I
just either refund the item where I get something that's
close to it. Great story.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Sometimes the thing that replaces it is better to be honest.
I found that like, oh I like this actually better.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
But sometimes I'm like, really do they have like reviews
for the shoppers?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oh yeah, I'm five stars, baby.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Give extra You can give extra tips if you want,
Like if they went above and beyond, you can say, oh,
they begged you know, they were a great bagger, they were.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
A great this.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Can I go out of my way to request you?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Then, Scottie, Oh, it doesn't work that way. That's because
if you get a good.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Massage, you're like, I'm going to go to that massuse again.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Sorry they should be able to but here you just
you get what you get.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, do you foil the system when when you did
it for Danielle?
Speaker 8 (06:41):
No, he didn't. This is the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
He he came to New Jersey and I tried to
get him, so I put it in order and he
was waiting so that he could grab it. Because you
got you you know, you gotta grab him when they
come through. And it never came through for him to grab,
so he couldn't.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
He couldn't help me.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Thank you for a speedy and accurate delivery Smiley fan.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hey, no, no offense to instacart shoppers and people who
do the shopping for you, But I can't use them
because they never shop in my best interest. I see
them when I'm at the grocery store and I'm watching
They're not checking for like the expiration date that is
the furthest in the future. Maybe you do Scotty hold on,
(07:20):
but that's not everybody. They just a lot of these
people deal in volume, and I see how fast they're going,
and they'll just grab a decrepit like they won't check
the egg box to see if one open up the eggs.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And I open and I checked the undercarriage of each
egg to make sure it's not cracked. Do you think
that these shoppers that do.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
It for you are doing that for you?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
No? The when when I when I shop for people,
I shop as if I'm shopping for myself.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's you, though, But a lot of these people are
just it's a cash grab hold. They're just trying to
get as many orders in as possible. I've seen them
in Whole Foods. Just did I just call them out?
So those Amazon people that are in there, they're going fast.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'm not what do you want to say, Scotty, listen
to this one best shopper ever checked expiration dates, found
options for replacements, quick delivery. Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
But you know what though, I agree it was scary though,
because we did it one time where we had whatever
it was Instacart or I don't know if it was
Whole Foods that was putting our bag together, and I'm like,
even a blind person wouldn't have picked this bag of chicken.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was like all fat, Yes, discuss.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You can't have them select your meats and your fish,
your I mean your produce.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I got. I got brown spots on one of my apples.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Another time I wanted specifically Nancy's low fat cottage cheese.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's no, yes, no, I have been. I know, I've
been sitting there and I'm like and I'm like, they
brought me the one that was not Nancy's.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
They were they took a replacement, and I didn't ask
for replacement because if it's not Nancy's, I.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Don't want it. Nancy made cottage.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No, Nancy's the best. It's actually probiotics. No, they're not
not a click it should bet they've got live.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Cultures and Okay, we get it.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No carriage, I.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Mean the bottom kindercarriage. Yes, I think so is the bottom.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Honey. Can we go around instacart and can we just
reach out to you directly to do grocery shopping for
us and give you a better deal.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I wanted to start doing that. I think that I should.
I should start a service, but I just don't want
to get overwhelmed. I kind of like to do that's
that's the beauty of instacart. And you can just kind
of do it whenever you want, and you're not on
a schedule, just no, I trust you. Schedule Yeah, I
mean if the same thing. But then I would also
feel bad charging friends, you know, I just want to,
you know, do it for nothing.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
You're charging us, no.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
But you're charging us less still because with instacart, I'm
sure that the groceries probably cost a little bit more
in themselves, and then they take a cut you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
When you use one of those services, you don't get
the sale prices that the stores offer, right, So with me,
I would just charge you the full price for the item,
and I would keep the difference of the sale prices.
How about that that's a good fee.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'd be fine for that, and then I would tip
you still. So it's not that you're not doing us
a service. Your friends and you are working together. It's
a mutually beneficial relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well what I wanted to do, but I'm pretty sure
I would have got kicked off instacart is as I
delivered them. Just hand the just hand the customer a
card and say hey, just call me or text me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And I think I would judge you try How would
they know on freshness and and and uh expiration dates
and things like that and the quality of the products
you bought me?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And I will tip you twenty percent on what my
groceries are. I will do it, no problem.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
But a lot of people wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I tell you, there are people that tip nothing. Yeah, insane, Yes,
that's crazy for nothing. They think you're what they're getting paid,
you know, So I don't. Are you barely? Like okay?
For example, So there, I'll take an order you know
that's probably like forty items and the pay is like
twenty six dollars. So you got to count on the tip,
you know, to make make up for the rest of that,
(10:49):
because that's not what.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Do you get paid from. Look at the order is bigger,
do you get more more of a paycheck for that?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The bigger the order, the more that it is, the
more if there's heavy items, they pay you. It depends.
It depends on what it is. And it also depends
on the region, you know, like there's I noticed that
you get paid less in Florida when I was down
with Froggy, like shop you did. Wait wait wait peanuts.
Wait you've shocked on your vacation. I try to.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, No, it's all relative though. I mean the same
thing with the Uber drivers. They complain in South Florida.
Unfortunately they don't get as much money as they do
driving in New York City, which is under the umbrella
of the Taxi Limousine Commission, which makes sure that their rates.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Are much higher. So I see that. Yeah, that's unfortunate.
That shouldn't be that way. And there are areas where
I know where to linger by the supermarkets where the
people with more money have because they tip more, you know.
I mean I got a thirty seven dollars tip one
time for four items. Oh yeah, that one was easy.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's what that's what. That's what the insta carters do.
They just sit and they wait for them to come
in and they all fight over it.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Did the old ladies answer the door wearing nothing but
a neglige?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I've never seen that well lately. See, the whole thing
is with COVID, it's just dropping go So a lot
of times people just request that you leave it on
their porch and go away.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
You know what the worst part is though, So there's
no bags anymore.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
So depending on the shopper, if you get me, some
shoppers will still get you the bags and get you
the cheap bags because I guess you have to pay
for the more expensive ones.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Some of them will just dump all the items you
ordered on your porch.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
With Let me tell you something. You get me, and
you're gonna get old school plastic grocery bags because I
bought four cases when they banned them.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah it's illegal.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
No it's not. It's not they do. The stores are
just not allowed to give them ount anymore. Wow.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
I want Scotty. I want Scotty every time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Absolutely. What's much easier for me to carry like fifteen
plastic bags at once then two paper bags that tear Scott.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
You gotta do this because I think, not only are
you going to cash in with your own little like
side hustle of instacart. But I think people will come
to you even more because they want to meet you
because you're part of the show and you could you know,
capitalize on that too.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
There is.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Collect a talent fee or something on top of that.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Well, it's like cameo but with purpose.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, it really is God Saves. That's the name of
the app.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yes, God Saves.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
This is you, Scottie.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I had bought that website a long time ago. I
might still own it. Maybe I should do that.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, you should do it right now before we post
this podcast and somebody else goes and buy it.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
And it should be Forget instaccart, forget all those shopping apps.
You want to save more money you shop with shot
Scott's saved.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Yeah, your information.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Then I'll have to quit because it will get too overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Dan, You'll just gave you the first endorsement, right, there's
the commercial.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
But it's your company, so you shouldn't get overwhelmed. If
you're deciding how many of these you do, and you
can hire a couple of people, and you can even
kind of because I bet a bunch of people will
flog you and then you can be choosy and you
can even charge a bigger service fee for people who
want you and can get in get like a waitless going.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Well, that's going. Do your groceries at the.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Hair salon sometimes, you know the better salon. What do
they call the hairdressers? Ye, they call their more money
and there's a wait list for them. So you want me,
then you come a.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Little more yeah, hag question did people order salad from
the salad bars on stuff and these.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Places that would be asking for a friend the instacart person?
Do they do it all away? The limitations? The most
annoying part of it is the deli meat. Oh my god.
You know you choose an order and don't realize that
you have to take like sixteen different you know, a
pound of turkey, you have a pound of bologney, and
you gotta wait on that stupid line for an act
slice thin please at eighth inch. Oh they complain if
(14:29):
you don't get it sliced the right way. Ah. Yeah,
see that's a pain in the ass. I wish they
wouldn't do deli meats, but you have no choice.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
When I had my bearded dragon, I ordered because pet
Goo was one of the things there. So I ordered
live crickets and they allowed you to do it. Well,
right after I got the live crickets, they stopped that.
So I'm like, I don't think they realized.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Got right live crickets.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
And now they have they have bathroom body works on there.
Oh my gosh, it's so dangerous. The hand sanitizers that
I come into my houses crazy, all the different flok
they have.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They have Spirit Halloween on there now too.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
For Holliday they do.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, but that's a pain in the ass because
sometimes they're out of stuff and you're substituting this blood
for that blood.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's annoying, and Scotty hates blood.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Well, if you want him to shop for you, please

Speaker 2 (16:44):
The fifteen Minute Morning Show
What would you talk about on your on your podcast, Elvis.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Fifteen minute morning show. All right, bad jew alert?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Uh oh what huh Scotty, Well, let's figure out who
it is out of this.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Oh wait, you're not supposed to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Nobody's supposed to be here, all right? All right, dever
Cox one hit wonder Yes, no, devil Cox had several hits.
Oh sorry, yeah, you know today is Yam Kapor, the
Jewish day of atonement, and I can atone here. I've
just been thinking about all the bad things I've done
and uh, be a better person. But uh, you know,
(00:51):
I'd like to be around all you people, so here
I am.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Have you been a bad boy?
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I have not been a bad boy, Scotty.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
What's the worst thing you've done that you'd like to
atone for in the last year.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
You just said you were thinking about all the bad
things you've done.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
They're not that bad. No, I haven't done anything like
nothing stands out So it sound like I robbed a
bank or anything.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Maybe there was something a shop right that you know,
rang up wrong and I didn't tell them. I have
to tell you, I do feel guilty every once in
a while, like to the wrong price will ring up.
But then I'm like, you know what, they ripped me
off on something else one time, so now or even yeah,
you know.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Did you hear Wegmans had to stop that self checkout
scanning app because of overwhelming theft in the store. Yeah,
because you had this app right that you would just
scan the items, put them in the bag in your cart,
and then walk out of the store without going through
any self checkout or yeah, and I would see people
just hold the phone up to the thing their card.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
They didn't scan shit nothing. I think that's how the
new Amazon Fresh is going to because they're opening one
of those near me and it's it's been under construction
for three years already, and I think that they're trying
to work out the kinks because the people have got
to steal things. It's very easy.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
I would think, you know what, I did that when
I was in Seattle, because you know they test all
the Amazon stuff in Seattle. So I did that Amazon
Fresh one where you walk in and you just take
what you wanted and you walk out. And I couldn't
believe it. I was like, there's no freaking way this
is gonna work.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
And it did.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
I went to my Amazon app. It everything got charged
to it. It was exact like this is insane, But
that was years ago. I'm surprised it took so long
to come here.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
See, I've never purposely not scanned something and walked out
with it, because I mean, that is obviously theft. You
know that. I feel guilty, so I always do the
self checkout, but I always scan everything.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
So you're toning for stealing supermarket thing.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I don't steal things from the supermarket.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Okay, it just doesn't correct it. If there's a problem,
I can.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Appreciate that lower than it's supposed to be. I'm not
going to say, oh, by the way, they's supposed to
be a dollar more, you know, I'm.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Gonna say I wouldn't even notice because I don't always
look at the things as I scan them, so I
just kind of assume everything rang up the way it should,
which is very Unindian of me. But every now and
then I'm sure something gets in there that was either
too high or too low.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Can you qualify that statement for the Indian people?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah, those listening.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
I feel like Scotty might appreciate this or know this
more than anyone else. But Indian people will watch the
register while they're checking out, and if something is off
by two cents, they're like, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I mean, hello, that's not check out myself. I like
to watch it.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
Yeah, they'll argue back and forth about everything. It's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
No, but I've called the attendant over and said, hey,
you know, this was on the shelf for two ninety
nine and I rang up three twenty nine, Like thirty cents.
Pisces me off. So I'll tell because then everybody's getting
charged thirty cents more. So I'm saving everybody else.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
You're like the superman a supermarkets. That's right, but you
know what else is so annoying?
Speaker 8 (03:41):
Come on in the damn check out aisle. Please put
your eye. I'm in the bagging. It's in the bagging place.
I don't understand. It's just not heavy enough, you don't
you Just that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Got so annoying and in my shop right that they
stopped it. It doesn't matter, like it doesn't you don't
have to put it on the scale thing anymore. It's
just whatever. They still doing that.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
So many times I would like, we needed maple syrup
the one morning, so I go and I go to
the self checkout and I got maple SYRF and I'm
just holding it and it wouldn't let me proceed until
I set something like I'm just holding that fucking bottle.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
And then and then, god forbid you put anything, like
you put your wallet down over there. Something is in
the bagging section that doesn't belong an alien something, Please
take it out.
Speaker 8 (04:23):
I'm like, are you fucking kidding me right now?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Scotty?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Are you like rain Man when you're checking out though
you know the prices of everything as you're checking out?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Sadly, yes, I know how much things are supposed to
be so that way, if it does ring up more,
I know that it rang up more, and I have
to have someone come over and correct it.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
I got real pissed the other day because I do
like the Instacart and you know, Scotty is a shopper
for Instacart, but he's awesome. He's a great Instacart chopper.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
I am this person. I said I wanted green bananas.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
They got me plantains, and I'm like, oh my god,
is a big difference between green bananas and plantains. And
I had to send a picture so I could get
a credit, so I don't care you're crediting me two bucks.
I don't have my bananas. This is the problem now,
it's it's like a lazy man's way to shop. I
swear to got it's the most awesome thing ever invented.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Yeah, we put that we wanted hummus one time and
the guy got us a bag of chickpeas.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I got to tell you that, you know, instact as
a as a shopper. If they don't have what you
ask for, instacart will make recommendations and you could just
you can replace it.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Really, you promised.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You're supposed to. You're supposed to check with the customer
to see if it's okay with them, But at the time,
they're not paying attention and you don't have time to
wait around for them to answer, so you just grab whatever, Scotty.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
How long have you waited in the supermarket waiting for
a response back for someone to say this is okay
to get instead of this.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I I wait about five minutes and then I will
call them. They generally don't answer because it comes from
an un you know, no known number, and then I
just either refund the item where I get something that's
close to it. Great story.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Sometimes the thing that replaces it is better to be honest.
I found that like, oh I like this actually better.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
But sometimes I'm like, really do they have like reviews
for the shoppers?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Oh yeah, I'm five stars, baby.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
Give extra You can give extra tips if you want,
Like if they went above and beyond, you can say, oh,
they begged you know, they were a great bagger, they were.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
A great this.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Can I go out of my way to request you?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Then, Scottie, Oh, it doesn't work that way. That's because
if you get a good.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Massage, you're like, I'm going to go to that massuse again.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Sorry they should be able to but here you just
you get what you get.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now, do you foil the system when when you did
it for Danielle?
Speaker 8 (06:41):
No, he didn't. This is the problem.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I didn't.
Speaker 7 (06:43):
He he came to New Jersey and I tried to
get him, so I put it in order and he
was waiting so that he could grab it. Because you
got you you know, you gotta grab him when they
come through. And it never came through for him to grab,
so he couldn't.
Speaker 8 (06:55):
He couldn't help me.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Thank you for a speedy and accurate delivery Smiley fan.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hey, no, no offense to instacart shoppers and people who
do the shopping for you, But I can't use them
because they never shop in my best interest. I see
them when I'm at the grocery store and I'm watching
They're not checking for like the expiration date that is
the furthest in the future. Maybe you do Scotty hold on,
(07:20):
but that's not everybody. They just a lot of these
people deal in volume, and I see how fast they're going,
and they'll just grab a decrepit like they won't check
the egg box to see if one open up the eggs.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
And I open and I checked the undercarriage of each
egg to make sure it's not cracked. Do you think
that these shoppers that do.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
It for you are doing that for you?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
No? The when when I when I shop for people,
I shop as if I'm shopping for myself.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That's you, though, But a lot of these people are
just it's a cash grab hold. They're just trying to
get as many orders in as possible. I've seen them
in Whole Foods. Just did I just call them out?
So those Amazon people that are in there, they're going fast.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'm not what do you want to say, Scotty, listen
to this one best shopper ever checked expiration dates, found
options for replacements, quick delivery. Thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
But you know what though, I agree it was scary though,
because we did it one time where we had whatever
it was Instacart or I don't know if it was
Whole Foods that was putting our bag together, and I'm like,
even a blind person wouldn't have picked this bag of chicken.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was like all fat, Yes, discuss.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
You can't have them select your meats and your fish,
your I mean your produce.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I got. I got brown spots on one of my apples.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Another time I wanted specifically Nancy's low fat cottage cheese.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's no, yes, no, I have been. I know, I've
been sitting there and I'm like and I'm like, they
brought me the one that was not Nancy's.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
They were they took a replacement, and I didn't ask
for replacement because if it's not Nancy's, I.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Don't want it. Nancy made cottage.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
No, Nancy's the best. It's actually probiotics. No, they're not
not a click it should bet they've got live.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Cultures and Okay, we get it.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
No carriage, I.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Mean the bottom kindercarriage. Yes, I think so is the bottom.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Honey. Can we go around instacart and can we just
reach out to you directly to do grocery shopping for
us and give you a better deal.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I wanted to start doing that. I think that I should.
I should start a service, but I just don't want
to get overwhelmed. I kind of like to do that's
that's the beauty of instacart. And you can just kind
of do it whenever you want, and you're not on
a schedule, just no, I trust you. Schedule Yeah, I
mean if the same thing. But then I would also
feel bad charging friends, you know, I just want to,
you know, do it for nothing.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
You're charging us, no.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
But you're charging us less still because with instacart, I'm
sure that the groceries probably cost a little bit more
in themselves, and then they take a cut you.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
When you use one of those services, you don't get
the sale prices that the stores offer, right, So with me,
I would just charge you the full price for the item,
and I would keep the difference of the sale prices.
How about that that's a good fee.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
I'd be fine for that, and then I would tip
you still. So it's not that you're not doing us
a service. Your friends and you are working together. It's
a mutually beneficial relationship.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Well what I wanted to do, but I'm pretty sure
I would have got kicked off instacart is as I
delivered them. Just hand the just hand the customer a
card and say hey, just call me or text me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And I think I would judge you try How would
they know on freshness and and and uh expiration dates
and things like that and the quality of the products
you bought me?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And I will tip you twenty percent on what my
groceries are. I will do it, no problem.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
But a lot of people wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I tell you, there are people that tip nothing. Yeah, insane, Yes,
that's crazy for nothing. They think you're what they're getting paid,
you know, So I don't. Are you barely? Like okay?
For example, So there, I'll take an order you know
that's probably like forty items and the pay is like
twenty six dollars. So you got to count on the tip,
you know, to make make up for the rest of that,
(10:49):
because that's not what.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Do you get paid from. Look at the order is bigger,
do you get more more of a paycheck for that?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
The bigger the order, the more that it is, the
more if there's heavy items, they pay you. It depends.
It depends on what it is. And it also depends
on the region, you know, like there's I noticed that
you get paid less in Florida when I was down
with Froggy, like shop you did. Wait wait wait peanuts.
Wait you've shocked on your vacation. I try to.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Well, No, it's all relative though. I mean the same
thing with the Uber drivers. They complain in South Florida.
Unfortunately they don't get as much money as they do
driving in New York City, which is under the umbrella
of the Taxi Limousine Commission, which makes sure that their rates.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Are much higher. So I see that. Yeah, that's unfortunate.
That shouldn't be that way. And there are areas where
I know where to linger by the supermarkets where the
people with more money have because they tip more, you know.
I mean I got a thirty seven dollars tip one
time for four items. Oh yeah, that one was easy.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's what that's what. That's what the insta carters do.
They just sit and they wait for them to come
in and they all fight over it.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Did the old ladies answer the door wearing nothing but
a neglige?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I've never seen that well lately. See, the whole thing
is with COVID, it's just dropping go So a lot
of times people just request that you leave it on
their porch and go away.
Speaker 8 (12:05):
You know what the worst part is though, So there's
no bags anymore.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
So depending on the shopper, if you get me, some
shoppers will still get you the bags and get you
the cheap bags because I guess you have to pay
for the more expensive ones.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Some of them will just dump all the items you
ordered on your porch.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
With Let me tell you something. You get me, and
you're gonna get old school plastic grocery bags because I
bought four cases when they banned them.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah it's illegal.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
No it's not. It's not they do. The stores are
just not allowed to give them ount anymore. Wow.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
I want Scotty. I want Scotty every time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Absolutely. What's much easier for me to carry like fifteen
plastic bags at once then two paper bags that tear Scott.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
You gotta do this because I think, not only are
you going to cash in with your own little like
side hustle of instacart. But I think people will come
to you even more because they want to meet you
because you're part of the show and you could you know,
capitalize on that too.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
There is.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Collect a talent fee or something on top of that.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Well, it's like cameo but with purpose.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, it really is God Saves. That's the name of
the app.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yes, God Saves.
Speaker 8 (13:11):
This is you, Scottie.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I had bought that website a long time ago. I
might still own it. Maybe I should do that.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, you should do it right now before we post
this podcast and somebody else goes and buy it.
Speaker 7 (13:19):
And it should be Forget instaccart, forget all those shopping apps.
You want to save more money you shop with shot
Scott's saved.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
Yeah, your information.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Then I'll have to quit because it will get too overwhelming.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Dan, You'll just gave you the first endorsement, right, there's
the commercial.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
But it's your company, so you shouldn't get overwhelmed. If
you're deciding how many of these you do, and you
can hire a couple of people, and you can even
kind of because I bet a bunch of people will
flog you and then you can be choosy and you
can even charge a bigger service fee for people who
want you and can get in get like a waitless going.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
Well, that's going. Do your groceries at the.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
Hair salon sometimes, you know the better salon. What do
they call the hairdressers? Ye, they call their more money
and there's a wait list for them. So you want me,
then you come a.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Little more yeah, hag question did people order salad from
the salad bars on stuff and these.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Places that would be asking for a friend the instacart person?
Do they do it all away? The limitations? The most
annoying part of it is the deli meat. Oh my god.
You know you choose an order and don't realize that
you have to take like sixteen different you know, a
pound of turkey, you have a pound of bologney, and
you gotta wait on that stupid line for an act
slice thin please at eighth inch. Oh they complain if
(14:29):
you don't get it sliced the right way. Ah. Yeah,
see that's a pain in the ass. I wish they
wouldn't do deli meats, but you have no choice.
Speaker 7 (14:36):
When I had my bearded dragon, I ordered because pet
Goo was one of the things there. So I ordered
live crickets and they allowed you to do it. Well,
right after I got the live crickets, they stopped that.
So I'm like, I don't think they realized.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Got right live crickets.
Speaker 7 (14:52):
And now they have they have bathroom body works on there.
Oh my gosh, it's so dangerous. The hand sanitizers that
I come into my houses crazy, all the different flok
they have.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
They have Spirit Halloween on there now too.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
For Holliday they do.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, but that's a pain in the ass because
sometimes they're out of stuff and you're substituting this blood
for that blood.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
It's annoying, and Scotty hates blood.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Well, if you want him to shop for you, please

driving to Jersey. See.
Speaker 5 (15:36):

hold on, that means I don't get it, but that's okay.
You already have all these parameters, so you can just say, hey,

the shopping and that's it. You don't have to get overwhelmed.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Let's go, Scottie.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You know this is actually the better idea you've created,
you know, the first one being the glory whole idea.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Been with our banana brothers, Yeah, never got.

Speaker 2 (16:24):

We're over.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
