Instacart Shoppers Say They’d Rather Quit and Work for McDonald’s or Doordash After the Company Slashed Their Minimum Order Pay From $7 to $4

Instacart shoppers are expressing discontent and considering leaving the platform after the company reduced their base pay for filling orders from $7 to as low as $4. Many workers argue that the compensation is no longer worth the effort, considering the additional tasks involved in navigating grocery stores and communicating with customers about out-of-stock items. Some are even looking into other gig options or traditional jobs, stating that companies like McDonald's or DoorDash now offer more attractive pay rates.
