It’s the same as when a shopper doesn’t leave a decent tip for the server because the shop won’t cover it.

I did another one last week and I only needed a few items so filled in the balance or the order with things like t. paper, kleenex, etc. No need to buy anything you don't need or can't use. And I would have given the meat to someone (friend, neighbor) unless you needed the refunded money.

Yeah! There's always non perishable foods you can stock up on. I bought cereal. I didn't get canned foods, but those are always good! especially spaghetti sauce, canned beans, veggies...
hopefully the meat was sent to one of those animal sanctuaries. (i watched Tiger King on Netflix earlier this summer and one thing i remembered was that a lot of "expired" or close to expiring meat from walmart went to the sanctuary for the lions and tigers.

@HonnyBrown how did you know that the store was using a 3rd party delivery service? Did it say that somewhere. I am looking at a delivery shop and I want to make sure I don't make that mistake.

At two locations yesterday the store tracked my car via their app so when I pulled into the parking lot the associate was standing there with my groceries.
Unfortunately another location has a $30 pickup min (and the place is so overpriced it's not worth it) so I'll have to cancel.
I will say that the scheduler for this program is exceedingly responsive, replying to all my questions and requests within seconds, even on nights/weekends.

Has anyone done one for delivery using Instacart? I read somewhere that their delivery fee is high?

Then I took one at a well-known coffee chain. My confirmation screen on the website didn't show the purchase price of the order, just acknowledged that I had ordered. I took the screen shot anyway. My email confirmation didn't have the order price either .... just to make things more screwy, you had to create a reloading "e card" and use the funds in your "e card" to make the purchase. My confirmation email showed only the amount I had loaded on my "e card" so I took a screen shot of that and submitted it.

Anyone else finding these things to be pure disorganization on the part of the MSC? First, I took an in-store pickup shop at a specific supermarket location, then had to cancel when it turned out the location doesn't offer in-store pickup.

After letting my report sit without action for several days, the MSC just contacted me wanting a photo of the actual order price. Well I'd be glad to give it to you if I'd actually been sent one, but I wasn't. So I just sent the scheduler an email explaining my situation. We'll see.
Just to top it all off, I took another one for the supermarket chain, this one a delivery shop at a different location. Once again, the confirmation screen on the website didn't show the total price for the order. The email confirmation did, however, so I took a screen shot of that. The questionnaire wants a photo of the website confirmation WITH PRICE and another one of the confirmation email. Except the website confirmation DIDN'T HAVE THE PRICE. So I submitted the email shot with price twice, while I've saved the "priceless" website confirmation in case they want it. Again, we'll see.
It seems like this MSC has no earthly idea how their clients operate online and is just tossing us into the deep end to try to figure out this mess for ourselves. I'm about done with these ecommerce shops, not worth the stress.
It's based on the West Coast but its locations are everywhere and I mean everywhere. The one that takes its name from a character in Moby Dick. And I used the website, not the app.@SoCalMama wrote:

If it's the West Coast coffee chain, then when you use the app, you can see the order amount. I'm 100% sure of that. I used to order from there and submit receipts for an MSC that gave me a per diem allowance.
