I grabbed 7 Kroger pickup jobs and see tons of the self-checkout and regular check-out jobs. I've done the pickup before, but not the checkout ones. In my area they pay $9 and reimburse $9. Anyone done these? I'm curious if they'd be worth my time.

Oh man, I see no pickups. Wonder if I missed ALL of them or if they are coming out at different times in different regions.
Still plenty of them in Southern California. Can you drive to Malibu?

Yeah, I don't see any pickup jobs at all. Wonder if there weren't any or if somehow I could be blacklisted... hope not!!

I started doing the in store shops last month. They’re not too bad. You can preview the guidelines before accepting. I tend to save my produce for the in store shops so I can make sure it’s not moldy or bruised ????

I thought they would take a long time too, that’s why I held off for so long. If there’s not a wait for checkout, maybe 10-15 minutes in store? Takes a little bit to walk the sections and “send a text” (get names and shop details). Then the form takes a bit longer than the pickup, but not noticeable enough for me to complain about since it’s multiple choice.
I’d be curious if this aligns with the time other shoppers take. Maybe I need to move faster.

I'll have to try some out. There are no pickups in my area. I was hoping to be able to do two at one location to make it more worthwhile. I do find it takes a while to get all the required items in budget for online so maybe it's a little easier picking up three items in store. It would all just be better if gas wasn't sky high!

You're welcome to buy more than three items. Three is the minimum. And same thing with the pickups. You can do a lot larger of an order than just the minimum amount.

It takes me an average of 25 to 30 minutes in store, the longest has been 55 minutes. I'm in a rural area and the three stores I shop seldom have more than one produce clerk working at a time so there can be extra time waiting for the clerk. (I've done these shops often enough that I know when the produce clerk takes lunch break.)
I try not to do my shops around 5:00 pm; on the day I took 55 minutes I was there around 5:15 pm and the checkouts were filled with after work shoppers, two cashiers were working and I couldn't use self checkout.

You are only required to visit visit the produce department 2 times in an attempt To speak to an associate in the produce department. You are not required to wait for them to return from their break or from their lunch.
