Instacart shoppers are camping out in parking lots to compete for orders

Bundling orders helps Instacart, but shoppers say that they're a burden

One tutorial sent by email and available on Instacart's shopper app notes that shoppers are"more likely to get batches if you move to these stores." Instacart is also bundling orders more often than it used to, according to the workers. Instacart often puts multiple orders from the same or nearby stores together and sends them to its contractors as one task.

"Multi-order batches have been a part of our earnings structure for many years and represent only a small number of full-service batches," Instacart told Insider."This maximized the time shoppers are earning and waiting on their next batch."A sample screenshot that Instacart sent to shoppers shows that shoppers closer to a store see orders at that store before other shoppers who are farther away.
