Instafart

Got in with them. It's all I can hope for to muster up some bread and butter apparently. It's hard to describe the job. It's not impossible to accomplish. It's just tough in the sense that you can't easily navigate Manhattan. I can imagine pulling this gig in a less crowded metropolis would be so much nicer.

But I actually like it. People are nice when you get there, it's like not bad really. You help others out who are trying to shop and feed their families. Simple, straight forward stuff.

Of course a few lazy people don't want to go shop themselves.

I can tell you all this though. When you order food and stuff, it's not hand picked and then privately nicely sent to your door at all. It's packaged up and shelved and put in a fridge or freezer next to a bunch of other people's orders. It's VERY EASY to miss a bag for someone, or to take the wrong bag.

The app today did not tell me that I missed a bag so I wasted time going back to get it, that kind of thing happens... Truth be told, yeah I must have scanned it then left it by accident. The app is flawed though and will need to be updated. The slider that allows you to check off that you finished an order needs a prompt that asks you if you want to confirm finishing an order, or else like today I swiped it by accident and it told the customer that I delivered the thing but I was still out looking for the address. Got the goddamn company calling me because the customer called about it. WELL, how about a prompt. You don't just hit the off button on your computer and it turns off. It asks you if you really mean it...

Not a fan of manhattan, too many damn rich people living there, not something I'm used to seeing or being around, maddening to be me running around manhattan all night. Not something I enjoy.... I mean it's like being poor man surrounded by gold. Yeah I won't lie. I wouldn't mind smashing some of all the goddamn sexy women walking around half naked down there, hell yeah... Just to me, it's not funny. Cover the f up. Gonna mess up drivers trying to concentrate because OH MY GOD, such hotness... jesus christ. I don't know maybe I'm getting old, but yeah it does kinda make me wonder how those girls were raised to basically end up in life trying to be walking talking porn stars for all to see... then I remember I've never met a sane female in my life... not surprised...

Oh well, it's the simplicity that I like about it. It's straight forward, no punch in, no bullcrap supervisor up your ass. You go, deliver, then just piss off and go home. That's how all jobs should work. Don't get personal, just knock it out and bounce. Why is that so hard to get in life... will be hopefully making decent bread and moving forward with my plans to advance towards a CDL license and Taxi license, so I'll always have that to fall back on in the future. This is definitely a nice platform to use to jump towards better jobs if you're interested in trying it.
