I'm not sure who these are for, but it definitely isn't me.

According to some back-of-the-napkin math I did:

- Most items are marked up 16%

- There's a ~$5-15 service fee (that's WITH Instacart+)

- And most of the sources I saw showed that you should tip between 10-20% (which they deserve, given what I've seen of how they're paid).

While I could absolutely see using the service if I was having a party and couldn't leave to pick up some forgotten items, paying $60-80 extra on top of my $200 grocery bill is too rich for my blood.
