My Costco 3-order batch today almost made me question all my life choices 😭

I don’t care if a batch pays $500, I think today officially broke my spirit. I am typing this from the parking lot while taking a deep breath.

​Here is how my little descent into chaos went down today:

​The Blind Scavenger Hunt: Instacart gave me zero aisle numbers. Zero location tags. Just vibes and giant boxes hidden somewhere behind a maze of outdoor patio furniture.

​The Cardio Workout: Every time I finally made it to the opposite side of the store, ping! Customer A added paper towels (back to the front). Ping! Customer C added organic berries (back to the back). I got my steps in for the month.

​The Checkout Tetris Ruined: I spent so much time carefully separating Order A, B, and C with extra boxes in my cart. I stepped up to the register, hit them with a friendly "Hi! This is 3 separate orders," and the cashier and other workers just went into full autopilot. They started grabbing random items out of all three sections and dumping them onto the belt like a game show.

​Escalated Chaos: When I gently tried to stop the scramble, the cashier got annoyed and sent me over to a supervisor. Plot twist: the supervisor did the exact same thing! Order C items were getting scanned onto Order A’s receipt with total confidence.

​The Parting Gift: As I was wheeling my freshly scrambled cart out the door, I overheard the supervisor complaining to the receipt checker about how annoying Instacart shoppers are. Bestie, you are the one who just merged three people's groceries into one giant mystery box!

​Look, if Costco secretly hates doing Instacart orders, they really shouldn't partner with the app! We're just out here trying to get people their bulk snacks.

​Anyway, I’m currently sitting out here in the heat re-sorting three massive orders on my bumper so nobody gets someone else's 50-pack of toilet paper.

​Send help (or ice cream).
