I might get down voted, but hey here I go. I'm just gonna say this is rather sexist. There be guys in my fam/friend that are decent shoppers. Also had a few Instacarts where they did a good job on foods I selected and asked for alts. Things are different on a case-by-case basis.

This is like a person saying that if they see a stereotypical black person's name, they cancel the order because they never get the order right. If you agree that my example is wildly racist, you should also agree that what she is saying is hella sexist.

If you're so picky on who *shops for you* go out, get your own damn groceries and stop being a sexist. Every time I've used Instacart (all 3 times) it was a woman who was shopping. And each time she faffed it up. So seriously? Be an adult and go get your own groceries if you're that picky.

What's funny is if a guy was on there putting up messages about how women are stupid and he only took orders from men instacart shoppers this lady personally and the entire internet would be up in arms calling the guy a sexist pig.... But for some reason its totally okay for this lady to go on a sexist rant and have people in agreement with her simply because they're bashing on men. I'm a male, and an excellent shopper, so this lady can go screw her self. Its not a gender issue. Its a stupid and lazy issue

First, if this was being said about a woman, she'd probably be the first one to scream about it. Second, get up off your lazy a*s and do your own shopping.

Her: "Boys are stupid" Also her: you said you wanted a pound of apples, but these are smaller. Should I get you a pound and a half? This is the kind of person that is confused by the question: What's heavier, a pound of iron or a pound of feathers?

I did grocery shopping for my old lady neighbor after her surgery. When making the list, I asked her questions about the produce, color, size, firmness, etc. That stuff is important to me. She got a bit annoyed and said it doesn’t matter. “Just get 4 regular bananas.” Some people don’t care 🤷‍♀️

This is pretty misandrist. This woman should be ashamed of herself for generalizing half the world.

Off topic, but how is it that people are able to afford not only groceries, but people to shop for them? I know, I'm gonna sound SO Lower Middle Class, but paying people to do things I could do myself with a little extra effort just makes me feel guilty and uncomfortable.

If a man ha disrespected ALL women shoppers like this he'd be lambasted. Take your lazy keeper to the store and do your own shopping, lazy. It's not okay to make sexist remarks and discriminate against half the world...even if you are a black woman discriminating against men.

She should get off her a** and shop for herself. If I can do it as a single father, she sure asf can too.

I use to give my husband very detailed lists and he would often mess up. I struggle in supermarkets, so it was worth really talking about it. Now we sit together once a week and plan out our food. He makes the list himself. Because he knows exactly what I want to use something for, he can make substitutions easily. My mum always said my father was terrible at shopping, she thought he got it wrong on purpose. They tried our way. Turned out my dad just hated shopping because he was so sure he would mess up, he quite enjoys it now. Might not solve the instapacker thing, but I think it's got less to do with boys and girls and more to do with having the information to make changes. Pickers I have seen are often youngish boys or grown woman. Obviously an older person is more likely to have cooked more so might look at a list and guess what you want it for.

My last two orders were processed by males. Great communication, they texted me and asked about substitutions. Had wonderful service.

This b***h just got beef with her dad and brothers that is not resolved and now she be sexist to dump all that pent up hate to men who are trying to make a living...how about acknowledging she might be really bad at explaining her s**t.....sexist fuckwad

I'm an Instacart shopper and an Instacart customer and I understand what she means. I rarely have issues when women do my shopping and when I have men do it, there are issues 8/10 times. Thing is, men just aren't minded the same, in most cases, and that's okay. Expecting men and women to be the same is the ridiculous nature of this current social predicament we're in. Sexist or not, it's true. Case in point: my last male shopper replaced bananas with plantains, brought me a savoy cabbage instead of iceberg lettuce, and grapes instead of blackberries, and not as a replacement. I've had good shoppers and bad, but the female ones put in more effort. I still tip everyone and thank them, even if they're not good at it. I think people are too sensitive to accept that maybe there are some things women are typically better at and some things that men are typically better at. It's just nature. Note that I used the words "typically". Nothing is so black and white as always or never.

Everyone is not the same. I am a meticulous shopper who also happens to be male.

I work for shipt and as a male I always keep in contact with my customers, she's being sexist because a few bad eggs didn't get what she wanted

ah, classic sexism!

This is the most first world problem I've heard in a while. The entitlement and prejudice is out of control.

Sexist as Hell. I go shopping myself. Cause I trust no one, assume nothing, and triple check everything. Feminist are upsetting to me.

wow sexist much?

The ignorance level of this article is blindingly painful.... 😑 I am so sick of biological females' radical sexism........ The whole 'girls are better than boys' / 'boys are better than girls' thing..... It IS and SHOULD STAY a child's spat. Anyone old enough to go to high school should have already learned enough to stop acting like a jackass like this. AKA.... People.. please stop saying and implying stupid false things. 💓 Thank you. Males and females both have the potential to be great OR terrible at a common sense activity like shopping.

This is blatantly sexist. Imagine a man saying, "No women." The backlash would be immediate and epic. BTW, I, a man, was a shopper and I communicated EVERYTHING. I also learned women were the least grateful and rarely tipped. How's that for a blanket, sexist statement?

I don't know what gender my shopper was, but the one and only time I ordered groceries delivered to my house I was charged $130 for a $75 "estimated price" largely because the 8oz filet mignon I ordered was out of stock and they got me 16oz of a more expensive steak. I would have just told them to forget about it rather than get me way more meat than I needed. So I just went back to doing all the shopping myself.

I agree that classifying all men as bad grocery shoppers is wrong, but I'm sorry if the shoe fits, the majority of men and especially younger men are in fact not good grocery shoppers. Now, I know some women, not anywhere near a majority, but some that are horrible shoppers. The fact remains it all comes down to practice, my daughter is an ace shopper. Why? Cuz she has accompanied me her literal entire life while grocery shopping. I have always shopped 1 time per month as to maintain a budget as a single mom. This means that many times we were in the grocery for a minimum of 2 hours. I shop by price per ounce, not sales. The fact is the sale is not always a better deal, the larger pack is not always a better deal than buying 2 of the smaller. It's a about the price per ounce! That and never ever ever shop while hungry! I'm not above stopping as soon as we get to the grocery and grabbing a box of granola bars, rip it open and have one, buy the remainder and in 5 min your full to shop!

The male shoppers and delivery guys always ruin half my order. Especially any bread item. Plus they always try to Heman every bag at once resulting in squished, busted, and bruised food. Just saying, this has been my experience. Maybe it's regional/cultural. Perhaps the more "macho loving red states" are more aggregious in this area. I live in the epitome of a red state unfortunately.

This is just like people saying they want a man who knows what they're doing when asking for help at a hardware store even if the woman who is trying to assist them knows what they're doing. Like it's ok to be negative and sexist towards males but it's wrong against women.
