To be filed under that's just bizarre: remember yesterday I said #Instacart keeps asking me for my ID at order delivery? Today my lovely shopper informed me which item is triggering this. Ya ready? Wait, for, it, wait, for it. A disposable foil pan. I kid you not.
@vol4life8657 I know right? Can't make this stuff up.
@robini71 That's just incredible!
@vol4life8657 I know it really is. But like I just said to the shopper who knows maybe there's something in the foil pan that's gonna kill us all or make us glow that we know not of who knows.
@robini71 Oh no! The pan of panick! The pan of Panick!
@vol4life8657 Heeheeheehee.
@robini71 Now I have to figure out what it does.
@vol4life8657 Well it might not be limited to foil pans and it isn't just me either so says this Reddit forum thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/InstacartShoppers/comments/1h29jwx/instacart_asking_shoppers_to_scan_customers_id/
@hallen @vol4life8657 Welcome to my world, never dull that's for sure. 
@robini71 that's very bizarre. what do they think you're going to do with a disposable foil pan, cook meth in it or something? sheesh.
@cary5871 I know right? It is so strange. This is why we can’t have nice things ha ha
@robini71 true fact. although I don't have instacart where I live, in my little bitty town. so all the sad times for me. heh.
@cary5871 Aww I am very sorry. As much as I complain and laugh about it it is a blessing and I’m glad to have it. We also have.Shipt here as well, but I find that there isn’t as much communication during shopping as there is with Instacart shoppers here why that is I don’t know, but there we are.
@robini71 oh no it's totally all good. the strange things we have to deal with in this crazy world lol. it's ok that we don't have instacart or shipt, I have a friend who lives in Georgia and he uses shipt all the time. it's a very cool thing that it exists, I just don't have the luxury of using it. we don't have uber or lyft here either. lol. it sucks that these things aren't actually nationwide.
@cary5871 Oh no, that is awful I am so sorry.
@robini71 @cary5871 I also feel like shipt takes much longer to claim orders. I don't know why that is other than the fact that I know from a friend who works for them that when they push out orders, they prioritize the target.com members and shoppers first. But also they must communicate by text. Instacart has disadvantages and frustrations for sure, but they seem to have better figured out their platform and app overall.
@robini71 What? Why? I mean yes those pans can and do add chemicals into your food that are toxic but generally only if you use tomato based products in there. I'd expect a crazy backwards land like California to care about such things, but not Pennsylvania. So odd!
@amy0223 It is indeed and as I mentioned earlier some Reddit threads indicate it isn't just the pans but other things triggering it with this particular market and no one seems to know why.
partially a joke
@adisonverlice You just never know what you will encounter in a day that is for sure 
@robini71 o yeah it's weird isn't it?
@adisonverlice Yes sure is.
@robini71 Um, what do they think you're going to use the pan for? That's nuts!
@technolass That is the mystery of the age
@technolass @robini71 She must be cooking up some kind of meth or something, very suspicious, lol
@technolass @kgs49 Heeheeheehee.
