Instabatch is my journey as a gig worker delivering groceries, stories, and adventures across California and beyond. I’ve been in customer service for 30+ years, and since 2019 I’ve worked Instacart, Grubhub, Rohde, and more—through wins, losses, and a pandemic.
From sunny beaches to snowy mountains, I show you the real road life: the stores I shop, the parking lot surprises, the murals, concerts, and scenery along the way. This channel is for gig workers to share tips on earnings, safety, customer service, and staying healthy for the job.
I’m El Gran Instabatcher, and I believe gig work is more than a hustle—it’s an adventure. Subscribe and join the ride.

Is Instacart really worth it in 2026?
Not the highlight-reel version… the real one.

✔️ The freedom and flexibility
❌ The wear on your car, your body, and your patience

The anime images you’re seeing here represent both sides of the job—the good and the grind.

• New to Instacart
• Thinking about starting
• Or already feeling burned out

💚 Sometimes being an Instabatcher means making tough choices — like canceling a batch. We never want to do it, but life happens, right? Maybe the weather turned crazy, the car broke down, or the batch was just way too far to handle safely.
These moments can be stressful — and that’s what these anime scenes capture perfectly. From panic and guilt to that moment of relief when customer support says “It’s okay, we’ve got you.” 😅
We all know that feeling when you check your stats and see that 14% cancellation rate and your heart just drops! 💔 But hey, safety always comes first.
👉 I want to hear from YOU — have you ever had to cancel a batch? What happened?
👉 How do you keep your cancellation rate low?
👉 Any tips for other shoppers who might be nervous to contact support?
Drop your thoughts, stories, or advice in the comments below 👇 — let’s make this a space where Instabatchers can learn from each other and laugh about the struggles we all face out there on the road. 🚗🛒💨

Can you really make $200 a day shopping only at Costco with Instacart? 👀💸
Well, I decided to find out — and let me tell you, this one was wild!
The day started off with a $22 batch that got cancelled because the customer was blocked from Costco (yep, that actually happens 😅). But just when I thought the day was off to a bad start… BOOM 💥 — a $70 batch popped up! After that, it was back-to-back orders, smooth runs, and a full 6-hour hustle through Palmdale, Lancaster, Rosemont, and Little Rock.
By the end of the day, I pulled in $183.83 — and got a clear look at what it really takes to hit that $200 mark at Costco. 🏆
If you’ve ever wondered how much you can make as an Instacart shopper, or you just want a behind-the-scenes look at the Costco Pro grind, this is the video to watch. You’ll see real numbers, real orders, and real-life gig hustle energy.
👉 Watch now, drop a comment telling me your best Costco batch, and don’t forget to hit subscribe if you love gig life content, motivation, and the real shopper experience!

“The Open Road of the Gig Life – Instabatch Adventures”
This artwork captures what the gig life means to me—freedom, travel, and the daily grind all rolled into one. From California’s sunny beaches to snowy mountains, the gig economy takes us places we never expected. Every mile is a new story, every delivery a new connection.
For us gig workers, it’s not just about making the drop—it’s about the journey, the people we meet, and the sights we see along the way.
If you believe in working smart, staying safe, and exploring life while you earn, you’re part of the Instabatch community already. 🚗💨
Subscribe to Instabatch and join me on the road—because the gig life is an adventure worth sharing.
