I use instacart because I don’t have access to a grocery store near me and don’t have a car and they pay their employees so little I always tip cash to compensate

this absolutely rules and I definitely stand with them https://t.co/6jcwooad8k

Give in to your workers demands @Instacart they are on the front lines. Pay them more & protect them. The demand for your product is much more inelastic now. You can charge more. And it needs to be the workers who get all those new profits. https://t.co/lseOXOGM2V
