Here's here's how you know a family situation is fucked up. Right. It's when you're living all the way in Virginia and you're getting people messaging you telling you what their side of the story is before you even knew something happened. Right. That's how I knew, like, all right, y'all fucked up. I ignore it. Dude, they were trying to rope me into that shit and from a country mile. Literally, yeah. And trying to get me uh to like disown my dad and shit. Almost did it. Dude, for a while, I didn't know what the fuck was going on. But then I was like, go back and get brainwashed again.

SPEAKER_00

Do you live in a pineapple under the sea? Or no? Or nah. Or no. Do you want a crappy patty? Or nah or nah? So that was insane. Um yeah. I just like to start it with something that doesn't make any sense at all. You know what that clip reminds me of? It may be the same person. I don't know. I'd have to do a little bit of research. Do you remember that clip that ran that went around of the chick that had like the car's head? She was like lightning McQueen. Oh, dude. It was insane. Uh like she just had her her her mouth was like the bumper, and she like did everything else. And like what if she dated the dude from the last episode? I was in love with this car. I'm not gay no more.

SPEAKER_03

I've been delivered.

The Instacart Pickup Saga Begins

Support Chat Loops And Mixed Messages

Delivery To Aldi And Canceled Order Shock

SPEAKER_00

But like what made the clip even creepier was like the only sound effect, it had nothing to do with cars. It was just like a like a car like beep, beep, and she was just like beep, beep. Yeah, dude, it's fucking weird. Um, so that costume may be like the same thing. Yeah, it's definitely the same vibe for sure. Oh yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. The way this motherfucker was moving its knees though was fucking hilarious. That shit was insane. Yeah. So uh what? Yeah, where they're fighting with the carts of Insta? Yes, I've been fighting with the carts of Insta. The Insta carts, if you will. Instagram's cousin. So, yeah. Yeah. I tried to post a picture of my dick, and they were like, whoa, this is a grocery store. Right. Uh now, so I've been doing my grocery runs at Aldi here recently. Yeah. A lot, a lot, a lot cheaper. Um it's been saving a buck or two versus going to Harris Teeter. Right. And normally I just do it through Instacart because if you do like a pickup order, it knocks off like$1.99 off your total. Right. And I fucking tell them I'm on my way and I fucking pull into the parking lot. There's nobody ever in the pickup spots. I park there, and before I'm eat before I even stop the truck, they're already coming out with my shit. Oh yeah. I'm literally, because I've done it multiple times, I'm literally in the parking lot less than 30 seconds. They put the two bags in the back, tell them I have a nice day, and I fucking go off. And I fight them. No, I'm just kidding. Go off one day. Right, go off. Fuck you for this good service. Right. Thank you, bitch. Right. Um so anyway, Saturday, I placing a pickup order, and I got to doing some side hustling shit, and I uh ended up missing the pickup time, and I was like, all right, fuck it, I'll just get it Sunday, which was the next day. And when I went there, I walked Instacart said, like, uh, hey, there's an issue with your pickup. We can't bring it out of your vehicle, you gotta go inside. So I went inside and I was like, hi, hello. How you met me? Right. We're gonna PTS goddamn day. Um, but no, I was like, hey, you know, I put an Instacart pickup order in, I'm just here to grab my shit. And they said, Oh, uh here at Aldi, if you don't pick it up on the same day of your pickup, then we put it back on the shelf. Right. And I said, Okay, cool. So can I just shop for it myself? And I already paid for it. Right. So I contacted uh Instacart and I was like, hey, here's the deal, blah, blah, blah. Let me just go through some of these messages real quick that I have. Go for it. Um are you still available to chat? Yes. I've gotten that message before. Um let's see. Placed an order yesterday. I went to pick it up today, and they said that everything was back on the shelves. So I need to cancel the order because the money has already been taken out of my account. Um I was told that the previous shopper was unassigned during the ready for pickup stage due to the shopper having an emergency. And because of that, the previous shopper could not complete your order. But the new shopper will be assigned, and the shopper will deliver the order. So does so how does this shit work? Do the people that work in the store not shop for it? No, they do. Okay. Yeah. So then they bring it to your house? So all of this shit all of this shit by somebody by the name of Monaj? M-A-N-O-J. Nikki. Right. Is what I can tell is a lie. I said, uh. So remember, he said the shopper will deliver the order. I said it was a pickup order, not a delivery. He said, yes, correct. The order is a pickup order. The previous shopper was unassigned during the ready for pickup stage due to an emergency, and because of that, uh, the previous shopper could not complete the order. The new shopper will be assigned, and the shopper will make your order ready for pickup. There we go. Now, when was this? This is last night. Okay. So remember, I've already talked to Aldi, and Aldi said, Oh, yeah, we remember your order, we just put it back on the shelf because you that's what we do. Right. So all this shit from Instacart is fucking bullshit. So I responded, I said, okay, because I stopped by Aldi and they told me that if a pickup order isn't picked up on the same day, or is put back on the shelves. I said, so as of now, my order will be ready tomorrow at Audi. And he asked me, we went through some rescheduling processes, and he said basically, like, what time do you want to pick it up? I said, I get off work at 3, so I said, do a slot from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. pickup. Right. He said, I have successfully rescheduled your order to 3 and to 4 p.m. The new delivery information should appear on your order page in both the app and the website. I didn't feel like going back and forth with delivery or pickup. So I said, he said, is there anything else I can help you with? I said, nah. So fast forward to today, I I get off work at 3. Right. I look in the app and nothing's changed. And um I contact support and I'm like, hey, what's up with my pickup order? And they tell me, like, oh, rest assured, we will assign a shopper. By now it's like 3 15. And they're like, we will assign a shopper. Were they actually saying rest assured? Yeah. I would not rest assured. I was not rested and I was not assured. Right. Um, so they were like, hey, like, you know, we're gonna have a shopper and your order will be ready for pickup by 4 p.m. So 440 rolls around, and I'm like, hmm, my order's still not ready for pickup. Let me contact support. So I contact support, let them know the situation, and they said, as I checked, the order will be delivered within the estimated delivery window. Now, mind you, again, this is a fucking pickup order. I said, so now the order is a delivery. And they said, upon my checking, the order will be delivered by 11.03 a.m. Tomorrow? Eastern Standard Time. I responded with tomorrow question mark. All right, good question. Good question, good question, good question. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Uh they responded with, let me check that. May I place you on hold for a brief one or two minutes? I responded, okay. Upon my checking, the order will be delivered by 11.03 a.m. tomorrow. That doesn't work for me, obviously, because I work. Right. And so I said, What's the delivery address? And they said the delivery address is 1600 East Little Creek Road, Norfolk, Virginia. I don't live at 1600 East Little Creek Road. But you want to know who does? Do you want to know? I want to know. The resident at 1600 East Little Creek Road is Aldi. So they're gonna they're gonna pick it up, put it in their car, and deliver it to Aldi. And then Aldi's gonna put it back on the show. What the fuck is this shit? What the fuck just happened? Thought we just got this out. Now here's the this part's crazy. So I said, um, what's the delivery address? They said 1600. I said, that's the address to Aldi. And they responded, yes. I said, oh no, now this is Singram. I said, so my order is being delivered to the Aldi. They responded with the order is placed on Aldi on February 28th, 2026. You should have called them. I said, you're making no sense at all. Oh, you said that? Yeah. Good job. And here this part is what's crazy. So like we were just talking about my active order. He's telling me that the order is gonna be delivered and all this stuff. So there is an active order. So I say, You're making no sense at all. He says, Upon checking, the order has been canceled from your end. What? What? Right. I said, I never cancel the order. What is happening? I've already paid for this order. And he said, I see that the order is canceled from your end. I said, what the fuck? I never canceled the order. He said, as I checked, the order has been canceled from your end. Please place a new order and you will receive the new order. So Did you get your money back? I haven't yet. You got hustled by Instacart. Bro, so there is a refund in progress, which is probably gonna take three days. You can't eat. I mean, I got food and shit, like, but like still No, that's not the point. Right, though I ha the way I am right now is how I was when I was talking to them.

They they they they do things that hot people do, and they're not hot. You know what I'm saying? Right. They're holding themselves to that higher standard. Right. Like they don't.
