As others have mentioned, I blame Instacart and not the consumer. I use and love Instacart's service. I had no idea the shoppers relied on tips as much as you say they do. Instacart makes it seem like it's just a little extra bonus, no big deal. You can't blame the consumer for not knowing that.

Completely fair. You're right- my ire should be at the company not the users.

I was just shocked, SHOCKED how little she was actually making vs how much they told her she was making when she took the job. She thought she was making $25 an hour, but after I helped her take a hard look at the math, she was really only making $5-$7 an hour, if that.
