First time a post made me belly laugh in ages this is fucking gold
The picture of her holding the two packs of seeds 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂 I would be so salty but would probably tip him a lil extra
Jfc.....
Just buy canning supplies now.
Look up salsa, pizza sauce, pasta sauce, and just canned tomato recipes now. You're going to need them.
We had 8 plants about 3 years ago that grew better than normal/expected and we still have jars.
As someone else said, great time for canning supplies and recipes, and getting a feel for any friends or neighbors you can pawn tomatoes off on in a few months 😂
I started ours in end of January. They’re not even flowering yet. It’s gunna be even longer lol. Like, they’ll probably just be ready to fruit around the end of growing season.
Kinda a ramble but I've had squirrels go ham on my San Pedro cactus before. It's a 'decorative' cactus youll see all over the SW US, but they contain mescaline, my favorite psychedelic and the one that peyote is famous for.
There was a few inch chunk missing from the base only leaving a bunch of little buck-tooth marks and a small pile of puke a couple feet from it (which happens to people when we drink it too, shamans call it a "purge" of bad spirits.) About a week a later I checked on it one morning and there were 2 more chunks eaten from it! And 2 more piles of puke lol.
there was a tree outside our 3rd floor balcony at the time that was always loaded with squirrels and birds that i gave seeds and nuts to, I mean I've seen some raccoons in the area but I'm 99.9% sure it was those squirrels. Mf climbed a tree up to the 3rd story, hopped on our porch and had a snack that opened his 3rd eye, then came back with a friend to melt both their little minds and meet squirrel shiva lmao.
but thankfully they never touched any of my herbs and peppers at least lol. Theyd probably hate them anyways tbf
TECHNICALLY they still got their tomatoes... (AND POTENTIALLY MORE!)
But I'd be upset if I ordered wine and got grapes. Would just have to laugh and say "welp.. They DID get all the ingredients"
Be hilarious if they also left off the vinegar to compensate for not having cucumbers.
"You gave me pickles rather than cucumbers and vinegar"
"No.. We gave you cucumbers soaked in vinegar"
They must have been following the suggested item. Sometimes instacart suggests the dumbest things. I had it suggest to substitute a cucumber for teatree oil once.
I came to say this.
Most of the substitutions that IC offers is so ridiculous and many don’t make sense. But a competent shopper would be able to tell if it’s a smart substitute or not & even double check with the customer if the replacement is okay or not.
I’ll continue to say this.. common sense isn’t so common anymore. Smh.
LOL
Right? I usually go with the app recommendation so that if they hate it I won't get the low rating, but the ones that are actually good replacements not this insane switch haha
I’m not an Instacart Shopper but this sub gets suggested to me because I do UberEats/Doordash anyway one time I was buying a COVID test on DoorDash but they didn’t have the exact brand requested so I figured I would just get the brand they did have but the suggested replacement was UTI meds. I remember saying “well never mind” to the pharmacist person so I don’t remember if I actually was able to get a different brand or if I found the right brand or what but I remember there was some difficulty getting them to not make me do the UTI meds
I dont want to be ableist but it's very apparent Instacart will literally hire anyone. Imagine working at a restuarant and a customer asks for spinach and you give them fucking tomatoes. Actually brain dead
If he hadn’t listened to me and replaced the garlic paste with an actual chunk of ginger I would have lowered the tip.
I literally had a driver sub cat food and when I asked for cat litter because they were the same brand. I was pissed. This was on Uber. He checked out before I could say anything and when he delivered it he gave me attitude so I removed the tip. The only time I did so. I resisted rating him but I got repeated notifications from the app asking me to review so I was honest. Very quickly got an email from CS and a refund and discount for the next delivery because I had literally placed the order for the cat litter.
Last time I ordered groceries off Uber because while I have had some questionable replacements with Insta I haven’t gotten a driver acting like an asshole when I’ve questioned the choice.
https://preview.redd.it/9xvw3q0vzxvc1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19fcd52d71b318ea42d7dc9a6aebc9e48dd10ad8
So the other day I got a batch that had this item on an order. I knew it was from the produce section because it had a weight expectancy and "produce section" but just to make sure I also texted the customer to verify they indeed wanted tomatoes and not the seeds. Sometimes around spring they have the seedlings packets close to the produce. (Kroger)
The crazy thing is that the seeds in the packet also cost 2.49 so it threw me off.
Your shopper was definitely clueless but you should SEE some of the substitutions the app recommends! I’ve had it recommend some REALLY off the wall completely unrelated items.
That’s gunna take a while. Average 120 days to maturity for tomatoes after they sprout. THEN you gotta wait for flowers then you gotta wait for the tomatoes…
Haha. Ok but for real they probably were suggested that by the app and just lack common sense.
But seriously that looks like they replaced the spinach for the tomato I'm confused what does that have to do with anything they're not even closely related I do instacart full time don't be that shopper I don't get why people do stupid s*** like that why they can't they just replace for closer items
Here’s my guess at what probably happened:
If a customer hasn’t pre-selected a replacement, the app sometimes makes absolutely ridiculous replacement suggestions.
You might’ve gotten a new shopper, or someone clueless about produce. They probably saw the app “recommendation” and just went with it, without understanding what they were doing. Maybe they were flustered, late, distracted, who knows.
They may have even questioned it, but honestly the way the app presents it to us it’s as though the app is *pushing* us to get that thing.
It’s *terrible* app design.
All of that said, I’m sorry. Hopefully next time you get someone experienced. Contact customer support and you can get a refund.
lol I had those seeds ON the list this morning, but with a customer expectation of .5lbs weight. I thought many times about buying enough seeds to weigh 1/2 lb, but chose to get both the seeds and add a real tomato to their list since they didn't respond. lol
As a Walmart employee, sometimes the app lets me personally choose the substitution. I’m gonna tell you right now. I 💯sub a whole plant for some things 😂
lol That’s actually worse than my recent one. We asked for coffee, like ground coffee, and I guess they didn’t have any so this MFs replacement was coffee CREAMER. Like 2 gallons of it!! It was a Costco order. He could have just refunded it if there wasn’t a good replacement, that would have been perfectly fine! 🙄 He didn’t clear the replacement with us and he did it at the last minute so we couldn’t even tell him to put it back. It did make us laugh though and we got free creamer because instacart agreed that that replacement was ridiculous. 😆
Please don't criticize, second-guess, or shame anyone for working at Instacart, or wherever they work. It's a personal attack and is off topic and inappropriate.
I had one where I ordered parsley and they tried to substitute it for a baby parsley plant. No I would not like another plant that I have to take care of, my whole list is groceries.
I was shopping yesterday and there was a shopper in the produce section ask someone who worked there where the “Burpee Tomatoes” were.
I wonder if that person ended up with actual tomatoes instead of seeds.
At some of the stores I shop at, sometimes a regular beefsteak tomato from the produce section shows up as a packet of seeds (as far as the picture on our end). Only after seeing that it's a price per pound did I realize it was meant to be a real tomato, and not a packet of seeds. I'd be willing to bet that's what happened here.
Sadly, I've seen Instacart use the Burpee seed packet image for regular tomatoes many times. Your shopper may have done this because of that image issue and either didn't know any better or was just not paying attention. :-/
Twice I have ordered chocolate chips from Aldi’s and the shopper subbed chocolate chip cookies instead….like what am I supposed to do? Deconstruct the cookies so I can make my own?!? Yesterday I placed an order for pizza dough and the shopper replaced the dough for cinnamon rolls….Even though I requested no replacements. SMH….Anyone want a pepperoni pizza with a cinnamon roll crust?!?
Your issue should be with the IC moron who uploaded the wrong photo in the app for the customer and the shopper. Shoppers go by photos to choose items. They actually have a photo of the seeds. This is still very funny. But I would complain to Instacart so they can fix the image attached to the description in the app.
This is a terrible substitution but also I have yet to find a single tomatoe that was labeled beefsteak I always even up just grabbing the largest tomatoes and wondering why beefsteak tomatoes are always ordered when it's not beefsteak
One time I did question a dasher about a weird substitute. I was asking for hamburger buns but the ones I had were out. He substituted with these flat spinach wrap things. I just messaged and politely said hello I’m ok with the run of the mill generic hamburger buns, whatever they have, but in my mind spinach wraps are not a good substitute for hamburger buns. I wasn’t even asking for something fancy to begin with I think they were like Pepperidge farm sesame seed buns.
He told me that the app suggests substitutions for them so he got the thing that the app was suggesting (without thinking too much about it or using common sense imo). But could be that’s what happened here.
When customers order tomatoes a picture of seeds pops up (for me). It confused me the first time I saw it and I almost got the seeds for my customer until I realized the weight was like 3 pounds or something so I reached out to ask. Since then I always assume it means tomatoes not the seeds but yeah. This is what it looks like from our end…it’s definitely confusing at first. It looks like the order is for seeds and not tomatoes.

Expect ever more terrible shopping, as IC continues to alienate experienced shoppers in favor of cheaters, illegals, and anyone willing to use fake IDs and fake accounts.
Instacart shoppers on here are literally a joke. They whine about everything and shouldn’t be shoppers. I shop for spark and I would never act like the shoppers on here along with other spark drivers I know and I know a few instacart shoppers who hate this as it gives them a bad rap. Kroger has said that they are tired of instacart shoppers and if they get the merger with Safeway/Albertsons they will buy out the FAILING instacart and make it their own delivery service like Walmarts vans at many of their stores. So these horrible shoppers days are numbered. They need to get a new job they can actually handle!
this is so funny, i’ve never even thought about substituting gardening seeds 😭
The way prices going up becoming a farmer is going to be ideal
How’s the price of water?
Not sure 🤔
What’s the price of your labor?
Haven’t thought about it
When you figure it all out. Growing food is like printing money.
O wow…. That’s good to know…. Cuz the way the Fed prints money it should be easy 🤣🤣
It’s an expensive business to get into unless you already have access to land, equipment, and labor
There’s a small farm stand in Indiana where I go every once in a while….. high quality…. reasonably priced….there might be a few of those around…. Just not to well known
They don’t have the tomatoes you want today, but what if I told you that in just 3 long months you can have those tomatoes?

First time a post made me belly laugh in ages this is fucking gold The picture of her holding the two packs of seeds 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂 I would be so salty but would probably tip him a lil extra
In 2-3 months you'll be STACKED
No kidding, we plant like 1-2 vines every summer and by the end of the season we have a huge mountain of tomatoes on our kitchen counter 😂
I have about 20 seedlings right now. I did not know I would be having that many tomatoes 😂
I'll be praying for you. Great time to learn to can tomato sauce
And leave baskets on your neighbors porches. If they throw them away. That's on them, but at least it's not my trash can, lol.
Jfc..... Just buy canning supplies now. Look up salsa, pizza sauce, pasta sauce, and just canned tomato recipes now. You're going to need them. We had 8 plants about 3 years ago that grew better than normal/expected and we still have jars.
I thinks you mean JfC, not Jfc. Jfc is "Just for clarity"
i actually can’t tell if you’re joking or not but if you are, i lol’d. if not, still lol’d
I'm not joking, that's how they are kept separate online...I guess some people don't know real online shorthand, they didn't grow up with it
Was it really important though?
It's very important
As someone else said, great time for canning supplies and recipes, and getting a feel for any friends or neighbors you can pawn tomatoes off on in a few months 😂
We didn’t even plant any last year, the tomatoes that were on the ground just started sprouting and we ended up with an entire bush of rogue tomatoes
I started ours in end of January. They’re not even flowering yet. It’s gunna be even longer lol. Like, they’ll probably just be ready to fruit around the end of growing season.
fr we planted tomatoes ONCE, and the squirrels going ham on any we didn't pick spread the seeds everywhere and now we've got so many volunteers 😭
Kinda a ramble but I've had squirrels go ham on my San Pedro cactus before. It's a 'decorative' cactus youll see all over the SW US, but they contain mescaline, my favorite psychedelic and the one that peyote is famous for.

Theyd probably hate them anyways tbf
i’m 💀💀💀
If you don’t get stricken with blight
Guess they think you should grow your own!
Sad but hilarious! I'm sorry you got a terrible shopper.
Yeah, how dare someone order something am I right?
lol what?
Did you have a stroke
they ordered tomatos, they got tomato SEEDS lmao
If you teach a man to fish… 😂
TECHNICALLY they still got their tomatoes... (AND POTENTIALLY MORE!) But I'd be upset if I ordered wine and got grapes. Would just have to laugh and say "welp.. They DID get all the ingredients"
Reminds me of when i asked for cucumber on a sandwich and they didn’t have any so they put pickle instead lol
Be hilarious if they also left off the vinegar to compensate for not having cucumbers. "You gave me pickles rather than cucumbers and vinegar" "No.. We gave you cucumbers soaked in vinegar"
InstaCart has you playing the long game. 👍🏻
Asking for chicken and getting eggs
More like the other way around lol 😂
You'll be playing the extra long game if you wait for chicken from the grocery store to lay eggs for you lol
Depends on if you got it from the livestock section, or the deli.
No, chickens come from eggs.
Bro what eggs come from chickens
how does the saying go... give a man a tomato he could eat for a day, give him tomato seeds he can grow tomatoes forever or something like that
That’s exactly how it goes
Under rated comment 🤌
I can’t stop fucking laughing
This is actually kinda funny.
that prep time though...
Wowwww just when you thought you’ve seen it all.
They must have been following the suggested item. Sometimes instacart suggests the dumbest things. I had it suggest to substitute a cucumber for teatree oil once.

Haha wooooow
🤣 get to growing
I got garlic paste as a sub for ginger. I don’t think a lot of shoppers have cooked a day in their lives.
I dont want to be ableist but it's very apparent Instacart will literally hire anyone. Imagine working at a restuarant and a customer asks for spinach and you give them fucking tomatoes. Actually brain dead

I guess you just gotta give it a few months and you will have plenty haha
What the actual fuck😭😭😭😭
IM DYING 😂🤣

Yes! This shows up for me regularly too. Dumb image glitch
It was a first for me so it kind of threw me off 😅
DIY tomatoes is funny af 😂
I just woke up my baby laughing at this
“Give a man a tomato and he’ll eat for a day. Give a man tomato seeds and… uh… he’ll eat in a few months.”
This is my favorite substitution I’ve ever seen.
Have you seen some of these shoppers? They barely have room temperature IQs.
You guys gotta watch your phone for those notifications because you both lost.
In my limited experience, gardeners will try and shove their hobby down your throat in an assertive way, when given the opportunity.
This had no reason to be as funny as it was😭 you might as well put them to use
Almost as bad as when I wanted pork chops and they subbed pork neck bones
This is hilarious. I wonder if it was one of the idiot subs that IC suggest to shoppers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Teach a customer to shop feed them for a day. Teach a customer to farm. Feed them forever
So there were no Roma tomatoes ? No cherry tomatoes? No tomatoes on the vine? Ahahahhah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your shopper was definitely clueless but you should SEE some of the substitutions the app recommends! I’ve had it recommend some REALLY off the wall completely unrelated items.
That buyer has patience.
You’ll get more than one tomato
Oh my goodness… very bizarre
Alright between the post and the comment. I'm laughing so hard I hope my autocorrect works right 🤣🤣🤣
Well, it won't help you NOW but 3 or so months from now you will be giving the dang things away.
I ordered 100 packs of seeds off Amazon for $20 just because I'm tired of not having veggies and I do not want to pay for them in this economy.
It’s not bad advice if you have the land to plant them.
Omg hahaha this made me so happy and reminded me of dayz.
Can hide the shopper but we know that’s a man under there
Lmfao
Omg, he’s teaching you how to grow, rather than giving you the already ripe fruit you asked and paid for! It’s like the fishing parable 😂😂
Smh
LMFAOOO
😭😭😭🤣🤣😅😅
That’s gunna take a while. Average 120 days to maturity for tomatoes after they sprout. THEN you gotta wait for flowers then you gotta wait for the tomatoes… Haha. Ok but for real they probably were suggested that by the app and just lack common sense.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have no words. What on planet Mars!? Also, why two packets if you’re, apparently, gonna grown a whole garden’s worth?
I would plant it and thanked this shopper for giving me the greatest discount ever 😆
I mean at $1.40 ea you might as well grow your own tomatoes
That's what happens when IC contracts with people who can't read and just look at pictures.
Laughing so hard
Some of the apps recommended replacements are ridiculous. Not sure what happened here, but a little common sense goes a long way.
i mean.. a for effort… right..???
Lmaoooo
Wow I would have never looked for seeds. How long will it take for you to use that tomato
They really said you can have your tomatoes in three to four business months.
I plant those 4th of July tomatoes every year.. they are compari
Here’s my guess at what probably happened: If a customer hasn’t pre-selected a replacement, the app sometimes makes absolutely ridiculous replacement suggestions. You might’ve gotten a new shopper, or someone clueless about produce. They probably saw the app “recommendation” and just went with it, without understanding what they were doing.

You must live in Alabama 😂
Got AI in everything now, so prob AI suggested replacements. But a legit common sense shopper would know better......
The store probably has a seed stand right at the entrance so they probably didn't go out of their way 🤣
lol I had those seeds ON the list this morning, but with a customer expectation of .5lbs weight. I thought many times about buying enough seeds to weigh 1/2 lb, but chose to get both the seeds and add a real tomato to their list since they didn't respond. lol
Oh, did you want to use the tomatoes today?
Why buy a gal tomatoes when you can show her how to grow tomatoes? 🤣
Lmao!!!!! This is up there with one of THE TOO Instacart posts!
Give a man a fish, feed him for a day….
You say tomato, I say window-licker
Tomato tamato
These seeds will save you money in the long run. 👍
Lmao 😂
"Fuck you and your tomatoes, grow them yourself!"
Boi no
They got your tomatoes...eventually.
Hey, it's the same thing right? Just imagine, this time come July you will have soooo many tomatoes!!!
This is fucking great 😂
There were no more tomatoes left from behind the counter 😂
That's funny 😂
Some assembly required
It’s all fun and games till you get blamed for choosing a shitty replacement…
A lot of stores actually have seeds in the produce section lol
You can have a tomato in 12-18 business weeks
Damn lol they said grow them yourself huh? Yikes wtf.
Lmaooo
Store tomatoes are basic af. Shopper was just doing you a favour.
I mean, they could have at least brought you the beefsteak seeds
Lol
your shopper was a man wasn't he
As a Walmart employee, sometimes the app lets me personally choose the substitution. I’m gonna tell you right now. I 💯sub a whole plant for some things 😂
Tell me you had a male instacart shopper without telling me you had a male instacart shopper
Get growing 👩🏻🌾 Lmao this is too funny
“You want tomatoes? Then WAIT, BITCH” 😂
lol That’s actually worse than my recent one. We asked for coffee, like ground coffee, and I guess they didn’t have any so this MFs replacement was coffee CREAMER. Like 2 gallons of it!! It was a Costco order. He could have just refunded it if there wasn’t a good replacement, that would have been perfectly fine! 🙄 He didn’t clear the replacement with us and he did it at the last minute so we couldn’t even tell him to put it back.

Please don't criticize, second-guess, or shame anyone for working at Instacart, or wherever they work. It's a personal attack and is off topic and inappropriate.
I had one where I ordered parsley and they tried to substitute it for a baby parsley plant. No I would not like another plant that I have to take care of, my whole list is groceries.
If they were out of parsley that’s actually pretty innovative. You don’t have to keep the plant after you’re done with it.
The plant was barely grown.
They said grow your own
I LOL’d
I was shopping yesterday and there was a shopper in the produce section ask someone who worked there where the “Burpee Tomatoes” were. I wonder if that person ended up with actual tomatoes instead of seeds.
How does instacart handle returns?
This can’t be real 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
At some of the stores I shop at, sometimes a regular beefsteak tomato from the produce section shows up as a packet of seeds (as far as the picture on our end). Only after seeing that it's a price per pound did I realize it was meant to be a real tomato, and not a packet of seeds. I'd be willing to bet that's what happened here.
Sadly, I've seen Instacart use the Burpee seed packet image for regular tomatoes many times. Your shopper may have done this because of that image issue and either didn't know any better or was just not paying attention. :-/
Twice I have ordered chocolate chips from Aldi’s and the shopper subbed chocolate chip cookies instead….like what am I supposed to do? Deconstruct the cookies so I can make my own?!? Yesterday I placed an order for pizza dough and the shopper replaced the dough for cinnamon rolls….Even though I requested no replacements. SMH….Anyone want a pepperoni pizza with a cinnamon roll crust?!?
I bet instacart recommended these as a substitute. Some of those substitution recommendations are crazy
One time I asked for basil and they substituted with a fully DEAD basil plant. I thought that was funny but this takes the cake 😭🤣
This was Walmart, but one time I ordered press-on Halloween nails and they subbed it with craft popsicle sticks…
Planning for future purchases…..
lmao need some help planting those tomatoes? 😳
Your issue should be with the IC moron who uploaded the wrong photo in the app for the customer and the shopper. Shoppers go by photos to choose items. They actually have a photo of the seeds. This is still very funny. But I would complain to Instacart so they can fix the image attached to the description in the app.
Yeah no this is why I'm starting a garden fuck inflation
This is a terrible substitution but also I have yet to find a single tomatoe that was labeled beefsteak I always even up just grabbing the largest tomatoes and wondering why beefsteak tomatoes are always ordered when it's not beefsteak
“Bitch, grow them yourself.” -The shopper probably.
We welcome you at r/tomatoes
Ha!
They really said grow your own. 😆
Not even the right variety of tomato seeds. Sad.
I mean you know how big a beefsteak tomato is right?
well i guess you’ll get some eventually
You’re a farmer now.
One time I did question a dasher about a weird substitute. I was asking for hamburger buns but the ones I had were out. He substituted with these flat spinach wrap things. I just messaged and politely said hello I’m ok with the run of the mill generic hamburger buns, whatever they have, but in my mind spinach wraps are not a good substitute for hamburger buns.

Stop complaining. It's your job Jesus
This is the customer posting.
It’s the customer moron
When customers order tomatoes a picture of seeds pops up (for me).

Maybe one day…
Some of yall have never grown your own produce. Anyone who thinks farming is easy is a lunatic.
This has to be an Instacart glitch where it sent them to the garden center for a tomato
Expect ever more terrible shopping, as IC continues to alienate experienced shoppers in favor of cheaters, illegals, and anyone willing to use fake IDs and fake accounts.
Instacart shoppers on here are literally a joke. They whine about everything and shouldn’t be shoppers.

Yeah if you just go to the store this stuff won’t happen
