Instacart shoppers say the highest-earning orders are getting more extreme, with demands like 72-mile drives

• Instacart cut base pay for its shoppers last month, and some are looking for other jobs.
• Shoppers say the highest-earning orders on the app are increasingly not worth the pay.
• Orders with hundreds of items or delivery addresses 50 miles away have become common.

Many Instacart shoppers focus on shopping and delivering the highest-earning orders — think weekly grocery runs for big families or a stock-up trip to Costco.
