George: 我最近尝试了Instacart送货员的兼职，起初以为很简单，但实际操作中充满了各种挑战。例如，深夜在超市挑选散装商品，顾客不在家签收处方药，在高档社区找不到门禁密码等等。这些经历让我意识到，这份工作并非易事，需要应对各种突发情况和人际关系问题。尽管如此，我仍然认为这是一份不错的兼职，因为我5个小时赚了149美元，平均每小时30美元。但这需要付出大量的时间和精力，并且需要考虑车辆损耗和油费等额外成本。 总的来说，Instacart送货员的兼职工作让我对兼职的实际情况有了更深入的了解，也让我意识到选择兼职需要考虑时间成本和收入，选择更有效率的兼职。 Rachel: George的Instacart送货员经历让我意识到，一些看似简单的兼职工作，实际上可能非常辛苦。Instacart送货员的工作并非易事，需要应对各种突发情况和人际关系问题。例如，顾客给的3美元小费太少了，这让我对一些顾客的消费习惯感到不满。 此外，选择兼职时，要考虑自身技能和时间，选择更有效率的兼职。例如，与其做一些收入低的兼职，不如选择一些更有效率的兼职，例如利用自身技能进行兼职，可以获得更多乐趣和收入。
