Shoppers have told Insider that batching has led them to do more work for the same pay.
Instead of having one shopper fill a single order at a time, Instacart has pushed its gig workers to shop and deliver multiple orders at once.

One Instacart shopper in Utah told Insider earlier this year that three-order batches, which shoppers call "triples," have become commonplace.
