“MVP- Better Believe I Doubled The Tip”
“I am stuck at home with a toddler and so happy to pay for someone to do my shopping. Look at the bags I was greeted with when I got home! I was giddy.”
“Delivery For Ms. Kitty”
“I’ve never had a customer put this much effort into giving me a review and I’ve been doing this for over 3 years. I honestly didn’t do anything special, it’s how I treat all my other customers. It’s really refreshing to feel noticed and appreciated. She made not just my day but my whole life lol. I’ll be forever grateful.”
“I Was Supervised On A Delivery This Afternoon”
“This Initial Message”
“I Delivered To A Very Pawlite Customer Today”
“Nicest Thing I’ve Ever Received On Delivery”
“Customer Left Me An Envelope With Money”
“Customer messaged me in the app saying there’s an envelope for me. I picked it up and saw this note with a $5 bill inside. Thought it was super sweet and wanted to share.”

“Got Tipped $70 Bc Neighbors Called The Cops”

Guy I was delivering to came out and talked to the cops with me. When I left I saw the notif that he increased my tip from $8 to $68. Thanks!!”
“This Dog Wouldn’t Let Me Stage The Items LOL”
“Customer Tipped Me $50 After I Had A Breakdown”
“During this batch: i ripped my pants when i started shopping, i left my windows down in the rain and hail and somehow i guess i was so stressed i left my car running while i was shopping ??? like have never done that idk what happened. my windows were so foggy and it was raining so hard i couldn’t see very well, the car in front of me didn’t have brake lights and i nearly rear ended them and all the groceries went flying. customer b’s eggs broke and both orders were mixed up and all over the car. i pulled over in the rain and sorted through the groceries for awhile and hoped i got everything right but at that point i couldn’t even see past my tears. i tried to hold it together when i got to the door but was very obviously not ok. i told her about the near accident and how the groceries went flying and apologized but she was just worried about if i was ok. genuinely the kindest customer i’ve ever had. after the second delivery i saw she tipped me $50 she had also messaged me to tell me all her groceries were there and everything was perfect. i told her how much i appreciated it but idk if i could express it well enough through messages. i hope she knows she really made a difference”
“Pay May Be Low But This Was A Great Tip”
“My Favorite Part When Delivering Orders”
“I Drew Up A “Thank You” Card For My Customers”
“I’m also an artist, so I thought of printing up some thank you cards. They’ve helped with getting consistent ratings, so I find it worth the occasional sheets of cardstock.”
“I Bearly Made It To This Delivery”
“Delivered to a gated community here in our little mountain town and was met with this friendly fellow. I think could smell all the yummy groceries in my car, literally walked right towards my car before finally crossing the road.
Notice the bear/deer crossing sign behind him.”
“One Of The Strangest Orders I’ve Ever Shopped”
“So I get an order for 18 items for $28 and I take it and then realize it’s like 113 units or something like that. I contemplated canceling but decided to just shop it as quickly as possible. All fruit mind you. $308 worth of fruit to be exact. Turns out the guy ordering sends an order like this to his sister on her birthday every year as a prank. I shopped and checked out fairly quick and get to the house. I start handing bags to the lady and she goes “honey the fruit is here again”. I’m glad I followed through with the order it was definitely worth the laughs and ended up being $48 after tip increase for a bunch of fruit. Hopefully they have a good blender or donate some of this because there’s no way anyone is eating this much fruit. “
