When a woman attempted to have her Instacart shopper select a replacement for an item that was out of stock, her shopper canceled the order, a situation that is resonating with viewers on TikTok.
In her video, which has drawn over 80,000 views, user Haneih (@hunnyyyrahimi) says she was trying to replace the sesame bagels that her shopper said were out of stock.

“I just ordered groceries on Instacart, and look at this,” she says in the video. “I ordered bagels. I see that he keeps requesting to refund it. I search for different alternatives and I suggested literally any other type of bagel. I suggest like, multiple different types.”
Despite Haneih’s multiple options for substitutes, she says her shopper didn’t understand her request.
“‘Hi my friend, they don’t have any sesame. If they have, I add,’” his message reads.
Haneih adds, “Then I’m so confused because I keep adding different varieties of bagels, it’s not just sesame. I’m like, hi, it says in stock.”
In response to her suggesting that alternatives to the item she wants are still in stock, the Instacart shopper writes, “I know better than where you ser. If you want to teach me my job I can cancel your order.” At the end of her video, she says the Instacart shopper did just that.
The Daily Dot has reached out to Instacart via email regarding the video, as well as to Haneih via TikTok direct message.
