Don’t know if they’ve fixed it, but I also mentioned in a previous post that there’s a bug (feature?) in the Instacart program.
The offers are worded as $20 off your next 2 orders of $50 or more etc.
Whenever I make use of those offers, I always try to get the total as close to the minimum as possible (since the percentage off decreases, the more you exceed the minimum necessary).
One of those times, I had a $40 off orders of $80 or more, so I placed an order that came out to something like $82.xx, but I selected “No substitutions” for the items (otherwise, if something is unavailable, they might substitute it with whatever they think is close/similar).
It turned out they only had a limited number of one of the items (that I’d ordered a dozen of). Well, the way the offer worked on Instacart, was that they took $40 off that $82 offer (so the total came to $42), but when they determined that they didn’t have X number of the item, they issued a partial refund for the items that weren’t available (since I added “No substitutions”), but they didn’t cancel/revoke the $40 off, even though the total was now only $62, so I wound up paying $22 for a $62 order.
Wasn’t enough of an a-hole to deliberately make use of this programming bug. No idea if they’ve fixed it (this was probably ~ 2 years ago).

I ever mention before that I used to keep fireworks in my toolbox?
The whole point of them was whenever some one was in the bathroom too long I would throw a few in there to get them out and diffuse the smell
One day a body guy was in the bathroom and I happened to have a good one left(it was 4 times the size of o normal black cat)
Lit that thing and with special forces like precision managed to throw it over the bathroom stall wall..... and in between the guys legs that was going number 2 ......
It was hilarious, made a mess..... and sadly I'm no longer allowed to have fireworks at the shop
I will not confirm or deny who threw said firework lol
