• The Buffalo News reports that Tops Markets is going to start using its own employees, rather than Instacart employees, for instore picking at all of its stores that offer curbside pickup.
Kathleen Sautter, Tops' spokesperson, says that the retailer is "actively hiring in-store shoppers for all 58 locations and looking to recruit the current Instacart in-store shoppers who will no longer have a position with Instacart come April."
The News writes that "Instacart workers will continue to enter stores and shop the orders they deliver. Those workers are not employed by Instacart but are considered independent contractors."
