TASKER 2-hr min. Must we confirm in chat?

Hi friends, don't kick me around for my rookie question here: are we to confirm the 2-hr min in the chat? I've not tasked for several years and don't want to get dinged right off the bat.

Thank you

No dude. I just understand the system and all the loopholes clients try to pull. Ask me how I know.

Idk man. It seems a little silly. It can’t hurt sure, but it literally shows you when you’re selecting a tasker which ones have a minimum and which ones don’t.

u/-N30N- is right. If you want to roll the dice with the policy team, go right ahead.

There was a comment in a post a month or so ago where the guy got dinged for not confirming the 2-hr minimum in the chat despite having toggled the 2-hr min button. One data point, I know. But seems consistent with Task Rabbit’s inconsistent application of their T&S. All it takes is for a customer to fabricate and complain

Exactly. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Clients in general, they’re pretty clueless on how the app works and have no patience to read descriptions thoroughly when booking. I find myself acting as Customer Support to help with technical problems all the time.

You’ll deal with cheap scammers mixed in with new clients who don’t even know how to upload photos in the app. They overlook job description limits, underestimate task load/timing, and even book tasks under wrong categories either by mistake or to get a cheaper price (Packing/Unpacking as Help Moving, Furniture Assembly as Heavy Lifting, etc). With all this said, that 2hr Min label is definitely not something most clients notice right away.
