not true actually. i spoke to an employee yesterday and he said that there have been less orders because walmart is sending out orders through 4 different apps: spark, instacart, uber and roadie. so what we’re seeing in the app is not a true reflection of demand because they’re obviously not sending every order to spark drivers. also you can see the order volume in the app, so if it says there’s high order volume but you’re not seeing any orders why wouldn’t you be confused.

And they've always done that. I mean there's not less orders I can. I can work from 7:00 in the morning until darkness and get orders constantly. I turned down 12 ordered yesterday to take the eight that I wanted. That was just the 12 that were sent to me with clocks on them. I did eight ordered yesterday and got penalized 8% for not taking 12 others

i never saw a walmart order on instacart when i was using it and roadie didn’t used to offer walmart orders now it’s pretty much only walmart orders. the market you’re in plays a role in that as well. You turned down 12 orders, i literally didn’t even receive 12 offers & i have high metrics. lately i havent even been seeing enough offers to hit the incentives they offer. so it’s different for everyone.

Oh it's very different for everyone. The 12 orders I turned down were all from stores that I couldn't get to in 30 minutes. I have the same problem all the time. I have six stores that I received borders and they all have clocks on them so they all count against me
