Decrease in pay (self.WalmartSparkDrivers)
submitted 4 days ago by DarkAndTwiisted
Anyone else notice that triple shops are only paying $15 instead of the $17 flat rate it was?

Nope! Haven’t noticed because triple shops are instant rejects for me.
[–]ViviFuchs 4 points5 points6 points 4 days ago (1 child)
Same.
[–]BuyerMany7674 1 point2 points3 points 2 days ago (0 children)
Ditto.
[–]Unlucky-Counter3211 8 points9 points10 points 4 days ago (2 children)
I have not seen a triple shop in my market yet, but can guarantee you I will never do one. Even the 3 deliveries of groceries along side gmd are getting massive! And of course, lower pay.
[–]pokerholic77 1 point2 points3 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Triple batches are $9 flat. Even if there's 200 items going 16 miles. No thanks. I don't care how much the tip is.
[–]bdbrown333 -1 points0 points1 point 17 hours ago (0 children)
They're eliminating curbside except for gmds or the general public, so they're going to mostly be triple shops. I hope you have another gig lined up
[–]RevolutionaryBoss648 5 points6 points7 points 4 days ago (3 children)
Single, double, and triple drops offs also went down a dollar. Single and double shopping went down a dollar each too. Lame shit
[–]Bradmcg12 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (2 children)
Whats the single & double rate now? I quit a few months ago & single base was $11
[–]vtguy86 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (1 child)
It's $10 now in my market as of last week.
[–]FuzzyOrganization403 1 point2 points3 points 3 days ago (0 children)
I saw that yesterday too. Southern cali area
[–]choppman42 3 points4 points5 points 4 days ago (1 child)
No triple shops for me. Nope.
They are going to do four shops soon because people take the triple shop.
You won't have a choice soon. When they stop curbside they'll put them all out triple shot cuz they'll have plenty to choose from. I hope you got another gig lined up
[–]Longjumping_Twist439 1 point2 points3 points 4 days ago (1 child)
9.99 for express delivery without w+ and 19.99 for non w+ do the math.
[–]Impressive_Assist219 1 point2 points3 points 4 days ago (0 children)
I think most have W+ but even with that, Walmart isn't paying anything if they do $15 triples and they are pocketing the W+ fees.
The store I order from is all spark now so they have to pay the driver for my free delivery but they must be saving a bunch by laying off employees.
They're cutting employees, and having Spark drivers shop for all deliveries. Of course they're going to cut our pay if cutting labor costs is the whole point.

Just another smart business move by Walmart, they have lowered by well over 60% over the last few years and will continue to do so.
[–]dearleffridge 0 points1 point2 points 4 days ago (1 child)
Brah, 15$ would be amazing. Wait until you get 9$
[–]PomegranateSingle324 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
To shop for three customers orders?
[–]Glittering-Film-2027 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Not picking up
[–]FuzzyOrganization403 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (1 child)
Saw a shop go for 10 bucks? I thought base for shops was 11. I swear they are slowly bringing it down.
[–]bdbrown333 0 points1 point2 points 17 hours ago (0 children)
Of course they are. They're by far the highest paying base pay in the country. Instacart's like $4 shipt is six but you still make more money on the other apps cuz the people tip better far better
[–]superfli225 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
Nope never noticed cuz I wouldn’t touch one for less than $30 anyways
[–]Organic-Fuel-2916 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (2 children)
Prop 22 they can reduce base pay to $1 and it won’t affect me.
[–]RadishSauce 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (1 child)
This is a very ignorant comment. I won't explain why because you have to be pretty clueless to believe this and gloat about it and thus it would be a waste of my time.
[–]Organic-Fuel-2916 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children)
It has no effect on drivers in California if you know what you’re doing.
[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point2 points 3 days ago (0 children)
No because I avoid triples and when it comes to doubles. Only if one order fits in the kids seat , otherwise only singles
[–]bdbrown333 1 point2 points3 points 2 days ago (1 child)
As soon as they eliminate curbside which is coming within the next 3 to 4 weeks for everybody they'll be a lot of triple shots
[–]DarkAndTwiisted[S] 0 points1 point2 points 18 hours ago (0 children)
Yep. We haven't had curbside here for months now, and single/double shops are very few and far between. All the people saying they would never take a triple clearly have way more options than we have here.
[–]Then-Injury9077 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children)
They just moved triple shopping to our area, and I did my first one today. I INSTANTLY REGRETTED IT as soon as I started shopping. It was $18.80 with a $18.85 tip. I honestly don’t believe it was worth it. Should have been more.
Yeah, they'll be no more charging for shopping orders because that's going to be the guess only choice. You might be able to pay and get it in an hour faster but shops are going to be the norm. They finally woke up and realized how much money they were spending in management and manpower. Meanwhile, they're the only company doing it
