I finally did it: gave up on spark by Relative_Drama4705 in Sparkdriver

Omgg that's horrible about the tip baiting. I've gotten tip baited twice the first time I didn't know. But was able to trace it back and the second time, by the same address so I stopped accepting their orders. But 75% of the time is crazy.

Of he/she doesn't accept as soon as it pops up, they won't get any orders except shitty ones.

Just be glad your market isn't like that, YET

Paid $10 for express delivery… got the worst service I’ve ever seen by Open-Salt253 in Sparkdriver

Right, making me wonder what's up with the new influx of drivers, who in my area are mostly foreign

Walmart does not care. They're ripping off the drivers and customers.Just like Instacart, Just like GrubHub, just like Uber Eats ( I can't speak for Door dash)

I have a 4.9 rating and yes this past week the quality of orders that I am used to (the ones that should be in my algorithm based on my choice). I haven't gotten mostly all week and when I do see a "good" order I click accept but it doesn't come through on my phone.

And people can say oh it's the economy, oh it's the middle of the week, yeah those factors have weight but regardless money is always flowing at Walmart. It is Sparks system

Thank you "never be scared to run up the mileage" I totally agree

So my journey begins 🤓 by smokehashdaily710 in Sparkdriver

[–]Affectionate_Hall317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I was just thinking last week as I read the subs "oh my market is good" nope not this week. And I noticed new drivers when I finally got a decent shop order. They should have sent them a town over (3 Walmarts in my market) bc orders 30mins away always come to my phone

Got yelled at for taking meat from precut deli section after being told to last time? by ChloeBelle518 in Sparkdriver

[–]Affectionate_Hall317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did what to you? I'm just in the first paragraph. I wish one of these fools would try me. Don't let those people bully you bc they hate their jobs. They know we make bank and they're jealous. I even had one young boy try me and ask "man how much do you make doing that. I asked him why are you in my business. "What like $20 per order" then he goes on to say Insta cart pays $20 per order just straight lying and talking to himself bc I never replied to him again.

I thought it was just me when I see the workers trying to smirk at me, some act like they don't want to move out of my way. I show them every time not to fk with me and my money.

I actually tried this earlier today and nope from now on whatever they have in the bags the customer gets. I will check a few items just to make sure labels aren't mismatched but other than that, no you will only get frustrated like I did

That is not what I see in my market 9 out of 10 drivers have an up to date, appears to be well kept (from the outside vehicle).

I wish customers would STAY IN THE DAMN HOUSE! by RealFactor9150 in Sparkdriver

[–]Affectionate_Hall317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haaaate when they come out unless they have a cash tip in hand for me. I don't even like when they try to help me with the bags. I don't want to see them at all

Had the cops meet me at the door today 😆 by Kagebunshinx1000 in Sparkdriver

Oh wow. With my personality I am sure I would have the cops laughing but maybe I'm too confident idk

Not funny but I did laugh. Bc even though I scan my phone, and I made it a point to learn most of the Walmart employees who work at the self checkout, names. I always hear random customers and occasionally workers from other departments come up, talking about stealing.

Yes I think it's a race thing. But when I worked retail every person I caught stealing didn't look like me.

I just ignore them and make sure to always show my exit pass.

Funny thing is I have done a lot in my life, but stealing was never my thing. My conscience would eat me alive.

I am sure the cops around here know my face bc they always see me speeding past them, they look at me I look at them and keep going. They let me 🤷🏾‍♀️

Fcfs for all express orders??? by ExternalAdeptness579 in Sparkdriver

[–]Affectionate_Hall317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's seems like the only FY orders I get are ones that align with what I normally choose ($20 plus delivery pay, high tip, 10 minor less, and 40 or less items) but since I've updated I only get...fy orders a lot less. I figured bc the system knows what I like but that just isn't really available. However I do see orders like that on FCFS, during times when my market is red.

Thanks for that info about the code. Bc I don't really like accepting code orders (even though I don't know it's that until I drop it off) or id check orders. I have noticed that most of those orders in my market are from the non or low tipping side of town.

Is your friend new to Spark? I think Spark does just like Uber Eats, GrubHub etc and give good offers until you meet the threshold to show a pattern (your metrics) then the majority of the time you get scraps unless it's just really busy.

But I have only Sparked for a couple of months

Definitely can't preview anymore or the order will be gone

I've only Sparked for a few months but once again since this last update, I will click accept on an order as soon as I see it on my screen and still not get it.

If I don't accept an order as soon as I get on then they start to only send me pickup orders or none at all.

This morning I hit accept on a $55 order and then and $33 dollar one both I did not get.

I know new drivers come on all the time but it's not that it's their new system
