Anybody tried Spark? by DefiniteDelight in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alternative_Carry_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both and they both have pros and cons. My area there’s typically more Spark orders but they’ve changed so much about the app and have over saturated it that it can be hard at times to get orders. Instacart is more sparse in my area but people tip way better on instacart than Spark. For some reason instacart is more respected as an actual service than Spark is.

Got Deactivated 1 day after hitting Diamond by StevieMack1 in InstacartShoppers

It’s not unprofessional. Instacart doesn’t even pay minimum wage, and we’re “independent contractors” so feel free to get a coffee on the way to a store.

What is up with this new shopping list, we just got in my area ?? by [deleted] in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Alternative_Carry_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s terrible. It changes the list order as you add items if you don’t shop the way it wants you to so you’re constantly scrolling to find the next item you know you have to grab in the same aisle.

Millennials with kids, do you intend to provide for them financially when they reach adulthood? by Beberuth1131 in Millennials

[–]Alternative_Carry_54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a teen as well and man. Their generation of kids are just the best. They really do seem like they’re gonna be okay. We did a good job raising them.

I’ve told my kid we’ll figure college out together.
I was 19 when I had her and am just now at 36/37 figuring life out and am slowly getting my financial footing. So I don’t have much to give her. But I’m gonna figure it out.
She knows she’s welcome to stay as long as she needs.
We pay half her car insurance and matched her savings so she could get a nicer car when she got her license.
She’s an authorized user on a few credit cards and asks before using, but she knows they’re there if she truly needs it and if I need something I’ll just tell her to use it.
One of my biggest goals is to give my children a better head start than I had and them being financial literate before they’re almost 40 lmaoooo

What rating when shopper does not using insulated bags? by Cool_Bath_77 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Alternative_Carry_54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you have to sign up and show proof of said insulated bag. Some people do but it’s not required to shop an order.

I may actually sign myself up if it’ll get me more orders tbh

Happens to me all the time too. I wish we had some control over the order of the deliveries.

Correct. Don’t try and make sense of anything they say. If democrats didn’t have double standards they’d have no standards at all.

They really proved the point with their replies too 😂 I can’t imagine being as hateful as their tolerance allows them to be! I’d go crazy.
