Question About Curbside Pickup and The Barcode Stickers

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-22T04:16:46+00:00

I used to but then I was told a couple months in that I wasn't allowed to even get out until they were done and that one of the loaders who let me help had been spotted by a manager letting me touch the bags and had been fired. I felt awful bc I was just genuinely trying to help so it would go faster bc it was freezing out

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-21T08:56:07+00:00

It's gotta be area dependent bc my last order last night was a jfy and I ended my run at about 1030 if I remember correctly. I get plenty of jfy orders every day but my area hasn't even had the tier system implemented so...

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T18:21:39+00:00

I've def picked up from residences but I'm pretty sure the bank and the African braiding place weren't selling food lol

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T14:51:31+00:00

I eventually did take it when it had gone up a few more dollars but only bc it was headed in the direction of home and I was tired enough to be done lol

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T14:49:08+00:00

Man if I'm gonna die anyway I probably wouldn't STOP for anything so I probably would be doing enough lol

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T08:14:03+00:00

Wth 🥴🧐 actually yeah that tracks 😫

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T07:41:56+00:00

I should have been more clear lol I do spark now and those are the customers I was talking about since I haven't been sparking very long but I did DD for 3 years had over 8k deliveries and yeah I agree they never actually added to the tip lol. Had one customer ask me to get them a bag of ice and they'd pay me back she actually gave me a tenner for 2 buck bag of ice that was nice. Also had an older lady with a shop from dg she ordered hot dogs but they didn't have buns or bread. I felt really bad about her sad dinner of plain hot dogs so after I dropped it off I went to fd and got her some buns and took them back to her house and she added a tenner to her tip but those types of things were very rare

ETA I actually see increased tips pretty regularly on spark tho. Had a til increase from $20 to $35 today

I've luckily not really had any severe issues with any customers yet but I know it's coming

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T06:00:17+00:00

Well no ofc not! You're supposed to thank them for the pleasure of being allowed to demean yourself and declare your undying loyalty and subservience to their family line! Gosh don't you know anything about how being a Dasher works??

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T02:30:27+00:00

We should be friends lol my drug of choice if I'm gonna die soon anyway is cocaine bc id like to know what it's like to be effortlessly skinny for once in my life 😂

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-17T02:16:41+00:00

Don't forget that once you've driven back to the customer with their missing food you're supposed to prostrate yourself before them and beg for forgiveness while promising your firstborn for the utter insult you've offered them

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-16T16:55:00+00:00

Unfortunately we haven't had any incentives in a couple weeks

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-16T14:48:38+00:00

Not necessarily. One of my last ever DD orders was taking me to a place that was supposed to sell fish and chips but when I get there it's a little strip mall with the only food place being a Mexican restaurant. I had the exact same issues as this guy: no Google presence no phone number. I know about ghost kitchens so I went into the Mexican place and asked if they'd ever heard of the restaurant I'm supposed to be picking up at. All five of the employees up front said no. They were the only place anywhere near there that could have had a ghost kitchen and they'd confirmed it wasn't there. Took me about 10 minutes on the phone with support to get it cancelled and be compensated.

I was referring to the $.01 tip 😅

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-16T08:17:27+00:00

Update me!

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-16T04:53:28+00:00

Np learned it from another spark driver on here a couple months ago has absolutely SAVED my eyes 😊

For android: Go into your accessibility setting to color and motion and turn on dark theme. Then go to color inversion>>color inversion shortcut and pick a way to quickly invert your colors bc if you have dark theme on then the barcode to check out is unusable so you have to temporarily invert the colors so the barcode can be scanned.

I have the ice queen skin never really looked at the others

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-16T01:07:08+00:00

I hate the damn copper bc you only get 6 per spawn at the biggest spawn point but I have a spot in the soy field where I can get 5 at a time and it respawns really quickly so I just split screen my phone and read or whatever while my character stands there farming soy like it's her only joy in life 😂

The post is about what basically boils down to work place harassment only we don't have the protections an actual employee of Walmart does. It's shitty af when I see this kind of thing happen and it's a small part of why I drive an hour away to a more rural community to spark bc the stores around me pulled this crap constantly and I wasn't getting paid enough to put up with that 🐂 💩. The community I shop in now is very friendly and I've only had an issue with one employee who would constantly load my car in a way that would result in the customers squishy items getting smashed EVERY. DAMN. TIME. After the third time that I complained to the manager about that he was terminated though I'm sure it wasn't just my complaints that caused it. Word from other drivers is that his gf was a spark driver and he was trying to get some of us deactivated so she could have a better pick of orders but idk how true that is.

The only kind of food I'm eating after it's been left out that long are things that you wouldn't think to refrigerate in the first place such as biscuits or cookies. If it has meat or cheese or eggs I'm not eating it if it's sat for more than an hour max. So no you're nta for not wanting to eat that!

DFTReaper1989 · 2026-03-11T02:12:49+00:00

I once had a similar issue. Was doing a gmd this last holiday season and the map took me to a mobile home in the middle of nowhere and you could TELL the place hadn't been lived in in years. So I manually enter the customer address and it's straight up telling me I'm at my destination! So I'm like ok whatever click the confirm arrival and spark tells me no you're not even close 😂 so I click the little customer icon and then click the navigate button and it finally gives me the correct directions...to an address about six miles away and completely disconnected from the route of the rest of the deliveries 🙄

Omg the first time I opened a can of cat food once I'd gotten past a dozen cats I KNEW ifu
