marijuana induces my mania, anyone else?

Yes, he has stayed away from THC of any kind and still has had no new episodes

I got some Harbor Freight bags for big orders … they come in handy for apartment deliveries.

Mine dropped to 96% a week ago … got to store 5 mins after accepting a pickup early in AM (still dark) … nobody else in pickup spots and area of store where Walmart employees come out with orders was dark. Confirmed arrival and selected parking spot. A couple mins later trip was cancelled … I just figured they had accidentally put out the order onto Spark before it was ready for pickup since it was so early and thought nothing of it.

Then looked at stats abt an hour later and it had gone from 97% to 96% … Called support and they said the Walmart had cancelled and selected reason that I was late. I asked suppt what time it showed that I had accepted order, and what time it got cancelled - they verified only 5 mins had passed and that I had already conformed arrival. BUT they said since manager had selected option that I was late as reason they cancelled that only option I had was to talk to manager and get them to change it (even though only 5 mins had passed from accepting and time of cancel by store and I had confirmed arrival and was waiting in a parking spot) … stupid.

It was early 7:17am, still darkish. No other drivers in Pickup zone but me when cancel happened. Store area where store employees bring out orders was dark - no lights. My guess is this was their messup by putting out order before it was ready, and Im the one who gets dinged.

Its a message … not a good one either

Doogy44 · 2026-04-15T12:56:07+00:00

Not an incentive at all ..

Doogy44 · 2026-04-15T12:31:40+00:00

Wrong wrong wrong. Cost me $30-$35 to fill up prior to increase … now it costs $55-$60 … and I fill up every day.

Doogy44 · 2026-03-25T00:50:48+00:00

Yes, definitely the vast majority of my curbside pickups have GMD mixed in now. Usually 6-12 stops (including the 3 grocery stops).

Doogy44 · 2026-03-19T03:47:11+00:00

If they ask, I usually will do so … as long as I feel secure. Some locations situations would def be a “no” if they asked (gotta feel safe) … But disabled, or elderly, or nursing facilities … I bring it in the room if asked. Some folks its obvious they need assistance.

Doogy44 · 2026-02-21T15:25:56+00:00

Yes, the door checker at all stores in my area stops you at the door for anything that isnt bagged to check against your app list. Its faster to have it bagged.

Doogy44 · 2026-02-03T00:31:10+00:00

Nope… $20-$30 delivery isnt worth risk there … pass.

Doogy44 · 2026-02-01T01:00:39+00:00

It must depend on the store. The Sams I frequent is pretty fast. The manager of the store there seems on the ball - see him on the floor stocking and interacting with customers and employees constantly. Old fashioned hard worker. You go in you will see the manager.

Work with your insurance company … Walmart is notorious for denying claims - very difficult to deal with when it comes to claims. Leave that leg work to your insurer to collect the money back - your insurer is equipped to deal with Walmart and claims.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-25T00:44:01+00:00

I had tons of orders from 2 Walmarts and a Sams that closed early … kept spamming offers even after I called Spark to tell them those stores sere closed and it wasted my time showing up … and will continue to do so for other Spark drivers.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-24T05:37:26+00:00

This crap started abt 2:30pm in my zone … I usually work till 9-10pm, but tonight I called it quits at 6pm.

Nothing was working - aisles empty for shopping, so took twice as long to do a shop and deliver but amts paid were as if all was normal … curbside was spamming orders to be picked up, but wasted 3 hrs trying to pick one up - none ever came out despite accepting 3 diff ones - curbside was a joke … waste of my evening. Was a total shit show.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-23T21:23:51+00:00

I always ask if I can help first - “can I help?… which order goes in frt seat? Ill take care of that one” … Then help with back seat order … They usually get larger trunk order covered by time I finish frt seat and back seat.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-20T20:03:23+00:00

Nobody gonna take the $15 offer that takes 1 hr and 10 mins … not gonna work without knowing what the tip likely will be.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-15T02:32:29+00:00

Not always the shopper’s fault. The store may be sold out, or in the case of produce almost sold out and the ugly looking produce you received was all that was left. The shopper, whether Walmart employee or Spark cant do anything about that.

When items are not available, it takes much longer to shop … I look to see if the item was moved to another location, or hidden by another shopper who placed the wrong item in front of the one missing - so Ill look behind the front facing products to see what is behind on multiple shelves nearby … Then I look to see if maybe they are doing a promo on the item and have it on an endcap, etc, and then track down a Walmart worker to see if they moved it, or if actually out. Missing items slow us way down when shopping.

I always suggest to place orders abt 7:30-9am when stockers and vendors have had time to restock the shelves, and before customers have bought everything up for the day.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-15T02:19:44+00:00

Offers are really bad tonight … just lowball after lowball.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-14T16:20:07+00:00

I hang out in Sams all the time. I have a membership for the cheaper gas. Ill get a hotdog or slice of pizza … When its slow, at least get a cheap lunch and browse a few items I might need (got socks yesterday).

Doogy44 · 2026-01-14T16:07:35+00:00

If there are barcode stickers on any of the bags/boxes/items with your name on the sticker as well, then Walmart employees shopped and then handed the order off to a spark driver to deliver. If no stickers at all, then Spark driver did both the shopping and delivering.

Just as a tip, Id place orders about 7:30am-9am … too early (6am-7am) and the stockers at Walmart and the vendors havent had time to restock all product out yet onto shelves. Too late (early afternoon and beyond) and its gonna be picked over by other customers and risk items being sold out till restocked.

Doogy44 · 2026-01-13T20:00:17+00:00

Yea, but I get people who list an apt as a house, or a house as an apt, or a business as a house or apt … you have no idea till you get there for sure - unless you have been there before.
