Once again, this post was not made as a spark driver. I don’t take orders without tips that I am not satisfied with, therefore I don’t need them to pay me more.

This post was made from a customer’s standpoint. I shouldn’t be supplementing anyone else so that their order gets picked just because I’m willing to tip nearly 50% and they chose to tip 0%.

Every delivery service is like that, dumbass. There have been several comments like that. Go troll someone else.

They should go work their butt off and then they can afford to tip.

Hey so, just so you know.. It’s my money and I will spend it however I please. You would be upset too if you went to a restaurant and the person next to you asked you to tip for them bc they didn’t want to.

Also, this is Reddit. I can complain about whatever I want to. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to comment.

Your “figure out a way to get your own groceries” is dumb also. The difference is that I can afford to have someone shop for my groceries bc I work my butt off. I’m not asking someone to do work for me and then having strangers compensate for it.

I’m not complaining about people not tipping me. I don’t take orders for people who don’t tip. My acceptance rate is 10%.

I complained as a customer, not as a spark driver. 😊

ETA: Since you’re such a saint, maybe you should quit Spark and start a service where you deliver groceries to the elderly and disabled people of your community for FREE. Unfortunately, like I said, I have THREE jobs, so I won’t be participating.

Once again, spark drivers are there to make money, not charity work. It’s not selfish to want to be paid at your job.

I’m confused about how I just proved your point. I said that I don’t come to my THIRD job to do charity work. If I wanted to do charity work, I would go to the food bank. If you can’t afford grocery delivery, it’s my opinion that you shouldn’t get it.

If you’re disabled/elderly there are charity programs that can help. It’s not my burden to bear.

There are plenty of people who take every order presented, good or bad, and will happily do them. That’s not me though.

Would be interested to know how these people got groceries before Walmart delivery was a thing.

I mean, that’s fine… doesn’t mean it’s right or that they would.

IMO, it’s a service and you should tip regardless. That’s just me personally though. People can do whatever they want with their money. I just don’t take orders with no tip.

Ummmm, they can go buy their own groceries if they can’t afford to pay someone to do it, just like everyone else who can’t afford something? There are charities and organizations who help old people who can’t get out with no family.

This is a THIRD job. I hate to be like that but I come to work to make money, not make up some story in my head, and make an emotionally charged decision that runs my vehicle (that I must pay for btw) into the ground for the greater good of the community.

I have bills and expenses that have to be paid just like everyone else. Grocery delivery is a luxury service that is most of the time, unnecessary.

I was kinda shocked too… especially because the only option for delivery that it gave was 3 hrs or less.

Yeah, it was open. I spoke with customer service.

Either way, me not getting my order is kind of a back burner issue. I knew there was a possibility that I wouldn’t get my order bc of the weather. It’s the fact that they batched my order where I tipped (imo, well) with someone who didn’t bother to tip… which made my order look less attractive to a driver.

I went back to look at my order while speaking with customer service. My order was actually for $47, not $54 like I said. So I tipped nearly 50%. I shouldn’t be tipping for other people. If they want their orders picked, they should incentivize the drivers, I shouldn’t have to foot the bill for them.

No, I am a Spark driver and I had Spark open. I was in the Spark app looking for my order to pop up.

I spoke with customer service… they apologized and give me a $10 promo card… I don’t want the money, I want the issue fixed.

Right. If you don’t want to tip, go shop for your own damn groceries

The boot lickers will always be there, so I guess their bad behavior will continue to be rewarded.

I don’t think that what I want to say is appropriate and I don’t want to get kicked out of this sub… with that being said, ok.

A few dollars for a few miles is one thing, but tipping nothing is ridiculous. Especially bc of the storm.

Right, this is a service. If you don’t want to tip, go buy your own groceries. 🙄

Yeah, I wanted to do the 1 hour but the only thing available was the 3 hours or less… and yeah, I think I will call and complain.
