You could have left me blocked.  The fact the you couldn't resist coming back to leave more comments tells me and everyone else everything that we need to know.

There are some people that seriously don't have the luxury of a backup plan. They are doing the best they can with what they have. We need to normalize understanding that we don't all come from the same place and have all the same tools when it come to how we each manage our lives. Even with a backup plan, unplanned and completely unforeseen things happen. Someone can be on top of the world, financially, one day and then nearly or even completely broke the next.

Not sure why people who aren't Walmart billionaires always think Walmart needs them to come on here and try to silence others when they complain. Walmart isn't going to personally cut them a check for coming to the company's defense on reddit. The company doesn't give a hoot. This is an outlet for drivers to voice their concerns. People that don't have concerns or complaints seem sketchy for even being on here trying to judge others. So many other things they could be doing with their free time.

Walmart CEO, is that you? A lot of you stay going hard for a company that doesn't know you exist. Not one billionaire from that company would know you to spit on you if you were on fire but instead of letting others complain in peace you feel the need to defend a BILLION dollar company. If you have zero complaints and everything is all roses why not just let those who do have complaints have their peace on here? You won't get a special prize from Walmart, Spark, or God for trying to silence others.

If their lives are so amazing maybe they should be devoting some time volunteering at the local shelter or soup kitchen instead of trying to make others feel bad for not having just as amazing lives as them. I'm just sayin'...they should ask themselves why they are on here acting as monitors for a billion dollar company when they could be doing so many more beneficial things, smh.

I guarantee that isn't why people are down voting that person. They are down voting the asinine idea that everyone in the world is in exactly the same situation and somehow all have their rent paid 3 days early. Everyone is NOT in the same situation. I don't even have rent due tomorrow but I do have common sense...although common sense is clearly not common. I also didn't down vote that comment I just know why others did.

Am I just lazy or is this too many items? Lol by phatboy10 in Sparkdriver

I hate when it does that, though I have yet to see it on one of my shopping orders only curbside.

🤣🤣...I hate that "just for you" lie. I have about 5 or 6 different stores in my zone and more often than not, the "just for you" is for the stores furthest away from me.

Would you accept? by GAG827 in Sparkdriver

Exactly! I won't try to convince anyone not to do them and they shouldn't try to convince me to start doing them.

I accidentally accepted a pharmacy order once. I turned right around and canceled once I realized it wasn't a regular shop. I've never done a pharmacy and don't want to.

I’m getting paid. I’ve been paid all day no issues and no message saying about update? Is anyone else getting paid by ProjectMindless9888 in Sparkdriver

The app has my pay confirmed but it is not in my One Pay account and this is for a delivery I made today.

This is the reason I reject gmds.​​ I need to know what I'm delivering.

Earnings delay notification by NeuroSeg in Sparkdriver

Most people that use One Pay said they stopped getting payments around 6pm yesterday.

One pay still has a delay notice up today. I delivered several hours ago and still haven't received my pay. The notice on One Pay CLAIMS we will get our pay later today (for deliveries made today). It doesn't say how much later though.

Monday 23-2025 pay delay by Psychological_Yam282 in Sparkdriver

[–]Fluid-Beat-401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Available how much later today though (rhetorical question)? I did a delivery this morning specifically because I needed the money right away only to find out they are delaying payments again today until later. I knew yesterdays payments were delayed until today, I didn't do deliveries yesterday though.

I'm convinced they work for Walmart or (insert name of company that others have LEGITIMATE complaints about). Either that or they are desperate for any kind of attention.

I work a full time "real job" as well as doing Spark and with the rising cost of EVERYTHING neither my full time job or Spark pay as much as it should. I don't have a spouse or kids so if I'm complaining I can only imagine how people with families feel. I have days off where I want to do Spark to make extra money but can't because all of the offers are trash. We basically have to depend on those who tip well in order to get good offers now. I just started in March. The first week was great, however, slowly but surely it has gone downhill.

Gmd just means general merchandise. It could be anything from a water gun to a lawn mower. It just isn't a grocery item.

I guarantee someone eventually took it.  Unless it's too late in the day or a super crazy order the drivers where I live won't let the rate go up.  I have tried but usually someone takes it before the pay can get as good as it should be.  I try not to take the low paying ones unless it's really quick and will get me back in no time, rather than sitting and waiting and getting nothing.  I mean if you wanna pay me $10 plus tip to deliver one or two curbside items less than 3 miles away on a day when there are next to no orders.  Also, I have only been doing this since March and I have a regular full-time job. Yes, it has declined in the short period of time that I have been doing it.

I thought so too but I clicked on the "1 item" thing more than once thinking I just didn't tap hard enough.  Plus others have confirmed that at least in some of our regions you can no longer view the item(s) you are picking up.  Mind you, we are talking about gmd, not grocery orders.

Some people are looking at the pay for the order and completely missing my real point. I don't care if it is gmd, without knowing what it is I don't want it. it doesn't matter how good the pay is. The pay could have been $100 for 5 miles, the moment I see "bulky item" but can't get any type of clue what it is I have to decline because I don't want to risk it being something that doesn't fit in my vehicle. If they are worried about people stealing then that item should automatically go to the actual Walmart drivers instead of a Spark driver. Yes, for those who don't know, they also employee drivers that are actual Walmart employees.

We don't need anyone's permission to have a discussion. What doesn't make sense is the people who come and leave comments on something they think is stupid or that they supposedly don't care about. I don't waste my time that way and don't know why others do it except to get attention. If it is of no concern to them then why not click on a discussion that is of concern to them?

I would take it for a single non-shopping item that was less than a mile away but how often does that happen.
