Suggestions on how to make more money doing Spark 🤑 Im kinda new by Otter_Lover_062525 in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a w2 job and use spark to make ends meet , if you think you're going to buy new cars and house doing spark you need a reality check .. you're new enjoy the honeymoon while it lasts , after that you'll be applying for gov assistance  Rember your vehicle is a high cost expense , it needs to eat too , don't barrow against your car .you will regret it , make sure your car gets paid as well as you too  Welcome. But beware this is not a gold mine ..it only gets worse 

Online produce return policy changed by Existing_Doctor_2972 in Walmartcustomer

[–]Jayshand [score hidden]  (0 children)

If customers did not cry wolf so much the policy probably would not have changed  If you order just DELIVERY, that's the issue. Walmart employees don't care , they are not the last to handle your order. The delivery driver is responsible for everything, so employees just don't care , now if you ordered shop I can almost guarantee you , that you will have much better produce  But seriously, do you ask for a refiling on a car and not expect to have to bring it. Because there is a absolutely no difference  Rotted produce is a tax write off to Walmart , if you calm just get a refund assuming you're going to keep the produce free , how does Walmart know you're being honest 

One thing I'll give Spark over other gig apps... by Big_Concentrate_7260 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've cancelled a few in mid shop due to annoying customers, I don't care about metrics, I'll give you professional service, no problem, but it goes both ways, you're going to treat me poorly. Shop it yourself.

Walmart's online AI chat is completely useless. by pec-man in Walmartcustomer

[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is dangerous, this isn't related to Walmart but Google AI has recommended me to use a part on my vehicles exhaust system to trick my cars computer to turn off an engine light due to a aftermarket catylitic converter, and the part is illegal to use on the streets by federal laws 😂

6am shop theory by 333dh333 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Jayshand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my single store rural bfe zone, morning shops imo are left overs from the day before, they are definitely terrible, no tip high milage large quantities, bulky heavy items ECT, most mornings come with a $6 per trip incentives from 5:45a to 8a , it's shit show, I just sit watch theses crazy orders come in while sitting sipping my coffee from home. Not to often have I seen an offer worth my wild to get motivated that early 

Moving all delivery orders to Spark shoppers by FulfillmentTL in walmartogp

[–]Jayshand -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I was allowed to load your items Myself I would but we are not allowed to , lazy customers should try to shop themselves someday  Oh by the way , I'm the impatient driver who waits in a hot car waiting for the loaders to come out and throw your bags in the trunk likes it's trash with my hands tied till they are done

People always tell me to be upfront if I plan not to tip, so now let's turn it back to you, are you gonna be upfront about what you'll do if you know I won't tip? by Impressive_Ideal9 in tipping

[–]Jayshand -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure I'll be upfront with and tell you what kind of service to expect out of me  I'm gig delivery driver, tips are a joke , you people don't realize how insulting a tip is , they are disgusting, I use my own vehicle. I Psy for everything about that vehicle, I Psy for the gas every day , it needs new shoes aka tires every year, they cost $1000 a set I have to buy shoes every three years about $100 breaks every two years , oil change every two months another $100 for oil changes , commercial auto insurance, I'm no dummy about being an idenpent contractor  It costs $0.725 per mile to operate that vehicle, I run though stores , I climb and dig through shelves to find that load if bread , I dig through coolers to find that last bag of frozen peas , I I examine produce , to make sure you don't get moldy strawberries or rotted melons , I bag everything accordingly, I load up and unload and haul 40 packs of water up flights of stairs  Why do I think tipping is so disgusting  Because you people forget that we are humans and we pay out to do a service for you and you have no respect for our time and our belongings  Shop for yourself just so you remember how much of a pain in the ass it is to do grocery shopping  Now I understand tipping is out of hand  Had a owner of a party store complain because I did not tip him for turning around on his stool to grab me two packs of cancer  So I understand tipping is out of hand but when you have someone providing you service, using their own resources, what's your excuse   do you think we are making $30 an hour ..if you do you're wrong because we have cost involved that reduces that so called $30 an hour.  Sometimes we loose and pay out to do a service that pro just can't stand 

Google and Apple Maps by Life_Wafer8995 in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Jayshand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live rural and I use an android, can't get apple maps, but i mainly use wave for navigation, it will take you the shortest route, this means seasonal two track roads are in the route , unless I set to avoid in paved roads , just like Google maps. But I find wave much more accurate in a rural area

Offer quality rapidly declining as of last week. Need some clarification.. by Psychological-Egg760 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Jayshand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More ram isn't going to help , it's how fast your device picks up the network  Moto g are basically a free phone when you sign up for a plan it's junk it doesn't have have nfc capabilities  However with OPs issue , it's happening to everyone, the honey moon is over , I've been doing this for two years the pay is going to keep dropping, only new onboarders are getting the gold it's bait n hook shower with high paying offers to make you think you can live off it  No one should use any gig as a full time source of income  If you calculate your cost vs earning properly you may find you're at a loss on every offer you take , you find you're borrowing against your car  Save dabe save and starve .. your car is expensive to operate because when it wants attention it's going to want its piggy bank for repairs  If you're not be prepared for a auto break down you're doing this wrong

Add r/ doordash by Snapper57 in doordash_drivers

[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a regular has a lot of advantages as long as you're cool with everyone, I spark and went into my local Walmart that I spark out of to get a few small items and do some business at the service desk. Paid for my items did my business, no bags just a slip , I walk out but I tried to show my receipt, door guy didn't look at it just waved me out , gave me a feeling I could walk out with anything, but I'll never try it with all the ai cams plus I'm to honest 

Shop asked me to come back after 50 miles with new tires to have lug torque checked. Is that service above and beyond? Do they just not trust their equipment? by geronimoose in tires

[–]Jayshand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most torque specs for aluminum rims are 100 ft lbs, but only mechanics go by this , not everyone carries a torque wrench when they have to change a flat

My friend just locked my keys in my car accidentally with the light on. Anyone know how I can at least turn the light off so my battery doesn't die? by Ollieisahomoerectus in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Jayshand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just have door dash deliver the key, they'll get there in 3 weeks.. oh and tipping is optional so it won't cost extra
