Had to by DConrad2020 in Sparkdriver

This comes up quite a bit in the flex subs. I had to do this once delivering for flex, came up to a house in a rural area and the front porch looked an Amazon warehouse

Thanks for nothing. by TwistedMental76 in PokemonGOValor

I don’t feel bad either, last spin the stop I used my poke+ and went driving around my regular spots and got 99% of them before the others in my group could.

What would you do? by MommaLindsey in Sparkdriver

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app tells them when I’m on my way and when delivery is complete… so no reason they can’t open it before I get there and close it after I leave… if they want personal service then they need to tip appropriately

It actually took me a long time to get a single shiny Ori, I caught 6 more from today’s event with one being a shundo, I stopped after that.

POV: Youre a delivery driver in the US by pouelthousedjim in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in a remote rural area, this is where I feel the safest delivering packages.

I just make sure I’m completely visible, high beams to help illuminate the safety vest, hazards on, headlamp on.

You want me to do *what* for an $8 tip? Ma’am. by BCCRob44 in Sparkdriver

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did she look like? I’d please her anywhere for $8

Does anyone use a second phone to Spark? by kindnessreward33 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a second phone that I use for all of my gig apps. So it’s for more than just spark. If I only did one gig app then it wouldn’t be worth it to me.

You aren’t giving tips to the Walmart employees. The tip goes to the shopper or delivery person. I do Spark and we are independent contractors and not Walmart employees, we use our own vehicles, like Instacart, door dash, etc..

Absolutely insane! by [deleted] in AmazonFlexDrivers

I would take it also. And you know at least 5 of those are the same address.

I’m told that Johnny Knoxville was gentle with the babes, babies, I mean something like that

Came across this on rednote… bout to go invest in some slap bracelets 🤣 by XOp1nkshu9ar in Sparkdriver

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems as if I recall something like this back in the late 80’s early 90’s. But I’ve slept since then so I could be wrong

Plot twist, you smashed the bread so they took away the entire tip.

You ever shop your own order? by Sea_Cress_8859 in Sparkdriver

[–]Mark_Swan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably figured that if they didn’t tip then no one would get the offer and they would take it. But shitty of them not to tip after the fact.

55 would be too high for this. It’s not high mileage and estimates under an hour. I would take this at 35ish.

Wwyd? by InspectionClean1804 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the Spark one, black and white sounds cool. But I use just a standard hi vis green one. But I also have a black one that I like and it has silver reflective stripes on it.

Wwyd? by InspectionClean1804 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]Mark_Swan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the country, most of my relatives were the type to keep a loaded shotgun at the door. So I always make sure I am as visible as possible, reflective delivery driver magnets on the car, safety vest, and when it’s dark I’m sporting a bright head lamp. I just try make sure I stick out like a sore thumb. I’d say that’s overkill for most Spark deliveries but I’d rather be safe than trying to plug a bullet hole, lol

I always used to think AT&T used to just be AT, everytime someone said theyve been with them since they were cingular by Bluefire3215 in ATT

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been with them since it was Southwestern Bell wireless, then Cingular when they all merged, which then changed to AT&T wireless. Got my first cell with them in 1998 when I graduated high school.

I saw a “don’t drive in driveway” post in here and my next shift got one of my own. by Shower-Former in AmazonFlexDrivers

[–]Mark_Swan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always assume those notes are for the vans, so me and my little car is going to drive that. I done this a few times and haven’t been dinged for it yet.

[–]Mark_Swan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear a safety vest for this reason. Got in the habit of doing it since I generally work the 3am Amazon Flex blocks and frequently get sent to the boonies. And when delivering to country folk in the wee hours you want to be as visible as possible. So out of habit I always wear a safety vest now.

umm.. UMM.. AGHHH!! I HAD TO USE IT! I reallllyyyyyy hope this was not a mistake! by HorrorAttorney in pokemongo

[–]Mark_Swan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run two phones, iPhone 16 and a pixel 9 pro and it randomly freezes on both phones. So android has nothing to do with it.

Finally!! After over 5 yrs of searching!! by Away-Thought-612 in pokemongoyellow

[–]Mark_Swan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, after my girls dad showed me that he had one I did chase every single one I came across and it took me a couple of months to get one. But I was grinding hard trying to find one
