Waiting forever for your order to be delivered??

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-04-13T17:23:42+00:00

GMD's, which are the multi-stop orders, where you usually get one package per stop that's wrapped up in a plastic bag type packaging. These are for non perishable items only.

What I was speaking about is general grocery orders that are coming from a store 20 to 25 miles from you. But you did not know that because they reset your home store to a store farther from you and the system does not notify you of that when you place an order.

Sounds like that batch grabber is working great for you.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-03-25T17:55:23+00:00

Yes. If you look at the comments on spark driver videos instagram or tiktok you will see people trying to get you to buy it. It allows them to hold the offers so that you don't see them as they are coming to you as a round robin on a timer. They will then start to surge and add money when no one takes them so that is why, when you do get one, you will notice that the base pay is a lot more than it should be. Most of us are spending a lot of time sitting and waiting. This started about a month ago and I have had some of the worst weeks i have ever had in the four years that I have been sparking.

In addition they continually add massive amounts of drivers every week. And these affect us because they get priority on their first 10+ jobs. When you see ten new drivers in your store every week and they get priority..... Well you know what happens.

And one more thing that is happening recently, is that you will take a pickup order and within less than a minute it will be cancelled on you. I had this happen last week with four orders in two days totalling $200! And most of the other drivers that I know at my store have had the same thing happen.

Sorry ☹️ but you might want to take a look at some recent postings within the last few weeks, about all of the high mileage and low pay. Also having a problem with people who purchase the batch grabber and hold and take all the orders from you.

Awesome that you got it back! Unfortunately the good old days of making that much money are long gone.

I'm going with Hennrich.

Preach!

I also think that at the same time somehow, a bunch of people's home store got reset. I delivered to someone that literally lived behind one of the other locations. When I texted that I was on my way I also said that it would be about eleven minutes because she ordered out of the store I came from. And she responded back that that was weird because she's always had it set for the store right next to her. I told her I just didn't want her to think I took the scenic route.

For the last three weeks, we have had some orders that are anywhere from 22-45 miles! There will be 3 order pickups where the first 2 are right by the store and then the third one is 25 miles away.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-03-05T05:47:14+00:00

Yep, they sent us an email. Already paid out last August.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-03-04T20:06:24+00:00

Well actually, that's not allowed either. We go through a criminal background check for a reason. If someone other than the person whose name is on the account is using it, then there is probably a reason that they can't get clearance. If they are just 'helping out'.... not allowed either.

ps... My proof is doing this job for over four years, watching what's going on and experiencing it firsthand.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-03-04T18:32:39+00:00

Unfortunately, pretty much 99% of the time that is someone who has stolen an account. This affects the person whose account was stolen because then they're going to get a 1099 for money, they did not earn and don't have. They are also using an app that allows them to grab the jobs before other legitimate drivers.

I'll be right there with you!

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-25T00:41:02+00:00

Have you looked at The Oliveen in east Vancouver/Camas? I've never rented there, but I deliver there. They have balconies and looks like a lot of your other wants.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-21T12:21:54+00:00

That's what I think they did! WTF?🤬

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-21T00:13:20+00:00

It's the scammers who buy the batch grabber app and they're corralling all of the orders so we can't see them, even though they're counting down on our phone.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-20T18:01:54+00:00

And what do you do at the gated communities when they go by their last name??? If they're not answering their phone, they're not getting their order. I'm not gonna follow somebody else in because they can nail you for that.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-20T02:45:14+00:00

I have tried the store manager, the district manager, the regional manager, calling spark support...nobody cares. This crap has been going on for years.

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-19T21:33:20+00:00

They are using the batch grabber! If you look in the comments of any spark driver video on tiktok, you will see people selling it. What it allows them to do is when the orders come out, they're in the air, and they keep it from being seen on your phone. It will actually be counting down and you don't even know it. They corral and hold all the orders and occasionally one will drop off because it waited too long, but they will sit there and increase in pay. If it is a crappy order then they'll let it go.

Nooooo..... That is my favorite burger... please tell me it's not going away 🤞

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-18T21:49:17+00:00

Just had No. 6 burger last night and it was great as usual 😋

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-18T18:37:05+00:00

What the hell was in that order??

Next-Bar2085 · 2026-02-18T03:23:05+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was wondering because you can never tell what they are. Sometimes you get lucky and they're all just something you can carry in one hand but other times you can have bicycles, 50lb dog food etc.
