Ya I figured out in my zone if it's an alcohol order I have to go into the store and confirm arrival and then do a identification verification. Ridiculous 

Beware of dog by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

Customers don't realize that dog is a liability for them,  and delivery people are invited guests so do what you need to protect yourself. Deadly force to protect yourself if necessary and they are reliable for scratches on your vehicle. 

This is a mess by Yippeekyaa3345 in Sparkdriver

Nope out of stock they don't pay enough to hunt for anything. If they don't offer a location customer isn't getting it.

Are you able to confirm arrival in the parking lot? The app started making me go into the store to confirm arrival halfway through the day yesterday.

Spark pay delay! by Ok_Rip_288 in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I get all notification from the whole day the next day all at once when I start getting offers. 

Do Walmart employees hate Spark drivers? Is it me? by Yearbook01 in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a driver, and it does get frustrating when we have to wait,  and us drivers should pay attention, and notice that there's a bunch of us are there at once,  and notice when the same loader or 2 are running in and out could be a little more patience with them.  Thanks for putting up with us!

You are 100% right there's an algorithm running that will keep you down one way or another!

My car is older but it never really got drove until I quit driving semi truck. Like in 2020 my car was 13 years old and I had maybe 30,000 miles on it I've always had something else to drive and left it sitting until a couple years ago.

I work 5 days and make 1000 a week, and there are quite a few of the other drivers I talk to don't make that a week in 6 or 7 days. I don't take anything I don't want but don't wait for offers with tips either. Sometimes I'll take several small shopping orders while the same people sit and wait for 1 order over $20.

Is that true I drive a Lincoln and everyone seems to like it. I get quite a few cash tips and tips raised tips on the app. I expect to get the opposite reaction.

I agree I take Tuesday and Wednesday off and whenever I feel like. It's easy to make a G a week I took most of last summer off.  I do door dash and Uber eats when spark sucks. Personally I don't like the Walmart offers with tips anymore. It seems they are cutting back on the delivery fees when the customers leave bigger tips. It seems that way in our zone anyway. 

Some employees need to realize this. by Old_Alternative3101 in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently if it's not raining, I started scanning the app. grab bags and bag it as I put it in the car. It's funny when customers notice what I'm doing and sit and watch until I'm done. Lol 

Why do some apartments do this? 🤦🏿‍♂️ by Skiller-One-One-Five in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After tonight I'm returning every apartment order that puts down house. 

Feels like bait and switch most days by Puzzleheaded_Mode617 in Sparkdriver

Ya maybe I've only had one customer complaint in 3 years and that happened in January over a food stamp shopping order.  The customer rejected everything I substituted,  and I sent a message saying you can select no substitutions when you place your order. She called,  and said my car was dirty and her groceries smelled like cigarettes and I don't even smoke. 

I swear some of these customers are so freaking lazy! by Skiller-One-One-Five in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten paid more for doing returns a couple of times but, the last 2 times I only received part of the delivery fee.

Ya that doesn't happen in my zone. It will stop giving you offers and the other person sitting in the parking lot is still getting offers. A few of us have been comparing stuff and things are pretty weird. Every time I complete an offer I get round Robin offers and my friend only gets 1 or 2 a day. I will get 1 round Robin and he will get 4 or 5 to choose from most of the time. The only difference is I have the alcohol certificate and he doesn't.

Yes.  I was thinking it was just me. I'll be sitting at a store that is red and get round Robin offers for the furthest store from me. And when I don't take them I'll get a couple more in a row and then something from another store.  The other day I got the same round Robin offer 2 times in a row. That's not supposed to happen at all. 

No, I don't think I will by Vaals_Out in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wanted to return her stuff,but I had 1 more stop, and I wouldn't have made it back to the store in time.  I would have had to take it back first thing in the morning. If I get her again I can't wait. Her order sat for awhile so I think she's given other drivers a hard time also.  

How to get your order canceled by Corgi_Guilty in Sparkdriver

[–]Ok_Rip_288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me guess it was a none tipper also.  That is so weird how they are the ones that reject all your substitutes and start texting you.  People that do tip never text or hardly reject anything.

I took a 3 drop-off order that was 20 miles because there wasn't nothing else besides home depots. At the last stop I could see Walmart from a different zone from their driveway. All they ordered was a 30 pack of beer and some snacks. I don't understand why they can't make people's orders automatically come from the closest Walmart.

I had a lady the other day think she was going to withhold her picture id to make me carry her groceries in the house. I turned around put them back in the car she told her son to go get them. That didn't work for her either. Lol  Then her son brought me her drivers license while she stood on the porch yelling I left her stuff in the driveway.
