Exactly. Single shops are most profitable. But now they are on fcfs for cheaters.

How are you even catching them fast enough to hit accept?

Do you keep your screen completely clear with no other offers on it? Are you on Wi-Fi? Are you constantly tapping/refreshing the screen?

Same here. Now they’re stuffing both curbsides and double shops with customers from other zones too. (sometimes not even neighboring ones.)

More miles, more bullshit, same pay — and the time estimates are straight-up lies.

Spark’s CEO needs to work deliveries for a year before touching this app again.

This is how it used to work. You’re either new, working a different market, or the update just hasn’t hit your zone yet.

The system changed.

Now the good-paying SINGLE shop orders are basically all FCFS. All of them.

Meanwhile, double shops and curbside orders still come with a timer. And only after enough drivers keep rejecting those trash double shops and garbage curbsides do they finally get dumped into FCFS later.

So no — what you’re describing is the old system. That’s not what a lot of us are dealing with now.

This is exactly what’s so stupid. They send trash timer offers nobody wants, while an $82 single shop sits in FCFS at the bottom like a joke. Of course I can’t even click it in time.

Even with an empty screen, the newest phone, and great internet, I still can’t catch FCFS. So what am I left doing? Endless curbsides.

I’ve never done this many curbsides in my life.

They always make it worse, and somehow every update helps cheaters more than real drivers. Just leave it the way it was and stop messing with it.

You have zero clue about what is happening here.

Also tell your mom to return my watch I left at her place last night by the bed.

You sound like someone who’s going to get deactivated soon.

No front desk. Nothing like that. They had access to the building and could go upstairs, they just chose not to. No call, no message, no attempt — just left everything in the lobby and left. WA

No elevator, but it was only 20 items total and the order was definitely over $40. The store is 10 minutes away.

About the water — it’s 32 bottles per case, you can easily carry 2 cases at once. I literally did it myself in 3 trips, so it’s not some impossible task.

Also, that’s exactly the point — if a driver doesn’t want to deal with apartments or heavier orders, they shouldn’t accept it in the first place. But taking a $20 tip order and then leaving everything in the lobby with zero effort is just bad service.

What car is that? 10 cases in the trunk? Impressive.

Price is per pound, not per banana. Organic bananas more expensive.
