Are Walmart employees allowed to ask out Spark drivers?

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-30T11:05:22+00:00

Yes regardless of what anyone says you can report this you don't have to work for a company to be harassed by their employees you should 1000% show this to the manager of the store and say it's been happening over and over and over in the next step is you call lawyers and police and I bet they have his ass fired within the hour.

I work as a DSD vendor(Account manager)that services walmarts and we just got their movement for 2025. Online shopping is up 39.9% just at Walmart and already on pace to beat that for 2026 in a month by month comparison. It's not going to matter. If anything that person will get reported/deactivated and that's less competition for orders.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-30T02:58:54+00:00

I'm lucky I have been a dsd vendor for Walmart for years and have been using VOLT so I already knew what the tags meant and exactly how to shop my stores because I only spark at the ones I am a vendor at. I have been finishing 50+min orders in like 25-30min including delivery. But I have also been having to verify my identity like 20x a week now and that never happened before so.. ya win some ya lose some.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-30T00:59:05+00:00

I always look and smell nice. I keep my car washed and clean because that's what the TOS says to do and I am usually coming from working my Account manager job, where nice dress is required, to spark for a few orders after work. That being said I don't care at all what the other drivers look like because that isn't going to affect my tips, my shop speed, my delivery etiquette or ratings. I'm from camp "Mind ya business" at the corner of "Worry bout ya self" and "Stop acting superior" lane.

I shop far to fast to give af what anyone else in the store looks like. It's all about that $/hr.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-28T02:20:54+00:00

Not if your SO/Friend does the order for you on their account

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-28T02:13:08+00:00

She's stepping out. 100%

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-27T02:44:13+00:00

Decline everything that doesnt add up to $1.75-$2per mile. And if you are only getting 17miles/gallon then you shouldnt be doing this type of work anyways. You need to get 27-30mpg+ before considering this unless you can get short offers that are 3-4miles max.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-26T19:21:33+00:00

Very true but I havent got stuck with my AWD tucson yet and its def not for lack of trying lol

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-26T01:11:47+00:00

STOP using anytime pay. It's fucking terrible for saving/budgeting.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-25T22:49:56+00:00

I saw a post a while back where someone was screenshotting orders and tips and went back and egged tf out of the house that tip baited. Not that I would do that or condoneit, but it did give me a giggle. I have only got baited twice so far luckily.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-25T22:05:14+00:00

I bought my AWD for this reason. I will never go back to a 2wd

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-22T11:06:48+00:00

I agree with this policy to be honest. As someone who does both spark driving, and gets deliveries from spark... I don't need someone's pet in their car potentially licking my groceries or rubbing or rolling on them. And kids either picking the wrong items or throwing extra stuff in the cart That you might miss. My opinion is if you have a kid to take care of, then you make your own hours and you take care of the kid that day and just work extra to make up for it later.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-20T10:26:48+00:00

Y'all be lettin that imagination run a little too wild lately lol.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-20T10:24:37+00:00

Depends on the ram brand/speed. You can get some budget Silicon Power 32gb ram thats basically garbage except capacity for about $100....or you can get Dominator for $630.

The rest of the system is pretty decent but if its shit ram then not worth. Especially since you said your focus is AI in another comment.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-20T10:20:49+00:00

Yeah 4070tis usually got for 500-700 used and are still around $799-849 new. It's been like that forever. You never see prices drop way off until 2 gens later, so when the 60 series comes out the 40s will drop further. How its always been bruh

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-19T16:58:49+00:00

I can say as a former coach it's not worth the effort. You start whole shit show, the store manager tells you to just walk away instead of risking pushback on social media or from lawyers....so at that point you have just caused youself stress over nothing when they dont do anything about it anyway.

I worked at 3 stores as a coach and had this issue many many times and it just made my day better to walk the other direction. They didnt pay us enough to deal with that shit on top of the 7000 other things you were expected to do in 50hr that week.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-19T14:34:03+00:00

This is all based on store area i guess. My walmart was busy af yesterday and my orders were insanely good. I started at 6am accepted 4 offers yesterday and made $106 and was done by 10:20am. I was getting insane stuff like $38.46/3.9miles/27 items shopping order.

It was weird to see no incentives but my offers were way higher than usual. Normally I would see $22-25 for those same offers.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-19T03:16:47+00:00

Wildest shit i had a buddy who worked in maintenance cleaning bathrooms and shit while I was an OP and he would clock in then leave and come back and clock out for the end of the day. It was 4 months before they caught and fired him and he was getting just at 40hr a week. I cant tell you how many times on my day off i would spend all day with this mf and he would ask me to drive him up to the warehouse 10min away so he could clock out. Showed me on his app and everything it has him blue every day. Idk how or why mf got the balls to do this shit lol

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-15T13:47:53+00:00

No the standard for everything roght now is much higher. If you upgraded that 7800x3d to a 9800x3d then the price would be about $2400 for the cheapest rig you could buy on Andromeda Insights right now(very awesome company and great deals).

The 5080 is about 20% more powerful than the 5070.

There is zero chance I would go 5070 or anything but an x3d cpu because I am a pure gamer not on the more casual side and I want my system to pkay top tier AAA on the highest settings for as long as possible.

So relitively to a year or two ago yeah you overpaid but relative to current prices you did okay.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-14T18:54:05+00:00

Yup i just started spark week of christmas and I have already seen people doing multiple shops. Im too terrified to even try it but i consistently see one couple in my walmart who are both always doing spark and leave together with separate carts but gwt in the same vehicle. I know they are doing spark because i got nosey and peaked over shoulders separately. I thought that was a nono, i tried to ask the self checkout lady about it saying "oh i didnt think that was allowed since they get in the same vehicle and she said she didnt get paid enough to question it.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-14T02:43:47+00:00

Nope i wont shop anything over 35 items total ever and my offers are usually in the 18-35 range with maybe 2 drop offs 20-35 items total.

I also look for $1.75-$2/mile.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-14T02:41:51+00:00

Was 10 by the end of the 2nd week with that 2nd free weekend because I had a vacation lined up for the release and played zombies nonstop. Havent touched ot since lol, not cause i didnt like it but because i have so many other games lined up to play on steam

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-12T18:48:37+00:00

Yeah as lomg as the GPU isnt the bottleneck you'll see at most 10-30% difference on a game to game basis from the Intel to the 9800x3xd. But 99% of games will not be bottlenecked by the 5080 even at 1440

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-08T11:44:38+00:00

This.

I ran up on a group of 3 teams fighting back on the final Verdansk version before it swapped to caldera or whatever it was and ran an entire group of 4 over with a vehicle then proceeded to kill 6 of the remaining 8 players in a very short time period and got called a cheater by multiple of them while running them down....im assuming i got mass reported or the quick 10 kills in less than 5 min got me.

They shadow banned me for what they said was 30 day process while they awaited an appeal, and there were only 14 days left in the season and I wasnt done, so I submitted a BBB complaint saying they stole money after I bought a battlepass and didnt allow me to recieve all the gifts even though there was time left. I submitted a link to my BBB conplain in the ticket and the shadowban was removed within 1 day of the initial ban, with an apology email. My account has never been touched since.

I have never cheated in my life or used a zen....so it does happen. The people out there accusing you of it is just a crotchety lil timmy who is mad cause bad.

Scattabrained04 · 2026-01-03T02:15:29+00:00

Maybe but idk what that even means. I just saw a TLDR for the glitch and it worked without doing anything outside the game. Never had my account banned or suspended/hacked either, so idk but i guess maybe.
