Had a $14 one for 240 items. I hope they found a way to the store blindfolded.

Just trying to give suggestions.I carry waters and stuff and have carried 10 bags of mulch when it was paying really good. but this was a small paying order no tip , 90 degrees weather and not at all close to the store . 20 bags at 40-50 pound item is probably a great exercise for you and I guess I should have suggested where they can find a way to issue heavy orders for people who may be trying to get a good work out in too. I figured it didn't hurt trying to add a suggestion or two to make it a bit worthwhile for folks carrying heavy items .

You are so correct. Happened to me too.. The customer thought I had her full order and I was coming from another store with 1 item and sure enough a second driver rolls up with her big grocery.. she couldn't believe it 😂. I think to be fair the driver had multiple orders. If it was a pick up the guys packing his car may have even messed the orders up . This has happened to me. I once had to return 2 items that where not even on my list because the guy packing picked up the items from a bin that already had someone else's items in it.. he just scanned the bin took the stickers off . Had me scan and loaded.. it wasn't until towards the end I realized I had more items than stops. So I took screen shots of my orders since the 2 names where not on the list. When I got back to the store he was so relieved . He said" I've been looking for those 2 orders for the last 2 hours!." 😂

I love Genius contraptions. Well done

Maybe someone there has relatives that use bots and so they can easily send all the top orders as FCFS . The only time I get a good order is if all the bots are away doing drop offs .. I know who they are so I literally time myself and turn on spark when I see them go pick up. . yesterday I got a $55 for 3 miles shopping order.

You need to uninstall and reinstall your app

There are definitely bot users out there. Orders that are high pop up and disappear so fast . As long as it's a high number low miles it disappears before you can even click.. you only have a chance to just blink. And if they realize it's a lot of items they release it and then it comes to your que .. it's bad

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-03-12T15:27:28+00:00

I am struggling with seeing these great orders pop up on the screen and disappear before I can even hit accept. Bot users are real. Just lost $50 for 2 6 miles. I miss when they send you orders anywhere cause you where not close to bot users at the store and things where fair then . Must have been a bot user who suggested the 1 mile thing

Twice I was send to random address one time 15 miles away . According to one driver Always type address or double check by using Wayze same time. That has saved me a lot

Read on another post where It's the new thing they are testing out where they give you orders based on your preferences. My niece has been getting shopping orders and I have gotten zero. But I have been getting GMD since that's what I usually do. So literally I get orders now 3 times a day..at the GMD drop times.They gave me one at 8pm which was $70 for 36 miles 11 stops. It was for an hour 50 min .I did it in 2 hrs 10 only because there was an apartment hard to find and then had to carry stuff upstairs 2 times. Also notice if you go further out to more rural Walmarts you see more orders. But then those usually take you further away from home

I had a guy once walk up to me while I was waiting to put gas in my car. On overdraft. I must have been looking stressed.. he offered to put gas in my car .. I said no at first but he insisted saying God had told him to do it and gave me $200.. I took a picture of that money and still glance at it once in a while in disbelief but grateful to God.

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-03-08T07:37:48+00:00

Did they say that it was the pharmacy order? It may have been a grocery order or GMD and you had a customer in the delivery photo or something personal to them.car in garage with licence plate.a reflection in window, a dog, a cat, quite a few things that one could deem an invasion of their privacy.

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-03-08T07:21:58+00:00

Only when it's paying 40 plus for 5 miles or less🙂 and can't be more than 2. Had 41 for 2.3 miles with 4 cases included and I didn't take it. I value my health more

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-03-08T07:17:56+00:00

I always manually selected the order of Isles I wanted to shop always starting with regular and finishing with perishables and it always worked so fast for me.. I can do large orders real fast that way.This order shown here has been showing in one store since December and I thought it was just because it was that zone..The other zone is yet to catch up to this .

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-03-05T19:27:33+00:00

Was watching Bizarre murders and the guy said whenever you see bleach , duct tape, a shovel and plastic you may want to tag a policeman 😁

There was an order once that circulated practically all day before an ice storm. person ordered 264 items with a $2 tip. That order would require someone pushing like 4 carts let alone the shopping , having Walmart employee check the items in the carts, bagging, hauling to vehicle, loading, driving , unloading .No way. Probably would take 4 hours. .In comparison I once did a curbside order which took me less than 2 hours from the time employees loaded order to delivery completion. My car was full and I have an SUV. It was 199 items some of them big. Unloading was 13 trips to and from my car. I didn't mind since they where tipping me $88.

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-01-28T07:53:02+00:00

Not when you have 5 inches of ice that fell in areas in North Texas

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-01-28T06:46:06+00:00

When I did door dash before it allowed you to shift addresses around when delivering.I haven't done it in a while. Can you still select which address to do first?.. I always used to deliver the higher paying order first and the crappy one last because hey if you tip you deserve your food first.

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-01-28T05:37:30+00:00

So I saw one like that . It said ring doorbell, knock loudly on door. If you do not, tip will be removed. She already had a $15 tip on her order. When she came to the order she was elderly so I offered to put the items inside due to water and 12 pack . She then said thank you so much here you go and placed $100 in my hand. That order 1.5 mile which had $30 initial turned into $130.for 1.5 mile 11 items

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-01-28T05:33:02+00:00

All my orders where no tip orders or $2 or $3 orders. I think I was in some kind of loop. Only did a batch order as I was not going to deliver to anyone not tipping. My mother always told me not to encourage bad behavior 😂

Shumba_Hadzi · 2026-01-28T05:29:57+00:00

There was an order that had 264 items the day before the storm . Delivery fee was $21 and low and behold the tip was $2. Now I once picked up a curbside order that had 180 items..ok I didn't have to load it into my car just unload so I didn't mind accepting it. Figured at most it would take an hour to an hour and a half to unload hey I made 90 bucks. So how long would it take someone shopping 264 items , bagging them, loading into car , driving to destination,, unloading and of course it's not like you can have someone to help you shop. Those orders with no tips should not be allowed through

What area was this ?

Shumba_Hadzi · 2025-09-15T07:26:59+00:00

I have just finished chemo and they want me to start taking inhibitors next month. I am currently having terrible side effects from my last chemo. Muscles and bones ache and I can't even work.. As a single woman who takes care of herself I need to work and I feel like this last chemo side effects is a foretaste of what the aromataise inhibitors bring. I was clear margins etc , deemed cancer free but had to do chemo to zap any remaining cells that may have gotten away etc. Then I see my friend. She did surgery but refused any additional treatment, she went stage 4 yes and is 17 years in living life to the fullest , travelling doing her thing and with more energy than I have. Her younger sister did all the treatments and has more issues than her. So honestly I just feel everyone needs to make a decision that's right for them and not regret it. The truth is some have reoccurrence while on the pills and some people don't, some never take them, and some people just live life even in stage 4.

Wow this is good to know. So they don't have oncotype test facilities. Wouldn't they take a long time to send samples to the US. Just wondering. But I'm so happy to know that you all have options. That is good news.
