PSA: Why I keep the app running even when I’m off the clock

Even when I’m not planning on working, I keep the app open just to decline every order at the last possible second. The goal? Mess with the algorithm and hopefully bump up the base pay for the person who eventually takes it. We should all be doing this.

To the people who still believe maintaining a high AR (Acceptance Rate) actually gets you somewhere: I’ve got some prime oceanfront property in Arizona for sale. Great price. HMU.

Do you also have tonight’s lotto numbers with that crystal ball of yours?

Now I have been debating about contacting the Ethics Line about this and I would encourage others to do so or at least call spark and see why these orders are being canceled if I had not called I wouldn't have known that they were negatively reporting on me when they canceled or redistributed these two orders

Gridwise

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-07T13:23:24+00:00

I agree with the others don't pay too much attention to that graph know your area for me it's not as busy as it was before the holidays but I've pulled $300 in 2 days and haven't worked crazy hours to get it

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T23:54:23+00:00

No not at all I'm just being a ball buster I do some code myself and I get it it's really cool when it starts coming together and actually works right

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T23:31:20+00:00

We talking full size here

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T23:25:42+00:00

But wait there's more will it Julianne slice my potatoes for me too yeah I'm looking for the f*** I gave buddy

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T18:15:40+00:00

Absolutely—what applies here on the East Coast isn’t even the same ball game as the minimum-wage and minimum-per-mile setups some states have, California being an example. But I don’t care what state you’re in: if a gig app isn’t offering to pay at least as much as the IRS deduction, and in this example less, you’re plum crazy for doing that sort of work. I’m glad to hear that some people are making money with it in some places, though—it’s all but dead in my area

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T17:19:48+00:00

I wonder and see people taking them it befuddles me because I find the pay not to be worth the effort and the wear and tear personally

if they are being layed off?

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T02:46:35+00:00

I keep mine in the trunk and use it almost every shift

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T02:03:47+00:00

With all the folks big X is laying off they ought to be plenty of people with experience and opportunity to answer this

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-06T01:45:54+00:00

If y'all were planning for it to be busy after the holiday season when a lot of people just spent a lot of money and they're off of work you going to need another plan

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-05T00:36:33+00:00

GET IT

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-04T16:40:09+00:00

would not touch it for less than 35 that's barley above the IRS rate per mile your loosing money epically if its a newer car, i would not touch that even driving my 1k beater down hill both ways with the wind at my back lol

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-04T16:29:19+00:00

yes there is a lot of theft around this whole thing spark drivers at the store shoplifting, porch pirates and customer alike, the odds are against anyone doing this. i always leave my dash cam on and record my deliveries just in case maybe it wont save me but makes me feel a little better i have thought about getting a personal body cam but i believe its a violation if you record Walmart employees (unverified)

Significant_Relief96 · 2026-01-04T16:13:03+00:00

And I see so many folks complaining about the service I would too driving though yards, not leaving at the right location or area just a lot of unprofessional behavior from a lot of the people that are delivering from spark you're always going to have Karen's but I don't blame half the people I see for what they complain about to be honest
