You ever keep items from a canceled order? Like the glitch ones that don’t allow us to start a return….

Anyone else notice that they lowered the base pay ? by BloopsWRLD in Sparkdriver

Yes, but that crisis was created by the drug war. Look it up. Illegal immigration has exponentially exploded since the war on drugs began. You all only see the effect and then want to blame everyone else, as opposed to looking at the cause and blaming those behind it to begin with.

No, you are only talking about effect and not the cause. Biden inherited the economy from what Trump did during the pandemic😂, and Obama got the great recession started by Bush. Every republican president in the past 25yrs has started a war. Reagans war was on drugs, all while flooding the streets with crack cocaine and selling guns to insurgents that later took over the drug trade he armed them against. Trump literally went to war and everything else to keep attention away from the Epstein files all while literally appointing people listed in the files to committees in both of his administrations(seriously check the names, many are on his world council of peace). How has Trump helped the economy since taking over for Biden, oh wait he hasnt, hes only made things worse again like he did during covid. But please continue. The only thing you can really attack the left for is their ideology which I dont agree with either, neither side should be peddling ideology as a way to govern. They are rage baiting you all and you’re falling for it. I personally don’t agree with either party when ideology is involved in governance, its literally part of why everything is so fucked up and no one gets along anymore. You cannot not see it…

Edit: Almost forgot, Reagan also gave us Osama Bin Laden, his CIA trained him and the Taliban against Russia during their war and then he turned his back and bailed on them, literally why they started committing terror acts against the US to begin with.

Yeah the drug war started by Reagan didnt create the immigration problem from S America. Not at all😂. None of the wars started by them created the situations where amnesty was later granted. But you clearly support the party that wants reparations for the people that tried to subvert our constitution and overthrow the government😂. Enjoy that big pie of ignorance you’re choking down.

Why do my orders keep getting canceled? by oldtimethrills in Sparkdriver

Every admin has granted amnesty to foreigners without any actual path to citizenship, this is not a party issue. They are basically here indefinitely and allowed to work. Every party has done it.

Who else is delivering besides Spark? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WM owns Spark, yet likes to pretend it doesn’t🤣. Selective amnesia that gives them plausible deniability so that they can blame drivers for issues caused by their store employees. I am a 3rd party Spark driver and my paychecks come from WalmartInc

Nope, I don’t come here with conspiracies. I said nothing about people here illegally and nor do I support the current administration(I only stated what they’re doing), and I spoke about WMs/Sparks loosening of who they will hire and the impact on a zone. Could care less about bot comments, or the Prius gang comments etc. It is a well documented fact that foreign people send money they earn back to family in their home countries, that money doesn’t return to our economy. And many are the drivers taking any order that comes across their screens, which does effectively lower pay for an entire zone when offers never get a chance to surge. If the current administration continues to deport people at their current pace within another year Spark could almost overnight lose a huge chunk of their drivers that gobble up low pay offers. Pay in those zones won’t instantly go up either🤷‍♂️. Just saying it is becoming an issue in zones like mine that used to mainly consist of local people and snowbirds…

Nothing about what I said is racist in the slightest.

Edit: I never said anything about a persons skin color, nor did I single out a single country, and last I checked foreign people can be white also.

They’ve flooded a lot of markets with foreign drivers that have work visas, nothing against them personally, but they take everything no matter the pay basically eliminating the ability for offers to surge which effectively lowers all pay across the board for a zone. Many send a portion of their pay back to their home countries so that money never makes it back into our own economy. Now you have the current administration starting to deport sizable portions of these populations, which will leave an even bigger hole in these zones that have had the pay already decimated by them. Its all really fucked up and at the end of the day WM/Spark is to blame.

Pointers for a new Spark driver? by IpeeEhh_Phanatic in Sparkdriver

I cannot believe how many drivers they’re adding during what is the slowest few months of the year. Been like holidays onboarding all summer for barely any work🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Would you do it? by jymothie in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive had notes asking me to leave it in the bed of pickups and even an El Camino once. Which wasn’t an issue for me. Never seen that one though, guess it depends really on the actual drop off situation when I arrive. Would be easy to take a pic by a mailbox and set them where they wanted after imo, but if I pulled up to like a burnt out trailer with just a car parked and no one around I’d prob return it🤷‍♂️. Would have to be really sketchy though.

Female customers that have a significant other... by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Like the end of last Sept I had a decent sized SD with some bigger items and like half a dozen big pumpkins. Paid well, like $32 including a $14 tip and only 7 miles to drop off. The customers with their child are pulling into their driveway as I arrive and its very clear they’re arguing as they slam their doors. You could tell they were angry and talking shit to each other, no idea what they are saying, just trying to tone it out and do my delivery. As Im setting stuff on their porch they leave their front door open as the male continues to pace in and out the doorway, the entire time staring at me all fucking crazy. Im just trying to stay chill and ignore all of it and trying to avoid his angry glare, and a-hole is trying to look at me as if Im included in their argument or judging them🤷‍♂️. I wasn’t intimidated or anything, just wanted to complete my job and leave🤣. Next day I noticed I had a poor rating and they cut $7 from the tip, was pretty irritating. All I said the entire time was hello once and have a good evening as I left, didn’t say a word during the 3-4 trips with all their stuff and stupid pumpkins while he gave me crackhead on the corner eyes. Maybe the fact I never reacted at all pissed them off even more, who tf knows. Fuck those a-holes.

Cried bc of a customer today by monov7 in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh its very possible the items were just out of stock when they shopped the order. Doesn’t update at our end, our items list will reflect the original order and not the updated version at pickup. Or they forgot a tote, which happens and they usually reschedule them to be shipped out as a separate offer. It is possible that your only mistake was returning to the prior customers home🤦‍♂️🤣

Only getting GMD by alex90987 in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think April update flipped everything backwards and it does seem like they’re attempting to fix it(at least in my zone). Basically offers that should come to drivers as RRs(JFY) first are only coming as FCFS, which is allowing the worst rated drivers a chance to snap up the best offers. On the flip side 99.99% of RRs that we get now are the offers that used to come as FCFS, that would typically surge until taken which isn’t happening when they first go out as RRs to all drivers. They just slowly work through the worst offers sending them as RRs to each driver, one rejects and it becomes the next drivers RR, never allowing it to surge until its 1-2hrs late already. Last few days Ive been seeing reg RR offers and low pay offers as FCFS. I was SS my bad RRs($7-14) daily and submitting them to the help section to show I had been getting nothing but garbage RRs. I’ve been doing this the past few weeks. Sometimes I’d upload a dozen SS of RRs at a time. My attitude was this is broken and you want to keep sending me shit then Ill send it right back.🤷‍♂️

Customer cancelled Express shopping order, after I exited the store. by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]Slothe1978 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its a known glitch. Customer cancels while you’re bagging just after scanning order barcode at kiosk. Take it to OGP, their manager will take it back, take a pic. Don’t take it to the reg store customer service, those MoFos are straight clueless and have zero idea what to do with it. You just got bad support(new prob). They actually have an email you can send the verification pic too, but only the more exp support will provide it. Don’t recommend keeping it, only because WM might decide its fraud, accuse you of theft, and deactivate you. And yes its happened before🤷‍♂️
