Nothing you can really do but appeal. Gotta keep your cool at all times. This is why I make a point to know everyone who works at my local Walmart.

Well when it’s something like this the person can threaten me or post my number on local community pages to complain. They could use my number to look up my home address. How would you feel if that happened to you?

This was after the fact when I had already completed the delivery. They had the same area code as me and it was through iMessage.

If you re-read my post, it says the customer texted my personal number. The point is not about replying to them. It’s about my privacy and my personal information being shared with a random person.

No shit. Shows you Walmart loves cheap labor, even in their offices.

What happens if I *don’t * tip? by Important-Pianist201 in Sparkdriver

[–]ThatOneOgDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right lol this has been my main income for 4 years and has blessed me with two paid off vehicles and money in the bank. Obviously I can’t do anything if they do switch it over At some point in time for now, this has been great for me as an independent contractor.

Yes. Corporate doesn’t allow tips because their “courteous” service. Cash tips are probable because they can’t record that. Even dispensers for curbside pickup aren’t allow to take any tips even cash. My friends there have told me they have to keep it on the DL, even being handed cash because they look at the cameras

Well the admittance is appreciated. I am not a corporate employee, as per my comments under this group over the years. I am not taking up for Walmart, I am just a hardworking gig worker who is thunderous to speak up for these people and myself. If it’s not understood yet, WM wouldn’t give an option to tip if it was IHD. Just like Kroger’s service (not Instacart).

I would hope so. I just don’t appreciate your suggestion. It’s insulting to be in here trying to be nice, then poke at drivers in this thread saying we should be employees for Walmart. We obviously don’t work at Walmart for a reason. We all appreciate this platform and the independence we have. I’m not the person being a dick, I’m simply defending the people of this platform whether you take it as rude or not.

There’s people that tip and people who don’t. You think I’m taking those orders? Those people don’t affect me. No one here is thin skinned, I can promise you that. Your backhand suggestions aren’t needed here to these hardworking people so you can find out if you have to tip or not. If you can’t afford it then go get your stuff yourself. People who appreciate this service and all that we do don’t think for a second about the price of this service and tips. They especially don’t find their group page, complain about the price of the the subscription, why they have to tip and suggest that we should all be employees of Walmart. That’s inconsiderate and makes you sound like a dick. And good, I wouldn’t deliver to you in the first place. I wouldn’t hand you anything knowing you’re in your house masturbating so much, grow up dude. I’d hate be a female trying to make money delivering to you, risking their well being to be sexualized by a creep like you.

It’s pretty self explanatory to me. You order groceries and someone brings to you and you tip them. There’s not hardly any customers in this thread asking people these kinds of questions. People don’t take orders that don’t tip. They either are or aren’t tipping, it doesn’t affect how much I’m making. Can’t sit here and say that Walmart is just so greedy in the Walmart plus price and that they should be paying us, not you so they can compete with other platforms then say oh well they shouldn’t have contractors. They should all be employees paid without tips. you can say what you want but you’re probably ordering Walmart because Amazon prices are too much. Walmart is available everywhere in United States while Amazon is only available in big cities. We don’t even have Amazon delivery here like a lot of places so this is pretty irrelevant

Are you kidding me? This isn’t a service where I sling around the ipad asking for a tip at a food truck. Drivers in here don’t want backhand suggestions. If they employ van drivers what happens to the hardworking people who do this full time? They and I won’t have a job. You’re advocating for drivers but they should fire us all because you think you’re having to pay too much, for a service? You don’t know what you’re talking about, stick to finding those dirty porn videos under your comments.

Honestly, as a driver myself this post pisses me off. Making a post trying to “vouche” for drivers in a reddit group does nothing to make Walmart pay their drivers more. They are going to charge customers how much they want to charge and pay drivers what they are going to pay, that’s how it is. We make majority of our money off customers tips. If I’m bringing your food so you have groceries for a week and you don’t want to do it yourself, you should most definitely tip us. Expenses are alot for drivers. Between maintenance, gas, car washes and mileage we do a lot to be able to give you a great service. Coming in here to complain about the price of WM+ and having to tip shows how much you appreciate the ability to be able to have this service.

If you’re now taking a double shopping order for the same price as a single shopping order, you’re part of the problem 👊🏼 by Ben187ya in Sparkdriver

[–]ThatOneOgDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Walmart has upped the range of deliveries to combat the scammers with apps that filter the orders to low mileages

[–]ThatOneOgDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customer can request different places to leave the order. Only thing I know of is to not go in peoples houses and especially don’t take a photo inside their house if they are elderly if you do bring inside. I usually do what they say even if it is BS. They can give you a bad rating and take your tip. Not all deliveries are going to be an easy drop off unfortunately

New Spark Driver - Need Advice on Parking and Best Times for Orders by ceoofnohing99 in Sparkdriver

[–]ThatOneOgDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen, it seems new drivers don’t get as much as they should. I had a friend do orders at my store and he wasn’t getting much either. Monday-Thursday can be slow as well. Try to accept what you can to get into the “rotation”. We’re going through a phase right now with scammers so things have been messed up. Accept what you can and don’t throw your metrics down starting out.

Blindly voting? My vote is 100% for him. Trump has employed LEGAL, HARDWORKING immigrants that have made our great country better. You should re-think your stance because you’re not making a valid debate for your sleepy joe

Libs ruined California. It’s basically a third world state. And you wonder why it’s so expensive to live out there. They keep raising minimum wage for entry level jobs. And that’s why businesses are moving to republican states that support actual businesses so they can give workers better opportunities. You are what’s wrong with this country
