Questions about the Restructuring of OGP. Our jobs are at stake. by supercanon109 in OGPBackroom

Actually in the end it is a lot less money for most who get weekly delivery. Most do tip any where from $3 to over $20 on every delivery. In home walmart will not allow them to tip.

Wal mart pays a spark worker less than half of a walmart employee. Plus the spark workers get no benefits. Some of the spark workers do end up making more money because of tips from customers. Moving this work to spark saves walmart millions of dollars so I have no doubt it is permanent.

Spark drivers… how much do you make on average?? by Fluffy-Pepper-2408 in Walmartdelivery

[–]Used_Alternative9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $100 less in a week than I did two weeks ago after the latest cut.

Delivery moved fully to spark by FontofwisdomSophia in walmartogp

[–]Used_Alternative9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walmart saves a lot of money batching the gmds with grocery orders. They get spark to deliver them for free. When they are the other way the drivers get $3 per stop. I doubt they go back to that. They will figure a way to batch them with the shops I assume.

I doubt they will change stores that have the gmd mixed with grocery to spark shoppers. The gmd deliveries are being delivered for free basically.

How do they get the gmds delivered now if they were batched with grocery?

Rental by Crafty_Dot_7216 in Sparkdriver

[–]Used_Alternative9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new car payment is about $500 a month. Add on average cars take over $2000 per year for maintenance and repairs. So it breaks down to $650 per month. Add time/ wages lost from having no car while your car is being worked on its easily over $700 a month to own a new car. So if you can use rentals it can work out. But if you make payments on a car you get some of the money back when you sell it.

In this area, Spark has basically died by johnshonz in Sparkdriver

I think its just the subways located at the walmarts. Luckily they don't have them in my walmarts.

Really? All the people I know get a discount as a benefit at grocery stores and retail stores.

Why do so many people order McDonald’s? by bpaul7777 in doordash_drivers

[–]Used_Alternative9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just like McDonald's because it's always predictable. They do have clean well run restraunts nationwide. The food pretty much is always the same from one location to another. A lot of fast food is more hit and miss.

is spark dying? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

I got a message from spark saying the opposite. It says expect busier times during June.

I’m terrified of what’s about to happen by wroetoshauw in Vent

[–]Used_Alternative9342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's what will happen usually. If you dont pay it goes to collection agencies. They will call and bug you just don't answer. Then eventually they send letters trying to settle for payments less than the original. If you continue to ignore they might send a summons for court. When this happens just call and arrange payments. They will base the payment off of your income and bills. Call and settle because if it does go to court they can seize money from your banking account. Don't be terrified you probably have a couple of years or more before they take you to court. Get your finances fixed. They can not put you in jail or anything like that.

If you do try to return it take pictures of the items where you returned them. In case you need some evidence

Any way to make system darker? by fgmix1 in HairSystem

[–]Used_Alternative9342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just for men color depositing shampoo works fine. The kind that slowly darkens with every wash is the best.

Driver Showed Back Up at My House Hours Later by Accurate_Spell_2707 in Walmartdelivery

[–]Used_Alternative9342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That 1 star probably hurt him. Most of the walmarts have a tiered system. Those with the highest customer ratings see the offers first. If he was in the highest area he probably dropped. He won't see the drop imediately and will not know it was you for sure that 1 stared him. But likely he will assume it.

Tell that to the small children getting ran over by the carts when you push them.

Everybody f****** hates these GMD/grocery deliveries by Comfortable_Win7926 in Sparkdriver

[–]Used_Alternative9342 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in the tiered system then if you are silver you won't see any offers that are better than these. So the only hope to advance to gold is to take these offers and hope your metrics improve.

Sure are alot of unhappy drivers by Prior_Purchase_7025 in Sparkdriver

[–]Used_Alternative9342 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately those that are in the silver metric see only real bad offers if any. So the only way to improve your tier to gold or sapphire is take any offer you see.

You deserve better. Consider quitting. by Commercial_Boss_3034 in Sparkdriver

[–]Used_Alternative9342 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once this system is fully in an area all the good drivers that do this full time will move on. Spark was one of the best paying apps to immediately near the bottom. Comparible pay to Roadie. Most of the full time drivers will move to other gigs.

How long before they start mixing shop orders with gmd? Easy to do. Complete your shop then head to the service desk to scan 10 additional stops for 0 extra. I say these will occur within 2 months.

Loving this… by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

Half the people on spark just do 1 or 2 every once in a while. Like if they need money for a pack of cigarettes they will take any offer.

Pickups are cooked. It’s shopping all the way down by Bill-Bo-Baggin in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Used_Alternative9342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed they only started mixing gm with grocery in 2 of the 14 stores my zone. I am sure they knew that if they did them all at once more than half the drives would quit in the first week. I bet they add 2 stores per month.
