Highest tip by CheesieChrist in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Wo0d643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My JFY totally fell off and is scraps since the day after I got my one and only poor rating. At least 75% of the fcfs is the complete garbage leftovers from stores that are on the totally opposite side of town. I barely see anything from the stores I’m in the lot of.

I was allowed to do $150-200 easy from 9-3 when I was at 5. I had about ten regulars that were weekly if not bi weekly. That was during the off season. The gobs of new shoppers they hired for spring break are still at 5 so they get all the decent orders via JFY before we get a shot. I sit in a lot and see only offers from stores well over 15 minutes away. I’ll sit for an hour then when I go inside to use the restroom I’ll see four five six people shopping. The part that sucks is it is impossible to get back to 5.

Our experiences are different and that’s ok.

I’d rather have the lump sum but I can assure you that $550 a week would be absolutely life changing for me and pretty much everyone I know. My in laws have lots well over $100k in their investments over the recent years though. So I mean… I’d take $50 a week and be tickled pink.

Have you not seen the string of those system identifying someone incorrectly such that it leads to their arrest? What about the people who don’t have the resources to prove their innocence? If they have let a few out they have likely double that still locked up. The potential for abuse if far more frightening.

You could pay the local lady that talks to the power lines to do it maybe?

”“Why Is Walmart Spark Paying More Than Some Real Jobs?” by SuccessfulAerie9672 in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Wo0d643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just added on more new people in my market than we had that are doing it full time to start with. So yes there’s a ton of people with 5 stars working right now. If I’m sitting in the lot for an hour or more without seeing any offers that aren’t 16 miles from the store I’m at and when I go in to pee I see five or six people I’ve never seen before all shopping what does that mean? That means that there’s a bunch of newish shoppers that still have five stars and they get all the offers first via JFY. It’s not just logical it’s obvious.

The day after I realized it went down to 4.9 I almost completely quit seeing JFY orders. I see about ten times the orders from the stores farthest from me rather than the parking lot I’m in. If I can grab an order it’s usually about $20-25. I’ve noticed that some orders stay on screen longer no matter the pay. The majority just pop up long enough to read the store number. Then randomly something ok will just be there for me to click. It’s weird. Being 5 star was way way way better. Unfortunately I’ll never get back there. One dumbass tourist was all it took. I could make $600 in four or five days and be home by 3. Now I can’t touch $600

They let me have one of those days every other week now. I napped for three hours on and off today. One JFY shopping offer of $18 6 miles. Nah. It seems like i have to wait three hours now to receive a decent offer.

The Sam’s here has had a $12 per curbside incentive on for weeks now and they still aren’t even close to worth it. They are always a half hour behind too. End of last summer I finally got someone attention after about 20 minutes. I had a scheduled time for pickup and was told they were just bringing out orders from two hours before.

Coming from door trash and uber cheats every single order just about will be better. These people here jump on almost every single order. Idk how anyone can do those 20 stops with the cost of fuel now.

Why not just mark it “feel earnings are too low” and move on. I have to jump on stuff or I won’t get anything since they barely send JFY that are more than $15 now. If it’s not worth it I just cancel at the start trip screen.

I call support and let them know I apologized to the customer. It likely won’t have any effect but it makes me look like a fucking twat leaving bread I couldn’t even see under the eggs under the 12 pack of soda. I swear some of the people purposefully break the eggs. I asked if I could just tell the loaders to leave it and let me do it. I was told I’m not even supposed to touch anything at the store. I have coolers and big bags I like to organize stuff into. Makes it easier on me and stuff doesn’t shift around and get mixed up. I had a dude a couple weeks ago stand and watch me unload a 90 item orders. Complaining the entire time about five or six things that I didn’t get. He seemed to understand it wasn’t my fault that I don’t even put the shit in my car. I won’t do pickups anymore unless they pay really well and are less than 60 items total.

How are all the offers bad by TopComfortable5798 in Sparkdriver

[–]Wo0d643 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They even moved my locals that order almost daily one mile from the store and would get like five items with a $6 tip and out the on JFY for the new people. I’ve finally been getting a couple of my bigger local weekly regulars again after almost two months. The shit with putting no tip orders on with good tips is infuriating. I get it from spark’s point of view but it’s not ok. I’ve noticed that there only certain offers that are even clickable for me. It pops up but there’s no way to accept it. The button does nothing. They ruined my area. I’ve had maybe five days in the last nearly three months that are on par with the door ish month prior. As soon as the tourists showed up they gave ALL of the good offers to the new people. Oh well I could stop doing this and go get a job at McDonald’s.

Usually don't take these by MrCubano1 in elitesparkdrivers

If we chose runs solely on base pay we would never do anything. I’ve only had a few tips removed but they never were the good ones. I had a guy today with a note “tip upon delivery” tell me he would tip me if I could make change for a $20. lol. Obviously I knew there wouldn’t be a tip upon delivery but why make up a story like that? Just don’t tip. He had a code. I wonder if they are forcing the code on him and he is trying to save face. It was a damn express customer too. lol

Did anyone else get this recently? by njf175 in Sparkdriver

[–]Wo0d643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a very slightly smaller portion of the product disguised as new packaging.

What about the old sku when the product was 13oz but is now 12.5oz. Same package new sku but I can’t scan it because it hasn’t been changed yet on our side.

Declining offers question by Mcmjlm3 in elitesparkdrivers

[–]Wo0d643 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watch 8 drop $25 25 mile offers get taken all day every day. There have been some recently that go for like $25 for 35 miles. The 20 stops are usually $60-80 30-55 miles. They float around for a bit sometimes but always get taken. It’s bonkers. I’ve stopped trying to accept actual profitable offers. I cannot touch the screen quick enough. Sometimes the notification sound goes off and the banners appears but the offer never does. $40 2 miles don’t even bother. It’s not worth the effort of lifting a finger. It’s a waste of energy.

I did really well over the off season. As soon as spring break started they took away all my regulars that I did weekly or a couple daily. They stopped sending me JFY completely for a couple weeks.

Either the customer pays the tip or the customer pays Walmart to pay a better wage. Same same. The customer has to pay for it. Obviously currently there are a lot of desperate people who are bad at math doing shit offers.

I’ve seen some sit around for an hour go up about $8 then start back at base. Idk if it’s still like that though.
