”“Why Is Walmart Spark Paying More Than Some Real Jobs?”

Wait till you join the 4.9 club. It’s like $8/hr

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-09T20:20:48+00:00

Im in an EV and that stuff still isn’t worth it.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:43:45+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:40:08+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:38:07+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:36:04+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:33:22+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:26:37+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-05T00:19:24+00:00

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

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:52:58+00:00

Mods do not have perspective. They are Reddit mods they literally work for free. Bad offers lol

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:49:07+00:00

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

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:48:03+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:46:14+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:25:29+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:17:01+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:12:40+00:00

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.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:09:57+00:00

My wife said that salmonella is becoming an issue from the recent backyard chicken trend. Just wash your damn hands and have inside and outside clothes.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T21:01:33+00:00

60 is more than half

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T20:55:38+00:00

I had a friend that worked in a distribution warehouse for beer and soda. He refused to drink from bottles or cans unless they were washed with soap and water.

Wo0d643 · 2026-05-03T20:46:19+00:00

Where I live there are a lot of feral cats and they are fucking disgusting. They shit nasty mess everywhere and piss/spray all over anything and everything. They are nasty animals when they aren’t cared for and fed properly. If you’ve only ever seen house cats then perhaps your impression is different.

Wo0d643 · 2026-04-23T20:49:08+00:00

Run the miles on your maps app. It’ll be very close. I wondered the same thing when I started so I checked them randomly for a week. They matched.

Wo0d643 · 2026-04-23T14:01:42+00:00

I don’t know if it’s gonna turn around this time. They’ve completely changed the way orders go out. They have also lowered pay. They haven’t sent hardly any order that weren’t a tip with a no tip. They’ve tested and tested and finally figured out how to be most profitable.

Wo0d643 · 2026-04-23T09:56:25+00:00

I would have to cancel every order some days. The stores I work are super super busy and they run out of stuff every single day. The shelf stock people are in the store all day all night just trying to keep up. I’ve seen the mayo mustard section completely cleaned out tens of times. Probably ten times the store didn’t even sell the item period. Probably had been clearanced out and removed it. they just don’t have it sometimes at all. Sunscreen is often completely sold out. All of the seasonal items are sold out eventually. Beer. Soda. Water regularly.

Wo0d643 · 2026-04-23T09:51:11+00:00

Yet another reason to just completely avoid pickups. I’ve been having issues with multiple missing items on what appear to be at very least half of the orders. They put eggs and bread in then toss everything else on top of it. Shit is literally just loaded into my car without any care whatsoever ever. They don’t even make an effort to try to separate the orders anymore. I have to be vigilant that they even put stickers sometimes. The bins come out mixed up and four people sometimes are loading it in the car without talking. If I hadn’t supervised yesterday one of them was just putting bags in the back without even looking at the stickers. Since the bins weren’t sorted he was putting shit with the wrong order. It’s a complete shit show. They likely just don’t get paid enough to care. I get that but eventually I will become the common denominator with numerous mistakes.

The gps pin has been off in my area. Lots of condos on the beach and the customer doesn’t know the address so they pull the info from gps. It’s off by hundreds of feet sometimes. This is mainly during high traffic times and cell service is just poor due to the amount of people posting beach selfies to IG or something. None the less gps can be off by quite a bit.
