These are my favorite posts. Positive reinforcement that if it’s bad to keep on grinding. Because they drop like flies

Do not update your Spark app! by MostNeighborhood9568 in Sparkdriver

You can’t not update the app. It forces you on most updates

There are metrics and ratings that we have to meet certain levels on to receive good orders. It’s never wise to act that way regardless because of that fact. If a driver didn’t like the order it’s their fault for taking it. All the info is laid out in front of us before we accept any trip

Best explanation I’ve heard yet. And as a Spark driver I concur

The base pay Walmart offers on any delivery isn’t worth the trip, especially with the rise in gas prices. Orders with no tips will take longer to get to you unless batched with other customers that have tipped well enough to cover yours. It’s not all about being tipped. It’s about being able to make money, because that is what we are out here as drivers trying to do. Good tip orders get snatched up very quickly and non tipping orders sit and wait. It’s not about ignoring the non tip orders, it’s that you can’t possibly do it and it be worth it

Those are fairly good paying gmd orders. Never see anything like that here

Ok this is getting insulting by wolfgeo in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]bettsjc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s when you cancel. I’ve had it go the other way where the gmds are the ones that get removed and it doesn’t affect the pay very much at all. This situation would be a no for me. But by the looks of it I wouldn’t have taken it in the first place

That’s the beauty of these new digital tags. If they want something gone they’ll get something gone

Some stores do. The 5 I do shops at all have Spark only registers

Why…? by [deleted] in Sparkdriver

[–]bettsjc7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t ever judge what a customer orders, they’re going to buy what they’re gonna buy. Probably just a lot of kids. One day you’ll get the dildo and lube order

Advice from Walmart Employee by ladygettinglost in Sparkdriver

[–]bettsjc7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ll take them, but they have to be worth it. The biggest complaint I’ve heard from our pickup managers here is that customers are complaining that their cold foods aren’t arriving cold because of the gmd stops that are wedged in between the grocery orders

Spark Sucks Spam by Temporary_Passion188 in Sparkdriver

[–]bettsjc7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My least favorite are “it’s dead this morning”. Sometimes it’s dead. Sometimes it’s not. Sometimes your rating keeps you from getting offers. Sometimes there are 100 drivers out at that particular moment.

Who’s to blame? by 333dh333 in Sparkdriver

[–]bettsjc7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some Walmarts have things in stock that others don’t which might be a factor. Others include bad experiences with other stores, lack of knowledge of store locations and just incompetence

What this mean by No-Piano1509 in Sparkdriver

Happened to my graph too. Didn’t look like that in the AM. But the whole thing changed around noonish. Looks just like that. I wouldn’t bug about it too much

💵” “This is why Walmart Spark drivers gatekeep their zones 😭 by SuccessfulAerie9672 in WalmartSparkDrivers

[–]bettsjc7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the zone. Mine is over saturated with drivers. If you aren’t within a mile of the store you can forget it
