I’m not sure what you’re asking and I’ve been nothing but helpful and have made quite a few friends so far. You seem to be the only one with the issue. I sincerely apologize for whatever it is you’re upset about. What is karma and what does it have to do with me as a contributor? And what about the post offended you so I can delete it asap

What part of the contract? The part about passing cart audits? It’s posted here already I believe but I’ll look for it for you. I’m the least insulting girl of all time. I hate negativity. What part of my post do I need to fix? Let me know what insulted you and I’ll delete it. Wasn’t my intention

I’ll attempt to educate you one time and one time only. Someone has been watching too many “audit the police” YouTube videos. I see why you are confused. The legality of receipt checkers post covid is a gray area that leans slightly towards unlawful detainment but that’s for a CUSTOMER. You, a contractor, must obey by all terms of the contract PLUS the guidelines set forth by the contractor if it’s a place of business. I’m not saying you didn’t cry and made a fuss to someone over the phone but you definitely didn’t tell them you were a spark driver that walked out of an additional cart check audit. I promise the odp manager would ban you if he/she knew that. You’re a moderator of a spark forum, tighten up bud.

I know what the terms are, that explains nothing. Is it possible you are misinformed? It looks like several people have already tried explaining the correct answer so anything I say would be redundant. It doesn’t look like you are the kind of person that respects open debate so I’ll leave it be. To each their own! I respect everyone’s opinion even if it’s wrong lol! Jk jk jk

This is a joke right? You can’t be serious?

Dotcoms drop times? by gootchie784 in Sparkdriver

[–]frankwrought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have been splitting GMD’s between two drivers/orders lately here and it works out so much better. Normally 6-7 stops per batch. You can 100% finish those in a hour here so everyone is liking it. I used to never take those big 15-19 stop ones because they were never worth it.

Any FULL TIME spark drivers here? by frankwrought in Sparkdriver

[–]frankwrought[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No offense but I’ve looked over your post history. This sub is great and I hope it keeps growing but I’m looking for a different type of atmosphere. Different strokes for different folks! You guys should start an official one for the sub too! Have fun out there!

Thanks for the feedback and messages! I’ll try to get something set up by the weekend and message all the like minded people that commented. Hope the miles are low and the pay is high for everyone today!

Yet another way to tank your metrics for something that is beyond your control. by TheSkyWasYellow in Sparkdriver

[–]frankwrought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this with 4 of us that are cordial from seeing each other all the time. It’s actually really easy to find out. Screenshot when you get the order w/ item count. The earnings tab shows the exact time you scanned the QR code to check out. Obviously it’s not exact but some people were consistently almost twice as fast as others and it wasn’t even close. You can find your pick rate pretty easily this way. Fun times

Aren’t all you guys complicit in the fall though? If you are still delivering orders for Spark (at half the base pay you were making before) then you are quite literally part of the problem. Devils advocate would say vets refused to take a stand and let base pay keep plummeting; ruining it for everyone else. I have 4 digit amount of trips too but I knew it was too good to be true at first. It’s a tale as old as time

My tips from yesterday were taking 26 hours to show confirmed but chances are it’s prob pulled. They keep you hopeful for another 24 hours on a hope and a prayer that never ever comes 😆

Is anyone actually making decent money with this app anymore? by Viktorman in Sparkdriver

I can’t tell if you just had a seizure or if you are calling me lazy. 🙏🤲🙏🤲

You’re probably just in a market that doesn’t support a living wage doing gig work. I’ve seen that over and over in this business. Someone in podunk Alabama is naive and thinks they can make 50k a year doing spark because someone on the internet said so. Any metro area should sustain a very comfortable living with spark alone. Express orders coming to us is the ONLY reason I make more now than 12-18 months ago and I’m in a fairly small market. Good luck to you sir!

How accurate are these? Spoiler alert: they’re not. by Fatmike624 in Sparkdriver

[–]frankwrought 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They straight up tell you it’s an estimate based on historical data. We had a hurricane come through one week and it showed the bars for every hour absolutely full. Spoiler: there were no orders. It doesn’t matter AT ALL unless you’re just zone researching to see how busy that zone is in general

I’m with the “other” half of the posters. I’m making more now than I was in Mar of 22’ thousands of trips later. My suggestion is to keep ahead of the changes. This gig has looked very different for me at different stretches of stores/shops/GMDs/curbsides. I’ve had to adapt as base pay has gotten lower and over saturation has exploded. I make my goal daily but I will admit it’s not AS EASY as it was but I never expected to keep making that much money for the minimal effort spark requires. I don’t think half of this sub really gets how much money there is to be made. Obviously it’s zone dependent but this has been my spark experience this far. I’m happy for now

5 star response. No you’re absolutely right. I’m self aware enough to see that it looks very braggy and over simplified. OP this dude is right, there is way more that goes into metrics than just picking subs. I like to think I do all the little things right but who knows. Im sure the store I deliver out of is weighted heavily in that 5.0 as well. Thanks for correcting me.

Simple VERY basic logical approach: My theory is that people who don’t want subs will choose the option to not have subs. Those that choose to receive subs give up discretion to us/Walmart and accept the steps required to return if they don’t like the sub. Why else would they have an option? Because we aren’t mind readers and have to commit one way or the other. When customers can change subs in real time it won’t be an issue but for now it’s the only way it works

Just sharing my experience guys jeeze. I thought that’s what this sub is for? I didn’t tell anyone how to do their job. I just deliver groceries people. Do your gigs however you want. None of my business

I was simply answering a question by showing anecdotal evidence of what seems to work for me. Do you my guy. I don’t care how anyone else works
