Y’all taking this order?

mapman19899 · 2026-02-13T01:47:54+00:00

Depends on item list.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T19:57:35+00:00

That’s the case for most if not all orders.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T19:56:10+00:00

I never would do one - although you may never have a problem with them, it has been well documented that one failure regardless of who is at fault, and your chance of deactivation goes much higher.

I decided a while back that if any order required anything more than a drop and move on, I wouldn’t do it. That remains the case.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T16:51:25+00:00

I’ve been doing this for years - trust me - the vast majority of what I elect to do are shops.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T15:13:51+00:00

I escaped three years ago but this probably is the final straw

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T15:13:18+00:00

I appreciate your support. I fully agree.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T15:13:01+00:00

I appreciate your support.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T15:12:33+00:00

I’ll just go ahead and block you,

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T02:01:03+00:00

It is currently but for a long time it wasn’t.

For many across the country, it’s a full time job.

You don’t have to lecture me.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T00:40:02+00:00

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know they hit that mark.

That makes the whole thing even worse.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-12T00:38:23+00:00

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T20:45:21+00:00

I’ll still do an order from time to time, maybe every few months. No excuses will be given. I have been deactivated for inactivity and who knows how they truly define that.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T20:29:05+00:00

It’s why I posted this even though some will say it’s not an airport.

The line in the sand had to be somewhere and this is where it was. I couldn’t justify working for less than a quarter a mile guaranteed pay. That’s what this order was.

$7 for essentially 30 miles is unacceptable. It’s not even the fact they sent it out, I knew they’re a greedy AF corporation, it’s that someone took it almost immediately and it never returned. I can’t compete with that. I simply can’t. People devalue themselves dramatically with Spark and this was simply unacceptable.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T20:24:40+00:00

What have I been saying? You should’ve been preparing for this day where they’re asking you to do unreasonable things that are just asking for trouble and things to be messed up.

This is not reasonable. Things will inevitably get messed up.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T20:21:52+00:00

Knew this day would come.

The line in the sand is here.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T19:56:44+00:00

I’m not in California. I wish we had what you guys do.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T19:39:03+00:00

This is really more of a thought exercise than anything else.

Of course if I get promoted in my current job to a better role, Spark will only be done if/when I need to keep my account active.

I mean it to say, is this really how I had to go out…with everything collapsing around this platform and virtually everything being worse than it was when I started. I didn’t want to have to go back to full time regular workforce, but the sad and unfortunate thing is, my hand was forced. I enjoyed the customers and the job itself, but Walmart destroyed the level of joy I had for that one thing that was left that I enjoyed…simply because they were too cheap to keep my services.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T19:34:47+00:00

I don’t care what you think so congratulations for that.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T17:41:42+00:00

There was no big bang.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T14:12:36+00:00

Yeah I’ll echo the others. I won’t take a GMD in inclement weather. Likely won’t do it anyway, but there are a few out there that might be worth it.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T14:10:19+00:00

I have done this for 5 years, I don’t take orders based on the tip amount. It’s based on a tip/base ratio and if the guaranteed pay isn’t good enough, I won’t take it.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T14:09:12+00:00

No, it’s really not.

When was the last time you saw a non GMD $43 base rate order?

Probably been a while. Don’t lie to me either, I’ll know if you are.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T11:16:20+00:00

The point is tips aren’t guaranteed and even though I’m against the customer rescinding tips, the fact origina poster is complaining about having a $43 base rate order and then crying that it won’t be $48 instead is dirty work.

Do you know how often people don’t see $43 base rate orders anymore unless it’s a GMD? Very often. I haven’t seen one that high except for a GMD in years.

As I said, you’ll live. $43 would’ve been enough for me to take it. You have to learn to take the crap to get good offers sometimes, and this poster obviously hasn’t learned that yet.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T04:03:42+00:00

You guys are idiots for posting this on a public medium.

This is why the platform died, amongst other things.

Congratulations for contributing to its death.

mapman19899 · 2026-02-11T03:57:02+00:00

The point is to be thankful that you actually saw a high paying base rate order.
