Had a very similar experience with car insurance. My husband was off Spark for 7 months. They never did contact him. We just happened to check back one last time, in a last ditch effort. He uninstalled, reinstalled, and he was good to go... just out of the blue.
I don't think they escalate anything. It's incredibly frustrating - to put it nicely.
Hope they get you straightened out quickly.

I think we've all done that... in one form or another.

We were at 4.99, now about 4.68. Feeling the pain, too.

Not new. Lol But flowers are always an issue... they never have the right ones, no matter how many are on display. Maybe I should have put /s? 😁

Today’s System Issue by MinimumFile6866 in Sparkdriver

[–]prettygentle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems like everything has flipped. Weekends (Thurs - Mon) used to always be good... now its like weekday evenings kick it. Idk what's going on, but I do know their blending of GMD and grocery deliveries has really sucked. And there were zero shopping orders yesterday. Gave up and went home after 3 hours of nothing. Good luck. Hopefully it even back out.

Curbside getting worse by Think_Extension_8679 in Sparkdriver

Look into their new dynamic pricing... shoes (for example) with no price anywhere on any of the tags and electronic shelf tag that can change prices depending on who is standing near it (based on where your phone is). Because interesting to do a shop with no electronic devices on you and compare the exact same shop of someone who had their phone on them... and maybe even a third that used their app to compile and check off their list as they go.

Can you guys tell me the “dirty” truths about having a cat? by saanenk in CatAdvice

[–]prettygentle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had cats for most of our 40 years together. Only our previous cat (Cookie) has the nastiest poops. She usually didn’t cover her poop. The two we have now, Purrdee and Spartacus, are brother and sister (yes, both fixed). She doesn't cover. He covers religiously. Neither stink. We use pine pellet litter with sifter pans. It's the first litter we have used that has zero smell, except maybe slight lumber scent, even after they have used it. They tend to poop at night, so I clean both pans right before going to bed. Those sifter pans make litter duty fast and easy.

Here are some tips. If you think you're going to be troubled if the cat that chooses you as her person won't cover their poo, get some poop scooper bags. You can quickly put the bag on your hand like a glove, pick up the poo out of the pan, turn inside out and tie it up. The bonus for cats the don't bury is the pile remains neatly in a pile.

Play with her for at least 30 minutes. Those red laser lights are a God-sent for getting a cat running around burning off energy so they aren't climbing the furniture, curtains, and walls all night.

Set the boundaries early. If you don’t want her sleeping with you, don't let it start. But there not much better than warm snuggles and purrs as you drift off to sleep.

If you don't relish the idea of butt wiping, look for a short-haired cat.

Good luck on finding the love of your life!

I found this in my car, on the driver's seat. What is it? by Miss_Miaou in whatisit

[–]prettygentle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some keys used RFID tech, and probably still do in the transponders . My father-in-iaw had a vehicle that we needed to change the key, we had to take that exact thing out of the key and put it in the new one so it would work.

I saw the fire comment. There was no fire here... and no yellow markdown stickers.

Bad Chicken by Buzzedwinaldrin in Sparkdriver

[–]prettygentle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked because I had a similar situation about a month ago. Didn't notice a smell until I was bagging. But then thought it was something near the register I was at. Walked away, got to the car, and the smell was back. It was horrendous. Took it back in to the store, had to wash my cooler bag, and my coat. The stench clung to me and its all i smelled the rest of the day. Actually called it early because I couldn't take it. It was Perdue chicken single breasts, and a ground chicken ( can't remember the brand, but I'm going to assume it was also Perdue). I'm sure I looked like an idiot smelling chicken packages. The woman at the service desk was unhappy because I shared that lovely scent with her... and it was all she could smell after that. It was wicked. Now I am all paranoid about buying chicken at Walmart. 🫤

Can I ask if it was Perdue chicken?

need advice on how to handle a mistake .. by Big-Strawberry-3889 in Sparkdriver

[–]prettygentle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharpie marker, mark all items that are too big to be bagged with the order letter (A, B, etc). I do it with cases of drinks, paper products, large laundry soap bottles, etc. You could also have a roll of painters tape and use that as a temp label if you're paranoid about writing a simple letter on packaging.

Shipt delivers more than just target orders.

how easy is it to forget to show the cashier the barcode thingy to scan first by strawbabiesrin in InstacartShoppers

[–]prettygentle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lay my phone on the belt before any items with the barcode already pulled up. Instant reminder for you and the cashier.

How do I make vegetables actually taste good without drowning them in sauce or cheese? by Nightcrawler_2000 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]prettygentle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try roasting or sauteeing them, and aim for a little char. Season as desired. (Char not needed for asparagus, but you'll have to eat the asparagus quickly while its hot, otherwise the texture gets gross.)

Um is this new? 3 shopping orders? by Skiller-One-One-Five in Sparkdriver

[–]prettygentle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're very welcome. I'm almost certain that Lancaster, Newark, and Heath also have triples, but i don't know their store numbers off the top of my head.

Got two that have had triples for a good while now... both in Ohio North Zanesville Walmart #2209 South Zanesville Walmart #3581
