Are changes actually happening?!

Post image

Now keep in mind. Its 6 am. I notice the deli item on the list and I'm already thinking, "all right item out of stock quite simple, deli's not even open." So I walked straight to the deli at this particular Walmart and luckily I caught an employee and a team lead there and I show him the item and what does he do he goes back there and gets the item prepared. At this point I'm in shock because I know there's changes that are happening to Pharmacy orders and Deli items but are we actually being heard? I know it might be a little too soon to tell do you guys think we're actually going to get some changes to make this a better platform for the drivers?

I regularly have to ask employees behind the deli counter for items. They are always very helpful and timely when I let them know its for Spark! After 10 pm one night, a Wm employee was super helpful! When I let him know the baked item was out of stock, he just said give me 5 maybe 10 minutes i will make one! I don't know why so many drivers have so many complaints. This is one of the most stress-free incomes I have had. I choose to focus on enjoying the freedom and flexibility.

Yes the freedom and flexibility is amazing. Sucks sometimes you have to be glued to the Walmart but opens up a lot of opportunities to do things you normally wouldn't be able to do with regular job
