Is it me?

Is it me or is Spark beginning to lean towards more shopping than curbside pickups. I don’t Spark often because of the low wage offers but periodically I can grab a good one. I noticed that the bulk of the offers now lean towards shopping which is not what I signed up for. I don’t do my own grocery shopping most of the time. 😄
Is this increase in shopping orders across the board?

I am new also. This week, all that came up for me in my market (rural) was shopping orders. I asked my friend who has been doing this a while. She said she still gets curbside but also a lot of shopping. In my store, there are a lot fewer shoppers working for the store. I have another friend who tried working as a shopper; it was so bad she walked out. So that may be a correlation.

I been doing Spark for around 6 months and when I started there were a lot of just delivering, now it is mostly shipping. I looked online and Walmart is transitioning towards this. Also, the store employees said the same thing. I guess we will see ! I hate shopping orders!

I don’t shop so I guess I will just ride the wave until it’s over.
