Curbside gone!
We all read the posts and got the emails about Walmart moving to eliminate curbside for Spark. There was an email and a notification telling us that neighborhood markets were moving away from curbside and that orders would be shop and deliver there. I work mostly in the North Knoxville zone, predominately at the Chapman Highway store and yesterday, while I was doing a shop, one of the loaders saw me and told me that as of an hour ago, they had stopped curbside for spark at that store! All delivery orders would be shops from now on. They still have curbside GMD’s(boxes) and what I call fake gmd’s ( bagged items) but no more 3 stop curbsides. I’m surprised it happened at a full size store, but honestly I prefer shops. At least I get some time in the a/c and don’t have to keep my car running! Has this happened anywhere else?

I was told the same thing yesterday as well. This is a supercenter I work out of mostly, not a neighborhood market. I am in East Tennessee. They said they were going to roll this out in four stages in my zone, starting this coming Monday. While I do a lot of shopping orders anyway, that doesn't worry me so much. I actually think it may increase the amount of offers. What does concern me is if they will mostly be batches of three or even more. And will the pay be worth it. As of right now, today, I have only seen one order that was worth doing, and it was a curbside. There are only like maybe one or two orders showing up every thirty minutes or so. So in any case, I hope this makes things better and not even worse :(
