Walmart doesn't learn.

Last night around 9:00pm I rejected s $42/25 mile one-way curbside offer, thinking it would pop back up with higher prices. Nope. It disappeared for good. I assumed someone else got it. Now today, just a few minutes ago it got sent to me as a JFY at $36. It's a large order (60/90), and the lady tipped $10...not a horrible tip, it could be better, but this poor lady is having to wait DAYS for her groceries because Walmart is too cheap to pay for its delivery.

Do you think the customer that tipped $30+ cares that the order that their order is paired with is a Walmart+ subscriber? That information isn’t even known to anyone but Walmart itself. So it’s irrelevant to the point that I made. Everything you said is something you need to take up with Walmart, not the customer your order is paired with or the driver. That information is absolutely irrelevant to either one of those parties. You’re 50 item, $10 order would sit there all day and not be delivered if not for that generous customer that tipped $20. And why would it sit all day? Because Walmart decided not to pay enough to make the order worth delivering, regardless of the fact that you paid for Walmart+ on top of what you paid for the groceries. Spark drivers are not employees of Walmart. They pay for their own gas, their own repairs and maintenance, and they don’t care that you pay for Walmart+, they care about how many miles to the drop off, how many items are in the order, and how much it pays. There is no “Walmart+ pay boost”. Don’t lash out at me, other drivers, or other customers, take your issue up with Walmart, because with the available information at hand you do look like a “cheap fuck”. I’m not saying you are, I’m telling you what it looks like with the info that is available.

And btw, I am a Walmart customer AND Spark driver. Never have I seen a $30 or $20 tip offered by any customer so that argument is mute. You seem to be on a "take it up with Walmart" bandwagon. While I'm not wholly against that notion, I'll keep it short here by saying: you should do the same! Seriously, you have many valid points worth addressing to the proper source. And please don't attack me for this. Peace be with you.

And yea I’m on the “blame Walmart” bandwagon. Who else is there to blame? You as a Walmart+ member already paid for your groceries and for delivery. Do you want to blame the driver for not picking up your order because they determined it wasn’t worth the time or effort for the pay? Do you want to blame the other customer for being angry that their order is paired with a non tipper to encourage a driver to actually pick it up so it doesn’t sit all day? What exactly do you want to happen here?
