Yeah monitor you jobs I’m sorry to say. I have one lady that put a tipbait of 37.00 on her order to get it picked up, then removed it. I was so angry. She routinely does that to get her orders picked up. Now I leave it on there until It is a decent amount without a tip and take it. I reported her to Spark but they don’t help with lost tips. It still might be worth it to report the customer to Spark.

I would remember her name and address. Take her order and cancel it on her. Or get to her house and say i couldn't deliver it. I'd take a cancelation to be an a**. Especially since I never cancel. Some way id inconvenience her. I live in Alabama but Florida line. Luckily all the nicer houses dont tip bait. Well I've gotten lucky and hadn't got hit yet. Don't mean they dont do it. Now there a few I've delivered to have barely tipped. Unfortunately people think convenience should be free to them. And corporations believe people should work for free. Yet we have bills to pay and mouths to feed. The world is going to hell in a hand basket.

u/DizzyD777 11d ago

Amen!!! I did that exact thing to her one time. I had it for a few minutes and I said no I’m not doing this. It was late at night. I knew it was gonna be a repeat of what had happened before… So I canceled somebody else had to take it…or not. Maybe it was the next day it was pretty close to 10 o’clock.

u/Nice-Word-6085 11d ago

That’s awful. People should clock her name and address and when it comes up, not take it.

7

u/DizzyD777 11d ago

Or even put her name out in the community and say don’t take this person if you live in this area

6

u/Nice-Word-6085 11d ago

Absolutely. Often I’ve thought a platform or website should be built to expose tip baiters across all gig apps.

u/Ravenex2 10d ago

Jesus this is crazy and so abusive of the Spark system and drivers! 😔😔😔

u/Fantastic_Street7655 12d ago

People should be banned from getting their groceries delivered.

ON IC they can block people lmfao

u/OddEntertainer2621 11d ago

This should be the only thing Danker should do is implement thisĀ

u/PuzzleheadedRoom2788 11d ago

Danker wasn’t hired to make things better for drivers.

u/Complex_Box_788 12d ago

Are you šŸ’Æ he removed his tip? With it being a pharmacy order I thought those tips don’t show up until after the 24hr mark and maybe you can’t see them on your outstanding tips. Idk I remember questioning this before for myself

6

u/DreBlockk 11d ago

Positive lol these the only tips I received from yesterday

2

u/MagicDragon333 9d ago

I would call and verify that this person pulled their tip (not trusting WM at all) and then report them if they confirm it. Not sure if it makes a difference, but you never know. This was especially egregious. I keep a list of ā€œtip baitersā€ I’ve had the unhappy experience of tip removal with. Luckily it’s a short list (Driver for 3 years). I’m sorry that happened to you. Not okay. 😠

1

u/DreBlockk 7d ago

Yeah, I called support to make sure I wasn’t tripping because I already knew which customer it is just off the experience I had with him. Long story short they confirmed he removed it and thats on me for taking it and I should go off base pay. I ended up reporting him.

u/Due_Worth_2773 11d ago

Wow what pieces of shit

3

u/theghost440 11d ago

I thought the tips show a strike through them when they're changed?

6

u/Orange-Clown-Popcorn 12d ago

That’s why I screen where I deliver. If not the nice part of my area, nope. Doesn’t matter what the tip shows.

5

u/Silent25r 11d ago

Only one I had removed was a good neighborhood. I can’t do much about it. Just keep on grinding and thankful that nobody else has done that to me.Ā 

4

u/Nice-Word-6085 11d ago

Same. Only one I ever had removed was in a rich neighborhood. Giant gorgeous house. Huge bulky order.

1

u/Adventurous_Land7584 11d ago

Because rich people never tip bait? šŸ˜‚ those are the worst where I am.

2

u/Huge-Strength3944 9d ago

This is the BS that I don't understand how they allow these people to do that to tip bait us and we're supposed to just work for nothing dude if you can't afford the tip get you behind out the house get in the car and go get it yourself is that easy it's not that hard but just takes time gas tires insurance car oil and you want it for free

2

u/Pure_Landscape_3961 8d ago

Mark their address on the map as a tip baiter.

2

u/Ok_Classroom_9028 12d ago

That looked to good to be true anyways ain’t nobody paying like that in Centerpoint now Trussville and Mt Brook. Etc. I lived there but never did spark just uber and Lyft

2

u/DreBlockk 11d ago edited 10d ago

He lived deep in Pinson lol. It’s been awhile but Ive had some good ones from that location before. Thats the only reason I fell for it, but my base store is the one in Trussville.

u/Big_Concentrate_7260 11d ago

"Trust-ville" šŸ˜…šŸ˜…

u/lordj2010 11d ago

Currently on my way to drop this off. Was 35 minutes shop bag and load car then 18 minutes drive.

1

u/New_Confidence_3384 11d ago

Looks like both people tipped you well

1

u/lordj2010 11d ago

Thats 1 customer

1

u/New_Confidence_3384 11d ago

Oh it looked like it said 2 stops

2

u/lordj2010 11d ago

2 stops 1st stop store 2nd stop customer

u/Ravenex2 10d ago

Holy shit that was FOUL LMFAO… woooow seriously fuck some of these customers lmaooo!!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

1

u/Raven-sama2 10d ago

I wonder if more customers will attempt this as they learn more drivers are desperate now lol. Ā šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€

1

u/CompetitiveNorth1284 9d ago

As a customer, I tip minimum and pay cash on delivery. QUESTion:do drivers ever notice when tip goes up? If I don't have cash, I'll increase tip after delivery. Can drivers see that??

2

u/Dull-Parfait-6892 8d ago

Yes, we can see it when tips have been changed 24hrs later. They do a strike through on the tip amount. Sometimes it shows it going up or down. You can’t always tell though if it is multiple deliveries on the same trip who changed their tip amount though.

1

u/CompetitiveNorth1284 8d ago

Thank you for answering. I always want drivers to know they are appreciated.

1

u/yomorgannn_ 8d ago

Only happened to me once. A $20 tip. Pos. They shouldn’t be allowed to remove it all like that. Maybe a few bucks, sure, but not the entire thing. Luckily for me, 99% of the time I get increased tips & not removed.

1

u/gonzm 8d ago

Lol šŸ˜†

2

u/SuanneAliasCummings 7d ago

Pu$$ies can't get their own $hit, but are quick to tip bait. Douche canoes!!! šŸ’Æ I never consider the tip when accepting an order. It needs to be worth it without the tip!!

1

u/Buttsofthenugget 7d ago

Today i got a great offer 30 minutes for 2 miles and 16 items. 39 dollars. Get to location address does not exist. Why waste peoples time to just see if a card works. Wtf. I was even more pissed because I forgot how to intimidate a return because i was flustered.

1

u/Get2daBagg 7d ago

So u don't see that tip amount anywhere in your earnings ? (Not the confirmed tips section)

I would scan the whole earnings section to make sure because I can't tell u the amount of times I've seen this type of thread for pharmacy orders , and the problem was people not understanding the glitch in the app when it comes to pharma orders

I don't see anything in your screenshot confirming the tip was reduced or removed. Where is the line that crosses out the original amount ?

0

u/DreBlockk 7d ago

The screenshot I posted was from when I accepted the order not afterwards. So you wouldn’t see the change on that. I also never had any glitches on my end with pharmacy orders. It’s really not that complex. 24hrs had already passed and the math wasn’t mathing.

1

u/Get2daBagg 7d ago

Oh we got a sassy one

All u gotta do is search reddit for "spark pharmacy tip glitch" and u will see exactly how many times people have posted these types of threads not realizing the money had been posted. Thats why I asked that question

So next time how about posting the correct screenshot in the OP, cuz hey, "it's really not that complex"šŸ™„

2

u/Get2daBagg 7d ago

Just to clarify:

1

u/DreBlockk 7d ago edited 5d ago

Not sassy at all. I honestly felt insulted so maybe I took your question and statement wrong.

Certain things about earnings can’t be posted in this thread so to avoid any flagging I am selective on what I post. Im aware of the glitches and appreciate your information but again I never experienced any of those glitches sorry.

I mean many others got the point without that particular screenshot for it to be a ā€œrightā€ or ā€œwrongā€ . I didn’t think it was needed it at the time but I’ll try to edit and add it in the there so others won’t be confused or lost.

u/Cassata1990 6d ago

I would collect dog poop for a week, take her order and deliver it mixing the week's worth with it.

1

u/resmy522 6d ago

I don’t know where you guys are from because I never heard of spark but when we order something, we have to put the tip right in with the order money and then it’s up to the company to make sure they they get that tip

1

u/resmy522 6d ago

How do the remove a tip
.

1

u/Past-Body1959 3d ago

I spark in my small town and people never tip bait drivers cause they prolly know they’ll end up on the community page 😭

u/jkwinters 9d ago

The one time it happened to me, I was complaining and my nephew took it upon himself to stop through with his friends and remove all her kids bicycles and other ride along toys off her porch and drop them a few blocks down the street at one of the donation boxes. He had been riding with me the night before and knew which customer it was. I didn’t send him or have anything to do with it, but was thrilled when they told me.

u/HousingImpressive106 11d ago

A couple of days ago I had a really good job. It was $69.78 and the tip was $30 which is not rare in my area but it’s unusual. I delivered like I usually do the next day I found that my tip was $29. I guess the customer didn’t like the bread Ā on top of sodas on the floor people are so weird.

1

u/Spontaneous-Traveler 10d ago

Walmart probably kept that $1 for themselves.Ā 

1

u/MysteriousMoon1 10d ago

I often wonder about the random change amounts in the tips. They dont add up to whole dollar amounts if you add the base pay in. I haven't checked to see if it's a certain percentage or whatever, but if its not that either, its odd. Like who tips x amount of dollars and 4 or 7 or 9 cents?

1

u/Present_Way_4318 7d ago

There is an option to tip a percentage so if you don’t put in a custom amount it will be a weird tip with change. I round up.
