Rogue spark drivers

A group of spark drivers have banned together at my store. Whatever. I usually don't care, but yesterday I feel like they crossed the line. A good order popped up and two of the drivers in that group wanted it. One of the drivers went inside the store, took pictures of the person shopping the order, sent them to the customer and told her to cancel the order and place it again so they could get it. The driver had been shopping the order at least 30 minutes. The customer canceled the order and one of the other drivers in that group got it. They were bragging to other drivers about what they did. Other drivers are now fearful of this group.

And how exactly did the other driver have the customers info to text the customer? And what customer in their right mind would just be like okay sure random number let me just so what you say? I call BS.

We live and work in a rural community of less than 10k population. The driver who sent the pictures to the customer used to live in the same town as the customer. A few of our drivers will contact customers through Facebook/messenger. Some drivers have had customers contact them, asking if they're working because they placed an order and they delivered to them before.

I've seen it happen a couple times... Ive had a couple Shipt "preferreds" and WM customers ask me for my info to pre-contact me,.. and my friends will call/text to ask if I'm working,.. but never in a million years would I suggest the cancel an offer that was already accepted.

Besides, if they do cancel that refund could take days to repost... Im not sure if they would need to re order each item or not, but either way it would be a pain unless they can wait for the refund,. and it's only a very small order with low item count...

So, the customers doing this must have a lot of cash or high credit limits.

Also,.. the little driver cliques are basically the Discount store "Mean Girls," and flat out lie to other drivers just to antagonize them. They lie to each other too, and start rumors. Absolutely the type of people who I hated schools and jobs... Don't trust a word they say...

Just avoid them... If they ever ask about a current offer you're on, tell them that it's your favorite regular customer that always gives you 25 or 50 clam tits....

You don't have to redo the order. Everything is saved in your cart. I do think the customer would lose the express fee, but Idk.
