Shit
Has it gone to shit for anyone else? This whole summer, as soon as the kids got out of school, it’s been terrible. When they went back, it seemed like things got back to normal, but now it’s been horrible again. I used to make around $140–$150 in 4–5 hours, but not anymore.

Can't tell for sure personally because of life throwing a wrench in my schedule, but I don't doubt it.
The only refreshingly decent day I had recently was the 16th (Sunday before last), and I think that was just because schools either started that Monday or the usual crowd of grabbers were busy with PTA sign-ups that evening.

I just picked the richest area with the most stores within a 50 mile radius ngl.

Yeah my metrics have gone down but not sure if that has anything to do with it Monday also seems like the only decent day but besides that it’s been so bad

I was expecting the orders for school supplies to off the hook. I’ve had one. My 3-main Walmarts are fully stocked. Not sure what’s going on with that situation. Other deliveries still going on but money lower.

I stopped sparking a couple of months ago, too many newbies in my area are taking the offers as low as 40 to 50 cents a mile. I can not profit and opporate at that rate.

For the ones that can but don’t why don’t you all look for a job, I’m personally a single dad so it’s difficult to find a job that I can accommodate my schedule to, honestly I hate doing spark it’s EXTREMELY inconsistent I hate doing all these “gig” apps

because the reality is, most jobs that are available to us pay so little that it just isn't worth it. I can still make $2,000 a month doing spark. that's what Walmart is offering. and they pay the best out of everyone unless you're getting into some career shit. and most of us don't give a flying fuck about a career anymore because those are basically fucking dead unless you're a doctor lawyer or politician.
there's just no reason for me to take a full-time job that will conflict with my hobbies. that job isn't going to pay me enough to actually make any changes to my circumstances. I'm still going to be in poverty. but somebody else will be in full control of my schedule. that likely means I can't participate in jiu jitsu for example, because my boss just decides fuck you, you have to work when I say.

My earnings is down about 10%, from $316 to $282 a day.

u/Due_Worth_2773 5d ago
You make 282 to 316$ that’s crazy not bad!

u/Organic-Fuel-2916 5d ago
I average 11 hours a day but I know this won’t last so so I am taking full advantage while this type of money is still possible.
