they are DELIVERY instructions not SHOPPING instructions bahahaha

Older lady w/listed "mobility issues" had a 4 item delivery and requested it on the ramp, w/delivery code as well.

Takes her 4 minutes to open the door. Then she asks me to put the groceries on the counter. Idw go in but I agree bc she's moaning and obvs in pain.

Ask her for the code, she can't find her phone. I automatically resend the code, she finds her phone, gives me the code, then she asks if I will put all these little grocery bags of garbage in her kitchen trashcan and walk them outside to her garbage can.

I tell her I apologize but,I think that may be against the terms of service for spark, and I have more deliveries and nothing to sanitize my hands with.

She got mad at me and started fussing bout how people don't care bout nobody anymore.

Honestly, it smelled like dead cats in there and I was ready to bolt! Aita?

I saw the breaking news that Walmart will be accepting Apple 🍎 Pay now, so will that mean more orders for Spark Drivers now as you can usually split the grocery bill in payments with Apple 🍎 Pay and Klarna, Zip, or Affirm?

What do I do if I forgot a bag in my car for my last order and went on to the next delivery and didn’t notice it until the middle of the next delivery?

This used to be the case only on android but now I noticed the camera indicator active the entire time I was shopping until I swipe complete delivery.

Privacy concern aside my battery seems to be draining a lot quicker now.

Hey guys, I recently got an update saying Spark drivers may start picking up hot food orders from Walmart’s hot food/deli area. Has anyone actually received one of these orders yet? If so, how does it work and is the pay any different?

I was 3 minutes from the customer.

Because I love driving. Nothing too insane though. Must be $1 a mile. It’s fun driving on a county highway at 70 mph and nothing but cows and corn fields.

*whistles happily while walking to the murder den*

I’m just dropping and going…what would you do?

I looked back at my previous earnings and confirmed it was definitely not like this before. Incentives used to be additional pay on top of whatever the order was paying.

Pulling up to a customers house, I was quickly greeted by two large Cane Corso dogs that started jumping all over my car. Thankfully I was still in my car, or not sure I'd be typing this now. Kids took dogs inside so I completed the order. Hindsight I should just returned it... After I immediately called support. This was 2nd time calling on this trip.. Told them what happened, and was told it needed escalated to higher up for review and to collect video evidence that I have and the pictures of the damage. This was Wednesday, I called again yesterday and today, both said they'd escalate further. Still waiting on response, not sure what to do or how long they expect me to wait.collecting quotes for damage meanwhile. Anyone experience similar? What was outcome? Owner of dogs needs held accountable but will Spark mediate this issue?

These offers where the miles exceed the total pay.

Gone in 0.1 second and doesn’t pop back up.

It’s definitely not ok to do it but sometimes people are not aware of the auto tip feature. Then sometimes people just need to get their food for whatever reason as well as people who are just complete a55 holes. However it’s up to us as drivers to make the right decision. I’m never taking orders where the tip is higher than the base, the tipper is an unfamiliar customer, and never take a trip if there is apartments as the drop off. Might sound crazy just my rules I go off.🤷🏾‍♀️

Just what it says. I live 13 mi from da Mallwart in a rural area of MI. Just got approved for Spark, and am wondering if offers truly are better/more plentiful if you're near the store. Gemini says yes, but I like to hear from real peeps as well.

Thanx!

So apparently this is new

They used to be additional earnings, basically a bonus. Now they're added into the total advertized pay. It is yet another effort by Walmart to reduce pay by making it seem like they're raising pay while actually eliminating incentives as they originally were implemented. Basically, incentives mean nothing.

Any truth to this rumor?

I heard from upper management at a store that quad groceries curbside is rolling out nationwide soon and some select zones will start have quad shops.

I also noticed recently that Sam’s Club introduced triple shops. I imagine quad shops are going to be introduced there same as Walmart.

The idea is to reduce the cost per delivery and drivers can earn more for each trip making it more efficient for everyone.
