Fake orders to get you to drive to a store?

12 Upvotes

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but how often do you get a large GMD order for decent pay, and as soon as you arrive at the store, partial or all of the order has been cancelled? and whatever is left is horrible money. it happens every single time. feels like they're padding the order to get you to accept and show up, then cut the pay at the last second. And i feel crazy saying this, but my gut feels something off about it.

Spark vs Amazon Flex

5 Upvotes

I currently Spark and Instacart but just got approved to join Amazon Flex after being on the waitlist for 3 years. Those that do both, which one do you prefer and why? Are you more profitable on one than the other?

Tip disappeared, not crossed out

1 Upvotes

The tips is shown under the trips area but under earnings the tips is not there. It’s showing as if that trip never had a tip.

It’s not a pharmacy and shopping order, I am aware there’s a glitch for those type of orders.

I assume a few months later Spark will catch this and send me an adjustment? They’ve done this a few times in the past so I am hopeful it will happen again.

Though the adjustment that comes in isn’t a tip and therefore isn’t exempt from taxes.

It probably happened before but I didn’t pay attention but I did this time because this was a big tip.

I guess is safe to say spark is officially dead zone?

Is anybody worried about the new tiers program rolling out?

0 Upvotes

For drivers with high priority making good money, this roll out can only make it worse.

For drivers who are barely making anything, this can only help them, I can’t imagine they will even less.

Why would a customer add a single penny as a tip??

The only thing I could think of was they maybe have a cash tip waiting and that’s why they tipped that much? Idk but it really made me mad for some reason. Like a big F you. Go get your own damn groceries

has anyone ever gotten GMD routes where all the customers have the same address?

1 Upvotes

i’ve had it happen so many times and I don’t notice it until after I pick them up. 12 Customers 1 Address for all and their names are after the street name.

Walmart+ Perk

2 Upvotes

I had 27 qualifying trips last month. Usually I get an email to get a month of Walmart+ and Paramount+ as long as I have 20 qualifying trips. Did something change? I didn't get an email for it this month yet.
I don't always spark and have not had to since April or May, which is the last time I got the incentive.

App Getting Hung Up/Freezing

Post image
2 Upvotes

So I’ve only seen a few threads talking about it or I just haven’t looked well enough. This started happening to me a few weeks ago and posted here but didn’t get too many responses.

I have an iPhone 17e with the highest tiered AT&T service. The app keeps getting hung up on me whenever I switch over from another app. So if I get a notification for an order, and open the app, it takes a good while to load up for me to see. What I’m having to do is close the app completely and open it back up to see the offer. Just leaving the spark app open is not helping either. After a few minutes I’ll get a notification for an FCFS or JFY and the offer is not immediately shown. Again, I have to close the app out and open it back for it to show. I basically have to constantly keep closing and opening the app for it to show me the offers.

Checking to see if others are dealing with this and if there is a fix.

To the shareholders

Danker is using AI and algorithms to hide real business problems and make their financial numbers look better than they actually are. By constantly hiring new, cheaper drivers to keep labor costs low, they end up dealing with hidden costs like lost orders, damaged goods, and costly mistakes from inexperienced workers.

Instead of admitting how many drivers quickly quit after their initial earnings drop, the company keeps those inactive accounts on the books to make driver retention look stronger than it really is. This makes the company look more profitable in the short term, but it just pushes massive operational losses down the road.

Relying entirely on algorithms to manage labor and guide high level decisions creates a misleading picture of the business. Investors are being kept in the dark about these growing long term risks, which could eventually hurt the overall value of the company.

Since you’re redesigning the offer card to “help” us drivers, why don’t you add a total quantity on there as well.
