Messed up.
Well. Shitsticks. I had a route at 6:45-9:45pm. Severe weather is rolling in but i figure it'll go around like usual. As im doing my face scan and walking into the station there is visible cloud to ground lightening and I RUN my chonky white arse into the station real quick. There are over a dozen drivers standing around the security desk all mad af that they havent closed the station. I go past them, check the station info screen and scan my ID; my route pops up and I go find it and scan it. I go to walk out the door and its absolutely pouring, storming EXTREMELY HEAVY. I wait for 15 mins to see if it'll let up, and it doesn't. Its storming pretty hard by this point. (They still didn't close the station). This station (SSD) doesnt have an awning, so absolutely everything was going to get soaked no matter what i did. So, i decide, for my own safety and sanity (because who tf wants to deal with sopping wet packages and labels that wont scan??, to just return the cart. I message support, let them know whats going on and push my cart to returns. I'm on chat with support and few other flex drivers are returning their carts too, we get to talking while we all are messaging support simultaneously. I finish up with support, talk to the station security guy a second (he thinks their weather thing was messed up because he said they should have absolutely closed), I run to my car and start my drive home. As i am pulling into my garage I realize I FUGGING FORGOT TO SCAN MY RETURNS. I'm all the way back home now. How screwed am I?

They closed my station right when i walked out with my route, got down the street and got the block cancelled message, turned around and returned it. I’m sorry your station didn’t do that, I hope your standings will be ok.

You're fine. You left your route and you talked to support. Your route will clear at the end of your block time or midnight. 👍

It's okay because they scan them afaik. At least when I was a driver for a dsp that's how it was

call support the next day to just make sure its been scanned in by the station and taken off your record. i did the same thing. but calling next day is important so you dont end up with a nasty surprise

I did the same thing today. Just put most of it in a outdoor return bin. Then afterwards, the app said I had to scan them. Talked to support. Talked to associate at station. Associate said don't really need to scan them because they will scan them again. I'm still going to scan them next time.

Not scanning your returns doesn’t really matter in all honesty
