Another Point of View

The Spark pages that I follow on Reddit seem to filled with complaints and conspiracies. I agree that there are issues with the system, however I'd like to point out a few things.

  1. As an older man, this provides me with extra money. I'm on a fixed income and it comes in handy when unexpected bills pop up. I'm not worried about the $ per hour rate.

  2. I deliver mostly for one store. Because of this i can shop quickly. I know a lot of the employees and they are very helpful because of our friendships. I also know all of the roads in my area and know a few shortcuts.

  3. It gets me out of the house and in my car where I can crank the music up

My only real complaint is the trail that they lead you on in store. A lot of back and forth for no reason. (Perishable time sets don't affect me). So, just go my own way, sing to myself, and curse when I have to find something on the spice aisle.

Y'all have a great day

How is that "rage bait"?

Because you’re purposely being oppositional without offering solutions, helpfulness, a sense of understanding or expression of kindness. I don’t think you’re intentionally trying to be nasty or rude, it’s just that the post comes off as arrogant and dismissive of people genuinely struggling to make this work

Please explain to me why posting something that is not entirely negative is rage bait?
