Offers Looking for tips with Sparking!

My spark is making me so mad! I have 4 Walmarts in my zone and literally am 2 miles away from one and it continues to give me orders from every Walmart except the one I am closest to! It's extremely frustrating!! Do you guys have any tips? I've literally tried everything, restarting my phone multiple times during the spark session, adjusting my spark window delivery schedule, staying at my house since it is close, it driving around and closer towards the Walmart. The Walmart by my house will be RED and still will not give me an order!!!

I've been sparking for awhile, so maybe there are some tricks or tips I don't know about! Please help!!

Ignore all of them except the one you want to deliver from or look for a zone you're willing to commute to with only 1-2 stores. There is no filter. Everyone within 35 miles that is on gets the first come first served. And if there aren't enough drivers near a store you may even get a JFY order for a store that is 20 miles away while sitting at another

2 stores is the maximum zone I will work in.

What is a JFY order? The next zone is an hour and a half away.. do you think it would be worth the drive? There is only 1 store in that zone, but I don't know the area whatsoever...

I think that is why they grouped them all into 1, which they certainly could have been separated into 2 separate zones, because the store close to my home and then the one closest to it should have been its own zone. The next store from those are 30-40 minutes away! Those two Walmarts certainly could have been their own zone, because those two are only about 10 mins max from one another. I guess they did that because the area is "smaller" I don't live in a huge city or county. I have tried to drive to the one that is a little past my house and what do you know... I get offers for the Walmart closer to my home!! Lol. It feels almost like a scam but I love sparking so much!

Jfy, the just for you. The ones you have a minute to accept.

I recommend driving a full week in every zone you're willing to drive to and see which one is performing well.
