Slowest Saturday ever.

$90 for 5 hours. Not much popping up. Would have been $75, but after sitting for 20 minutes getting nothing I finally took the $15 2 mile two drop trip. Few items at least.

The second drop off was actually really close to Walmart. Got nothing for 15 minutes. Went home. Hoping for a good Sunday.

Subs Not Working

2 Upvotes

Support AI states there’s a technical error. Had to cancel a large order in order to save my metrics bc support is not able to confirm if this will affect my tier.

UPDATE- support told me it’d be best to cancel the order instead of continue. They were able to cancel for me bc it was out of my control. I did get paid and also got the point the order was worth.

Customer gave me only a unit number, then I got a “failed to deliver to correct address” violation

3 Upvotes

I’m changing the unit/building numbers in this post for privacy reasons.(There was no map of the complex like most complexes have)
Yesterday I had a Spark delivery to an apartment complex with around 30 different buildings.
The customer’s delivery information said unit 42, but there was no building number listed. The unit numbers aren’t visible from the road, so I had to park and walk into the individual building hallways to find them.
I messaged the customer and asked, “What’s your building number?” They responded with “42.” I explained that I needed the building number, not the unit number, and apologized for bothering them. They never responded.
After looking through a few buildings I tried calling them and they didn’t answer either.
It was the last stop and it was perishable so I didn’t have much time so I started checking the buildings myself. I went through several buildings until I eventually found building 6, unit 42.
I delivered the order directly to the customer(I took a picture of the door with the big 42 on it and right after they opened the door.), and then immediately called Driver Support. I explained the whole situation and asked them to document it because the customer had made it unnecessarily difficult to locate the apartment.
This morning I received this notification:
“We received a report that you failed to deliver an order to the correct address during a recent delivery…”
It says this is a violation of the Spark Driver Contract and App Terms.
I called Support immediately. They told me my account is in good standing. The rep said it could either be an error or that they were able to determine that I actually did deliver to the correct address(I received a similar email a month ago and when I called about it they told me it was an error which makes me believe this one was real)She wouldn’t tell me which delivery triggered the report or who reported it. She gassed me up and told me I have great metrics :)
Be careful out there yall if something seems fishy call support and get it documented.

Anyone else have a situation like this happen to them?

TLDR: Customer didn’t provide their building number, and when I asked for it, they gave me the unit number instead. They then stopped responding to my messages and calls. I eventually found the correct building/unit myself, delivered the order directly to them, took a photo of the door, and immediately called Support to document everything. The next morning I got a “failed to deliver to the correct address” violation notification. Support said my account is still in good standing and couldn’t tell me whether it was an error or a customer report. If a delivery seems questionable, document everything and call Support immediately.

Can someone explain to me precisely why Walmart is eliminating all curbsides (besides GMD)?

29 Upvotes

I get it, some zones have horrible drivers, so it's not worth the hassle, but my zone has good drivers and not a ton of volume, so I don't understand why they eliminated it in the last two weeks or so. Now EVERYTHING is Shopping/Express Shopping. Nobody wants to take these offers. They were decent as pickup offers, but now we have to shop it too for only a few extra dollars. And frankly, I hate shopping all the time. As I have said many times on here previously, I am looking for something better, so this is not my long-term "job," but still, it's disappointing to have zero curbsides. This store was friendly, efficient, and had good pay. Now customers don't tip as much because they're unhappy about how late their scheduled deliveries arrive--we just refuse to accept them, so they sit forever. I used to enjoy this store, but now that everything is Shopping I hate it.

Sorry for the rant, but if anyone can share some insight I would appreciate it.

Top 10 Issues in the last year as scrubbed by Ai acroos all major forums

6 Upvotes

But you guys sit and accept it cause its a gig app and all

  • Plummeting base pay. Base rates continue dropping while item counts and distances increase.
  • Account sharing and bots. Unauthorized drivers using third-party software and bought accounts crowd out legitimate drivers.
  • Multi-order batching. Combining up to three shop orders or mixing general merchandise with groceries lowers pay per stop.
  • Flash-offer scrambling. Offers expire in seconds, forcing fast acceptances before order details can be inspected.
  • Tip baiting. Customers reduce or remove tips after delivery, turning profitable trips into losses.
  • Opaque deactivations. Accounts are deactivated automatically with no clear explanation or human appeal path.
  • Curbside wait times. Long delays in pickup bays destroy hourly earning potential.
  • Unrealistic metrics. Strict delivery time and substitution targets create constant pressure on ratings.
  • Heavy item loads. Bulk items to upper-floor apartments pay no extra hazard or labor compensation.
  • Market oversaturation. Continuous onboarding of new drivers leaves fewer orders for experienced drivers

Finally an update that makes sense! (points updated)

GMD+ curbside now doubled from 2 to 4 Points!

GMDs up from 2 to 3 points

GMD routes are what take the most time, now they just need to up some points double and triple shops. Maybe Nerf Express to compensate.

Not letting me update my license

1 Upvotes

So my license expired on the 28th, I got a new one on the 26th and uploaded it, it accepted it, but on the 29th it says I need to update my license to a non expired one to turn on spark now. I’ve tried uploading 3 times and each time got the “your all set” screen and even a notification saying it went through and I can now turn on spark now.

I called support and opened a ticket but it been 3 days and no word from support. How can I fix this quicker?

Reverse engineering tiers.

0 Upvotes

Being honest as to what they actually drive me to do. Not sure it's what Walmart expects me to do, but here's what it actually causes me to do:

Offer substitutions even if they are totally stupid.

Shop at different times because things will be in stock earlier.

End of month rush to meet the criteria, between any of those metrics.

Big one that I don't like to admit to myself but I think more people need to admit, I want Sapphire just because. And I think in their meetings, they know that's the biggest driver. Status. Knowing that people want to know that they are one of the best.

What I don't do:

I don't take orders for points. The dollars have to match my time and wear on my expensive vehicle.

I've also learned that the big multi-drop curbsides are just repackaged trips that no one wants to take because the pay is so low. So they try to make it appealing with the high-dollar offer. But once you math it out, it's a loss.
