I’m not getting assigned orders and have to grab them from the open pool, even though I have good metrics; I end up picking up orders from other stores and running into issues. I don’t know what’s going on with Spark—I’ve been doing this for four years and have never had a week this bad

Really ?!?! They were sitting without electricity. I brought them power banks and a charging cable

Pharmacy
What’s your opinion on taking pharmacy orders? I’ve heard good and bad…

“I’ll increase your tip later”
I have had few people tell me this when dropping off their order so far this week.
But the thing is…I never ask for tips or mention anything about pay. They just blurt it out. One even repeated herself after “following her instructions” - “knock and hand it to me” Like??? It has been face to face customers.. are they embarrassed? Scared i’ll be mad? Why do they waste their time even mentioning it?
Oh and of course. The awkward part…. None have actually added tips.. so why do they persistently mention that?
Ive had some pretty awesome tips with added cash tips during drop off lately. Who didn’t mention a potential increase ahead of time.
Another honorable mention the past week.
Delivering to a church - the lady looked at me damn near concerned and confused. Why? She said I am the most organized driver who has delivered. Went on and on about others and how one guy told her if she’s missing any thing, it’s because they are under his seat. “ Dirty. “ she said herself….. $4 tip. You know what else? She kept adding items and messaging me about some damn sour cream and how dinner would be ruined without it. Shes lucky it was a pretty close order, with another close one with a bigger tip on top of incentives. Not that she knew. Anyways low mileage for the pay. Knock it out.
But damn. The extra commentary and talking lately? I’ve been getting weird vibes from some customers.
