@@YourDriverMike so you know that the only orders that go towards acceptance rating are the round robins… that’s when they send you a notification saying There’s an order…blah blah.. you have this much time to accept. Those are sent just to you. The orders that say “First come first serve” don’t go against AR. Even letting the time run out will affect AR, BUT for some reason when you actually hit decline, it’s worse. They won’t send you many orders as opposed to letting the time run out, they usually still send orders. Your market doesn’t look like it’s that busy since you only showed too locations close to you. They do Sams club as well. My market has like a dozen Walmarts & like 5 Sams clubs, so I see lots of orders!

My boyfriend does door dash in PGH when the weather isn't crappy and snowy as a side hustle. I'd say that from his experience, if you're close to a Walmart, this sounds like a better gig. Just because you aren't going to be driving all over the city's windy streets and you're going to be pretty much locked into one store.

My suggestion would be to help them load up and then rearrange the items in fewer bags. Which can get you a bigger tip

I used to work for the Walmart OGP department. The reason there are so many bags with one item in them is due to how the shopping is completed. Basically each department of the store or temperature is seperated for shopping at different times. Example: Ambient - Chilled - Frozen - General - Produce - Are all sperated and given to different Walmart associates to be shopped for. These departments can be further spread out among shoppers in order to make the shopping more efficient. The customer will choose a pick up time, for example, 2 pm. All items must be shopped for and sorted somewhere around 2 hours before the set time. By the time the customer, or in this case delivery driver, arrives the orders have all been sorted out and all that is left to do is take out the chilled/frozen items and dispense them to the waiting vehicles.

That's so shady... I work on all gig apps accept for Instacart because I was in it before it was hella secure and I had a delivery to the ghetto for a big a$$ order with lobster and ny strips and sodas and it was bout 500$ and my SUV couldn't pack another bag and I handed to lady at door and back and forth from the car and the app asked me to take a photo and she had the stuff inside and I knocked on door and no answer. I just took a photo of the front door and made a not handed to customer which is common in this industry and I was under the impression that the gps would show me at her pad for 15 minutes and our GPS on both phones in the exact area and went about my day. Keep in mind not one grocery bag more could have been fit in my car. I probably did 4-5 more orders after that in the day and 2 days later I'm logged out and I cannot log back in. She said I never delivered her groceries. What a scumbag. I missed my child support that week because the ghetto scumbag got me kicked off my app that I loved and I was a high volume bartender in San Diego at a very very good place before COVID so I'm a high volume worker and a great assertive employee and I'm fast at everything. The reason I wrote a book in this comment section is because spark requires you to choose a zone and I recommend that you do NOT NOT NOT NOT work in a zone anywhere near a ghetto because someone nice to your face with pictures of Jesus and someone you wouldn't believe would pull this sht will get you deplatformed and no judge no jury and you don't eat and your kids don't eat because they WILL lie and say they didn't get their groceries. You can choose to work in zones in super nice golf course country clubs like where the super duper duper rich live and you don't gotta worry about that

I’ve been using Spark for 6 months. Have never rejected orders and my metrics are great yet, i rarely get sent orders anymore. It’s really frustrating. I’ve noticed you get 1 trip an hour unless it sends you an express order. Bonuses are sometimes hard to get because it counts by the trip not my the order. So 1 trip can contain up to 9-10 orders sometimes. Those batch orders are usually single items or just a couple items. Also bonuses have slowed down now that the holidays are over. Oh AND! You can pick up from one Walmart and it will send you across town out of your zone to deliver which I think totally sucks.

Yes, this is so important (IE: LAST BATCH ORDER). I broke the system last week because I did not confirm that the stickers were on the bags. I dropped the first order off and then realized the sticker was not on any of them. After an 20 to 30 min wait on Spark customer service. I decided to return to the store. Where it took another 20 min to figure out how to get past the scan screen without a MANUAL CODE or BAR-SCAN CODE. Loaders were completely STUMPED. Eventually I was able to return the other two orders to the store after they timed out......I did catch a 45.00 Shopping order right after that. I had to learn the hard way. I hope this helps someone else.

Even if no one hires you for a regular job, as long as you can walk, you can deliver food. If you can bike, it's even better. And, with a car, the opportunities increase even more. You may not be making "a lot" of money, but would always make enough to put food on your table and have a roof above your head.

Regular grocery order offers come in around the 25 min mark of the hour. They want you to pick them up at the 45 min mark of the our. Express orders will come at any point given the nature of “express” Regular “grocery” offers have the a tipping option for the customer while the “express” offers do not because the customer pays an express fee that gets passed on to us “spark drivers” as a higher offer pay.

NEVER decline an order, let it time out. The loader should have removed the label that was on the bin and gave it to you. You scan that label at pickup and again at delivery. Personally I get maybe one out of twenty or so orders that require a signature. Spark also has shop and delivery that generally pay better. Just watch the item count. I rarely if ever take a shop and deliver with more than 25 items. You are allowed X amount of time. I have a few Walmart Spark videos on my channel if you or anyone else is interested.

I usually let them time out because if it's an offer I am interested in, I like to know if someone grabs it before it times out. Especially when they are adding money to the offer because demand is high.

I was thinking that too--that when you decline it contributes to an algorithm that counts against you. It's counterintuitive since it seems more professional to decline.

Walmart did you bad! I've done this before, and the tags on the bins are actually printed on stickers. The Walmart employee was suppose to remove those from the bins, and stick them on at least one of the bags. They usually have 2-5 stickers. Sometimes they put it on every single bag. You really only need one.

Another way to look at the situation is to base it on the time that you actually worked, not the shift. During your 'down' or wait time, one could make use of the time (run errands that are close by, work on other online side hustles). Also, I don't consider the time it takes me to get to the store. If a person had a 9 to 5 that wasn't home based, they'd have to drive to get to work.

I always make sure I get two labels for each delivery bc same thing happened to me. Got to house and was a no. contact order and I didn’t have a sticker to scan. I couldn’t bypass anything either. I had to drive all the way back to Walmart and wait to get a label reprinted. I ended going to store twice bc I picked up a door dash order then had to drop it off then go back to store to get the label so I could get paid for the order and clear my screen. 😂 Found out later you can get a Manuel label from chat support to put in in case something happens to your actual label . Its a learning process as you go. Things come up and lucky chat support is usually pretty quick

Is everyone aware of these fees??!!

When they give you that many minutes it's because it's just for you, that's what I was told by the help Customer service... And if you don't take it it's 3% off your acceptance rate.. If you ignore it it's 2%.. Your acceptance rate is very important in this application..

Weird. You'd think not accepting should be a lesser penalty than ignoring, because if you let the timer expire, as opposed to hitting the reject button, it means it would take longer for this offer to get to another person for consideration, and time IS money, after all.

You can’t see the specific items until you actually arrive at the store ready to pick up. If you can’t deliver an item because it’s to large or something Sparks support team will help you with taking the order off if you are unable to manually do it on the app for whatever reason there support teams are top notch. In terms of the single bagged items it seems they try to keep certain things separate like say medicines and what not from other items so I get a lot of bags that seem empty but upon closer inspection has one tiny item in it lol. Cases of water or soda etc always adds an extra trip to and from the car for me but typically I can haul a large order in two trips most of the time depending on how many canned goods they have and type of drop off house/apartment. In store pickups bring cart with you scan as they hand items to you don’t worry about order, then typically upon delivering the in store scan pick ups scan the items in the car then drop off take picture saves time. Side note I like how Walmart does the smiley face rating post delivery so you can double check quickly to make sure you delivered to correct address. In terms of typical order offer times Walmart sends out orders pretty periodically throughout the day so mornings I often get curbside orders from 7-9am. Then lunch and post lunch downtime is typically a good time for in store pick ups for me sometimes curbside pick ups too but maybe just twoish average. Then dinner rush is usually pretty slow but post dinner rush can be good from like 7-9pm for curbside orders or leftover in store pickups from earlier in the day. If you have a snowstorm coming into town or holiday run spark, New Year’s Eve we had a snowstorm roll through and I had so many good orders I couldn’t even keep up with them all. Also been thinking about buying a fold up cart in order to make long apartment hallways more manageable something to think about 👍

I've been a walmart in-store personal shopper, the reason why there are sometimes one item per bag is that one item might be from one department for example makeup. And the rest of the order might be food. It depends how many items are in a certain department, if theres one item for makeup and one item for camping and one for groceries, the order will just have single bags with the items.

By the way, I use several collapsible bins that I found at Costco and I have a great folding cart that I purchased at Sams Club for moving those big orders. The only problem with the cart is there are two wheels that you need to replace with larger ones when you are using the flatbed mode, but I have moved cases of water and soda, along with groceries with ease and the collapsible crates actually stack neatly when they are expanded.

Delivery was not good for me. Too many dented cans, damaged packages and thawed foods. A gallon of ice cream and other frozen items were delivered 70 minutes before the scheduled time and it was a mess by the time I arrived home to receive it as scheduled. I gave up and bought an electric autocycle so I can skip the deliveries by gas burning drivers and pick it up, no tips required. I also saved the $100 per year delivery fee. I charge my Arcimoto autocycle there for free at the Walmart charging stations directly next to the pickup bays. Some of you guys don't bother to keep prepared pizzas upright, or keep cakes and donuts with icing upright. I can bring a cooler with ice pack to my Florida Walmart.

I’ve never worked for Walmart or spark but have worked for a company that allowed doordashers to pack up stuff. I basically told our delivery people not to go above and beyond. People should understand that if you don’t go pick it up yourself, people won’t go the extra mile. These people only have so much time and need to complete as many orders as possible.

I currently drive for UberEATS and I got a stacked Walmart Spark delivery. Each said 1 package 7 miles. One was massive (case of bottled water and 4 gallon jug's of milk and juices and around 30 bag's of misc groceries and ect) all for $3.88 and no tip. And the 2nd one was only 4 bag's nothing heavy for $12.80 with tip. 2nd delivery was worth it but the 1st one was a nightmare that wasted a lot of time and the app timed out so I had to call support. If you drive for UberEATS beware of Walmart orders unless they pay extremely well.

You were asking about the bags with one item in it, I have experience in the Online Grocery Department at Walmart and the OGP department works in 3 teams, you have your team that does the shopping your team that does the staging "organizing" and your team that does the dispensing "bringing the items out to the delivery drivers and customers doing pickups". Each person on the team that does the shopping is shopping for multiple people at once keeping the orders separated between 9 bins and multiple shoppers might have a bin for the same customer. One of those shoppers may have only had to grab one item for the customer leaving a bag with only one item in it.

Most of these Walmart people DON'T want to do their job - this is PICK-UP so we are supposed to park in Pick-Up spots, most tell me I have to come up, but few that actually knows their job says you can wait in the car, we'll load it for you. Always the same type of associates not working as they should fooling around and ungrateful to have a job - maybe they should be on the street and have someone else that actually wants to work do their job right.

Some zones you are able to see the items when you click on it before acceptance. Your zone just doesn't allow it right now. Also always take a sticker off the blue bin with the customer name. You scan the sticker before you start delivery then once at the customer just scan that same sticker. Then you will be all set. Customers shouldn't have to sign. If it brings it up, the app should say just put a line through it. I believe it says that in the instructions.

I work for Walmart and that is the correct scan, sometimes depending on the type of order it could be on the bag or product itself. Groceries are generally on the bin. I kinda wish I could do spark, as for bagging there is no set way to bag. I don't work directly for home shopping (Ogp) but anyone in the store may end up having to do a pick walk ( I work backroom). Make sure you ask for one of the stickers it will make your life much easier.
