I love when she talks to us like we are naughty children, "See what I gotta go through when you go sliding around up there, * sigh *, behave." Or, tells us to "Hold still, you have something on your face. "😂😂😂
In my opinion, there should be a weight limit on the types of things you are expected to deliver. Such as cases of water, 40-80 lbs. of dog food or TV's. That seems a little ridiculous!?!
I did insta cart for a while and 1 customer ordered 4 cases water , 3 different gallons of juices.and app said just leave in front of door ,$3 tip... she lived on 3rd floor of apt building with no elevator... crazy
I do Spark - almost 10 months now. I find it easier to shop non-food items then move to the food side to finish shop. I’m usually in and out in no time. The app will allow you to jump around on the list. I do more Spark over DD UE GH Shipt. I live around 3 Walmart stores. Once you find your groove you will find it a great app to earn on. Hope this helps.
I JUST started Spark and I LOVE it I don't take shopping orders I look at the incentives and they are always worth it around here there's always orders to be had even the bad orders are worth it with the incentives. I haven't had to wait for too long for an order...yet. With DD and UE I I was making maybe $20 an hr with Spark it is $35 or more.
I couldn’t help but laugh when you were talking up trying the shopping order just to have no carts available when you walked in. You were trying so hard to be positive about it! 😂 I’m glad you found one quickly.
Only the orders with a timer will affect your AR but don’t take crap orders . and yes, you can make good $ with spark but you have to learn the strategies. Turn your app at the 20 mark of each hour for curbside pickups. At the beginning of each hour for shop and deliver orders. If I’m on an order I will turn off spark now till the 20 mark of next hour . Take your time to check orders so you don’t get stuck with 6 cases of water lol 😂.. love u mama . Thanks for your videos
When you say the 20 mark are you saying like turn it off and then on again at say 1:20, 2:20, etc… now do you know if and how to get more than 1 order at a time? Also, how do you do it off, do you sign out or swipe it off
It's not the same in all areas though. I get good offers at all different times, not just a certain time like 20 after the hr. It's best to just leave it on, really. Because acceptance rate means nothing, especially if all your other metrics are good. My AR is 2%, 97% on time, 98% completion, 4.9 stars, and I get great offers all the time still.
My son does spark as his second job, he use to do door dash and Uber eats, he likes spark and turns very little down, he prefers to shop in Walmart , he says he can get in and out rather than wait for them to bring it out. His acceptance rate is 100 %. He’s not that young, he’s 45 lol I’m 70. So maybe you just need more time to test it out? Love your channel 😊
Just a heads up try make your go pro super secret doing spark. I’ve seen spark videos where they have been completely banned because spark has a super strict recording policy. And the Walmart worker can ban you on the spot.
@@dmreddragon6I know. I’m just saying to be extra careful there’s a girl on RUclips who just started spark like meaty mama and was completely forever deactivated her first day for recording and she had her camera on the ground as well.
It’s gotta be hard to go from DD to shopping a full grocery order. I’ve done Shipt for 7 years and it’s very physical job. Now I’m very selective about what orders I accept. I don’t go large orders or heavy items. Also I won’t shop in certain zip codes. I try to stick with neighborhoods that tip consistently.
This is really helping me, I just want to give you one little bitty suggestion. Park in the clients driveway when possible, you don’t get any bonus points for walking twice as far with TV’s and apocalypse water!
I’m glad to see you have a foldable wagon. I’m considering trying this and I’ll def get a wagon! This was fun to watch…your videos are addictive and you’re so funny!,😆
Once you get used to shopping and using the app it’s the easiest shopping app I have. It gives you the isle, sec and mod and I can go right to the objects. If you slide down you get a map and it will show you the area your item is in. It’s helpful for those isles in odd spots.
Another thing with Spark. I had a "Shipping" order coming from Walmart and got a email saying it would not be here till Saturday, then later that day a lady in her personal car delivered my order. I asked her if she drives for Spark and she said yes...sooo sometimes Walmart has Spark drivers deliver "shipping" orders...with shipping there is no way to tip and it does not ask if you wanna tip, she said her daughter has had the same thing happen when she does a shipping order...it ends up getting delivered by a Spark driver instead, I do think Walmart compensates a little better with these since they are aware there is no tip attached. Thankfully I had a few dollars in cash that day and gave the lady some money.
You don't have to shop in the order it tells you. You can press the back arrow and choose what item to start with. Need to save cold stuff until last. This is very important on big orders as they will cancel if you don't deliver with a certain time after scanning the first cold item.
Once you know your stores, you can whip through there faster. You also don't have to go in the order of what's in the app. I don't take any offers lower that 20.00. Remember that you made an extra 5.00 on top of that base pay, so if you take anything low, keep that in mind. Smaller orders should not take 45 minutes to shop and get to your car. You get faster as you keep doing it. I was also going to say that I love shopping in the hot months because I can get into the air.
Love your honesty!! I can relate to the physical toll on the body, you did indeed work hard for the days pay. I have been thinking about doing this, but want to get opinions from those already doing it for some insight. Your video is great! I too live in the South, not as far as you and would have to deal with the heat as well, and I don't do well with humidity. Heat I can handle, humidity is a different animal altogether. New subscriber here and I look forward to the next one, along with watching your past ones. Stay cool out there! 🌟
Maybe it’s just an “adjustment period” for you, with Spark. Love that music you had on. Gotta say, I would want you to shop for me. You always make the effort to pick the best requested product for that customer.
I do Spark about an hour north of Tampa, and I pretty much stopped doing food delivery and only do spark. I preferred to do curbside pick up but will do an occasional shop if it’s worth it specially in this heat, better to be inside than out. lol I only do it part time though occasionally on the weekends.
I used to do Instacart in the Venice beach area south of Sarasota. It was mostly Publix and Aldi but the apartments without elevators in the terrible summer heat sometimes with cases of water and heavy items was just too much talk about exploitation by an app. Anyway, I’m back in my home state of Washington whereI know I’m doing spark as well so it’s great to get these tips from you guys
Ok 90% of the time when the notification says “first come first served or extra earnings are waiting” you can just ignore it. If it says 1 new offer id look at it
You are very pleasant and funny. I am a senior who is considering having one of those services shop for me and deliver the groceries. It surely would save wear and tear on my 75 year old body. But I am picky and afraid that they won't get good produce. If I could be guaranteed a caring person like you here in Colorado Springs, I could give it the green light. Maybe I should just trust that there are more good people in the world than not!
You can always return what you receive that are in bad condition. I do. And usually they will credit me back for the item. But then I either have to reorder it or go get it myself.😊
Instacart I believe is good for picking produce, as their tips reflect on how they do. I know when I order from local store, and the shopper does not do, both the shopping & delivery, I feel like many do not care so much. I wish our Target 🎯 had produce (they do 40 minutes away) because I have never had issues w pickups there-there are some bad apples 🍎, but Zi think you have a better chance w produce when they are shopping, as well.
I hate shopping at Walmart too!!! I certainly am not going to shop for someone else, when I don't shop for my self. I love the curbside pickup. I oder online go pick it up and I never have to go inside Walmart or try to find a parking spot. Love your channel and keep up the good work!!
Only the orders with a timer will affect your AR but don’t take crap orders . and yes, you can make good $ with spark but you have to learn the strategies. Turn your app at the 20 mark of each hour for curbside pickups. At the beginning of each hour for shop and deliver orders. If I’m on an order I will turn off spark now till the 20 mark of next hour
Doing Spark is great if you can get a doordash or ubereats in between all the waiting. Spark shopping used to pay well. I loved it! You can go in for 1 item it's a minimum payout of $19.95 or more. Now they want you to shop for 50 items for the same payout. It's not worth it unless you like the exercise.
You will find your groove doing walmart spark. Try to maybe doing the food delivery apps doing their peak times and do spark doing those none peak hours. I know in a lot of zones sunday mornings are good for doing spark. For me I do a lot of gig apps, so I find doing spark, shipt, roadie & catering works out really well. I do very little food delivery apps these days because those keep me really busy.
12:05 if you look at the map when it’s giving you the mileage, it’s giving you a direct line that naturally you cannot drive on. You have a lot more turns and red lights, and all that to take into consideration.
I really like your content and genuine personality. Good luck figuring out Spark. I do Lyft. When I tried Doordash there weren't any orders compared to how long I wait for a Lyft ride, but maybe I should give it another go. I find you very relaxing to listen to, and funny. Best wishes.
Yes acceptance rate doesn't matter I have been at 2% for a year and still get plenty of offers. Rejecting offers is wasted effort they keep coming back till someone takes them.
I have spark and still haven't tried it because I really don't like Walmart. I do UE and they actually send Walmart pickup orders. It usually takes for ever to get loaded up and you don't know exactly how much you're getting and pay isn't good so I don't accept Walmart orders anymore. You had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂. Thank you you're awesome 🎉
I only spark at my nearby neighborhood walmart market - food only! I like to shop the small store. Am very picky about the orders i accept - has to be low low mileage and no alcohol or bulky items. And i try to check if apartment and if it is an apt - i pray its ground floor!! But i dont depend on spark for income. Its just something for me to do.
Have you ever tried rolling your foot on anything round? I did physical therapy for fasciitis and that’s what they had me do at home. You can even put item in refrigerator. Cool and soothing. Helped me ❤
You're just not used to spark yet. Set a time to go out and be there for the round Robin. Once you do that and get an order it's just repeating. Once you're done with the order it will be time to go back to Walmart for the next round Robin. Don't take returns because they can't tip. Shopping orders I wouldn't take unless it's $20. The shopping offers start at $11 with no tip
Omg those people know they are supposed to put the labels on the orders!!! I have taken it as my mission to inform them if they don’t. There are a few who just put the labels on their steering wheel
Question for Spark drivers doing in store shopping. How does it work in places like NY & CA where plastic bags are banned? Do you have your own bags and then place all the items loose outside the customer's doors?
I used to reject offers on spark but I stopped because I discovered "rejected" means nothing. lol I'm glad you gave shopping a try. You will get faster at shopping. I was terrible on the time when I first started. I also don't shop in the order the app tells you to (especially if there are non food items or if there are perishables). I shop in my own way. Idk if that speeds it up or slows it down. lol I have not accepted a return yet. I've only had one offer for that and didn't take it.....I thought you had to go in. My biggest fear is not spiders or water or even earthquakes. It's not having a label to scan at the drop off. Nice. Now I know. Thanks for the video Mama! And I get it, shopping at wally world sucks. I'm proud of you for trying!
Just remember AR does not matter on Spark. If you don't like the order just don't take it. Wait for a good order where the customer is actually tipping good.
Just letting some of the Walmart plus customers know Walmart makes it very easy to return items through your delivery driver but once you get so many returns, Walmart will cancel your Walmart Plus Membership and you will not get a refund and since your membership is associated with your address and your credit card number you cannot make another Walmart Plus account, so if you think you're going to be returning something you better not do it on your Walmart Plus account....just giving everyone a heads up. It happened to me, and you can't even do curbside pickup either!!
How many returns are we talking about here? I live in a remote/rural area and rely heavily on my W+ membership while I’m saving to buy a new vehicle. When I have a problem item (damaged product or received wrong item) I call and ask for a refund which they always issue. They never offer to send a driver to pick up and return it to store. You’ve def peaked my curiosity 🤔
@@Stardust414 they were doing the same for me also. I don't know what the number is but you get so many negatives against your account, and whenever you get whatever Wal-Mart set number is you'll try to do a delivery one day and it will keep canceling after you place the order. I did finally get mine reinstated but took a lot of emails and phone calls with management. From what I understand it's all automatically computer generated if you get your account closed.
Like you have said in the past, it is great having an additional app to use in the down/slow times on the apps you prefer. I would say you have narrowed down your preference of orders to the curbside ones. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the incentives and if there are "good ones" try to fulfill the requirements for that extra money. It can add up surprisingly fast! Also, around holidays seem to be better times for more and better orders! The bottom line is to do WHATEVER works for you!💖 Best of luck to you my friend!😁
Wo! Plastic bags still down there in Florida?? None here in Rhode Island anymore: we bring our own or they have flimsy thin brown bags that hold no weight without busting ❤
I loved your videos. I did spark today for the first time. I didn’t get the labels!! it’s was crazy had to call all 3 orders in for $13.36 never again. Will I forget the labels. Will try it maybe again tomorrow. I Learned a few from your videos today. Thank you 😂😂😂😂
I do shops all the time and you will get faster. I finish shopping in almost half the time. It's knowing where everything is and letting them know as your going into the self check you have a spark so they can come immediatly. Our walmart gave spark drivers our own checkouts.
@angelbabe yeah, Spark has 2 checkouts designated, but there's still no difference because EVERYBODY still uses them like the sign isn't even there. (lol).
@girlygirl1890 dang, that would suck. Ours is specific and cashier attendant has to log them on and off so no one else can use them. People who do shop n go can use them as well, but I have not seen a shop and go person (not that I'm there at all hrs..lol)
@girlygirl1890 sounds like it! Our only down here is that the pickup is slow as heck sometimes. Took 50 min to get my order tonight. If it wasn't for being my last order and making my goal with the $25 payout I would have canceled after 30 min. That's the 2nd time that has happened. A few times it's went to 30 min. We are lacking shoppers for pickup in my area.
Omgeee I am just cracking up watching this because it’s like watching myself especially with my day yesterday and the incessant re-offerings from spark that you decline over and over again and then when you ignore them, your screen fills up with all these crappy orders😂😂😂 I think I might tune in and watch you a bit more. You’re pretty funny. From one gig mama to the next, I get it
Did you add your incentives into your daily total? They won’t add that in until the end of day or the end of the incentive run and you’ll get those normally on a Tuesday in your account.
I'm never around the Walmart at any certain time, I've found that they send me orders even when I'm sitting at home. I normally turn on all my gig apps (Doordash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub and Spark). I avoid large Walmart orders (not worth it).
Spark drivers are pretty good with my orders especially the Express orders that I do about once a week. They are pretty fast withthe Express . Except my neighbor has problems with Walmart van drivers, who have several times delivered her orders to my house.
Round robins drop at the same time every hour. Mine drop between the half hour and a quarter to hour chips are paid out 24 hours later almost similar to Uber where you have to wait an hour for your tip. spark is 24 hours. I rarely take a Sam’s Club because it’s never worth it and it appears the customers rarely tip. Just keep in mind if you get an alcohol order that is liquor, that tip will split in half after you complete. That is because the shopping order is given to somebody else to deliver and your tip gets shared with the person that delivers the groceries for some reason they split the liquor with the groceries and make it to orders and split the tip and they don’t tell you this so, if you ever see an order that just has liquor, split the tip in half and see if the delivery is still worth it.
Regarding curbside orders, Monday Walmart workers brought me a large 3 delivery order with no labels on 3 different totes, nor labels on loose bulk items One worker was leaving labels on totes while loading bags and loose items into the back of my SUV, many items that belonged with another order If I didn't check they would have had me load the wrong items into the wrong locations, and short customers part of their orders, while giving others some of their items Many items that should have been bagged were unbagged, chemicals and detergents were mixed with food, raw meat wasn't bagged in plastic, produce was bagged with meat, paper bags were ripped, paper bags were overloaded etc, which is quite common I'm usually busy double checking orders, and loading the mid, and front seats, so I often have to reorganize the rear of my vehicles to check for damage, bagging issues and possible damage during transport Sure enough there were 2 squished loaves of bread, one leaking bottle in a 35 pack of water, and 3 watermelons that would have been rolling around in the back if I didn't check during my last curbside pickup order Oddly enough they bagged shampoo in plastic bags, but not dripping raw meat and dripping rotisserie chickens Many new Spark drivers take off with no labels on any bags, nor loose bulk items of some customer orders Other times there's only one label on small orders, and that label is ripped, or won't scan after peeling it, and placing it on a bag, or loose bulk item
I’ve only been inside a Walmart a couple of times with someone else who was shopping. It was like shopping in a huge airplane hangar - not at all appealing. I much prefer Target. I’m thrilled for you that your channel is growing so fast!
Hello!! Oh my lord you are absolutely hilarious. I just started doing spark last week.And I have to say there are things about it that are just really dumb. Thank you for sharing your experience, I have definitely subscribed and given this video a thumbs up😊
😂You rock! I learn from U I cant deal with Spark walmart Period! Its too involved and time consuming Love your in store shopping You're funny I live in vegas I do Uber part time Be safe Stay cool Great content👍
the 36 minutes time to complete is without traffic and lights. its just starigt without stoping. they never add time for that, especially if theres constraction ging on. you always have to double the time that the app says.
Awesome I lived in St Pete for 4 years. And one of your other videos I heard Park boulevard I want hell yeah I used to live right off of Park boulevard write down from Seminole Mall. Is Seminole Mall still there? Across from Albertsons?
Love watching your videos. Hang in there. I was like you at first. But now Walmart is my main gig app. TODAY I GOT a monster order 3 drop off from Sam's club for $105.31. Done in one hour. They are giving you these orders to test you. I live aways from my Walmart and I turned it on and orders come in. You don't have to sit at the Walmart. Give it time. Set a goal. My goals for walmart is different from the uber eats (which is my filler app now).😅😊
Hi there 😊. I understand your complaints today but I think that if you had just turned on the other apps for 1-2 more hours, you would have had a greater day. What do you think about that? Half day spark half day dd and uber eats 🤔
I did a lot spark a yr then got deactivated but it went crap anyways the last few months on it!!! I don't miss spark it was so much tip bait and tons 30 packs water in 3rd floor apartments.I also got accused from Walmart manager of stealing and I had call cooperate about false accusation. The district manager called and confirmed I didn't steal but so much dang drama. I now do my other apps and rides and much happier.
That’s what I said in a comment in another video. If it says it will take an hour, plan for 2. Spark is not as great as everyone says it is but it does pay off with incentives and sometimes I just want to have a guaranteed earning for the time I’m out there so it may not be as much but it sure beats waiting around on doordash when it slow

😂
I love when she talks to us like we are naughty children, "See what I gotta go through when you go sliding around up there, * sigh *, behave." Or, tells us to "Hold still, you have something on your face. "😂😂😂
I love the shopping orders. They make it so easy.
In my opinion, there should be a weight limit on the types of things you are expected to deliver. Such as cases of water, 40-80 lbs. of dog food or TV's. That seems a little ridiculous!?!
I did insta cart for a while and 1 customer ordered 4 cases water , 3 different gallons of juices.and app said just leave in front of door ,$3 tip... she lived on 3rd floor of apt building with no elevator... crazy
I do Spark - almost 10 months now. I find it easier to shop non-food items then move to the food side to finish shop. I’m usually in and out in no time.

I agree. I stopped doing food delivery, I make way more $$$ doing spark on way less hours.
I JUST started Spark and I LOVE it I don't take shopping orders I look at the incentives and they are always worth it around here there's always orders to be had even the bad orders are worth it with the incentives. I haven't had to wait for too long for an order...yet. With DD and UE I I was making maybe $20 an hr with Spark it is $35 or more.
Lol, "I give up with English" 😂 you are just so natural at making people laugh!!!!❤
Stop showing the phone to us we can't see the screen
I couldn’t help but laugh when you were talking up trying the shopping order just to have no carts available when you walked in. You were trying so hard to be positive about it! 😂 I’m glad you found one quickly.
Only the orders with a timer will affect your AR but don’t take crap orders .
and yes, you can make good $ with spark but you have to learn the strategies. Turn your app at the 20 mark of each hour for curbside pickups. At the beginning of each hour for shop and deliver orders. If I’m on an order I will turn off spark now till the 20 mark of next hour . Take your time to check orders so you don’t get stuck with 6 cases of water lol 😂.. love u mama . Thanks for your videos
Very helpful😊

In my area they will send round Robin's at 35 min mark and the closer to the store the better
Theres like no incentives where i am its so frustrating
I think it's really cool that another viewer gave you a shout-out👍 You are going to need a Meaty Mama Fan Club page ❤❤❤
I’m really glad you have a little waggon that you can fold up those things are great👍🏻👏🏻💯
Why don't you talk more about debt
You’re nuts 😂 and I love it!

Just a heads up try make your go pro super secret doing spark. I’ve seen spark videos where they have been completely banned because spark has a super strict recording policy. And the Walmart worker can ban you on the spot.
I'm pretty sure that's why she put us on the floor on the passenger side, giving us nostril cam.
@@dmreddragon6I know. I’m just saying to be extra careful there’s a girl on RUclips who just started spark like meaty mama and was completely forever deactivated her first day for recording and she had her camera on the ground as well.
I have seen this on RUclips, as well.

You are amazing! You work so hard. I wish you all the best.
I've had to toggle the on/off button constantly to get the app to keep sending me offers. Wifi can be wonky.
Meaty Mama is the type of girl that goes the distance
Another thing with Spark. I had a "Shipping" order coming from Walmart and got a email saying it would not be here till Saturday, then later that day a lady in her personal car delivered my order. I asked her if she drives for Spark and she said yes...sooo sometimes Walmart has Spark drivers deliver "shipping" orders...with shipping there is no way to tip and it does not ask if you wanna tip, she said her daughter has had the same thing happen when she does a shipping order...it ends up getting delivered by a Spark driver instead, I do think Walmart compensates a little better with these since they are aware there is no tip attached.

Yes. Those are the large orders that have multiple stops with like 1 or 2 items per stop.
You don't have to shop in the order it tells you. You can press the back arrow and choose what item to start with. Need to save cold stuff until last. This is very important on big orders as they will cancel if you don't deliver with a certain time after scanning the first cold item.

Instacart I believe is good for picking produce, as their tips reflect on how they do. I know when I order from local store, and the shopper does not do, both the shopping & delivery, I feel like many do not care so much. I wish our Target 🎯 had produce (they do 40 minutes away) because I have never had issues w pickups there-there are some bad apples 🍎, but Zi think you have a better chance w produce when they are shopping, as well.
I hate shopping at Walmart too!!! I certainly am not going to shop for someone else, when I don't shop for my self. I love the curbside pickup. I oder online go pick it up and I never have to go inside Walmart or try to find a parking spot. Love your channel and keep up the good work!!
Can you put a link for your cold bags. I need new and those look nice.
Sam’s club has the insulated huge bags for $40
Only the orders with a timer will affect your AR but don’t take crap orders .
and yes, you can make good $ with spark but you have to learn the strategies. Turn your app at the 20 mark of each hour for curbside pickups. At the beginning of each hour for shop and deliver orders. If I’m on an order I will turn off spark now till the 20 mark of next hour
Doing Spark is great if you can get a doordash or ubereats in between all the waiting.
Spark shopping used to pay well. I loved it! You can go in for 1 item it's a minimum payout of $19.95 or more. Now they want you to shop for 50 items for the same payout. It's not worth it unless you like the exercise.
Less then that now! I've seen shops for only $11 plus tips
You will find your groove doing walmart spark. Try to maybe doing the food delivery apps doing their peak times and do spark doing those none peak hours. I know in a lot of zones sunday mornings are good for doing spark.
For me I do a lot of gig apps, so I find doing spark, shipt, roadie & catering works out really well. I do very little food delivery apps these days because those keep me really busy.
You got this don’t give up!
12:05 if you look at the map when it’s giving you the mileage, it’s giving you a direct line that naturally you cannot drive on. You have a lot more turns and red lights, and all that to take into consideration.
Where u got that cart?
I really like your content and genuine personality. Good luck figuring out Spark. I do Lyft. When I tried Doordash there weren't any orders compared to how long I wait for a Lyft ride, but maybe I should give it another go. I find you very relaxing to listen to, and funny. Best wishes.
First time first serve are always gonna be on your screen until someone takes them. Don’t worry about rejecting them
Lol. I never reject them. I just let them sit. Wasted effort! I also don't pay attention to acceptance ratings.
Yes acceptance rate doesn't matter I have been at 2% for a year and still get plenty of offers. Rejecting offers is wasted effort they keep coming back till someone takes them.
I have spark and still haven't tried it because I really don't like Walmart. I do UE and they actually send Walmart pickup orders. It usually takes for ever to get loaded up and you don't know exactly how much you're getting and pay isn't good so I don't accept Walmart orders anymore. You had me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂. Thank you you're awesome 🎉
it takes forever because walmart spark drivers get prioirty
@@davidukponmwan7370 yeah I figured as much which I understand. Lol
I agree about Spark! You made so much money with the food deliveries. You worked so hard today!! Enjoy your channel.
I only spark at my nearby neighborhood walmart market - food only! I like to shop the small store. Am very picky about the orders i accept - has to be low low mileage and no alcohol or bulky items. And i try to check if apartment and if it is an apt - i pray its ground floor!! But i dont depend on spark for income. Its just something for me to do.
Have you ever tried rolling your foot on anything round? I did physical therapy for fasciitis and that’s what they had me do at home. You can even put item in refrigerator. Cool and soothing. Helped me ❤
Yes, I've tried it. Didn't notice much of a difference, though.
You're just not used to spark yet. Set a time to go out and be there for the round Robin. Once you do that and get an order it's just repeating. Once you're done with the order it will be time to go back to Walmart for the next round Robin. Don't take returns because they can't tip. Shopping orders I wouldn't take unless it's $20. The shopping offers start at $11 with no tip
Omg those people know they are supposed to put the labels on the orders!!! I have taken it as my mission to inform them if they don’t. There are a few who just put the labels on their steering wheel
Question for Spark drivers doing in store shopping. How does it work in places like NY & CA where plastic bags are banned? Do you have your own bags and then place all the items loose outside the customer's doors?
I used to reject offers on spark but I stopped because I discovered "rejected" means nothing. lol
I'm glad you gave shopping a try.
You will get faster at shopping. I was terrible on the time when I first started. I also don't shop in the order the app tells you to (especially if there are non food items or if there are perishables). I shop in my own way. Idk if that speeds it up or slows it down. lol
I have not accepted a return yet. I've only had one offer for that and didn't take it.....I thought you had to go in.
My biggest fear is not spiders or water or even earthquakes. It's not having a label to scan at the drop off. Nice. Now I know.
Thanks for the video Mama! And I get it, shopping at wally world sucks. I'm proud of you for trying!
Just remember AR does not matter on Spark. If you don't like the order just don't take it. Wait for a good order where the customer is actually tipping good.
Another great video thank you for being so honest and thank you for making the video
i like your humor
Wow, Spark seems so tedious! Love the music today! 💜
It terrible so glad I was deactivated from the dumb app.
@@AnnaWitte-f8fwhy did you get deactivated? What was the reason they gave you?
Just letting some of the Walmart plus customers know Walmart makes it very easy to return items through your delivery driver but once you get so many returns, Walmart will cancel your Walmart Plus Membership and you will not get a refund and since your membership is associated with your address and your credit card number you cannot make another Walmart Plus account, so if you think you're going to be returning something you better not do it on your Walmart Plus account....just giving everyone a heads up. It happened to me, and you can't even do curbside pickup either!!
How many returns are we talking about here? I live in a remote/rural area and rely heavily on my W+ membership while I’m saving to buy a new vehicle. When I have a problem item (damaged product or received wrong item) I call and ask for a refund which they always issue. They never offer to send a driver to pick up and return it to store. You’ve def peaked my curiosity 🤔
@@Stardust414 they were doing the same for me also. I don't know what the number is but you get so many negatives against your account, and whenever you get whatever Wal-Mart set number is you'll try to do a delivery one day and it will keep canceling after you place the order. I did finally get mine reinstated but took a lot of emails and phone calls with management. From what I understand it's all automatically computer generated if you get your account closed.
Like you have said in the past, it is great having an additional app to use in the down/slow times on the apps you prefer. I would say you have narrowed down your preference of orders to the curbside ones. My suggestion would be to keep an eye on the incentives and if there are "good ones" try to fulfill the requirements for that extra money. It can add up surprisingly fast! Also, around holidays seem to be better times for more and better orders! The bottom line is to do WHATEVER works for you!💖 Best of luck to you my friend!😁
Wo! Plastic bags still down there in Florida?? None here in Rhode Island anymore: we bring our own or they have flimsy thin brown bags that hold no weight without busting ❤
Believe it or not plastic is not as bad as they say look it up.
I loved your videos. I did spark today for the first time. I didn’t get the labels!! it’s was crazy had to call all 3 orders in for $13.36 never again. Will I forget the labels. Will try it maybe again tomorrow. I Learned a few from your videos today. Thank you 😂😂😂😂
I do shops all the time and you will get faster. I finish shopping in almost half the time. It's knowing where everything is and letting them know as your going into the self check you have a spark so they can come immediatly. Our walmart gave spark drivers our own checkouts.
@angelbabe yeah, Spark has 2 checkouts designated, but there's still no difference because EVERYBODY still uses them like the sign isn't even there. (lol).
@girlygirl1890 dang, that would suck. Ours is specific and cashier attendant has to log them on and off so no one else can use them. People who do shop n go can use them as well, but I have not seen a shop and go person (not that I'm there at all hrs..lol)
@@angelbabe1977 That's great. You guys are lucky.🙂🙂😃😃
@girlygirl1890 sounds like it! Our only down here is that the pickup is slow as heck sometimes. Took 50 min to get my order tonight. If it wasn't for being my last order and making my goal with the $25 payout I would have canceled after 30 min. That's the 2nd time that has happened. A few times it's went to 30 min. We are lacking shoppers for pickup in my area.
Wagon comes in handy
Omgeee I am just cracking up watching this because it’s like watching myself especially with my day yesterday and the incessant re-offerings from spark that you decline over and over again and then when you ignore them, your screen fills up with all these crappy orders😂😂😂 I think I might tune in and watch you a bit more. You’re pretty funny.
From one gig mama to the next, I get it
I am glad i'm not the only person who searchs for coffee filters. Never understood why they are not by the coffee either.
Shopping- the sections are labeled on the upper left on shelf even in the freezers
Fan club page? Brilliant idea!
You should definitely multi app and just take the round robin orders to start and only if your in the area.
Did you add your incentives into your daily total? They won’t add that in until the end of day or the end of the incentive run and you’ll get those normally on a Tuesday in your account.
Wow, you are so funny. Love how honest you are with everything you do. Go Meaty Mama...❤
I'm never around the Walmart at any certain time, I've found that they send me orders even when I'm sitting at home. I normally turn on all my gig apps (Doordash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub and Spark). I avoid large Walmart orders (not worth it).
Are you not allowed to pull in driveways, especially when you have large items?
I do 😂I don’t care what they say . Specially if the front door is way to far from the street lol 😂
@@veronicasillie4388 I would too
Yay a new video!! ❤
Spark drivers are pretty good with my orders especially the Express orders that I do about once a week. They are pretty fast withthe Express . Except my neighbor has problems with Walmart van drivers, who have several times delivered her orders to my house.
You just need one label per order.
I invested in a foldable dolly that goes up stairs as well as a couple clear totes.
Round robins drop at the same time every hour. Mine drop between the half hour and a quarter to hour chips are paid out 24 hours later almost similar to Uber where you have to wait an hour for your tip. spark is 24 hours. I rarely take a Sam’s Club because it’s never worth it and it appears the customers rarely tip. Just keep in mind if you get an alcohol order that is liquor, that tip will split in half after you complete. That is because the shopping order is given to somebody else to deliver and your tip gets shared with the person that delivers the groceries for some reason they split the liquor with the groceries and make it to orders and split the tip and they don’t tell you this so, if you ever see an order that just has liquor, split the tip in half and see if the delivery is still worth it.
Thanks 😊
Regarding curbside orders, Monday Walmart workers brought me a large 3 delivery order with no labels on 3 different totes, nor labels on loose bulk items
One worker was leaving labels on totes while loading bags and loose items into the back of my SUV, many items that belonged with another order
If I didn't check they would have had me load the wrong items into the wrong locations, and short customers part of their orders, while giving others some of their items
Many items that should have been bagged were unbagged, chemicals and detergents were mixed with food, raw meat wasn't bagged in plastic, produce was bagged with meat, paper bags were ripped, paper bags were overloaded etc, which is quite common
I'm usually busy double checking orders, and loading the mid, and front seats, so I often have to reorganize the rear of my vehicles to check for damage, bagging issues and possible damage during transport
Sure enough there were 2 squished loaves of bread, one leaking bottle in a 35 pack of water, and 3 watermelons that would have been rolling around in the back if I didn't check during my last curbside pickup order
Oddly enough they bagged shampoo in plastic bags, but not dripping raw meat and dripping rotisserie chickens
Many new Spark drivers take off with no labels on any bags, nor loose bulk items of some customer orders
Other times there's only one label on small orders, and that label is ripped, or won't scan after peeling it, and placing it on a bag, or loose bulk item
I’ve only been inside a Walmart a couple of times with someone else who was shopping. It was like shopping in a huge airplane hangar - not at all appealing. I much prefer Target. I’m thrilled for you that your channel is growing so fast!
Love your videos!!
Hello!! Oh my lord you are absolutely hilarious. I just started doing spark last week.And I have to say there are things about it that are just really dumb. Thank you for sharing your experience, I have definitely subscribed and given this video a thumbs up😊
😂You rock! I learn from U I cant deal with Spark walmart Period! Its too involved and time consuming Love your in store shopping You're funny I live in vegas I do Uber part time Be safe Stay cool Great content👍
the 36 minutes time to complete is without traffic and lights. its just starigt without stoping. they never add time for that, especially if theres constraction ging on. you always have to double the time that the app says.
I always help pack my car
Awesome I lived in St Pete for 4 years. And one of your other videos I heard Park boulevard I want hell yeah I used to live right off of Park boulevard write down from Seminole Mall. Is Seminole Mall still there? Across from Albertsons?
Love watching your videos. Hang in there. I was like you at first. But now Walmart is my main gig app. TODAY I GOT a monster order 3 drop off from Sam's club for $105.31. Done in one hour. They are giving you these orders to test you. I live aways from my Walmart and I turned it on and orders come in. You don't have to sit at the Walmart. Give it time. Set a goal. My goals for walmart is different from the uber eats (which is my filler app now).😅😊
Hi there 😊. I understand your complaints today but I think that if you had just turned on the other apps for 1-2 more hours, you would have had a greater day.
What do you think about that? Half day spark half day dd and uber eats 🤔
1:34 they have no pause just sign out
I did a lot spark a yr then got deactivated but it went crap anyways the last few months on it!!! I don't miss spark it was so much tip bait and tons 30 packs water in 3rd floor apartments.I also got accused from Walmart manager of stealing and I had call cooperate about false accusation. The district manager called and confirmed I didn't steal but so much dang drama. I now do my other apps and rides and much happier.
Love watching your content. Peter and Mom in the villages, Florida❤
You don't have to be nearby the Walmart to get offers. I constantly get offers from every store in my zone regardless of my current location.
😊
A collapsible, foldable trolley or wagon may be worthwhile.
Never mind, I just saw the end lol!
That’s what I said in a comment in another video. If it says it will take an hour, plan for 2. Spark is not as great as everyone says it is but it does pay off with incentives and sometimes I just want to have a guaranteed earning for the time I’m out there so it may not be as much but it sure beats waiting around on doordash when it slow
I just signed up today luckily i only live 2 miles from walmart in a town of 15000
You had me laughing at the end.
Turn on the defrost with the air on and it should help the go pro to not over heat
First few shops you get audit
I haven't pulled the trigger on Spark yet. Here in Washington state, we have no plastic bags to use.
So what does the grocery go in?? Lol
@@philbenson6041 you bring your own bags.
The heat index where MM lives is probably close to 100 degrees. God bless!
Great video. 🤗🇨🇦
Where did you get the trolley? Model number?
