This is why the apps don't care about our personal opinions. You haven't worked in several days due to back issues. They have to keep going daily regardless of your or anyone else's health issues.
Regarding requesting specific shoppers, some of my regular customers that I've shopped for many times have asked me if there was a way for them to request me specifically as they're so unhappy with the shopping, bagging, and delivery performance of other Spark shoppers Some customers don't like that many Spark drivers are smokers, or they're sketched out by their appearance, the way they dress, the vehicle they drive, offensive bumper stickers, their passengers etc Looking at some of the sketchy Spark drivers, Spark drivers that smoke on deliveries, passengers that smoke on deliveries, and the sketchy vehicles many drive I wouldn't want them anywhere near my properties, nor handling my groceries I've shopped for many customers dozens of times, so I've wondered if the algorithm favors me when I'm available as these customers always give me good reviews, and thank me in the chat
So I shop for some other Spark drivers that make sure that I'm available, and that I'm the only one in a specific section of the store where we consistently receive offers first as they're so fussy about who shops for them Some other Spark veterans will reject the offer if they receive it first
For the Walmart zone I live in hardly anyone tips are ,it goes for doordash ,insta cart ect. They may tip $2,$4 little higher once a awhile or 10 percent. It very frustrating someone wanted 89 item shop order no tip. I can move farther to another zone where people generally tip better.
Bro how does wait pay work when do use it? Long a dumb azz I waited 75 minutes yesterday at end of the day. Been getting up starting at first drop 6:30am. Thanks for the motivation. Not sure if you remember my name on YT. We moved from Tennessee after a house fire took everything it’s been a grind rebuilding. This early shift is gonna give me the ability to get back into liquidation like I want. Take care Bro Wesley
@@firststatedelivery No, we moved to Oklahoma City following the fire. stayed for several months in California. worked hard at spark till we could afford to relocate. In the past I would cancel trip after waiting 10 minutes.
Has the chart at the bottom of the app been removed on your app, the chart that shows when its potentially going to be busy? It was removed from my app a few days ago and was curious if ots happening to everyone and if its affecting you also? Thank you! 😊

Focus on number 1. (Yourself) You got no control over the apps. They don't care what you think. They are only concerned with getting orders our and being profitable. We all need to do our parts. Stop crying over scammers. Focus on making your money while you can make it. Ignore everything else.
I had a support rep tell me that it's a factor in the algorithm. It definitely used to be. Once upon a time, I cared about my AR on Spark, I don't anymore. Yesterday, I took a $75 shop and my AR is sitting pretty at 12%.
The same message applies to everyone else. Each person needs to focus on earning what they can while their body and vehicle let's them.
Which is why you or anyone else simply needs to focus on earning what you can. Focus on yourself and not worry about what the scammers are doing.

Agree. We're contractors. Zero protections.

If you're going to continue, you have to go where the money is.
Yes I agree even better zones still many low to no tip orders. Yet I hit better ones more often. Even 87$ insta cart few days ago.

Yeah, of course I remember you Wes! Are you still in TN? I left AL a few years ago.

@@binflippinggoods2138 I cancel after 30 minutes bc I don't want to get hit with the dropped trip.
If your hurt or vehicle breaks. The apps will keep going because there are many other drivers. (Legal or not.) The only one losing is you.
Very true!

Yeah, I can't seem to find it. They're either having issues with it in the app redesign or did away with it completely.

Scammers have been virtually eliminated now. I'm back to earning $1k+ per week. We'll see if it lasts.
Do you think that your acceptance rate matters?

I have heard you speak for the first 3 minutes, and all I heard is you attempting to justify avoiding real work.
Yeah I work like 14-15 hours a day. Come talk to me when you can do that 7 days a week. Thanks for watching!
