Omg you obviously must work for Spark and-or Walmart. Otherwise you would be considering the drivers’ TIME AND MONEY.
Car repairs, tires, taxes(!) gas and let’s not forget that odometer reading which makes your car less valuable!
Hi Linda, I don’t work for Walmart. I mainly do these apps to help others understand what to expect. Profit wise I could’ve driven food delivery on this day but it’s my job to try and vet these apps. Hope that helps
I just started with Walmart spark i really like it so far pay is pretty decent 👌 I have 4 Walmart in my area not too far away from me one is like 5 minutes the second 10 and third 15 min and so on lol only down side we get paid weekly and not daily like amazon flex
No drivers don't have to load but I do help, to be cool with the Walmart guys. Because if you go there enough they will know your car. And if they don't like person they can make you wait. And also I help to out of there quicker.
And why not get out stretch the legs and interact with some cool people. All the associates I talked to were so nice!
Good man! Love you for that my King 👑!
I always help too but some locations don't help you load. They literally pull the cart out and say have a good one and leave it by your car.
Here’s an even BETTER hack. You actually don’t need to scan the labels at all. Just swipe to proceed 2 or 3 times and it will allow you to override it w/o penalty.
Yes I do it all the time
Yeah; tapping scan and scanning the label is soooooo hard.....
To hell with doing it the way the app wants you to!
It takes more times swiping 3 times vs just scanning the item once lol.
@@StudioDaVeed what happens when they forget to put a sticker on the item and you don’t have it?
@@Robertson-gz2jt
Never happened to me but I believe there is a work around...
I love the ride with you tutorials. Helps answer the questions. Please. Keep them coming.
Thanks Vickie, this was my first shift using the new GoPro Hero 10. I noticed some odd audio shifting and stabilization things but I’m glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the feedback since I know a lot of people wanted to see these shifts ‘live’
Thanks for this vlog. Happy fourth weekend.
Great video, Mike! Keep em coming. Apparently, I'm approved with Spark, but I'm on a waiting list. I have a Supercenter, A Market, and a Sam's Club all within 2 miles of where I live so this could potentially be a good gig for me. Will just keep learning as much as I can watching your videos while waiting to be activated.
Lol so amusing seeing this video, looking at this and seeing the store number being the store I worked at, though I'm pretty sure I talked to you that day, at least about the orders being in different bins bit. Was just looking for a video to show a friend about Spark and here this was.
Thanks for the content Mike keep it up my guy 👍👊🙏
Thanks L A I appreciate you
Thanks for the ride along content, its awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Good video, Mike. I get out for curb side orders. I often condense bags (eliminating the one or two items per bag). This can save the number of trips to the drop off point. Also, I'm sure customers don't want 15 bags for 20 items.
At walmart the order gets split between different runs. Each runs have specific items. When picking the associate have 8 totes and each item goes in a very specific one. If you go inside walmart you can notice the pickers having 8 labels for 8 different orders. The associate have to scan each item then scan the correct label, so there should be no error. This is done to improve efficiency, as the store is divided into sections. Also items get bagged while picked, so even if they go in the same tote, the bagging might not be optimised.
Love the drive along videos Mike!!! Spark has been amazing for me, especially the flexibility of being able to change my market. I switched from West Pittsburgh to Tarentum and averaged $40 an hour yesterday for 10 hours straight!!
Wow that’s awesome, I have to get to that level haha. Thanks for watching Odeca
Thats awesome Odeca! Roughly how far do you have to drive for each order in that area? Do you ever have to go all the way to pittsburgh from Tarentum?
@@chrdphnx when you select a certain zone and you get a certain pickup for a Walmart in that zone , most of the locations will not even exceed 10+ miles ! That's just my experience
How many of those were shop and deliver orders?
Those shop and deliver orders are pretty awesome. For me it's typically, a dozen or so items, 20+ payout and under 5 miles.
Yeah, those are my favorite and I wish there were more of them. Last I did was $20 for 2 gallons of milk 1.5 miles from the store
My first ever order was a shopping order and the person ordered just one toilet paper holder that cost $2.00. I got paid $28 for shopping and dropping it off. Took me 15 to shop and drop off
Lol that's hilarious. My first order was for a jug of Arizona iced tea and was a 10 minute ride. They paid $17 without tip so I'm curious how it's a sustainable business model. Kinda weird
@@benfrink376 Walmart needs to share that pot of gold. They can’t hog all the money
What they need to do is allow the Spark app to scan a customer's ID instead of entering the info manually. This is for alcohol orders.
Being new and about to start with Spark, when you get an alcohol order for pick up and drip off (like door dash) do we ask for ID? Im assuming that customer when order was placed Walmart makes sure of the identification
@@TheItskimpossible I drive for doordash also and just started sparks. You will have to ask for ID bc info has to be entered and the customer has to skgn
I enjoyed the video Mike! I just signed up. Waiting for completion of background check.
This is the exact same process of Point Pick Up, we do Walmart delivery through PPU here in California. We scan labels at pick up and at delivery. And we don’t help the Walmart associates to load. Most grocery orders are 2 stacked here also. Pay is about $17 dlls but we are tipped snd add payment adjustment through Proposition 22. One delivery becomes $40 dll trip avg. with all these add ons 👍
The only thing I don’t like is that if you get to the store after accepting an order and the order gets canceled you only get $2.50… I drove all the way across town for 2.50 🤣🤣
Iv done the sticker to the chest thing with Roadie delivering for Wal-Mart. Good stuff
Its funny cause this was my first day doing to it. The timing of you releasing this video is perfect. But the way im feeling about curbside pickup? I don’t think ill ever shop for someone on instacart again, nothing big anyway
Contact Driver Support and ask them "What is the HIGHEST VOLUMES stores in your zone?" #1? #2? #3? ect.....
You can skip the scanning if need be. Just slide the button like you scanned it and it will say label not scanned do you want to proceed? And you just click yes and your good to go.
I am not a driver yet, but I have an idea that may work for some of you guys. If you have a spare unused cellphone you can use it to snap a picture of the label and when it's time to rescan the label just pull out the spare phone with the picture of the label and scan it with your phone. Again I am not a driver but I work in retail and I get customers with discount barcode on their phones which I scan with a scanner . Use this hack only if you are unable to get that label from the Walmart associates. Hope this helps. Good luck!
I just started spark last week. I have a store that's about 10-15 minutes from home, so I can start from home. I always help the associates load, because it helps speed up the process and put stuff where it should be.
I stick with one store unless the delivery takes you near another store. I have one Sam's Club and one Walmart on my side of town. I tried the other store on the other side of town and the pay was worse for the amount of stuff to deliver.
I put the label on a large item on the order, but if you follow the prompts you will scan the label again before putting the items at the customers door.
You do need to scan when you pick up and when you drop off.
Sometimes the GPS can't keep up with you, lag. So when the app doesn't think you are at the location, just click through and continue.
As far as signatures go, occasionally I get one that requires the customer to sign. I am thinking that there could be some drop off error history, like they didn't get the order.
On the labels, I stick the order in the trunk's sticker on the inside of the trunk lid so as soon as you open the trunk, it is starring at you. The backseat order I stick the sticker on the back of the seat by the headrest. Both locations are highly visible.
Looks like you are getting the hang of it. Remember that if you wait 15 minutes and the order is still not ready or loaded, you can unassign due to long wait time and you will receive 1/2 pay. At least that has been my experience. Now technically there are some factors that are calculated in after you have waited 30 minutes. You will be paid X amount for each minute you wait until you get the order. This is considered extra effort compensation pay.
Lol. I stick the label on my dash. I’ve also had the location error too. Luckily after two times saying you’re there it lets you bypass.
I got an email yesterday that said that I was accepted as a Spark driver. So I went to my local Walmart and it was nice and easy. Within thirty seconds, I had a two-stack order pop in for $20 and I took it, just like you did. Everything went very smoothly except that when it prompts you to scan the code, it never did for me so I had to enter it in manually. Not really an issue as you only need to enter in one code per customer, but I do think I had to be doing it wrong somehow.
I think I may end up doing this a lot as Walmart is constantly busy with people in their pick-up stalls. Just as well, in my city, all of the restaurants and the Walmart are all on one side of town, so if I'm DoorDashing, I have to go back and forth anyway. We'll see how it goes, but for the one time I did it, I liked it quite a bit, especially the dollar to mile ratio
I also like you just got accepted (approval) to deliver. I also do door dash as well. Good post!!! Thanks for the post.
I only scan when picking up items at store. I have did over 500 delivers and never scan one time when at the customers address.. it prompts me to but u can skip that with no issue what so ever!
Spark lasted about 2 weeks of good pay for me before it made a major drop off. My acceptance rate went to a 93% after passing up a couple offers and then I started to get no offers at all or just 1 or 2 a day keeping the app on all day. And its not like there weren't any offers in my area I saw the same two drivers taking order after order while I sat in the parking lot. No it was not a glitch with the app, I believe it would send all offers to them first because they were new drivers and had higher acceptance rates. Its complete bs that you can go from 10 plus offers a day to one or two when you have perfectly good 100%metrics in every area accept acceptance rate. My final straw with spark was when it sent me an offer and then I drive 15min to the store and find out its been canceled. And because it only sends one or two offers a day it's basically pointless to just sit there and wait for another order to come in because you will just waste your time. Not to mention the first week you get countless incentives and then they take them away after that and lessen the pay. I went from getting a (7 stop packages order) for 20 miles for $50 the first day to getting (10 stop packages order) 30 miles for $38. I just gave up after a month of low offers. This app is no longer worth my time and I stick to Doordash only because it is actually consistent with orders.
I can relate, I earned almost $400 the first weekend I was doing Uber eats the last time I did it I earned about $75. This industry is Laden with all kinds of ways everyone can get ripped off
When I spark, I do it for 30 mins at a time. If I don't get an offer right away, I will usually get an offer 5 -10 mins before my spark shift ends, and if I don't get an offer, I will extend my spark time another 30mins. I usually get an offer every hour doing this and sometimes several first come first serve offers as well.
Pleasant good evening nice video but I have a question how do you track your miles 🤔
From the moment I go online until offline those are business miles as I’m intending to do business. Once I finished my last delivery I do not count the miles back home unless I’m online with an app. I track miles manually in my phone but you can use tracking apps like MileIQ, Stride and more.
In my area I never had to scan any labels or get any signatures yet
Most of the two batch orders are close. A lot are a mile or less which is nice.
I had that happen where it said not at the delivery address. Tried it 5 times and it didn't work. Called customer support, he had me do it 2 more times and it worked. Lol
Thank you!! I was just approved and have access to the app. What percent of your earnings do you set aside for taxes, gas and wear and tear on your car?
They say 10-20%
Yes the associates need to give you a label for your car for every order that you receive for every customer
Hey Mike, I’m here driving in West Pittsburgh which contains 3 Walmarts and 2 Sams clubs. The orders you seem to be doing is only delivery or .com orders. You will eventually receive a 10 stop order if you do it long enough and you will want to pack those orders on your own.There will be orders that don’t require scan and only delivery. Drop a vid when you do a shop and deliver. Those seem to lay the most
You can skip scanning those labels if needed. Just be sure you have the correct order.
I do the same.
Great video! But Spark has been doing some odd things the last two weeks. It's been extremely slow in my zone for some odd reason and my customer rating has been dropping for no reason my overall metrics has not been updating. Looks like going back to multiple apps again. Major issues with the spark app in my zone.
Where's your zone if you don't mind me asking?
pay has dropped too. shop and delivers went from $20 to 19.50.
Hi Mike I just got approved this week to do Spark. Here is what I think. At my home there is 2 Walmarts that is close to home but the app does not have those walmarts as pickup. The closest is pretty dam far away. The furtherst is about 30 minutes away. When I get there the customers are the cheapest and they never tip. I had orders of 22 1 gallon of waters. Another with 3 freaking cases of water and other stuff. No freaking tip. I got an order from the closest that they have on the app, 5 stacks of water to a hotel and they don't freaking mention on the app a hotel. It said leave it at the door and that is what I did and no tip. I worked 4 orders all with stacked orders. What I think? Many Walmart customers just like doordash that handles walmart customers don't freaking tip. So today I made $62 no tips. The base pay is not bad if they tip even better. Over all driven 130 miles back and forth. The pickups to the customers homes are not that bad but going back is dam far and driving back home is worst. This app I will do if things are slow. I will not proritize doing this. I rather dash instead.
That small pick up window sets drivers up for failure. When Walmart is short staffed you're gonna have to wait. I used to multi app during long waits.
Yes I feel like my on time arrival metric would always be awful then since I’m farther away. Again might just drive there first since I have to pick up there anyway
I'm on the waiting list
some people have had missing orders so signature read on some orders when u can’t get one yeah put line through it.
Hey I got a question, I'm a spark driver in San Diego. What if you get a bath order one item is missing? The store will tell you to cancel what do you do?
How are you I was wondering how do you do the calculations for the day/week/month please?
Mike if you do spark your gonna need ba fold up wagon for transport in enclosed building 🏢
I applied 2 weeks ago last week I was told I was on the wait list and today was told I can start sparking today! The wallys is like 5 miles from me!!
Please
How I can apply for work delivery with Walmart??? I live in San Jose CA
@@alialtameemi6844 I seen the job ad on indeed and applied there
how’s it going so far? like it?
@@dstewart207 it started out AMAZING! They had great promotions but they slowly wean you off them. When I applied I only applied for the wal mart 5 miles from my house. My acceptance rate was about 70% about 1 week ago they added me to the region and added 5 Walmart’s the closest one being 23 miles from my house I never accepted one order from the other Walmart’s and my acceptance rate plummeted to 14% in one week lol. But I’m not driving 23 miles to make to take a 18.00 order for 3 miles. That is about 51 miles for 18.00 they don’t total your miles they only show how much from that wal mart. I think imma be deactivated for the acceptance rate soon. But that’s ok it was great in the beginning but they slowly rake you over the coals. And if a order is canceled and you drive to the store they only pay 2.50 regardless of the order! If they paid for miles for driving to the store it would be good. And the loaders to the car don’t care they load the car wrong and if something is smashed the driver takes the heat.
Mike I used to get a lot of deliveries from doordash for Walmart is that over?
What are the insurance requirements, I currently have personal auto.
When I get route information, the map shown is empty. It doesn't show the lines and pin for pickup and drop off before accepting the route when looking over the information.
Those labels pull off the boxes easy then stick onto bags
Good Job Mike! Do you have to deal with water packages? It may hurt your back a lot.
I did one today. My first order at 7:46 this morning. 8 cases of water, 2 cases of coke and a bunch of bread and cheese. Going upstairs smh. They gave me a $20 tip after the fact when they saw me outta breath lol
Actually yes haha I had two of those huge packs
Unfortunately if you deliver with any app for Walmart you're going to get lots of water.. Just get you a small cart I have one that folds up very small so I can put up to three cases of water on it and roll it to the customer's door. I don't accept apartments at all so I never get stuck carrying water to the third floor.
@@sparksstartsfires_ does the app tell you if its apartments? I want to start driving for spark. Thanks
They don't you enough times for the deliveries most of the times. Long wait to pick up 😅orders
Please
How I can apply for work delivery with Walmart???
Or another delivery job in San Jose California.. right now just starting working with door dash is not really busy with me
How do they check names for the order? When picking it up?
I was told by a Walmart employee that I didn't have to scan the labels, I just swipe through it.
For Spark , it's critical you filter out stores with bad Management/new employees ( certain shifts, morning crews seem better performing ). Veteran Spark drivers know to avoid these stores & or shifts. Also, the app, itself, has issues. Here in the South East suburb Houston market, when the customer cancels, the driver is not notified for 15-30 minutes. Literally, drivers are waiting 25 minutes for a ghost order. Solution: I call driver support after waiting 10-15 minutes & ask to verify the order is still valid. I don't mind heavy , multipacks of bottled water. However, unathletic Associates avoid these orders and you just wait & wait. So I stopped accepting orders that include multi bottled water packs. Associates will occasionally spread a big order in the trunk & rear seat. They forget to tell you. Unfortunately, SNAP/food stamp customers are not able to tip, keep that in mind if you see a x-large order to certain neighborhoods. Just bring Truthful.
Yes avoiding bad staff is big.
I agree. Even with Uber Eats and Walmart orders for Snap customers. The tips are small. I, however, when I received Snap, I tipped $10 or more. I use to be a server and know what it is like to live off tips alone. So, it may be the case for some but not all. I moved, so I know my regular delivery drivers are upset after 4 years with me. LOL. I work off tips alone now as I build the business. It's our income because I am a full-time driver.
Veterans lol how old is the spark app ??
I’m new to the spark thing but it says suggested, suggested arrival time. I have arrived exactly what I was supposed to end on the last one had to wait a damn hour
Does spark have instant pay or do you get paid weekly?
Officially starting tomorrow, so wish me luck :)
Also, why is it that some Walmarts don't show up on the GPS on the app? I live 10 minutes from a Walmart Supercenter, but the closest Walmart I can find on my map is 28 minutes away. Does the Walmart near my house simply not support Spark Delivery?
Most likely because I have 2 walmarts that's near my house but my city is not on the program so I deliver to the next city that's close to me but they representative stated that more cities are being added over time
how’s it going? like it?
@@dstewart207 yeah. Made $800 a few weeks ago. Some guys can bring in $1200+ with this job, so there's still a lot to learn on my end.
I’m not sure what to put on the IRS w9 area to finish application. Please help. I’m married but I’ll be the one working for spark. So I put the single/sole one? Or other?
I ask the people at curbside for an extra sticker as well, and stick it to the inside of my door. Great minds think alike.
People are always talking about tip baiters, but so far I’ve done 4 orders all with tips and every single one has gone through as what it said at first ☺️ $5, $7, $10, and $15! And only the $15 one was for shopping a big order and delivering, the rest were just for curbside pickup and drop off.
What type of car is best for Walmart spark ?
If you want to skip the wait at the store put your phone on airplane mode and check in !After you choose your parking spot then turn off airplane mode and click the last button .
How are you able to not accept apartments does the app tell you if it's an apartment?
I drive to merchant area and wait for orders
I always reject uber eats orders from walmart sounds like a mission for the usual 8-12 dollars is there spark in Los Angeles?
I signed up for this in NY and was put on a waitlist for some reason and still haven't heard anything back yet. According to sparks website, they are in my area. Any suggestions? Thank you. It's been about 2 months now.
Call and ask or Just say, You are notifying them you are available and intrested in starting.
How do you keep up with your mileage? Does the spark app do that for you?
I have a logbook I fill out every day. If the IRS ever audits you, it's smart to have a written and concise logbook to show them. Date, Driver app your working for, odometer mileage at the start and ending of a shift, earnings for the shift... Etc
Gridwise is an app that'll keep track of the miles. But you don't want to solely rely on that with the IRS
@@curtp6718 Thank you !!
Singed up for Spark in Ohio in early January, approved but still on the wait list. 😟
do you think a person can do $2000 monthly doing delivery ??
That's just an estimate. I have had deliveries not ready until after pick up time
Very true, I like how the app tells you an estimated wait time very helpful
I tried signing up but I dont see california?
how do you get paid
I’m a new spark driver as well in Kansas City we definitely need a spark discord chat
Just added to the discord! Check it out
Hello everyone! I also started doing Spark a few days ago however I read that we need commercial insurance in order to be properly protected? Is this accurate? What type of coverage does everyone have out there?
@James Smith thanks for your reply James. Unfortunately my insurance doesn’t cover any losses if I am doing Spark deliveries unless I am providing services to a TNC (transportation network company), I did contacted Spark and they confirmed that they are not a TNC so I recommend to double check with your company.
Ever since my encounter with *LeachTech* I keep grabbing good paying orders. Now making cool cash 🙂🙂
Why are you accepting orders over 30 minutes away?
If your phone doesn't scan the barcode for the pick up what can you do next
Try couple times works
More than likely you have been offered a order that someone has canceled. Most offers give you a 45 minute pickup.
Once you stick the sticker to your chest you must mark yourself as delivert.
Contact Driver Support or Report Issue (Suggestions) and TELL them need "Pick up time UPDATED for trip# for store#" This will allow you more "ON TIME ARRIVAL"
Is the delivery taken away from you if if you are late to drive to walmart to pick up the order?
Ever since my encounter with *LeachTech* I keep grabbing good paying orders. Now making cool cash 🙂🙂
He's on lG
I did it Uber eats delivery a few weeks ago for an alcohol delivery, it was a very long drive and when I got there and delivered the product to the customer and I was verifying his ID he dropped one of the bottles of alcohol, and then he announced to me that he was going to cancel the order and I was going to get reimbursed because he does this all the time. I’ve contacted Uber and they have no record of this delivery. I’m going to go over to the store where I picked up the delivery today and verify the information, but what happened? I didn’t get paid and the guy got his alcohol. Uber is not helping me.
Sounds to me like that is how that customer gets free alcohol.
The employees at Walmart need to put on bags or give them to you for your orders it’s their job to do their responsibilities
What were the tips?? You must know by know!
Is there a daily quick pay feature
Just clicked around a bit I didn’t see one
they r working on it coming this year
Question
Can I use my phone but the name and account is under my girlfriend name
The Spark service was great when I capitalized on incentive promo's..But they took back on later deliveries so be careful slow down do your due diligence and don't let the computer beat you it's a war everyday I live i n the city connected to pure country living it's not like where your at in PA . spark does have serveral pickers completing one order .It's faster and smart on Walmarts behalf cause say 2 employees get 2 isles so every two isles until full . Walmart or spark receive eachorder I believe the pickers have a scan tool it will beep to the pickers if it not on your isle ignore it ..Every morning all the delivers are dispersed as they fill 100%>>and one tweek it only gets sent to drivers after order is ready all ready time is money and money is time to each and every driver..spark (spark aka Wal Mart can slow how much money is going out holding back production and payouts they only want to pay truly 10.00 a hour that's when they do so called batched orders..never a true batch. B's and should be illegal
I got on the wait list for Walmart spark. I wonder how long it will be before they contact me back.
Same!
I got the email on the 10th I was in the waiting list and today I got the email that I can start today. So 7 days after the email that I was in the waiting list I was sent the email to start today
@@nativewear23 I got it on 1/28 so it’s been ten days for me. 🤞🏻
Update, I’ve since gotten on but haven’t used Spark yet
@@jasondoolin6476 they have the best payouts! But it’s a grind bringing all those bags to the door. Last week I got a shop and delivery for 34.00 for .02 miles and it was just for a cake. But the con is if they are out of stock they only pay you 2.50 for the trip.
Major question: does spark do Sam’s deliveries??
Minor answer: yes
@@Daryl-S haha awesome. Thank you
@@jasondoolin6476 you're welcome!
Here in San Diego, these fools work sooooo damn slow!
Here in Atlanta they started a shopping feature like instacart. Has anyone had any experience with this.
Yeah they been had that , shop and delivery
$19.50 plus tips
Why would you drive there first before telling them ? You won’t be paid for driving there if you do that and then you are missing out on the mileages and hourly. Not smart.
Mike you don't count commuting time as work time. Commuting miles are not business miles either, they are personal miles. You don't get paid from a W2 job when you leave your house to go to work. Neither should you count your commute as work time because it's not.
I heard a tax professional state that going to the site doesn't count as business miles only after you receive your first order and your last order
JUST SO EVERYONE IS AWARE, SPARK KNOWS WHEN IT WAS ASSIGNED, WHEN YOU GET THERE, WHEN YOU SCAN LABELS. IT WILL NOT MESS YOUR METRICS UP. THEY TRACK IT BY YOUR LOCATION. NOW IF YOU PICK UP ORDER AND TAKE EXTENDED TIME TRYING TO CROSS PLATFORM THEN THEY WILL HIT YOUR METRICS.
TIP: IF YOU NEED TO CANCEL AN ORDER AFTER ACCEPTING CALL SPARK SUPPORT AND HAVE THEM CANCEL IT ( IT WILL NOT GO AGAINST METRICS, YOUR WELCOME)
I always help load because they'll smash your bread and eggs and chips.
I found that they never give me enough time to shop, either!!
Hi Linda, I did get one shopping request. I’ll accept one so we can see how it goes
I don't pay attention to that, I go nice and easy. It Gets done when it gets done, if not it stresses you out.
it has a clock on it says u r running out of time. mike u won’t like that the items aren’t in aisle order so u can be at one end of the store and the next item at the other end. each item has an aisle number and section number so u can find the item quickly. so u hit the back arrow to view the shopping list and see the dairy section grab those items the produce items etc so u aren’t running back and forth but on the back arrow it’s the shopping list u 1st saw so it doesn’t hv aisle numbers so depending on how well u know the store, it may save u time or not. if u r on the shopping list u can’t do substitutes. u can only do substitutes once u are back on the start shopping screen for an item u can’t find but the shopping list(before u hit the start shopping button but then u hit start shopping to start the clock or it will run out but then hit back arrow to view the shopping list u 1st saw, then hit resume to start shopping again)u can also use the skip button. when u scan a upc code it may not always accept it and u hv to put it in manually.
My area say it full 😟
Is this job taxable I’m just downloading the app will give it a try
Lol of course
Yes, most all gig apps are 1099 independent contractor work so you’re responsible for taxes
Only if you pay them lol
Any job that requires you to provide a Social Security Number or EIN, you will have to pay the taxes on that income.
save 30% of each paycheck for the irs put in separate account from your personal
Worked my first day yesterday. 9 trips $133 made +$50 bonus for completing first 5 trips. Total $183. Couple things I don't like is I don't see any option for instant cash out. As well if you get batch orders 2+ it only counts as one delivery. Which sucks because if you are trying to reach a bonus and you get a batch order of 12 you don't get credit for 12 trips but only 1 ..
