    Its very unfortunate that this has to happen. It seems like the really good hard working drivers are getting deactivated while, to mention your words, friends and buddies get to keep working. Walmart needs to be made aware of this. Their employees run the show from each store. And if you they dont like you taking your share of the orders they will boot you quickly. Another thing that slays me is the lack of professionalism in this driver pool. Taking whatever pops up regardless. You can say what you want but, WM never gives you time to make a informed de cession on the offer because they send it out to everyone at once. Very sad you have to just take what they dish out. Or, get left out of each round. This is nothing more than Employer/Employee relationship. And they need to be reported to the Feds for breaking laws. You and I both know they are a mega retailer and they are so large that Bentonville don't even have a clue what goes on in any store. Therefore they truly don't care about Spark drivers at all.

    1410 US 411 Maryville TN Not checking ID and probably never will, because I saw a scammer come out of an employee door. So I know store level is in on it. This guy was picking my shopping order that I had it was a round robin that was taken from me with 45 sec. I saw apple air tags. Then I went in and saw him getting the apple air tags. So I know they can steal round robins 5 times I’ve had round robins with timers taken from me with 40+ secs still left. It makes me sick to my stomach that they get away with this

    I just got deactivated two weeks ago because they said I uploaded fraudulent insurance which i didn't I sent the same insurance information the next day and it got approved and they still deactivated me. I feel discrimination against the platform with American drivers and emailed Doug McMillan about my deactivation and the discrimination they have with certain drivers. Their reason for deactivationg me was for fraud insurance where they approved my insurance the next day. I really feel a lawsuit needs to take place because this was my main income

    It's customer's safety thst is the issue, you can have a person that is not a citizen with no paperwork or documentation working in the country and showing up at customer's house when they are not the person assigned to the order.
    When somebody doesn't going through vetting system, they can be a dangerous person or a criminal out to cause problems.
    It's also not fair for the citizens to be put out of work because of the scammers who may or may not be illegal immigrants who are not legally allowed to work in the country.

    Store 2956 Shorewood, IL. I've shown photos of drivers checking out who had two spark phones out while shopping, and demanded they check the ID. They said they know there's a problem, but corporate said "no ID checks." It's really frustrating when you have the proof right there, and the company simply does not give a shit about Spark's rules, and ignoring the tool (ID checks) they have been given to stop to fraud.

Why wouldn't you want an ID check? Privacy doesn't apply here. It's in the new TOS that we are required to show ID to employees when asked.

I'm just saying who's looking out for the safety of the drivers.

    Well I went to the supervisor of my local Walmart that I deliver from and they said they're not checking IDs they don't care who picks it up as long as the stuff is removed from the back of the room I don't know but I think this is a good idea and it may work for a short while but I'm sure you know when these people are like professional scammers they'll find another way around it somehow. In my whole area is polluted with undocumented workers and scammers I mean you can sit back and watch them just shop after shop after shop and everybody's sitting in their car besides them and they just don't care and I don't think it should be at Walmart's discretion. Walmart should be liable to make sure that they do this anytime there's a suspicion of fraud or anything with all this going on we're all sitting around even telling the store manager everybody and they will not listen to us cuz I don't care but they should make sure the all stores are complying but they have no problem deactivating people for stupid stuff
