    I've been testing out Walmart spark for the past week and have already noticed "tip-baiting" on the app. I had a customer put $15 on Sunday and by the next day, the tip was removed after I had already delivered her groceries. The app says that customers have 24 hours to change their tip amount, so I've had a few customers remove the tip or lower it but then they don't leave any additional feedback. I hope in the near future Walmart removes the ability for customers to remove their tip, especially if they aren't even providing a valid reason why. 🙄

      I've been driving for Spark for a few months now. I never had any trouble with tip baiting until the last 3 weeks. I call support, option 2, to confirm each and every time so it's documented. Supposedly they are working on solutions but who knows. I also keep a list of people who pull tips, and reference it every day before making a choice.

    I had a 19 order batch yesterday, and a 15 today. Both paid pretty well and the app had the drop order arranged great...lots of orders were in close proximity to each other and the store, which made delivery a breeze. Holiday season is definitely lucrative for sparkers.

  • @TheSmartSister823
    @TheSmartSister823 2 роки тому +32

    Just a few things I do personally that have seemed to help make a small difference.
    Text the customer when you're on the way to their address. Note: Talking the regular orders, not the big 12-15 stop deals. This gives them time to put dogs away or make sure to not be on the john when you arrive, etc.
    Be aware that you're probably on camera. The Ring doorbell, etc. They can see if you're handling their groceries roughly, or talking bad about them or their house, etc. Keep all that to yourself back in the car!
    On really hot days? Keep a few cold bags in your car, and let them see you bringing them to the door to unload their cold items. Most will notice.
    Lastly? Make friends with the Walmart associates. A lot of our frustrations as Spark drivers? They have ZERO control over. Just talk to them and it will do a lot for you and for them. Thanks!

    Spark has been a game changer for me. Been doing it for 3 weeks and it's so much easier to hit my daily goal using Spark and multiapping with IE, DD, UE, and Roadie between Walmart orders.

  • @turishchevawhite5857
    @turishchevawhite5857 2 роки тому +4

    I have great customer service, however you have people that will add a tip to make their order more appealing for you to choose because they know they live in an unsavory/unsafe part of town. But because they have 24/48 hours depending on the type of trip, to adjust their tip they will remove it. This never happens in any of the other area I deliver to. I have called customer service about this issue and they do nothing about it, only say for you to call and identify which customers are doing that.
    In short check your tips and make sure you did receive them!

    Last week I lost about $45 of tips it was all tip baited and also I felt customers are doing this purposely and this occurs on very large orders like mulitple trips of water and other heavy items. These were baited and my ratings dropped. I put them all at their door and I don't see why the reason to tip $20 and come out zero.

    Tip baiting has been so prevalent on Spark in San Diego. I've used Uber Eats and only ever had 2 orders take back the tip...in 6 months. I started Spark last week and already have 35$ missing in last weeks deliveries. Just today I had a $20 order for just baby formula, but it turned into $15 just 20 seconds after hand delivering it to her. 🙃

And I didn’t really know if acceptance rate matters.. Mine is 32% now and I am only seeing orders with 1-15 items which is around 11-17$. I see spark drivers doing like 30-70 items.. I wonder what should I do to get high paying offers.. Any advice appreciated.

    I'm new to Spark, although I've been driving for several other platforms for a couple years. I like Spark but in just my 1st 10 trips they have already shorted me over $30 in delivery pay...I take a screenshot of every offer I accept and I have reached out to support, who acknowledged my concern and had me send all my screenshots to request my "missing pay" as they titled it, but it has been a couple of weeks and there has been no further response or pay adjustment. This is very concerning as a new driver. In all other platforms I have not ever had any issues. I'd strongly urge you all to pay close attention to what you're offered and what you're actually paid. Many people don't cross reference and just let the earnings roll in without checking that it's correct. Has anyone else noticed consistent shortage of delivery pay on this platform??

    • @jeffw1124
      @jeffw1124 2 роки тому +1

      My experience with Spark is that you can call, get a ticket # for the issue, and email, but they don't follow up or take care of the issue, unless it takes care of itself. I am still waiting on pay for an app glitch from over 2 months ago. They can only do the basic things. I like it overall, but when they or the app makes a mistake, they should be on top of it and take care of the drivers.

When it first started spark was only be busy on the weekends. But I've been doing it during the weekdays and it's easy to get offers because it is busy 7 days a week now.

    Guarenteed earning are not what they seem. Even reading exactly what the incentive says, is not true. I have reached out to 'management' on spark support 2 months ago about the wording with these incentives and they still have not been changed. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, find out what store number you're delivering from. There are 2 walmarts in my delivery area. Even though one is 25 minutes (21 miles) away from the store i deliver from. Certain incentives will say store number, not town.
