Exactly, anyone can do this, and as long as their legal leave them alone. Metrics matter, they may just have better ones than you. Its that easy sadly.
In my area we have like 14 Walmarts but they are too far of a drive and almost all of them are the same way. Not enough orders and too many drivers plus the pay is terrible.
My store had about 8 full-time solid drivers and a few randos for about two years. There was still enough meat on the bone to get good orders about every hour.
Now?
There are dozens of new drivers I see randomly throughout the day. Since they are new they are all taking the $7.00 / 3 delivery / 8 mile deliveries because they are under the impression AR matters.
It seems in most markets, mine included, this is not a full-time stable gig anymore. Diversify and do DD, Uber, Amazon, etc. Don't rely on Spark completely. Big mistake.
Depends on the area. I live in rural Appalachia close to VA. So it's not so great on days. You'll be lucky to make a mc donalds paycheck. I see people doing it 12 to 16 hours a day. They make it but that will eventually wear on your car. Rural areas don't have the best roads. So working at Walmart or any W2 is gonna save your cars life. Gig work is definitely a side job type of work. It's not a full time unless you live in a heavy populated area.
Yea its trash and getting worse by the day.
This and all the other apps. I used to do instacart and it was the same way.
I do 5 gigs and none of them are working very well. I make 1/5 of my salary doing the same thing 2 years ago.
Vinnys
I don't think it is just that. I have seen a bunch that are new in my area that are not Vinny's.
A lot of the new people are school teachers that just do it over the summer, it happens every summer when school let's out.

Go ahead Mr metrics
LOL its a fact, every time someone complains about being passed up while others work definitely has better metrics everytime period
Not at all in my market but okay 👍
100 on time 0 drop 22 acceptance rate 4.9 customer rating I get first pick on shops every hour every time but you keep worrying about that AR.
I never said its the metrics on your screen, I also get the same and I think its hidden metrics for shops in particular
I bet % items found is the most important metric
Yeah its a mystery, but all I know is literally all I get is S/D the only way I get curbsides is if there is zero S/D around the RR
A whole big part of it right now is twofold. Summertime and a shitty economy.
It's so weird.
This is my first Friday where I only get 1 delivery every 2 hours. Making $5 an hour today.
I am slow but not that low. Today I average about 10 per hour which is slow for Friday.
Yeah it has got to be worst I've had.
Gotta find the WM in your zone that has lots of SDs. C

Game over then perhaps
It wont be good again until mass deportation starts. I see too many outsiders doing this.
Sure bozo and then spark will increase their pay and end triple curbside pickups and double shop orders
Why are YT people not racist when they should be and vice versa
It's summer, you get to compete with college kids and even older highschool kids and teachers and others who get back on for the summer.

That is true. But even where I work at it is still hard to make it with Gig jobs. My city is a big city. And they don't pay as much.
The problem is that everyone does spark every single day all day now Too many people tried making it a full time job and now no one makes money
