Welcome back! Nice earnings for the day. Spark placed me in a waiting list probably 5 to 6 months now. I haven't checked back yet. That earnings would be good right now. Congratulations on your wife graduation and is an official RN! That's awesome! I truly enjoy your drawings! Blessings
we have drivers who go shop an order and then hand the phone off to a driver and that driver hands them their phone and they go back inside to shop another, this will hopefully fix that
Good to see you back and you had a good shift! As long as the app doesn't glitch, ID photo pic is fine. I have not been doing Spark since June. When they asked for my drivers license, the app wouldn't approve the back of it. I called a few times to get a resolution for almost a month, but they didn't ever get it back to me to resolve it. Then I tried it at my friend's house and it went through. I wonder if it has something about being at my house. IDK. I haven't been out yet, and it's already asking for a photo ID pic.
That’s nuts! Sometimes my app glitches. Spark like any other app has good days and bad days, but otherwise..maybe it’s your connectivity at home vs. elsewhere? I have no idea!
The ID checks mean squat. They aren’t done consistently. And as Woody Harrelson says in the movie “The People vs. Larry Flynt”……. “My dog could get an ID, from my goat.” These bot users/scammers/illegal immigrants have like 4,5,6 phones each with a fake ID inside the phone case of the phone they’re using and the name on the ID matches the name on the Spark account they’ve stolen and are using. The problem is the bots. Eliminate that and make it to where every driver has the same earnings opportunities across the board and you’ve fixed the problem.
Welcome back! $50 order is awesome! I never see offers that high... only once and the person tip baited and removed $26 the next day. Another update on the app I recently noticed is the change for bananas. Now it's easier to know if they want 5 individual bananas or 5 bunches😅
At least a Customers have complained that a few men came to the door with the groceries and scanned a license then took a picture of it and said we have another one is another language. She happened to understand said language. Corporate heard about these stories. That’s dangerous to the customers. I think Walmart didn’t have much choice anymore.
walmart won't enforce it though.. they want the stuff delivered no matter the cost. we have shopping bots in my store all day long and their iD never matches, paper plates on cars (we have cops involved on that so far) and stealing. as long as the order gets out the store management and corp get their bonuses. Its all about bonuses.
@@ScareHollow you may be right. But if customers keep getting 4 men walking up to their doors taking pics of their drivers license. They’ll keep losing business.
I was watching a year-old video, and you said you were in contact with a gallery good for you, I can't draw myself, but I bought a couple amateur drawings off this girl that caught my eye. your art looks pretty good keep it up. when I was 16, I had to spend time at a boy's home and in art class I drew a castle in the clouds and won first place and they gave me 5.00 and kept my drawing, if this idea of a drawing "sparks" your attention draw it up I did black and white. cool man I will sub you up I am about to try spark as my first gig.
Glad to see you back, man! You mentioned shifts. Is Spark beginning to schedule drivers with allotted time slots, or was that just something you made for yourself to hit for the day? Thanks!
good.. our zone has had 2 drivers attempt to steal while shopping and management did nothing.. so i went higher up and go corporate involved. Im not going to 2 tiny uscan registers by force if they aren't going to enforce the reason we are forced to go to those registers. I don't know if happens at your store but ours makes us go to 2 tiny uscans only as drivers.. yet other bigger ones are wide open. we do it to be nice but it's not part of our contract and its starting to cause problems.
I have to do the ID verification every 48 hours. Every time they make me scan my driver's license...which I have to do 3 times because it never accepts the Pic of the back of the license. After the 3rd time, it makes me do a selfie for facial recognition. Then after about 20 minutes I have to contact support to have them "escalate this one" the longest I've had to wait is 16 hours. Shortest has been 10 minutes.
Taking a photo of yourself at the customers house while delivering especially if the customer comes out ya thats nonsense. If they want to keep there app secure then do what instacart does which is a random selfie when you least expect it. Also photo of ID is unnecessary they already have that info on file its completely ridiculous.
It needs to happen at my Walmart we have several from Out of state that have come in and are scamming the system. We all see them with up to 3 phones each. You have to assume that means they are using different names on the phones. The only way they can be slowed down is if the name doesn’t match the license at least that name is out. One of these guys also took his friends and they all carried the groceries. It scared the customer. They scanned her id for alcohol. Then took a pic of it and said we got another license. Scammers should not be doing these deliveries. Yea Walmart should do it in a different way. Not right at the door. That’s inconvenient. But it’s a start
Question: Just one more and I swear I will try to leave you alone 😅 What is your advice on things I should keep in mind when it comes to taxes; miles, phone, gas, etc.? Honestly this is the only thing that makes me a bit "nervous" for lack of a better word when it comes to doing this. I am signing up for Walmart Spark today, your videos are amazing and entertaining, thanks for answering my questions. I've asked these questions to other TH-camrs as well and you are the only one that responds, so thank you so much for all the info. I appreciate you.
The deduction video should help some! Make sure to test your vehicles gas milage with your orders. For instance, I know that in my market a full tank costs about $60 for my truck. That $60 over a weekend can turn into about $350 before I need to fill up again. Also, make sure you take an extra battery with you to charge your phone, a cell phone holder in your car to be hands free, and finally one or two plastic tubs( or bags) to make carrying multiple grocery bags easier!! You got this!
Question: maybe you've already addressed this, I know each state is different, but how much is a good percentage to put aside for taxes each pay period?
Question: Shop and Deliver: when you check out and you have lets say 2 orders do you bag one and then scan the QR code and then bag the next one and scan the QR code again or do you bag both and then scan the QR code just once? Thanks for answering my questions, I'll probably have more. 😅
Typically Walmart will prompt you to bag one order then the next. Then scan the qr code at the end. A double order shop and deliver will ask you to scan an item from each order at drop off to make sure you have delivered the right order to its location.
Congrats to your wife and happy to see you back
Happy to see you back!
Thanks so much!
Glad to see you back! I missed your videos!
Glad to be back! Thanks for watching!!
I love that Walmart is protecting its customers!!! Wtg Walmart

@@zelmabyrn2115 so many kind words. Thank you. I was on the waiting list for 5 months before they got back to me. So, I know how you feel!
Congratulations 🎉 to your wife🎉
Thank you! She’s amazing!!

Hahahaha, those damn bananas!! I had that happen to me. I pulled a bunch, and they stopped me at the register. I looked like a thief. A BANANA THIEF

Great to see you back and congratulations on your wife’s passing her nursing 🧑🍼

Does the amount you mention for a trip include the tip?
@@mollywoolsey7677 it does. Yes.

@@Draintheswamp2024 that’s awesome! Hope you make lots of money on your first shift! Art is my passion, and maybe someday a livelihood!
Glad to see you back, man!
You mentioned shifts. Is Spark beginning to schedule drivers with allotted time slots, or was that just something you made for yourself to hit for the day?
Thanks!
That was just the shift I set for the day. I scheduled my self from 930 to 130. Spark is still “make your own hours”!
@@Missippidashing Sweet - thanks for the info!
Do you have to sign up for shifts in your area?
You do not. Sign in and out when ever you wish.
good.. our zone has had 2 drivers attempt to steal while shopping and management did nothing.. so i went higher up and go corporate involved.

That’s insane!! I wonder why that is?
only ever have to do face for me.. never asked for the ID yet...

spark is doing that. had a random face scan after i ended a run at the house
not that big of deal

Just found your Great Tax Deductions video. 😂 I probably should have watched that first.
The deduction video should help some! Make sure to test your vehicles gas milage with your orders. For instance, I know that in my market a full tank costs about $60 for my truck. That $60 over a weekend can turn into about $350 before I need to fill up again.

You got this!
Question: maybe you've already addressed this, I know each state is different, but how much is a good percentage to put aside for taxes each pay period?
20% is a safe bet. If all of your deductions are factored in you shouldn’t need that much.
@Missippidashing What about Trump starting out new year. He proposed before on "No tax on tips" if that ever was to pass.
Question: Shop and Deliver: when you check out and you have lets say 2 orders do you bag one and then scan the QR code and then bag the next one and scan the QR code again or do you bag both and then scan the QR code just once?
