First Spark order with the “boost” line

It was a single order, not worthy of the miles driven, and it went up a dollar on the offer card with the word “boost” in front of it. Shades of old Instacart… which used to do that… and you knew they topped out at $12. Now they just have a flame icon to inform you it was boosted. Used to be a buck each time. Now it’s 50 cents. Instacart offer card screenshot… waiting for the Spark one to come back then I’ll screenshot that. Anyone else see that yet?

Speeding ticket

Pleaded not guilty and having a meeting with the arbitrator. What are some of my options to not have this moving violation? Like a weird parking one? Or…?I have no problem paying the fine but don’t want to lose my Spark account over this…

Vehicle damage

When I had my 2018 Toyota Tacoma , I would come back to it from a shop with damage in it every couple weeks. Even though I parked at the end of a row away from the building and where few people park. But still..scratches & gouges someone ripped off the gas door cover , there was an attempt at ripping off a mirror but they just got a plastic sleeve that hid wiring for the heater and the safety feature. I had been harassed somewhat by several drivers from not around here ( Indiana and Illinois plates)… one guy comes up and say “ why you never wait? You drive up and going shopping” not that i owed him an explanation. I’ve had them look over my shoulder while I was shopping. And so on. Once I started parking near a parking lot camera and have a fake dashboard cam ( it’s actually a solar battery) I’ve been left alone. Until today.

Well, I have a 2023 Taco now and park pretty far away as I usually do but next to a cart corral and near one of the parking lot exits. Today someone jammed a cart between my truck and corral so tight I had to tug twice to get it out. There were only 3 carts in the corral and the cart was dry, unlike the 3 in the cart that a brief rain shower had wetted. So this was done deliberately within 5 minutes of me exiting.
Management said if I file a hit and run police report they can pull video. I would like to know who did this but am leery of having ANYTHING on my Crystal clean driving record. There are several scratches but hard to see now that I’ve buffed them out.
What does the hive mind think? If this is acts of deliberate sabotage by jealous drivers I want to nip it in the bud. I sang to make a little , perhaps a bilingual sign, I for the cap door that says something alone the lines of Smile! You are on camera to thwart the next nefarious action.

Express orders

Three shop-n-drop orders. How is that even right? But the customers had to wait longer while I shopped for everyone…30 items + 25 items+ 2 items. 24/15 for 5 mile. Do you think at least 2 paid the express fee? Curious….

3 pm observations

This is when the GMDs hit and now the 3 S&D now. Well, I’ve been at it since 6 am so maybe go home and play with plants as my self imposed minimum had been achieved. Hope everyone is having a lucrative holiday!

Banned from posting on Spark Driver teddit

Great posts on shenanigans on Walmart’s end. I just got banned from expanding on someone else who had been permanently banned from that Reddit for preaching the truth. Something stinks here. Coming here to reopen the subject. D sad park is manipulating tips. People who have tipped $10 and I got &5 is just one example. Drivers taking their relative’s orders confirm this… relative tipped $15 and driver hot $5. Anyone else have an experience like this tip skimming?

Triple shops

I saw two from the store 49 miles to the north that is paired with my store. And at least 5 came through today. And people are taking them!!!! They are staying on my screen long enough for me to go into the orders & see what is on them. One almost got me as the 3rd order was 3 items…. Graduation theme mug, flowers and something else.
But I stayed strong. And another order of reasonable remittance came through to make up for me actually.
make up for rejecting them.. and I shall reject them every time seeing whether a JFY or FCFS.
Reject the 3 shops! Send the message!
