I do because Spark doesn’t account for time I need to get to the store and it’s questionable if my shopping time is logged correctly? It says estimated time. (Also for mileage deduction purposes)

It’s really shady how all these rideshare/gig companies calculate their times and mileage.

I actually find Lyft to be most upfront about this. It clearly shows when the trip was accepted, when and how many miles it took for you to get customer to picked up and dropped off. It shouldn’t be that hard to be clear but so many companies dance around this to make drivers confused

1. Spark doesn’t show time it took for you to get to the store
2. Spark doesn’t show how long it took for you to finish shopping (it says estimated, I think that means how long it was estimated, not actual time taken)

I have been tracking every trip. I think I get close to 25ish an hour but more sample is needed.

Also how they calculate every paycheck is beyond confusing. Everything about the app is trying to give as little info and make it confusing for drivers to calculate their true hourly rate.

My location is so short staffed and mismanaged and no one seems to care at all. I mean there is never cashier on duty either unless you specifically go ask for one.

So yeah, I am still getting free sip multiple times a day benefits.

It's frustrating to see so many people trapped in gig economy debt just because they insisted on buying a brand-new truck or SUV.
After financing a $1,000 car note at 15% interest, they find themselves working endless rideshare hours solely to pay off the vehicle.
Newsflash: You don't need a $50,000 Jeep. You need a used $10,000 Kia.
