In my market people are just snatching these orders up. This is worse than those folks taking $2 orders on Uber or Doordash. These are Sherwin paint orders with multiple 5 gallon buckets of paint. Someone took a 800lb for $34 also. If you are on this app wait for them to text you before taking orders because they will pay a lot more than what they first show.

I was like what is the catch. Took a break for a couple weeks. Was about to pull out my hair driving for Uber. Sometimes I glance at quests here and there. I guess I lucked out. Why can’t all quests be this simple.

Why TF does Uber think I need them to text me twice an hour about planner reservations?!

Why do I even need the dammm planner?!?!

Every week I just go in and reserve every single hour that isn’t when I sleep so that I can still work whenever I want. There’s no limit anymore so genuinely what is the point.

I’ve blocked the phone numbers over how annoying these are. These come from multiple phone numbers btw.

Overall a amazing day for spark in my area, the app was telling me it was gonna slow down so I came home. I went out for just 3 hours and 10 minutes and pulled these great offers today, keep sparking out there!

An average night with an average Taco Bell order to an apartment complex.

Taco Bell here is decent I get a quick and smooth pickup and I’m on my way 🚗

I get to the complex and there’s a pin on the map and a building number and apartment number. Shouldn’t be too hard. I text the customer “Arriving shortly” no response.

First I pull straight up to the pin on the map. I notice there is a building there but don’t see the right door so I check the address on Google Maps. I see that the address points to three buildings over and so I assume the pin may be inaccurate and I text the customer “which is the correct building?”📱 no response once again.

So I go to the building I confirm it’s the same building as listed in the app. I find the correct door number. And that’s when I realized I needed a delivery PIN.

I ring the doorbell and text the customer “I am here. What is the delivery PIN?” Still no response 🙃

So I click can’t receive pin, I deliver to the building and door listed, I take a picture just in case, and, after 10 minutes and finally delivering, I get in my car and start to drive away 🚘

*RING RING RING*

My phone starts blowing up from two different random phone numbers and I’m like nah not even going to waste my time especially since the numbers don’t say uber or uber support or whatever. And immediately after two phone calls I get a notification that the order was never delivered 😡

At this point I’m livid, I drive straight back to the apartment complex with the plan of banging on their door and calling the cops (at this point I’m assuming they are scamming for the free food). I pull up to where I delivered the food and it’s still there. 🧐

I go three buildings down and what do you know it’s a different building number but the doors are the same number. Where the door I delivered to was #100 this door was also exactly #100. So it’s like you saw me at your front door and then in your neighborhood for 10 minutes, texted you multiple times with no response, and then finally had to say fuck it and deliver exactly where it told me. At no point did the customer even attempt to help or try or get his food, who was also likely watching me because he needed to give me a PIN and I was right outside his apartment for 10 minutes. But as soon as I delivery and leave THEN you want to call and figure out what’s happening and help. I can only assume that he figured since I needed a PIN I was just SOL until I found him somehow. Well, sorry not sorry, maybe if your apartments are confusing, your typed in address is wrong, and you let the courier f*ck off in the cold for 10 minutes then you don’t deserve an apology.

I tried to dispute and show support the picture I took but they didn’t gaf and told me to just do 100 more deliveries. So I said screw it and I took the Taco Bell home and watched No Country For Old Men while eating free Taco Bell. (I would’ve delivered it to the correct door if they responded to any text or did anything besides ignore me until I left the area completely, also I would’ve delivered it post delivering if they hadn’t immediately reported ‘not-delivered’ 10 seconds after marking it complete) 🔔
