Ok some perspective from the customer point of view. First of all, THANK YOU TO ALL MY DELIVERY DRIVERS ❤. I am a senior who no longer drives and grocery delivery is a life saver for me. I always tip well and extra if water or soda is in my delivery. I do live in an apartment with an elevator, but I know how heavy the groceries are. So bless all my delivery drivers, I wish they paid more, you’re definitely worth it.
It’s just your first day. I get great orders very early in the morning. Especially on weekends. Make sure you read the orders though… you don’t want to get stuck delivering those 40 bottle cases of water to the 3rd floor of an apartment! That’s the good thing about Spark, you see what you are picking up and where you’re delivering. Def reconsider shopping orders. They pay more and for the most part it’s really easy shopping, The app brings you right to the product. Best of luck!
💯
I have a feeling she won't like Spark much when she gets those cases of water. Spark/Walmart deliveries are more work than just picking up and delivering fast food.
Spark is trash
@@B_Bodziaklook at the items they ordered, if you click on the item list it will show you everything they ordered and then you can determine if you want to take it or not
@@B_Bodziak Im not sure about home depot, I never did those so idk if you can see what they ordered like you can on walmart orders
In my market the only people that use spark live on the third floor and up. And all they want is cases of water and soda.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@B_Bodziakcollapsible wagon is ESSENTIAL for Spark & Amazon Flex. 💯💯💯
I don’t deliver to apartments anymore it’s always a pain no parking and the parking I do find means packing everything 50+ yards
True in my market also. They want everyone else to do the dirty work.
Fuccc them let them go get their own water cases
If it says “no tip”10 times out of 10, they will not tip later lol
I always do no tip. Then I give a good cash tip they don’t have to report on taxes.
True
I do no tip and tip cash as well. One time I forgot to have cash and had to put on the app but feel bad because some say they don’t receive it that same day? So I do cash slways instead because people need it quick sometimes
@J-rt9ez that's what I do I tip at door. Because once someone told me that some companies take a percentage of the tip and I want the person to get all their money. I tip 20% at the door.
@@B_BodziakI don’t take no tips orders on principle PLUS on the off chance they tip cash in-person, I’m not trying to be snatched and kidnapped. I think about the driver that delivered and hand off order and they snatched him inside and unalived him. ☹️
Lol. Oh honey you will get the hang of it. Don't worry. In my case, my Walmart is a half a block from me. I get offers while I am at home and I take the first pick up at 745am. I don't do Home Depot orders. I am careful with Sam's because of bulk orders. I do not do apartment orders either.
@B_Bodziak The offer will indicate it at the bottom like this "40-50lb. Apartment Alcohol" then you click on the little arrow to open the order and view items for each drop off
@@kristiecasay3989thank you
Girl, you had me cracking up this whole video😂 thanks for brightening my day!! I just got on Spark a week and a half ago and definitely agree- the shopping orders are where it's at! The app tells you the exact location of each item and the pay is usually good for low miles and few items. Super easy and fun!! Hope you get some of those good orders and Spark becomes another boost to your income! Keep on hustling 😊
I love spark, yes it has some negatives but so do all the apps. With spark, I'd rather take an order that has higher base pay and little tip. Less of a chance of tip baiting. And you get the base pay funds right away, versus 24 hrs for the tip. One of the downfalls is wasting time waiting for an order then accepting it and have to wait 20 minutes to start it. But i much prefer shopping orders, they are so quick! And I've had issues with curbside.. they just literally throw the bags in my car. A half gallon milk jug broke open IN MY CAR because of them throwing the bags. So I prefer the shopping orders, I control how they are bagged and I load my car gently.. not like a crazy person lol
@B_Bodziak Sometimes, yes they tip bait. They do it so their order gets delivered quicker but then takes the tip away after delivery... it's sickening and not ok at all!
Can we deliver on bike ?
Proud that you’ve gotten on Spark! Hope that you do great and adds a mix to your day!
What helped me so much with Spark was watching other people on CZcams go thru orders step by step. It can get confusing if you’re unsure of how it works. You can be very successful with it once you become more comfortable with it! Good luck, I know you’ll do great!
Ditto on this. I remember before I started I went through all the tutorials and devoured the CZcams videos. It also helped me to join my local FB group, too. I learned the ins and outs of each store and where the good pay range was. I also can see on a daily basis what stores are busy. I learned a lot way back when I started before I even picked up my first order. I also do Shipt, UE, and IC, and I make more money hands down on Spark but I think much of it is because I know the ins and outs better on the Spark app. I also knew the idiosyncracies of the app - of which there are many, depending on what the update has messed up this time. I know how to troubleshoot before I come across the problem the first time. That saves time and money when the app acts up in the store.
Some tips:
You gotta sit pretty much at the walmart pin to get anything decent nowadays
Assume every order is gonna take an hour (factoring in wait times between orders)
14,000. You go, girl! Congratulations ❤
My hubby is not thrilled with Spark. Those people DO NOT TIP! They also want us to do multiple drops for crap money.
i am not happy with spark either but sometimes you got to do what you need to make money when dd is not working out
I thought I heard with Walmart u r not allowed to tip?
@@debbiel8585 no, they can if they choose. The problem I think it is, these people purchase tue yearly delivery so they don't feel like they need to tip for some crazy reason.
@@debbiel8585 some tip but they can take it away and you have know clue why or if you did something wrong or they are doing it just because
Yes, I also get great offers early am. Also in the evening by 5pm -8pm. You'll learn, hang in there
I must be doing it wrong, I quit at 5, need to step it up if I want to get paid
Congrats on Spark. Just remember it always takes time learning the new apps and what they offer. Great video - hope all is well.
Thanks for sharing your Sparks experience. ❤ The comments from viewers who also delivered for Spark gave some good tips and feedback too! 👍🏽😁
I like walmart orders. It is a bit more work, but you can take your time. You do not have to worry about tips. No spilling cokes on your floormat.
You just deliver and get your money, like Amazon Flex.
Always make sure you have a label for each order
Been watching since Nov I just started back gig as a line cook most shifts are 7 to 8 hrs but it's like 200 per shift plus I work my reg job of 40 hrs so it puts me at like 58 hrs per week we out here grinding keep up the good work
Ummmm… I just started Spark last week. My first order was 7 drop offs for $19.82. It took me an hour and a half. I thought, well….it’s my first order and I don’t want to reject it right off the bat, but I won’t be doing that again! I’m thinking of telling Spark to Spark off!
Nice!
😂😂😂
I have over 1400 deliveries. You do not have to take anything you don't want. They will not penalize you. There is no human sitting there watching your account. Its all just an algorithm.
Spark off.😂😂
Same lol Uber is way better sparks sucks I even went for a return to persons house guy wasn’t home I canceled order called sparks about it I got dinged for not completeting it wtf I called them they can’t do nothing about it im at 80% now orange
Yes there are really a lot of people not tipping. Watch out for tip baiting on Spark. Home Depot and Advanced Auto Parts do not allow tipping. I think Spark is the only one that allows tipping. Shop and Pays are not bad especially on their app. It tells you where everything is aisles, sections and modules. They typically pay better
Enjoying your videos, MM, good luck with Spark. I hope Potato and Adien are well.😊
Welcome to the Spark club! Lol. I've been doing it for 6 months. Love it!
Yay you completed your first Spark day. It will get better.
Spark seems really bad in my area..but 119 in 4 hours, much better than food delivery
Whoo hoo! you hit 14K!! Congrats! I love watching your channel grow, I have been here from close to the start of your dashing videos!
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations on #SPARK I still waiting and hope that I get on. And I gotta catch up on your videos. Girrrrrrrl you got them subscribers up! Alright now!!! Hello to the family!!
Wow, what a jerk about the TV! :( I'm always super grateful and appreciative of out delivery drivers. Unfortunately we have had a lot of issues with non-english speaking Spark drivers who can't read our directions and end up just dropping the order off at some other address that makes no sense at all. They even block the picture of the dropped off order with their hand because they knew they messed up. I know it's not easy to do these delivery jobs, so thank you for hard work. :)
Love the channel and thanks for ideas for side hustles for this single mommy and looks like my four month old is going with me on some deliveries
Signed up for spark but got denied because of a dismissed tollway ticket lol, I just laughed pretty sure a few years old dismissed tollway ticket is the least of Walmarts concerns lol
Wow😮
That's crazy! Wow.
Congratulations for getting on Spark!
Hi Mama glad you are having a chance to give spark a try, l admire you for all the work you do for your beautiful family you have more choices now never to depend one or the other 💪👍 love watching your videos 🙏❤️
Well shoot!!!!😩I was really hoping you would have great luck with Spark. I didn't realize how much you do not enjoy shopping at WalMart, because at least for me in a small market in Minnesota, the shopping is where the best money making potential is. I really hope it gets better as you accept more orders. Best of luck to you!😊💖
Just started watching. Laid off now myself, so let's see you're doing. Sending the love.
I use home delivery when I’m just too lazy to go myself and I always give a nice thank you tip!
I'm starting to learn that some people aren't necessarily rude they are just dumb as hell. 😂
Dumb and high on pot
@@JackWorkz 😂
@JackWorkz from customer service, I don't even think it's drugs. I think it's the brain something not clicking
@@swordtaker2 you're probably right, I was trying to find a reason to give the dummies a pass.. 😂
You're working hard for your money! I am navigationally challenged and dislike traffic. I appreciate the heck out of you who do this thankless work. I tip over and above in cash on the door. You don't see that on the app. I mean you get some on the app but then over and above
You will get this. It’s a learning experience. You are doing great. 👍
I love your videos!! You are such a hustler and I love that!! Keep up the great work! I would love to try this but I am not technical at all😂😂😂
Extra kudos to you too keeping a great attitude while dealing with these rude AHs.
Welcome to Spark! It’s a hit or miss for me: My best times are in the morning. If you cut on the app an hr before the opening you will high offers. I also use a laundry basket in the trunk to haul
the stuff one time. I use strap bags for water. Best wishes
Meaty Mama you should consider shopping. It tells you on the app exactly where things are. It's very easy. Aisle, section, and mod. Items are usually exactly where the app says it will be. Except produce and deli can be kind of hard. You may already know these things by watching other youtubers. I encourage you to try it a few times then decide. If you don't like it then don't do it anymore.💕
I know but I hate shopping there, lol
@@themeatymamait’s terrible shopping at Walmart , it’s a hit or miss if the items are available or not. Depending on what day & time you go. It can take too long, plus now Walmart brought back more cashiers & less self checkout it can get time consuming. 🙄🤦🏽♀️
your funny. give it a try. lol
@themeatymama shopping orders usually pay way better and it's always only 1 order now multiple
Hello! I just found your channel yesterday and really learned a lot and enjoyed it. Laughed a lot too. You are so funny and smart. I had NO idea that the person dropping off my Walmart items also shopped for them. OMGoodness!!! I just got my order today and asked the driver and Yes! She did shop for me too. Blows my mind! Walmart is so cheap to not tell us. I gave her 5 stars and a much better tip. I also posted my newfound info on my Facebook page. I'm shocked. Thank you for your channel. I have it on now while I try to chill out for a minute. I also have a special needs son who is 29 now. Lots of work for us single moms.
Congratulations on 14k🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love your sense of humor...we did Instacart back in NY before moving to Florida. Never heard of Spark but may need to check it out. Definitely subbed. You sound like me in the car haha. We vlog daily too.
Always tip well as we all are trying to pay bills. Gotta like MM.🎉
Do shops. The app breaks down the items to isle, shelf & space ! That 13 item one will take you 5 min!
That’s if they have all the items on the shelf. That’s one of the issues of shopping in these stores, sometimes they are not well stocked.
@@muniondalenewyurk6777or in diff sections lol that happend to me
Never turn the loaders loose to load your car. Always get out and make sure its loaded right and get your labels.
The customer on spark love tip you and then take it away after delivery
I'm grateful to you for make this videos you are a very kind honest person ✨️ ❤️
Remember it’s miles from the store to the drop off. Not miles from your current location.
This is another awesome video.. The chap with the T.V delivery sounds like it's an him problem 😳 Think I laughed too much when you said, "I'll put Betty on the back seat😂".. Thanks for sharing 😇
Lol you are funny girl. I was dying laughing over the look on your face with that giant box in the back seat.
Just found you on You Tube look forward to seeing your videos 😊
Yes, they have the option to tip on app! Go in a put in an order and see if if it shows an area for a tip!
I have a huge IKEA tarp bag that i put all groceries in so I don't sweat and wont make multiple trips, I also use catering bags for the perishable foods, and carry all at once or load the cart I have.
Good first day. You’ll find your groove.
Oh very very important to note this MM.❗️Sunday order TIPS will not reflect on your pay until the following week, following Tuesday cuz of their 24 hour tip window. You will only see delivery base pay and those tips will show on Monday for pay the following week.❗️
Yay!!! I just got on today myself.....I really hate that the orders come and other drivers take the offer. So I wish us both luck
I have only sparked few times. My total changed a few times after I was done over a few days with the addition of the tips and incentives. I still like DD better. I've been reluctant to try spark again.
Yes,it’s got option to tip,you can use the amount the app suggests or delete it and type your own amount
You need to be in a walmart parking lot. They drop orders around 25 to 33 after the hour
You dont need to be in a Walmart parking lot to get orders, I can sit in any parking lot or even my house and get them
Where I'm at you do there is alot of drivers
Yea with Spark you have to take the orange label from the tote for each order with you. Just rip the sticker off and put it in one of the bags for each order.
You can't expect it to be amazing on your first day of Spark. You definitely have to hustle doing Spark compared to the easier food delivery stuff. Just wait until you get those cases of water in your Spark orders and they are going to an upstairs apartment! FUN...
Also, ALWAYS double-check the delivery address shown in the Spark app to the one that your Google Maps generates. It isn't always correct. Trust me.
You go girl. Your inspiring.
some orders are better than others, not everyone tips, the best orders disappear fast it's good to combine all apps, yea, you don't check the items in the bags, just drop the order
Enjoy it while you can, they are always hiring new drivers and they will prioritize all of the orders to the new drivers...
I started with spark 3 weeks ago and I was told this by someone loading my vehicle. She said that new drivers get first dibs only in the beginning. The first week I worked with them I made great money. The last 2 weeks I've done nothing but reject every time I turn it on and see an offer.
@@outoftheashes_I started Monday Labor Day and I’ve gotten only 10 with the 3 days today Wednesday I’ve made 190$ but I’ve rejected a lot Uber pays more and only one or two items lol really really not liking sparks
The sass! 😂❤️
Oh, Mama… Spark is a different animal. U need to figure out what times the round robin curbside orders are sent out. That will change everything for you. In my market, they drop at :20 every hour starting at 7:20AM.
Now you have me double thinking if I want to do Spark lol.
Spark... You have to grab them, analyze them and decide whether you want to kick them back or not. Spark is so over saturated because it is good money when you can get one. Sometimes the shopping does pay much better than the deliveries
There are no additional tips added; what you see is what you get. Again, depending on your market, sometimes you can make much more on spark than you can with Uber Eats or DoorDash period. The only advantage to Uber Eats or DoorDash is you usually only have 1 or 2 drops offs. Spark tends to be at a minimum 3. Spark has come to the rescue for me here lately! ...but I also tend to keep all three on at the same time!
Your videos are so entertaining, real-life action love it. Stay motivated 💪 💯 just subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
It’s best to do spark early in the morning until around 3pm and also weekend mornings are really good .
Interesting. I’ve thought about doing gig work during summer break.
I’m in FL too Volusia county I’m on the waitlist for Spark bc my zone and nearby zones are full
It does seem like per hour/miles it was quite a bit better than normal. Im sure it gets better as you navigate the app.
Hang in there...also you are able to.check the items after scanning but you will figure out as you go
All my best, Mama. ❤❤❤
that's so awesome you got in spark. I'm still waiting to get accept :)
Me toooo
@@CountryGirl120 good luck, hope they approve you soon :)
Enjoyed your channel Thanks for sharing👍
Almost to 14k!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The shopping part at Walmart is very easy on the app. They give the aisle number and the shelf number exactly where the item is.
Yes I know what you are saying I would not want someone to say they didn’t get big ticket items! I had an order once for a computer from Best Buy and he told me to leave it at his door from his ring doorbell I was like no sir!
lol! Didn’t get to see the offer. Welcome to spark ! Hopefully you don’t have a vinnie problem in your area
Welcome new sparker! I love spark!
FYI...spark round robin orders only drop once per hour. Usually around the bottom of the hour. Depending on your area. Shopping orders can drop whenever they want to give you an order.
In my area the round Robin orders drop at the 20 minute mark (between 20-25 minute mark) and the 40 minute mark.
I like Spark a lot! Been doing it almost 2 years now. There’s a lot to learn but you will get the hang of it soon I’m sure. I would be glad to share some tips.
I won't even put in an order unless it's 40/50 bucks.. why do people even order a 10$ item and then complain its not delivered immediately
In the beginning of the video you turned on Spark and said it was 2:30pm and I was like oh no she already missed the pickup offers. Those usually happen anywhere from the 18 to 32 minute mark. Usually if you have a good store it will be the same time every day. My store drops orders normally at :24 on the hour. Always carefully check what people order before you accept or you can seriously get screwed. Tip baits happen sometimes but so do awesome tips.
Don't waste time on Home Depot orders unless they're somehow paying a lot. The store takes forever to get the items to you and it can sometimes be very big or heavy things you may not fit in your car or hurt your back on them. You have 2 weeks on Spark as a new driver getting the best orders so enjoy it while you can.
Be close to Walmart about :20 after each hour for the Round Robin drops. I used to make good side money (I have a W2) but the orders these days have dampened my spirits and I don’t get out as much as I used to. I’m not doing 3 drop offs, 8 miles for $11 🙄 If they pay with PayPal or EBT there isn’t an option to tip.
You can tip as long as you buy one non food item it will give you the option to tip
I feel like you’d be a great friend. I like your personality ❤
I think you should reconsider the shopping orders. I hate shopping anywhere for any reason, but I'd honestly rather the shopping orders over curbside on Spark 100%. Always only 1 customer, USUALLY (not all the time) its only a few item's, so they get knocked out in like 30 minutes or less.
The first day of any new job is hard. Once you get the hang of it you will be fine.
Aw hope the Spark orders get better for you! I'm guessing Home Depot won't allow people to tip (I order same day delivery from Sephora sometimes and it's fulfilled by DoorDash but we aren't able to tip through the Sephora app at all)
You gotta pay attention to the miles and also when you take the order, you’re only you don’t have much time you have to be at the store by the time that is specified if you’re about after five minutes late then orders gone because that’s what they’ve been doing to us lately, so you have to kind of watch thatwhen you see your order disappear on the screen, that means it gone somebody already took it so you’re doing your first day so you have a lot to learn, but you’re doing good so far when it says Fire drop, but we only don’t do four drops and the Fire drop me the first drop is at the store that’s what that means so you have to also pay attention to rejecting offers. Don’t really use reject button too much if you do you’ll get deactivated
i do see other get some nice pick ups on spark I guess you have to start some where , the thing many find about spark is you need to take note of what you picking up some might require a truck to pick up ..
I tend to do Walmart orders and do a cash tip instead. I put no tip but I always tip more than what is shown on there. Good thing for notes etc I put I’m on low level lol when it comes to water cases 😅😅
I have Walmart delivery and I usually have a large order but I always tip 20.00. I am in the Midwest by the way. I also live in a home with 4 stairs. I try not to take advantage because I understand hard work and I never want to have anyone work too hard.
How can they offer 11 different orders for 30.00? That’s just depressing.😂
You’re halarious though! 😂
The timer drops usually between 20-25 after the hour. Those are directly for you. The “extra earnings” are for everyone first come first serve…. Trust me spark is so much different. You gotta be patient. Sit at Walmart and wait for the orders to hit you. Shop orders are the best
the 45 min mark is curbside round robins sent just to you if i remember if you near the store you get a round robin if i remember
I feel like you are experiencing exactly what I was experiencing the day I first got the Spark App! I was like WTF?!
I pick and choose, and never do more than 3 orders because i can bust out two orders in that hour, minimum. I also dont do huge orders. I check every order before accepting them. You have a $5 incentive for each order between such and such time, which means that $15 order was actually $20. Unless im just out and about i only do orders in the time frame of my incentives so I get the extra cash. Last week I made a minimum of $110 in my 3 or so hr time frame i was out each day (I did 4 days). I would have done that $7 if you was making that $5 incentive, for 3 miles.
