They’re worrying about updating the App when they should be focusing solely on all the people taking advantage of other people’s accounts and people who are taking away from the Honest Working People.
100% agree with you. Here, the Walmart employees have begun asking to see your ID on curbsides and asking to see your order on your phone for Shop and Deliver and it has cut down on 99% of the scammers. Curbside actually checks available information now (car color, person's name, etc). I wish they did it everywhere. Sadly, even here they don't do it all the time. Really busy? Obviously they don't hold everything up. If it is slow, they do some basic verification. It has helped but scammers are still out there. I saw one on a local FB marketplace post offering their Spark delivery account for 3 weeks while he was out on vacation - $400. Like how brazen can you be?
Wal-Mart trying to save money by lowering the pay and giving drivers no choice but to accept offers one at a time so they can control all the offers on everyone while giving the best offers to the top rated drivers which I am fine with also but at the same time offers should be given to those who are the closest to Walmart
I used to think the best offers went to those with high AR and closest to Walmart till the other day. A fellow driver pulled up and parked beside me and he talked with me a minute. He got an order about 6 miles from Walmart, $45, 4 miles shop and deliver for 9 items. His AR is in the 20 to 30% range and a 4.4 customer rating. I had been sitting at that same Walmart for almost an hour and nothing. No curbsides, no shops, nothing. My AR is 85% right now with 4.9 customer rating. Now I sit at my house, turn on whatever apps I plan to deliver on at that time and work online till an order comes in. I live about 5 miles away and have seen $20+ orders coming in but once I do that I go back to Walmart and it is $12 orders again. Maybe those $20+ orders for a few miles come in when most drivers are on another order? I guess it could happen.
I see far fewer offers but I still occasionally see multiple (nothing like it was before the update). I have noticed they lowered Express Shopping and Shop and Deliver base pay to $11 now. Curbside in my area offers base pay of $7.50 (down from $8.50 before the update). Sneaky sneaky, as they didn't do that immediately like they did in many other markets. They are also stacking two shopping orders together in my market now. I know some have three stacks show up in their markets. I have seen four curbside orders together as well when before the update it was three max. Now I have started seeing four small ones. I guess they put one on either side of the car in the back seat as they require those deliveries to be separated somehow.
I don't like it. There was nothing wrong with it the way it was & I don't see why they felt the need to change it at all. And it seems like offers are paying less now.
That is something I have noticed too, along with the update, it seems the base pay, at least in my area, for curbsides has dropped to $7 (they were $8.50+). Shop and deliver base pay is still around $11 to $11.50 (I have two markets near me and that is the base for each).

It seems like only one offer comes in at a time now. When before I had the option to choose from like 8 offers
