Walmart doesn't care.

Thank you so much for your straight forward approach. Love your channel...keep up the good work.

So true! I quit a full-time job to do gig work full-time. It lasted for one year. I have been back to a W2 job since last October. And I am happy that I DO NOT have to chase the $$ every day and put that wear & tear on my car. I do other gig work from home part-time. I would not recommend counting on Spark full-time. It has become very sad!

It happening to me right now. Nobody is able to tell what is the a reason while I clearly see none. So sad they can just cut drivers like that.

I got deactivated for no reason! Noone has even give me a reason why! I did appeal no answer!my metro was high!

I got deactivated because a customer I shopped and delivered for claimed I consumed all or part of their items. Thankfully I wear a body cam and i drive with 2 dash cams so I mentioned this in my appeal. They told me 5-10 business days for a response. Hoping that it works in my favor, it took me years to finally be hired. I was only delivering 1 month. I hope that the lying customer gets what they deserve. They are lucky I’m not one to seek revenge.

In California, deactivating mass amounts of drivers releases Walmart's obligation to pay the health care stipend.

I Was a 4.8 star driver with Spark and I was deactivated for no reason. I appealed, and it's been a month with no response.

You’re on point. I did Spark 12 hours a day for 1 year and I was deactivated today. For no apparent reason. So I’m hoping I’ll be appealed and accepted. I’ve done 1900 deliveries and I’m a 4.7 rated.

I drove spark for a while. It is tough to fight for a job that doesn't pay a lot. The freedom and flexibility is good but overall pay vs gas and vehicle maintenance is kind of a wash.

Whats really messed up is when a company makes you sign a no competition clause so that you can only work for them and then they manipulate your earnings.

Thank God I'm still delivering for Walmart spark. Prayers for everyone out there 🙏

It just happened to me two days ago from no apparent reason

Ive been a contractor for a few companies and have seen this pattern before. Its a boom and bust cycle. Its one of the reasons that you have to diversify. Not just among apps but between jobs in general. They dont want worker to start feeling entitled. They just knock the pieces off the board game and reset the game with new rules in their favor leaving the other players to scramble and work against each other. Its not right but it is what it is. You just have to exploit the opportunity as best as you can knowing that at some point your going to have to change with the times.

I don’t do Spark Driver because I used to work in Walmart online grocery and I know how slow the process is. So I know everything is like behind the scenes..

Great advice I'm going through this exactly. Jus came off a 1000 week. Deactivated out of nowhere

What needs to happen is ALL SPARK drivers need to come together & start a driver's union or some type of representation for drivers ! SPARK is to slow or don't respond quick enough to driver issues. This has to STOP ! who is the CEO of SPARK anyway ?? I can never get a top representative of SPARK. I have been banned from store #1083 in Jacksonville & they called the Sheriff on me & lied 3 different times so now If I come back on property I am trespassing & can be arrested all for doing my job !! Are you ready to hear why I am banned ? as of Toni team leader it's because I got out of my car !!! Yes I have to get out of my car to open my hatchback for them because its broken. This is the ridiculousness of what is going on all while people & illegals are working with multiple ID's using bots to steal orders, threating other drivers that this is their territory, Store mangers are stealing & delivering orders ( against SPARK policies Walmart employees are NOT allowed to work for SPARK) I am pissed !! because I have done nothing wrong or against policies & now I suffer in loss of earnings. The Walmart stores should not have this much power ! because it leads to abuse as I have just explained. This all started on 4/12/24 & as of 5/6/24 nothing has been resolved.

Spark did that to me last March trying to say my insurance was falsified. Took me 3 months to get reactivated. It was stupid. I keep a daily log of deliveries and proof even down to text messages to customer before a return.

We must take there shit because idk how else il going to pay my bills

i got a speeding ticket last August & i wasnt delivering. my first ticket in 25 yrs. i got deactivated & tried to appeal multiple times to plead my case. i had high ratings with over 900 Spark deliveries. they dont give a damn. however, they let false drivers to use bots & other peoples accounts with multiple phones per driver which they still have yet to get under control. bs in spades.

Man this is the best video on RU-vid right now lol Walmart don't care about hard working drivers

February 23rd, they claimed I was deactivated for interfering with or manipulating the apps functionality. I appealed and straight asked for proof, which there is none. They claimed that due to driver privacy, which is me, they can't share what they've found.

That's why Walmart deals with us as independent contractors. They can get rid of any of us on a whim, and there's little to nothing legally we can do about it. They can always find other drivers. That's the price we pay for the freedom and flexibility of gig work.

I was deactivated just the other day, i had to update my car insurance, i was sending them pictures for 4 days and they kept rejecting the images, so i called them and they fix it., then i went to log on and was deactivated. Anyways sick of delivering other people's groceries, with the 2 oranges, and the app sending me to one side of the then to another then back to first side i was just at. Considering it was blessing, my car is thankfully too it gets a break from speed bumps and pot holes and all though miles and oil changes. I did three oil changes in a month.

My sister was approved by Spark so she started delivering and did so for 1 day. Her account was deactivated the next day. She still has no answers as to why. She didn't even have time to do anything wrong and was deactivated.

Spark did that to me last March trying to say my insurance was falsified. Took me 3 months to get reactivated. It was stupid.

What if it was for invalid driver license? And get the valid license back ?

COVID era is over and many people are enjoying going out themselves and dining out and shopping. Like the old days. Not only that it is too expensive to order stuff online and then a tip on top of that. Sad but true. It should only be a side gig and part-time going forward.

Not to mention that Spark Driver services were hot garbage, underpaid, and putting out more restrictions like for example they cannot load their bags when they have a passenger in the car, and telling them to leave and only the driver can take all three deliveries to themselves. BS, unfair, and no wonder DoorDash, GrubHub, and UberEats have better services and pay than the unreliable services made by Walmart.

Hey John - Just curious if you have done any gig work for Amazon Flex. I assume you may not have any Amazon Flex distribution in your area as I have not noticed any videos from you on them. Have a great weekend!

I been deactivated for almost two months i went threw the telephone arbitration interview and after i did that arbitration told me its not there call So i ended up getting a text from walmart saying After carefully reviewing your appeals and the extra information you provided, our decision firmly stands that your account will remain deactivated. The information does not support a reactivation of your account under the Terms of Use. The decision will remain in place unless new information can be provided in support of your appeal.

People are saying to reapply but how is that possible? You can get a different phone number and use a different email but your background check requires information that you cannot change.

You broke this down very well. Spark deactivated me this past December. Tried one appeal it was denied. Like you said had to swallow the L and find new ways.

I had to verify my identity soon as i did i was deactivated instantly, am i a victim???

Some companies just make your job so hard that you quit on your own. Attrition

The ones with fake accounts are probably skating I bet.

If they dont reactivate me in filing a class action suit and i have downloaded all emails and responses that have taken place before and up to the time and day they deactivated me

I got denied just signing up. I guess I had one ticket hanging on for one more year. Now that it is all cleared up I have been trying to figure out my login info. and went through I do not know how many emails and phone calls. Finally today the email sent me the email I signed up with, which is old and I do not have access to, and also informed me I would not be able to drive on their platform and wishes me well on my future endeavors??? hehehe what?? So I sent one back to get the phone number updated at least so that I can get the password changed and maybe log in. At that point, I could maybe try an appeal process if there is one there?

Subbed!!!❤

I been deactivated cant here anything from them at all

I guess they can Deactivate the Fake Accounts of the Illegal Scammers.. but in actuality they don't even know who they really are.. as in their real names? 🤔 Crazy Times...thx for the Vid..

Can you apply for a new account with the same driving license ?

2 big deactivation reasons: 1) don't deliver to the wrong address- if a customer turns you in and the photos shows the wrong house youre done. 2) Don't make deliveries if you have your infant/toddler in a car seat- associates are told to turn you in if they dispense to someone with kids in car seats

Ha I know the pain. I got deactivated on roadie the other day over a return. Tried to say I didn't call them I'm like you can't make a return unless you call the app won't let you otherwise. Then tried to say I made a return by just riding by the house. I told them bs you can't make a return unless you want 5 minutes at least. Just want a reason to let ppl go smh.

I've been deactivated since the end of October. Still haven't received anything back with any of my appeals.

I have been deactivated even with all green stats spark is a joke

Apparently they don't deactivate for inactivity. I haven't driven in over a year. I just updated my documentation and was ready to go in 5 min. Should be interesting to see what's changed.

Just deactivated me right after my One card got hacked and I changed phone numbers

The customers are very rude as well!!

Please anyone share if anyone got reactivated

The managers have told the drivers they don't care about Bots they just care about orders being delivered😅 another thing people don't understand a store cannot deactivate you it has to come from spark they are separate😅 that's what I've been told from managers in Walmart

Got deactivated for doing a facial recognition in Mexico city Mexico while on vacation. It's crazy

The way the metrics are set up, acceptance rate, on time arrival etc… it seems to me they want you committed to a full time driver. In my zone, unless you are in the Walmart parking lot you won’t get an order that’s decent. The only orders they send when one the road r the ones rejected by everyone else. 🤷‍♂️

It happen to me sadly. For supposedly manipulating the intended functionality of the app.

What's going on? Why is Walmart deactivating so many Spark drivers? It's been a very lucrative side gig for everyone.

did they keep all of your money when you got deactivated

I just got deactivated I don’t do nothing wrong 😢

Is it walmart or is it DDI (doordash)?

Interesting. I haven't driven for almost a month, and today I got the best incentive ever to do 5 deliveries and Walmart will cover the difference up to $100. Glad I have my retirement. I'm pretty much moving on to other things.

Fuck them sorry to say that.Deactivated for no reason really? They have people scamming ect…but yet some how they still getting away with it.Glad this isnt my full time job…people dont quit your full time job for this shit.Sorry but you see how they treat they’re driver is insane lol

I got deactivated yesterday for no reason I did apeal hope they reactivated me again

Funny

So can u ever get back on

Most of the deactivations are probably valid. Spark does not have contract violations the way doordash does but you best believe they're tracking your mistakes. Just because you do not hear about them does not mean its not happening in the background. Do your best to make as few mistakes as possible and you should be good.
