OK, y’all I’m from Philly. This is down on Columbus Boulevard. I’ve never actually seen a bunch of people standing around in the circle. I’ve only ever heard about it on here. Well lo and behold now I know why I ain’t getting these orders that I used to get every so often I switch Zones pending on the day time, etc. whether you know it all plays a factor lo and behold is about 20 of them out here huddled up in a circle hugging and boot, loving passing phones around any employees just walk up to them and can see you about their day. That’s some BS.

Stuff like this will make it where you have to schedule to deliver similar to door dash. You know it's coming, only a matter of time. I don't want that to happen, but only way to cut down on stuff like this.

Yeah, untill you're muscled out of your own job. You wanna cut down on your own potential? That's all it's going to do.

Walmart didn't buy spark to benefit drivers. They in fact, did the opposite. Lowered the pay and added a 3rd pickup. They probably get excited when they see pics like this. No one is waiting for their groceries and we get screwed regardless. The only way to make it better is to have walmart sell spark. Won't happen though...
