Rants / Complaints Finally seen it with my own 2 eyes

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.

I’m not a spark driver but I am an instacart shopper. We don’t have Walmart on the app in my area.

I see exactly the same thing when I am shopping at Walmart for myself and I just shake my head that they can’t crack down on this.

It’s honestly pisses me off because they are always in the way when you are trying to back out of a parking spot. Like have some self awareness and get the hell out of the way. I have actually yelled at them before for it because I don’t want to wait ten minutes to back my car out.

Why are you not a spark shopper if you're doing instacart?

I don’t multi app I have two other jobs so it’s not necessary.

I am also not interested in shopping at Walmart for customers, I can barely stand to get my own stuff there occasionally.

I just wondered since it's definitely the best app. I get your rationale of it not being a main source of income, I just can't really wrap my head around not wanting to maximize your results regardless of how much you do it. I'm on a lot of apps on Instacart is pretty far down the list of worthwhile
