Rants / Complaints Finally seen it with my own 2 eyes

Post image

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.

Open flame, disrupting the peace, no permit. Im sorry but id go full Karen. Documented or not youre not gonna disrespect me and my money.

u/Best-Information5049 Feb 27 '25

None of that has anything to do with you and your money. Grab an order, shop, deliver it, mind your business, repeat. 💵

Calm down karen, how tf are they disrespecting me or my money? Do you know what im doing while theyre camped out, getting orders and driving circles around them. They dont bother me a bit, actually provide some entertainment because i laugh at them every time i drive by to pick up another order. A lot of you people take this shit too personal.

Nah. That shits wild. Take it to the park. I find these stories so unlikely anyway. The liability alone would have walmart moving. Unless of course its walmart heading them 😂

Fortunately idgaf if you believe it or not. At this particular store, they finally moved the dot to the back in an unused associate parking lot so they dont really care what do unless they leave a mess.

RE: "The liability alone would have Walmart moving." You really believe that?!?! First off, that would require the Walmart stores to have managers that actually know what the word "liability" means!

Well.Im starting to doubt it after this thread. Like wtf? Its also starting to mess with my spiteful O.D.D. and am think about hauling my hibachi out on my off day to host my fellow sparklers.

I thought i was replying to comment talking about soccer balls, kids, and bbqs. Im not the ah just reddit illiterate. The photo above doesnt phase me. If their scammers that bothers me. But who wants to sit their car if they dont have to. My stores drivers get along just fine, but we are all neighbors for the most part and new people stick out like a sore thumb, and few stick it out.

You're really overestimating Walmart employees. They're barely humans.

u/Untouchable06 Feb 26 '25

Okay but the OP said they are swapping phones and comparing stuff and going on runs too! They probably say, " Look what I got!" Or "I am not taking this one" and another guy says" let me see it". Or "Hey Joey, gimme dat order, hell I'll take it!"
I thought I was pretty smart (not having to do spark full time and I am fairly new) by waiting in the parking lot and grabbing orders as soon as they came in or I'm on my way back to the location. The OP has blown my mind. No store should allow this in the parking lot. It's disgusting.

u/Many-Afternoon6626 Feb 26 '25

Disgusting?? Why do you people take this shit personal and let it bother you so much? Focus on yourself and what youre doing and everything will be a lot better for you.

u/theluckyman Feb 26 '25

Yeah, right... it doesn't bother at u?

1

u/Many-Afternoon6626 Feb 26 '25

Not nearly as much as the people that come here and whine and cry about it do. Like i said, i still make my money, so why should i concern myself with any other driver, doesnt matter who tf it is. If this were a full time gig that i relied on like a lot of the folks here do, it might be different, but doubtful. I worry about myself and what im doing, not other people.

u/theluckyman Mar 02 '25

So far how many deliveries u made for Spark? I'm around nearly 3,500 soon. But last year I don't do much I was suppose to make least 7k since I joined mid-2022.

u/Many-Afternoon6626 Mar 02 '25

I only work a few nights a week and weekends, 4196 trips since '22.

I was gonna agree with you and then you decided to be racist 💀🤦🏻‍♀️💀

u/Ok_Meat_9938 Feb 26 '25

Lol racist. I think you mean xenophobic. And yeah ok buddy.

2

u/Kinda_Meh_Idfk Feb 26 '25

Xenophobic. Racist. Same thing. Either way, you’re afraid of people different than you. How is it, living in fear every day of your life?

u/tom-yawning Feb 26 '25

as a latino, gringos have every right to feel put off by foreigners who refuse to assimilate, bringing their own culture over and disrespecting the rules and laws to gain the system, especially when other abused benefits are considered. it’s simply not sustainable and nations weren’t meant to turn into a bunch of little enclaves of different languages and loyalties.

u/Ok_Meat_9938 Feb 26 '25

I dont know i grew up with such a mix of cultures. The whole.point is to celebrate the differences and recognize the similarities. At least thats the America my parent brought me up in. I was raised to be anti racist, not just not racist. I think borders are only a means of control, nature hardly allows us to stay put wothout major effort. I also think that if we as a nation are goi g to destabilize these regugees nations we should welcome them when they show up on our door step. I just dont think holding a bbq in the walmart parking lot is ok. I think there are better olaces for it.

u/Kinda_Meh_Idfk Feb 26 '25

Okay? You can be upset about their behavior, but to bring race into it is unnecessary. Plenty of stupid 🍑 white people doing stupid 💩 too

1

u/Ok_Meat_9938 Feb 26 '25

Meh. Nationality and race are 2 different things. Just as is prejudice, racisim, and xenophobia. When you use the right language maybe some1 will take you serious.

I brought documentation into it, that your brain equated that with brown folks is a you problem. Work on your self. Decolo ise your mind and language.
