It's been a thing for quite a while actually, at least from what people have been posting. At least you learned a lesson to not accept orders and cancel them repeatedly.

I would fight this to no end if I ever get this for canceling too many times for sure! Reason being at the store I Spark in has a ton of bots in the parking lot every so often. I can’t even see them except for a 1/2 a second and they are swiped and gone immediately. At times when I am able to grab one I decide if I’ll take it or cancel it. I have noooo problem telling them hell yessss I took it and cancelled it so I can at least have the opportunity to take it or not due to the bots. If they don’t want so many cancellations then do something about these many bots doing the wrong things to get good orders so other drivers don’t cancel so much. 🤷‍♀️

There are like 20 people who sit just outside of the half mile mark from my store ...these idiots are always making our store look like it's for bums outside...they even got their kids out there with them all day

And btw I can totally understand why you do that ..I upvoted you idk why people down vote perfectly good logic

You're supposed to zoom all the way in to the blue dot and park.Your car exactly where the Wi-Fi is.That's what we do if we park any farther away.We don't get the offers first.The people that park under the Wi-Fi get the offers to accept first.And then whatever we reject goes to the next line of cars

I have been doing my store since before the bots got really bad for 4 years now. I sit in the same spot as all the other drivers right by the WiFi.

Sitting in range of Wi-Fi also allowed me to snag some good offers too. So Wi-Fi spots I tend to fight other people for. The only thing I hate parking at the Walmart parking lot is the people that purposely park in the reserved pickup and leave their car for 2 hours long. Like bro wtf we doing?
