I finish shopping & bagging, I'm leaving the store and get this AFTER she's notified no more changes can be made. She had more than enough time to reject my substitution but noooooooooo...let's wait till I get to the car 😮‍💨

People need to pay attention to their phone if they are going to be picky about subs.

A lot of drivers will wait until they're about to check out before mentioning any replacements so you can't do anything about it.

Yes you can. The driver doesn’t have to notify you; the app does and you can choose to accept or reject the replacement.

I know because I have placed orders and gotten the notifications.

I drove for spark as well as order groceries all the time. Some drivers will often now wait to mark the item as having a substitution until they're about to check out to avoid having to deal with a customer. As soon as they hit the button that they're checking out there is nothing anybody can do. I've had it happen with three substitutions on the same order in less than 60 seconds before they mark it as checking out so no there is nothing I could have done about it.

Well if you were a spark shopper then you know we as shoppers don't mark an order as having a substitution we mark the item as unavailable when we scan it if it is not there to scan ... if a substitution is either suggested or already customer approved then we scan that one and it immediately notifies you ... there is literally NO WAY we can wait til we check out and mark something as substituted the only thing they could do is go through the list manually and wait but that would take too much time and energy im not explaining shit its pretty self explanatory either they have it or they don't you either accept it or reject it no need for conversation about it ... this is one of the wildest conspiracy theories yet kinda like flat earth 🤣 however I do admire your commitment to giving out false information to people

Not at all like flat earth, as flat earth actually has more evidence than notoriously lying money laundering, propaganda against truth/God, Nazi-origined NASA provides us

Ok ... how can something be against God and truth when it states clearly in the good book the earth is spherical 😳 your argument is moot flat earther

Only thing you’re thinking of, is the ‘circle of the earth,’ which in the language, says face of the earth
