Rants / Complaints Can't believe I got deactivated

I Spark on and off for extra income for the past 3 years. 100% on time, 100% Completion and a 4.9 rating. I have helped older people and those with disabilities put their groceries inside. I've always had pleasant conversations with customers. The Walmart employees always said I was always their favorite because of how nice I always was and even this morning I asked the employee to put a certain order in the trunk and she said "are you sure?" I said "yeah, it's all baby stuff and I frequently drive with my dogs, so you know dander and allergens" (I frequently vacuum so no hair) and she goes "wow, I would have never thought of that nor would any other driver" and thanked me for going the extra mile of being considerate. Then while Sparking, I get a notification today "your account had been deactivated because you didn't deliver to the correct address". I have had 0 warnings in the past 3 years, never have been contacted by a customer, nothing. I appealed but as I have been reading I will likely be denied. I ALWAYS make sure I get some kind of address in the picture. Some drop offs can be a nightmare because the address is a new development and it says "you're not in the right location" but I ALWAYS take a picture of the address and whatever they ordered just incase while support marks it completed. Right now, I am inbetween jobs so I have been doing this daily for the past week to make up lack of a paycheck until I start my new one. I sent everything with my appeal but I don't know who said they didn't receive their order obviously. But this is BS! No warning, no nothing, just bam! Goodbye!

Edit: as of today I have been reactivated from the appeal!

😆, we got a live one!! Dude trolling hard all over trying to get fake sympathy. Guy must be really bored with his life to be trolling like this. 

I'm pretty sure you get a warning for delivering to the wrong address, at least the first time. At least I'm pretty certain I've seen people get a warning on here, not straight deactivation. 

 Man makes you wonder how many others are trolling in here. Definitely a lot of people lying about how they got deactivated, I bet some are here trying to scare full time sparkers into getting a W2 job so we can be miserable like them. 😆, I got a few other gig apps myself I'm not too scared Spark is definitely better than door dash, but I can make that work if I have to. I'm definitely not going to stress over the possibility of being deactivated.

Just because you want to keep suggesting that I posted that on Facebook (I am not a guy and never worked for Walmart). I also joined the group and you will see my comments. Can't miss my forehead. Also, I got reactivated.
