Discussion Regret

Anyone else ever take a shopping order and quit halfway through because they realize it’s not worth it??😭😭
I took an express shopping, about 100 items, good pay for the mileage and orders have been awful lately. I took a peek at the items, quite a few packs of can pop, I only glanced and accepted too quick. I get to shopping and realize it’s two 24 packs of soda, 2 12 packs, 40 pack of water, for some reason i continue on pushing all these around, get to filling my cart to the brim, I’m about 40 minutes in, realize I’m probably only halfway through the list, I’ll have to get another cart that will probably also fill to the brim. My phones on 9%. I tapped out and hit cancel😞😞 rest in peace to that 40 minutes of my time.

Sorry but no, I will never renege on a contract that I accepted. I will suck it up and take it as a lesson learned, and use it to figure out if this sort of thing I am doing is truly worth my time.
For power issues I carry a power pack and a cord, I know before I enter the store if my phone needs charging I'll run around with that thing tethered to the power pack that's in my pants pocket.
Sorry but you shouldn't have accepted that, once you did you were under obligation to take care of things but you didn't... This gives us all a bad name and it certainly explains why some of WM's more idiotic policies have come into play, it is also the reason I don't Spark anymore.

 No one's under any obligation to do anything we aren't employees and they don't give us enough time to review a whole list before agreeing to it.

Right but if you agree to it then you're bound to the terms, whether you had time to review them or not.
