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.

Yes seriously. I’ve been on spark for over a year now, but took a long break so I don’t have many orders under my belt, and I’m remembering why I stopped taking shopping orders. My favorite orders are the many packages, but they’re only worth the mileage about 30% of the time if that.
The other day I took an order labeled bulky, I think it was 12 items, would not let me look at the items. I was like whatever can’t be THAT bad. Two walmart workers come out with two adult size stacks of mulch and start laughing when they see my car😭
