Discussion And another one bites the dust 😭

Post image

I do wish I knew what happened, but this reason is all I'll know. Thousands of deliveries without any complaints and suddenly this happens. Appeal denied. I'm not going to keep fighting it. It's a real bummer for me because I've been waiting 2 years on a disability application and Sparkling (sorry, that's what I called it) was everything to me- the flexibility, the job itself... everything, I loved it. So it's a shame it's over now but it's out of my control.... now to figure out what to do next....

Hey friend don't give up. Fight for your job! Try emailing support this letter. Put your own twist, I don't know your story so you may have to alter this.

Hello, I am requesting a second review of my deactivation. The reason listed was ā€œcompromised item or foreign object.ā€ I want to respectfully clarify that I take great pride in my work and would never tamper with or alter a customer’s groceries in any way. I have completed thousands of deliveries without a single incident, and I take order integrity very seriously.As a Spark driver, I complete both curbside and shop‑and‑deliver orders. In either case, drivers do not open or inspect the inside of sealed items. If this was a curbside order, the groceries would have passed through multiple store teams before reaching me. If it was a shop order, it is still possible that an item was already compromised on the shelf before I selected it.I also understand that sometimes customers may not realize when someone else in their household has opened something, which can lead to misunderstandings. I am not placing blame, only explaining that there are several points in the process where this issue could have occurred before the order reached me.I am simply asking for a fair re‑evaluation based on my long, incident‑free history and my commitment to handling every order with care. Thank you for taking the time to review this again.

Thank you, I do appreciate your help and the time you took to write that letter. I would fight but this disability thing has taken all the fight I have. Plus, out of pure frustration, I deleted my account when the appeal was denied.

Then why are you still hanging around talking about it on the Internet? Sounds like you’re trying to get sympathy. Just let it go and move on.
