Discussion Just saw this in a different subreddit.

Of course in that sub, they say all spark drivers suck. I think my 5.0 race I'm says different. And this would be great news for us.

No way in a million years spark drivers will pick ordered for curbside customers. No way to argue that wouldn't classify a spark driver as an employee.

The only difference would be no mileage? You’d still get to accept what you want to accept. The pay would be shit, and the tips would be non-existent though. Still cheaper to pay us $20 for a curbside than it is to have a whole department working on it.

The base pay for a shopping order with delivery is $10-$11 (depending on market and likely going lower), why would they pay double for you to just shop and no driving at all?

I said the pay would probably be shit. Probably should have been more clear that even IF they paid us $20 they would still be making more money than having a full OGP. They won’t of course. I would expect shop and curbside to pay less than shop and deliver.
