Shopped 'Til I Dropped

[@stephaniep804]

We have a dedicated Spark lane now. It’s great especially when they are busy.

[@TheJK89]

Closing in on 10k Chuck!

[@KathleenBona-bd9jm]

I always enjoy your commentary while shopping 😂

[@bigkarl3143]

I made $125 in 4 hours and 26 minutes on doordash and went home I didn't wanna deal with the heat anymore 🥵

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Decent money. The exact same hourly rate as me today.

[@thecan2846]

I hear ya! I dash in Canada and it was a blistering 55 degrees fahrenheit today😅

[@GrandmaKaren-p5b]

I made 47 in 1 1/2 active but took 3 hours to actually make it but during that 3 hours I did a lot of errands so not wasted time. I wish I could work a solid 3 hours every day

[@tonystark3320]

Remember to double the miles. If you have to drive that far out to deliver you have to drive that far to get back. $0.65 cost per mile.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Totally true for Spark. Unless it's your last order of the day.

[@Nebraskagal]

Curious how you find the items so quick in the store did they give you the shelf number

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Yes they do. Spark gives us numbers that guide us to the spot on the shelf.

[@Digital_Nomad_Media]

When passing thru town #diginomad will keep in mind......that this dude will do ANYTHING for 24 bucks 🤣 ✌️🤠 Go West Young Man!

[@RideAlongWithJess]

Fun fact - Walmart + members get one free express delivery this week so there should be a lot of express shopping orders.

[@honeybadger1847]

I just received one! 11:12, placed order (9 items from deli and bakery) 11:13, Krystal began shopping 11:16, Krystal checking out 11:20, Krystal on the way 11:25, Delivery complete I met driver at door because I wanted to interview her. Krystal was Arturo!! We talked about $$$, bots, dirty stacking. He had to hurry back to Walmart (0.9 miles away) because he can only take one order at a time. I gave him an extra $10 for interview. EDIT: Spanish is my native language

[@ericberry6557]

I had heard that spark was strict.on the order in which items were shopped and they would give u alerts if time was too long and items were cold. Do u encounter that? I see u doing cool stuff and then non cool stuff

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

I usually shop the items in the order spark suggests which is often cold stuff first 🤷

[@ericberry6557]

@@DashingAcrossAmerica hmmmmmmm I wonder why I have heard others say that spark sends them alerts about time and shopping certain things first

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

@@ericberry6557 It seems to me that once the driver takes possession of the first cold item spark starts a 90-minute timer for delivery

[@jarodmccloud7481]

11:00 pop tarts are so obnoxious to shop for. There are like 4 different flavors that appear to be the same until you essentially read the fine print!

[@billpryor2832]

Chuck what happened to having to keep your running total on Door Dash above 100? Didn't you have several orders falling off in the last few days? Either way nice video

[@JanRaz1955]

Watch your speed chuck 😂 don’t want a ticket..don’t know the speed limits in Ga anymore..mine here out west 75 😊

[@milesj179]

And don’t forget, 40 miles per gallon ⛽️ in the Honda Fit. 😁

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

That's right!

[@jayson8372]

Shampooing a cat sounds like a recipe for disaster.

[@oadams5834]

I went to Kingsland/St.Mary’s this morning to get gas - looked for you but didn’t see you… maybe next time.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

That's funny because my first delivery this morning was to Yulee. We probably passed each other on I-95

[@bigkarl3143]

Haven't seen any doordash orders recently hope ya don't lose that "platinum" status chuck

[@dustinpayton4612]

Fuck DoorDash lol

[@HowardMcKitty]

It's like I can have a great day on all the apps and then ruin it by turning on doordash😊

[@HowardMcKitty]

I think Pedro is right

[@Brandonsbites]

No doordash today???

[@benjaminhayes5032]

Solid video today Chuck. Out of genuine curiosity,based on the recent filming at Starbucks controversy, how are you able to record in Walmart for Spark shopping orders? I know Walmart is normally very strict with the policy, like Starbucks, and doesn’t hesitate to escalate to a ban from the store if caught filming inside.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

For some reason I have been scolded for filming in the pickup area but not in the store.

[@Brandonsbites]

Ya I know a few people got deactivated on Spark for it but idk

[@Brandonsbites]

All these store wanna tell people what they can’t do but film u all day long

[@cathy3546]

Looks like it rained. Roads look wet.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Yeah I think Kingsland got some rain.

[@oliviajohnston7216]

That will be a well groomed kitty!😹😻

[@honeybadger1847]

I must live in a super trashy area, lol. You can’t go three miles without running into a Walmart.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

I love Walmart. I hate Starbucks.

[@GrandmaKaren-p5b]

Yesterday the restaurant handed me a wrong order no receipt on bag so I wouldn’t have known the customer called to let me know. She didn’t order wings. Just fries and soda I told her to call DD. I also spoke with restaurant yes her order still there. I was going to take it to her but was already across town Anyway the restaurant said they never got a notification about this So I looked at the menu. The customer actually got most of their original order but about $30 extra food don’t think she complained to DD. Haven’t seen anything come up

[@jerrodg938]

Hey Chuck. You don't have a Walmart associate check your cart?

[@Brandonsbites]

It’s random not all the time

[@rachmunshine9474]

I had to watch this in the middle of what I was watching because I have to make sure you didn’t literally fall! Based on the title lol

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

LOL no falls

[@ladybug123212]

I think you have a good voice for voice acting.

[@DyLemmaOG]

18 miles is literally insane More than a gallon of gas and $3.60 in depreciation!

[@sheilacaine]

I enjoyed it.

[@tska84]

Drop it! It’s not 18 miles it’s 40 miles unless you plan on not driving back, plus you gotta add the miles to get to Walmart

[@jasons.1412]

What's that around your neck?

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Magnet for the GoPro

[@jasons.1412]

Oh okay just curious great videos chuck stay safe out there God bless

Hey Chuck! Matt King is my brother. Is it true what he just told me?

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Yep

[@Chrisking-kw4ub]

@@DashingAcrossAmerica that’s wrong. I will leave it at that!

[@Judi-lm2fj]

18 miles is a lot of miles. Especially with gas prices. They are only paying u $24 dollars.

[@rachmunshine9474]

And that’s before the shopping. I turned down 975 for four items at Dollar General for 5.4 miles each way. I consider all trips round-trip because they usually take me out of my zone and I really can’t look at the phone when I’m driving unless I’m so unlike back roads where I can pull over. So I can deposit till I get back to a Restaurant area. I’ll probably lose a lot of good orders that way, but thank God, I don’t have a mortgage to pay. I have a lot of other things to come up with, but that’s a whole Nother story. I let my health insurance lapse by accident. So I’m having to stretch meds etc. Hopefully it will be back any day.

[@rachmunshine9474]

Unless I am still on back roads where I can pull over. And I tend to pause not whatever that says until I’m back to the restaurant areas.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Yeah it wasn't a great order.

[@jerrodg938]

Walmart yearly membership gives customers free delivery. So it's that reason tips are poorly given 😕

[@vivianminney586]

It is the opposite to me. I have the free delivery and I give big tips because delivery is free.

[@jerrodg938]

@@vivianminney586 if only more customers were like you

[@honeybadger1847]

I pay $100/yr for Walmart+. Shop and deliver is $20, so I rarely use it. (About twice a year, Walmart offers free express delivery; I used it today for silly things.) I live 0.9 miles away from Walmart. For curbside pickup orders, I tip $15 on the app, more at the door for great service (no dirty stacking, following delivery instructions, etc.).

[@rachmunshine9474]

I mean, they must know how far away they are, but I think they think the drivers get paid better.

[@rachmunshine9474]

And I think most tip on the amount of items, if anything versus like miles unless they have dashed, etc. themselves or know somebody who has who has schooled them.

[@DashingAcrossAmerica]

Or possibly don't even realize that we drive our own cars.

[@honeybadger1847]

@@pepperpepperpepper I’m one of the people who order online. I’m disabled and home bound with progressive illnesses. I have PERS-D and 401K income. I’ve been out of my home twice since September. I haven’t shopped for myself since March of 2020. My mother was a career waitress, so that informs both my tipping and ordering habits. I’m also an immigrant-an emigrant, really-and a political creature, so I’m sensitive to exploitation issues or at least I try to be. I ordered nine items, all deli and bakery, this morning from Walmart (please don’t @ me for Walmart; I KNOW) 0.9 miles away. I placed the order at 11:12 and it was delivered at 11:25. I tipped $15 on the app. I met the driver at the door, determined he was Colombian, and gave him an additional $10 for answering some questions about pay and work. Walmart paid him only $10 for my order. So that’s my customer profile.

Hey Chuck , that close to home was just too tempting huh . I get that way whenever I pass a waffle house ! Y'all have a good night .

What are you thinking

[@HowardMcKitty]

Doordash is like the end of my last marriage. Have a great day come home and be miserable.

[@laurafratoni7931]

Active time factored to the total earnings is not actually what you’re making! So you’re making $25 an hour you haven’t factored in any of your time going back or the amazing amount of depreciation to our value of our vehicles because of mileage or repairs or gas!and then Taxes.

[@keitheley5448]

😎🛒🚦🛣️💰👍

[@Mamasreflections]

Sometimes customers pick a further away walmart over another if they are out of an item they want. The further away store might have it in stock. I have done that before when ordering my groceries.

[@vivianminney586]

My Walmart will not let me order at another store. They set me at the closest store, and if I try to order at a different store, it will let me know that delivery is set at that one store.

[@Mamasreflections]

Weird I have 3 I can choose from one is 6 miles, one is 8 miles, the other is 35 miles.
