A customer I deliver to frequently told me a scary story recently. The customer always requires a signature as she hates things put on the ground. She placed an express order and tried to contact driver during the shop about not substituting a specific item if not in stock. Didn’t get a reply. When they delivered, they never knocked on the door or rang doorbell. As she was wondering where her items were, she had her daughter look outside to find all items left at her door (remember she is always a signature required and has delivery notes stating to ask for signature and not leave things on the ground). She pulled the tip and contacted Walmart as she was upset. The next day, she had a large square of duct tape on her front door with a note written in red marker stating “thanks for removing the tip. I won’t be back again”. So it was pretty clear who left that. Scary they went back to her home.

They also don’t have license or insurance in most states.

Some of the security risks in my home market are non background checked helpers and passengers that help with delivery of Walmart Spark orders Even if they don't steal, or commit other crimes of opportunity during deliveries, they can case out residences, and businesses for future crimes Many don't own vehicles, they don't have driver's licenses, and can't pass background checks, so they only work as helpers Others limit the type of documented income they receive as they're receiving disability benefits, welfare, or their incomes will disqualify others they live with from receiving benefits These types typically avoid curbside deliveries, or being seen as passengers, and helpers on curbside deliveries, mostly sticking to shopping orders where they're not seen by Walmart workers, or they're picked up by Spark drivers after they've loaded curbside deliveries These helpers are effectively free subcontractors, and they make shopping, bagging, loading and delivery faster, so Walmart isn't in a rush to do anything about them There would have to be numerous tragic consequences, many customers complaining, and cancelling services, and negative press coverage on very large scale for Walmart to take action Most deliveries are non contact, no signature required, customers are way too trusting, and most are clueless about these issues

Here's a question though. On my Spark app I am now getting asked like once a week to revalidate my face mapped to the account with selfies. How can they cheat the system and pass the selfie test? The person tied to the account is supposed to be vetted.

With the scammers passing phones around willy nilly it seems like some of them likely have never been vetted by Walmart. There could be who knows who with whatever criminal record delivering the groceries and having access to customers' addresses. The vetting doesn't guarantee anything, but as a customer I would surely rather have someone Walmart has vetted and knows their information delivering to me rather than their friend or cousin who just got out of county using their account and having my info.

They are here in the part of Michigan that I work. Most of them DO NOT have drivers license so they are breaking the law again. I tell people when I see them if someone delivers the groceries that doesn't match the info on app call walmart and complain. I have no problem with people who follow the rules but they broke the law coming into country and continue breaking the law once they are here.

Contact your representative. Political action needs to be taken to force all these gig apps to fix the issue.

Your thoughts where the liability ends for Walmart ? Spoiled products ect

Why is your 20 year old adult son living at home and only working a few hours a week doing doordash? Is there anything preventing him from working full-time or going to school? If not why enable him?

Why do you care what other drivers are doing? Its none of your business.

I can feel the racist vibes in your voice. Its there guys. Hes just careful how hes wording it all.
