Walmart Spark! (The algorithm sends you the type of orders you take)Added:
Good morning, hustlers.
It's your boy Jer the worm, and we back with another one.
Yo, right now it's 6:55 in the morning.
We up early, headed to Sam's Club to do a delivery order with Walmart Spark.
I was up early this morning, about 6:00.
Uh, I didn't turn the app on till about 6:25, 6:30. Um, I tried to wait until it got a little light outside. I hate being out so early when it's still dark. And as soon as I turned the app on, literally the first order that popped up, it was a for you offer was this $61.36 pickup order for Sam's Club.
It's supposed to be 21.2 miles.
It's supposed to take 1 hour and 17 minutes.
7:00 pickup. So I I accepted the order at about 6:30, but I was in the house. I brushed my teeth, took Smokey out to go pee and poop, and got ready to come out, and now I'm headed to Walmart.
So, we're going to be there at 7:00, exactly 7 or 7:01, and we're going to try to get this done by 8:15, 8:16, 8:17, somewhere around an hour and 15 minutes. Um, it's been a few weeks since I recorded last. I've been really busy.
had to take a college trip. My son is about to go to college. He's about to graduate high school and go to college and his top two schools are Howard and North Carolina ENT. So, we did we had to take a college visit and over the past few weeks, my son is starting to drive. So, I just been doing so much that I haven't really been able to record, but we back now.
But yeah, at the time of this recording, we on the road to 1,800 subscribers, and the channel's growing.
Like, comment, subscribe, and share the videos.
Let's get the money.
Ride with me, and let's see how the day goes.
Okay, y'all. 7:06.
Just pulled up to Sam's Club. It's very empty. There's literally nobody else here in the parking lot besides me. So, I'm not even sure if actual Sam's Club store is even open yet, but um we're here. Uh this $61 order is a great way to start the day. We just drove 6.4 4 miles from home and we're going to try to knock this off fast. The order is actually here already. It's 60 706 still and they're coming out with it.
Let's go at this packaging.
One order, two orders, three orders, four orders.
Everything is like every order is in this perfect row. I just told the lady, "Man, I appreciate you packaging. That's so good." She started laughing. That's beautiful right there. Let's get the money. Okay, y'all.
711 took us 5 minutes to load everything up.
I was actually taking my time. She brought the package out on the cart so nicely organized. Like, I literally Everything is in my car the exact same way it was on the cart. Like, everything is perfectly stacked. the boxes is perfectly square so they sit on top of each other. Yo, that means today is going to be a good day. When a day starts off like this, we get here, there's nobody here, we in and out, that means it's going to be a good day. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all.
So, it's 8:03.
We just finished our first order today for $61.
And it only took us It took us under an hour. So, I got to Sam's Club by 7:06.
When I pulled off from Sam's Club after packing the order, it was 7-Eleven and we got done at 8:03. So, that's under an hour for $61. That's very good money to start this Sunday morning. Um, 21.2 miles. So, it wasn't too bad. And actually like it was kind of weird how they routed the map out routed the mapped the route out because the last order like this drop off I just did was only like 5 minutes away from the first drop off between the first and second drop off it was like a 15minute drive and then this the middle two drop offs out of the four was only 4 minutes away. So, it was really weird how they routed this out, but um it could have been faster, but in any case, under hour for $60 is very good money. Um let's see how far away we are from Walmart.
Okay, so I'm 17 minutes and 7.3 miles away from the nearest Walmart. So, I'm going to head there, get into that high priority offer zone for that store, and try to get another banger. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all.
Be right back. Right now, it's 8:11. So, exactly 1 hour from the time I left Sam's Club with my first pickup order.
I'm exactly 4 miles away from the Walmart that I was headed to and I just accepted this $3220 pickup order.
Three drop offs, 9.7 miles, supposed to take 32 minutes.
So, this is a really good order. My first order was $60 in under an hour.
This order is $32 and it's only supposed to take about a half an hour. So, we're going to head to the store, which were 8 minutes away. Try to pick this up and knock it out as fast as possible. So, that'll put us pretty much close to $100 in about 2 hours of work, two deliveries. So, hopefully everything goes smooth with this order. We can get in and out and get it dropped off really fast. Let's go.
Okay, y'all. It's 8:20.
So, took me about 9 minutes to get to the store after I accepted the order while I was already on the way back to the store. So, I was outside the high priority offer zone, but this is still a really good order. Um, it's actually kind of crazy cuz this is a Walmart Super Center. This is probably the busiest Walmart out of all the Walmarts in the zone that I shop out of normally.
Um, for Sunday morning is kind of weird.
There's one, two, literally one, two, three, four, there's five people in the pickup and this this Walmart has like 40 close to 50 pickup spots. So, um, it's kind of weird, but I'm not going to complain because everything should go faster and it should go smoother.
Also, I will say this is the Walmart where I believe cuz a couple good orders popped up. I clicked on them and like they popped up and went away so fast like and they kept popping up and going away. This is the one where I think there's an employee or two in here that be canceling orders or something, man.
Cuz this is the only Walmart where this happens a lot. But we're not going to worry about that. We're not going to complain because we're still going to get orders and we making good money.
Let's see how long it takes for order to come out and keep it moving. Let's get the money.
>> Okay, y'all.
8:29. So, it took 9 minutes for them to bring the order out.
Um, which is actually kind of long being that it's not so busy, but it's all good.
My first order from Sam's Club, the lady who brought the order out, the order was so nice and neatly packaged, I really couldn't believe it. Like, it was beautiful, yo. But this one was like the exact opposite. Like, the dude came out, not sure if he was new or whatever.
He like, you could tell he really wasn't sure. Like, he he he was just unsure about the order. like he was like uh he was showing me his little scanner thing like, "Hey man, I'm looking for this. It says this is missing." And I'm just like, "I'm just here to pick up, bro.
Like I don't you know what I'm saying? I don't know. You got to tell me what's going on. I'm just here to pick up and go." But um in any case, he figured it out. We got packaged up and we on the road. Let's keep it moving.
Okay, y'all.
9:01.
We just finished our second pickup order of the day. Three drop offs. Was supposed to take 32 minutes, something like that. Um, so we pulled off from Walmart at 8:29. So it's 9:01. So, that's 32 minutes exactly from the time that we pulled off from the store. But, uh, I did accept that order at 8:11.
Uh, took me 9 minutes to get to the store and then 9 more minutes to pack up. So, it was 8:29 I left the store.
So, 18 minutes of drive to the store and pack time and then 32 minutes of deliver and drop off time. So, that's still not too bad for a $32 order.
We're going to go back to Walmart. Let's see. We're actually really close to Walmart. Let me see how far I am away.
So, I'm eight minutes and 3 and 1/2 miles away from Walmart. So, we're going to go back get in a high priority zone offers high priority offer zone for the Walmart, the same one we just delivered from, and try to keep it moving. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all.
It's 9:13, pretty much exactly 2 hours after I accepted my first order or after I picked up my first order. And uh we're in a high priority offer zone. I'm in the far part of the Walmart parking lot.
Um, trying to wait and see if a decent order comes up. There's a lot of orders on here actually, but I'm just being very selective and trying to make sure I get the most for my gas. Trying to pick out the best orders for the day. So, I'm going to sit here for a minute, um, browse through and see which order we're going to do here and see if we can pop up a banger while we in the high priority zone.
Let's see.
Okay, y'all.
still sitting here. Um, a lot of the orders went away. Still sitting here.
There's decent orders popping up. But, um, I did just get an alert. I guess after the last order, I must have qualified for some type of incentive. I just earned $6 for completing an incent. Earn $6 after each qualifying trip. Congratulations.
You have completed this incentive. You can expect to see $6 deposited into your account within 14 days. So, that's pretty cool. With that $6, I think that puts me at right around $100 for a total today. So, that's pretty cool.
But, um, yeah, we're still sitting here.
Um, at this exact moment, there's no offers on the on the board, but we're going to sit here for a few more minutes and see if we can't get an order. Let's go.
Okay, y'all. 9:32.
So, I've been sitting here over 15 minutes, almost 20 minutes. Um, for my Pittsburgh people who deliver in pit in like in the city, man, for the West Memphis and Walmart, let me know how y'all feel, man. I know there's somebody for sure in there canceling orders. Like, there was there's an order that still keeps popping up. It's like $46.
It keeps popping up and going away.
Like, I'll accept it and then it'll get cancelled. It got cancelled, but then as soon as I got cancelled, it keeps popping up like so somebody in there is think is canceling orders and trying to like save them for their friend or something. But anyway, um we just accepted this $34.58 shopping order from Sam's Club while I'm sitting in Walmart parking lot, which like I said, Sam's Club is literally right next door. So, um, it's not supposed to start until 10:00 a.m.
It's only 9:33, so 27 minutes. Um, I was looking at the order between both orders. There's like five cases of 540 40 packs of water. So, there's a decent this it's a pretty heavy order.
Um, and one of them is an apartment. So, this is one of those orders where I wish I had one of those carts to deliver.
Hopefully, it's not like on the fifth floor or nothing crazy, but we'll see when we get there. No matter what, we going to knock it out and get the money like some big dogs. But yeah, I'mma head over to Sam's Club. Um, and sit there for a second. I'mma eat my breakfast, which is just a Cliff Bar.
Uh, I've been on a journey. If you watch my last video, I told you I'm trying to lose weight. I'm actually down 2 lbs from the last video that I recorded.
Clap it up for your boy.
But yeah, I'm trying to keep that going.
I didn't eat nothing today but a orange and I'm eating this Cliff Bar. So, I had some fruit and I'm eating this Cliff Bar for breakfast. When I get home today, I'm going to eat a eat a little bit and get a couple miles in. But yeah, anyway, we're headed over to Sam's Club. We're going to sit there for a second, wait for this order to start, and keep it moving. After this order, this will put us at about $134, $133 somewhere around there for the day. So, um, today is really moving along really good. We had a little bit of downtime right now between this second and third order, which is the only downtime we've had so far. Um, by the time this next order starts, we will have been sitting for about 40 minutes, but it's not too bad.
Um, so I'm going head over there and keep it moving. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all. So, it's 9:40.
I'm at Sam's Club and uh even though it says 10:00 that this order was supposed to start, it's actually allowing me to go in. Like right now, I'm previewing the shopping list and I'm looking at things. Uh so in my head, I'm trying to figure out how I'mma organize stuff on the cart. Um so I can see actually not a lot of big stuff besides the water. So I already got in my mind how I'm going organized. One order is only four items and two of those items are cases of water. So, um it's 9:40.
9:41. I'm going to finish eating my breakfast.
Head in the store and try to get this knocked out fast as possible.
Let's go. Okay, y'all.
9:58.
So, it took about 17 minutes for us to shop the order >> and pack it up. We're on our way to do our drop offs. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all. That was drop off number one of this two drop off order that I'm currently on. Um, it required a customer signature. So the customer, she was outside and um her front door was open, so I was expecting her to come to the door, you know, do the signature. So I carried the heaviest part of the order, which is 240 packs of deer park water.
Um I carried that up on the porch, which is up some stairs, and I came back down.
She was coming out. She kept saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were here. You can just leave it by the garage." She didn't want me to have to carry all the heavy stuff up the stairs.
And I told her like, "It's no problem."
Like, you know what I mean? I was expecting that. It's it's no big deal.
Um, so that was pretty cool. Hopefully the tip goes up. She she kept up. She apologized like four times. I told her like it's fine. You know what I mean?
But, um, that was pretty cool. Let's keep it moving.
Okay y'all, 10:23.
We just finished our third order today, which was our first shopping order of the day.
and our second ever Sam's Club shopping order. So, that was pretty smooth. It was 9:41 when I pulled up in the parking lot for Sam's Club to get out and go start shopping. Um, and it's 10:24 now.
So, what's that? 19 plus 24. So, it took about 43 minutes and it was supposed to take 44 minutes. So, that is a very good $30 order in 40 minutes. $34.
So, um, I put it in my maps right when I was just at the customer's house. 7.1 miles back to the Walmart. So, I'mma head back that way. Get in the high priority offer zone again and see if we can't get another banger. Let's keep it moving.
Okay, y'all. We right back. 10:26.
I'm headed back to the Walmart that I just picked up from.
Let's see. I am 6 miles away, 6.1 miles away from that Walmart and I just accepted this $34 and 63 cent pickup order.
13.8 miles. Supposed to take 37 minutes.
So, it's 10:41 now. We're 14 minutes away from that Walmart.
So, we'll actually start the timer once we get there because I know it's pretty busy. Um I don't know if I will complete this one 37 minutes from right now, which would be about what 11:04 something like that. 11:04.
Um but we're going to go pick up this order and see how fast we can get it done. This is pretty good because I'm in constant motion. The only downtime I had was just in between the second and third orders. Um, but other than that, u I'm on the move, which is a really good that keeps me in a good flow. So, let's hopefully hopefully this flow continues. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all. 10:39.
Just pulled back up to Walmart.
Uh so it took us about what 12 13 minutes to get here after we accepted that order. It says that the order is ready.
So um hopefully it don't take too long to come out and we're going to try to knock it out as fast as possible. 13 miles. So, um, this order right here is probably taken me out of all the orders, this one is taking me the furthest away from like the stores. All the orders that I've taken so far have like regardless of the mileage have kind of kept me right within 8 to 10 miles of this Walmart and Sam's Club. But, uh, this one is kind of taking me across the city. So, um, this one is going to put me further away from Walmart for me to drive back to the high priority offer zone. But, um, it's no big deal. Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all. 10:42.
So, 3 minutes in and out. That's pretty good for this Walmart. I will say one thing. It seems like it's kind of weird.
This is, like I said, this is the busiest Walmart we've been delivering from today. And uh it's really it's really not too busy. So like I said, I won't complain. It's just kind of weird when you're used to it always being busy, you know. But uh let's drop off.
We actually might get this done in the 37 minutes that it says with how fast they brought out the delivery. Let's go.
Okay, y'all.
11:13.
So, that one actually didn't take us very long. We accepted it at about 10:26 10:27 and it's 11:13. So what's that about 46 minutes and it was only supposed to take 37 minutes or something like that. So that's not too bad. You know, when we accepted that order, we was 12 13 minutes away and we still pretty much got it done almost right on time. So I won't complain and we're going to keep it moving. Let's see how far away we are from Walmart.
Okay, so I'm 14 miles away from the Walmart that I just delivered from and I'm going to head back to there because that's a super center and if there's not an order at that Walmart, maybe there's an order at the Sam's Club right next door. There is a Walmart that's closer, but um I'm going to go toward the the more popular Walmart in hopes that I get a better order. So, uh, we're headed back there. Actually, 13 miles. Sorry, I said 14. But, um, yeah, we're headed back there. Get back in the high priority offer zone and keep it moving.
Let's get the money.
Okay, y'all. 11:43.
Just pulled back up to Walmart in the high priority offer zone and uh we're going to sit here and see if we can't get another good order.
Let's see how long it takes.
Okay, y'all. So, it's 12:25.
I'm still sitting in the parking lot in a high priority offer zone. Um, there was a lot there's a lot of orders on there, but like I said, today I'm being very selective about which orders I take. I haven't taken any orders under $30 today, so I really didn't want to take any under 30. See if the algorithm keeps sending me the kind of orders that I'm accepting. Um, but anyway, I just accepted a $4511 shopping order. So, this will be the second shopping order of the day. Um, it's supposed to take 1 hour and 12 minutes, 7.8 miles. So, uh, we're going to try to get this done.
It's 12:26. So, we're going to try to get this done by what? 1:38.
Shop it, pack it, and deliver it. Two drop offs. Let's go.
Yo, I'm hot as ever.
It's 1:45. Yo, I just now got done shopping for this shopping order.
I don't even remember what time I started it. I don't remember what time it's supposed to get delivered cuz I'm just so frustrated right now.
That order took me so long to do. Like the map wasn't working. So, I was like going through I walked pretty much through the whole store like three times going back and forth past stuff that I needed because the map wasn't working and I didn't know where it was. So, I went like through all the pretty much the whole store, all the J's, all the G's, all the aisles to find all the stuff for this order, which like right now this this right now how I'm feeling, I might not ever take another shopping order again. I um might have kind of shot myself in the foot passing up decent orders trying to find another order, waiting for this one.
Um but this this this has been horrible.
This I couldn't find stuff. Then when I was finding stuff like the app would tell me that there had to be a substitution.
I would try to click on the substitution, it wouldn't work. And then like I would find some stuff that needed substituted that the substitution was actually there and then like I would have it in the cart and then the customer would cancel it. So I had to remove it. So it it got to the point where anytime there was something that wasn't available, I just canceled it and couldn't find it.
I didn't even look for no substitutions cuz the lady just kept canceling it. So I was like obviously she don't want no substitution. So I just cancelled out anything that I couldn't find. I just didn't even look for a substitution. So, the amount on this order is probably going to go down, which at this point, like this is my last order for the day and I'm done. That's how frustrated this shopping order has me. But anyway, we bagged up and we're on the way there.
It was to the point where like I stopped organizing the stuff in the cart. Like I just whatever I could find, I would just throw it in the cart and I was like, I'll organize it when it's time to bag.
So that's what I did. So the bagging process took me a little while because I was going through everything trying to find the 10 items that were in a smaller order so I could bag them and then just bag everything else. But I'm going to say this is my worst experience pickup or shopping I've ever had on the Walmart Spark app. But anyway, we're going to deliver it and go get the money. Let's keep it moving.
Okay, y'all.
212.
We just finished what is definitely going to be our last order of the day.
It was only a little bit over 7 miles, but it was supposed to take 1 hour and 12 minutes.
I swear I'm I'm not sure. I got to I'm not even sure what the time I don't remember what time I accepted the order cuz that's how how flustered I am right now. But yeah, I'm pretty sure I was in the store longer than the amount of time that the order was supposed to take just because it was just that bad. But anyway, um after this order, I'm definitely going to be very selective on what type of shopping orders I take. like uh this is definitely the most items in a shopping order that I've done. Maybe that's why I was, you know, so bad. And then also, like I said, it's like the store map wasn't working. So, I was walking up and down every aisle pretty much just shopping like like I didn't have any assistance with the phone. So, yeah, that was a very frustrating experience.
But anyway, we going to head back home.
Let's see how far away I am from home.
So, I am 8 and a half miles away from home. I'm going to go to the gas station, fill up the tank, put it back on full, tally up my miles, and see how much we made and how many miles we drove today. Let's go.
Okay, y'all. We back home.
Right now, it's 2:44 in the afternoon.
So, today when I left my house, it was about 6:50.
So, about 6:45, 650. So, right now it's pretty much right around exactly 8 hours that I've been out today doing deliveries with Walmart Spark. So, that's not too bad of a day. We're over $200 for the day. So, today it looks like we made $213.88.
That's including a $6 incentive from the Walmart Spark app for making a delivery that qualified. Um, so that's not too bad. Even though my last order of the day was very frustrating and it took a lot longer than it should have. I honestly probably could have been done with that. I probably could have been home about 45 minutes to an hour earlier had that shopping order went really smooth how they normally do. But it's nothing to a big dog.
You know, every day, every time you deliver, sometimes there's always a different obstacle or something that don't go how you expect it to. You just got to roll with the punches and keep it moving and get the money. But yeah, today we drove a total of $15.3.
So that's also not too bad. Um, it equaled out to about $28.40 a gas. So even if you want to take that off my total, I still made about whatund 190 $185.
So that's not too bad for 8 hours of driving. Definitely with gas being up right now here in Pittsburgh. Gas is at $419 a gallon. So the prices have gone up since our last video and it looks like they're going to keep going up. So we still want to keep a track of how much gas is. And in the comments, let me know in your city what gas is right now.
We want to keep a track of it so we can kind of keep a general idea of what it looks like around the the nation, I want to say. Um because every city gas is different. Um like for for here it's been over $4 for the past week and a half. I know in some cities it still hasn't hit $4 yet. So kind of keep me updated and let me know what gas is like in your city.
Um, at the time of this recording, we're on the way to 1,800 subscribers and we going up. Clap it up for your boy, man. Channel is growing and we're getting bigger, man. Join the team.
Like, comment, subscribe, and share the videos. Let's get the money, man.
But right now, uh, I'm at home. I'm really hungry.
here. I didn't eat nothing all day but a Cliff Bar. Had my water. I've been drinking all day. Just kind of sipping it as I'm delivering.
Um, so I'm about to go and uh get a couple miles in. Like I said, I'm on a journey to lose a couple pounds and get my body right. So I'm going to take this time to go get a couple miles in and then I'm going to come home and relax.
But yeah, no matter where you are, what type of side work you doing, what type of gig work or side hustle work you doing, no matter what city you're in, I hope you had a good day and I hope you killed it today.
We had a good day up here today and I can't complain. Like I said, um after today, I will be being more selective about the type of shopping orders I take. That last Walmart order was like horrible, man. But out of that order, $39 out of the $45 was already there. So only $5 of it was a tip. So if there's anything like as far as the substitutions or anything that didn't get that affects the total overall, I'm still over $200 for the day. That'll put me at about $27 for the day. But we still had a good day, man.
Until next time, we going to see y'all.
Peace.
