Some Walmart delivery drivers are buying their credentials online — letting anyone deliver goods to your door::Walmart Spark driver accounts are popping up for sale on Facebook and Instagram as the retailer’s delivery service struggles to verify who is working
Is it the item I wanted? Is it undamaged? Yeah I really couldn’t care less. Nobody is getting a delivery job to scope houses to steal from, they just go steal.

If someone wants to drive up and take your kid, they don’t need a Walmart job to do it…

I mean… I guess that would help catch complete morons who crime while on the clock.
So, probably quite a few actually.
The grand majority of instances of this happening are done by relatives. Not Joe worker delivering groceries.
I’ll take the rapists for 500 Alex.
Seriously, you might be fine but there are people out there who aren’t necessarily fine.
Single mother ordering groceries because she can’t load get the energy up to load the kids in the car to take them down to the local Wally world. Yeah, it’s an edge case, but it only takes one and then you’ve got a multimillion dollar lawsuit.
It’s this kind of fear mongering bullshit that got parents scared to let their kids outside. Which then lead to parents having to parent, and they skirted that with iPads and cellphones. Kids are okay to go outside and play, take your stranger danger bullshit somewhere else.

I think you’re the one lost in the sauce guy. You might not know this, but people lie. In fact they have a crime specifically for lying, called failure to report. The system is not compulsory, it works on the same punishment system the rest of the crimes do. Acting like everyone’s an SO is as dumb as assuming nobody is. However neither of these stances are as dumb as assuming stranger danger is the problem and not uncle kenny.

Off I see you’ve never been a single woman and he’d someone creep on you so it never happens. That’s outstanding. I’ll have to inform the world that that’s how it works now.
You can hold your fake apathy, I’ve seen what people like you cheer for.
You’re really misusing that quote.
Lmao assume what you want of me you myopic clown.
We have schools. Busses full of kids that get dropped off at the side of the road like clockwork and based on the age range you want, you pick a time bracket.
Becoming a delivery driver to steal kids or property is like becoming a circus clown to pet animals. There’s easier ways to get to the desired outcome.

I nixed that problem right in the bud by having ugly kids.

This is what you get when you order from fucking Walmart. How is this a surprise
This is already common among food delivery apps, probably every single gig service has this problem.
Is it a problem though? If they do the job I really don’t care that much. Not many people doing delivery to go back and rob the place.
Account sharing lets people who have lost their accounts get back onto the platform. If working credentials are easily available then banning malicious/useless drivers won’t be effective.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The driver declined to have his full name appear in this article due to potential retaliation from Walmart, but his identity is known to Insider.
“Drivers selling or sharing personal or account information is against the Spark Driver platform terms of use and will result in deactivation from the platform,” a Walmart spokesperson told Insider, adding that the retailer uses “manual and automated tools to identify and prevent this behavior.”
“Where appropriate, we request the removal of these posts from social platforms and deactivate drivers who are confirmed to be violating the terms of use in this way,” the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson also confirmed that Walmart is still rolling out a third-party identity verification feature in its app that compares selfies that drivers are required to take with previously submitted photo ID cards.
The Walmart spokesperson did not directly address Insider’s questions about whether the feature was operating nationwide yet.
Spark drivers around the US previously told Insider that they see their peers using two or three different names to pick up orders at Walmart.
