I’ve done a LOT of DoorDash and Walmart Spark deliveries — but I’ve never seen one like this.
In today’s episode, I start my morning running Walmart Spark shopping orders to replace inconsistent breakfast DoorDash shifts. One offer looks incredible on paper… until it turns into a 200-item shopping nightmare with heavy water, soda, and multiple trips up apartment stairs.
Lesson learned: it’s not just pay + miles — it’s item count, weight, time, and hassle.
Later, I switch to DoorDash lunch deliveries in misty Alabama weather with slow offers and ratings pressure — and then it happens…

☕🏠 A Shop & Deliver order from Home Depot… for Starbucks Frappuccinos.
Yes. Really.
If you’re:
• A retiree doing DoorDash
• A new gig worker
• Or a seasoned driver trying to stay profitable during slow days
…this video will feel very familiar.

💬 Question of the Day:
What’s the strangest thing DoorDash has ever sent YOU to shop for?
