    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.
