Trashy but we don't have many options close by and it beats having to go inside.

Multiple people I know have had orders cancelled last few days. Others are delayed for hours and half the items are out of stock. Employees are saying shelves are bare.

Is everyone hoarding again? Lack of employees? Supply chain crashing?

Imagine if Walmart were the only grocer in town after having put all the little guys out of business

Is it pretty easy and cost effective?

What’s the premium for them to grab and bag everything?

I’m very picky about my fresh produce and meats so I wouldn’t really use these services anyways. Sucks if they are genuinely out of products though.

Sorry bro, I've been banging the regional logistics manager...I got a few more fricks to give her and things will be back on track. Again, my apologies and my gooch thanks you for your understanding.

Use it probably twice a week and never have any issues accept the occasional item substituted. Always show up at the time they are supposed to. Honestly it’s been great.

Supposedly a combination of covid positive workers and panic buying all wrapped into one. At least the one near me.

Been using target pickup lately instead

Historically they have 800 people in the store and only enough cashiers to open three registers. Why would anyone expect them to suddenly hire enough workers to handle online orders

Went to wal mart in elmwood a couple hours ago and half the list wasn’t in stock. Don’t know if it is supply chain or labor issues but there were definitely some bare shelves.

I’ve had a few orders cancelled
Also had things not available where I went & parked & went in & grabbed them
Also was given someone else’s groceries once, all in all it’s way better than going in the store

Do you not have legs? Are you fat? Or just lazy? You’re buying stuff from the store but won’t walk in. AMERICA.

My local nh market has been great. They substitute 1 or 2 items occasionally.

Interestingly enough, today, all the employees were meeting near the pharmacy. Apparently, someone got covid bc the person talking was telling them not to come to work if sick and it’s okay to take off

You can use the service for other items. It's convenient.

Definitely depends on the Walmart and their setup. Some have very few pick up parking spots, and to make things worse others are next to the flow of traffic causing backups, etc. It took over an hour the one time I tried and I said never again.
