Walmart Grocery Pickup is melting down

Just did one a few hours ago with only a few items not available

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

delayed for hours and half the items are out of stock

How much vagisil did you order, baw?

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

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.

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

I Quit using walmart pickup. I waited 45 minutes last time and still didn't get my order so I left.

Switched to Kroger pickup. In/out in 5 minutes.

Probably Covid. It happened at our local store a few months ago. A bunch of the workers went to a party together, and then they found out someone at the party had Covid. Walmart made everyone who was at the party quarantine, and then several of them ended up catching Covid. The store then had very few people left to pick orders and dispense them, so they lowered their daily cap on orders and started canceling all express orders. I had to start doing my own shopping again when that happened. Damn Covid.
