Has anybody used this?

Yeah it's a great service. I'll use it every two weeks. I still get my produce and meats from costco/rouses though.

Cuts my shopping time by a lot and minimizes unnecessary spending by seeing and buying shite I don't need in-store.

They will not accept tips. I tried

I have a friend that uses it all the time.

Ran into him at home Depot just walking around because his groceries weren't ready yet.

So I just looked at Walmart about this and it says my pickup location is 615 Veterans Blvd. That's the site of a closed Whitney bank with drive-thrus and all.

Is this correct? There can't be much space there for inventory. Do they deliver from a bigger store for me to pick it up there?

but perhaps loading up an SUV with 300lbs of stuff may warrant a couple extra bucks.

Idk about tipping, but I'm awkward as shite and can't just sit in my car. I get out and help load everything myself.

Why? So you can get home to find out that a good number of your items that you purchased are expired?

That's you being a dumbass and not looking beforehand clown. And I've never had this happen.

Rouse's sucks.
LeBlanc's was the GOAT. RIP in peace.

We don't have Wal-Mart's in Portland, for the most part. We have a few of the Neighborhood Markets and a couple of Wal-Mart's out in the country, but Fred Meyer is the local superstore that has the market cornered.

Safeway is doing the grocery pickup thing, but we haven't used it. My wife likes shopping at New Seasons and Market of Choice because they have a lot of organic stuff. I like shopping there because they have good beer on tap. Both of those stores are significantly cheaper than Whole Foods.

I can and do catch it before I buy the items. However, to think that a worker will do that for you before the groceries are bagged and brought into your home is a ridiculous way of thinking with today's minimum wage worker.

And if you think everyone is going to check expiration dates before they leave the parking lot is also ridiculous as well since many are opting and paying for the convenience of getting in and out of there as quickly as they can.

Let me guess, you found a spot on a bell pepper one time and now all produce at all Rouses are shite, right?

You nailed it. Plus many other items that usually come in a box or wrapping. Pre-packaged and refrigerated.

I catch it, because I look. However, if the store employees are doing their job, they would remove those expired items from their shelves pro-actively.
