Have you cancelled your WalMart + membership yet ?

My MIL was agoraphobic after 65. She did not go out on the front porch the last five years of her life.

Sad,.

So you prove you can't get anything right (regaedless of the subject matter). LOL.

Well, on second thought, maybe YOUR Walmart deliveries (wherever you are) are OK.
Do they arrive in INSULATED BAGS ? Or maybe you live in Barrow, Alaska.

On time, insulated when necessary, text notification ahead of delivery, often knock on the door and wait to see if I answer.

You surely are a declining 80, from the posts recently. I hope you feel better soon.

You older guys' emotional and physical complaints have rejuvenated my physical activism (stretching, pool, walking, etc.). And I am feeling better than before. May that continue.

My daughter does these deliveries. Never had complaints about them.

Though people are dicks. Deliver heavy drinks, water to 3rd floor apartments. TO CORRECT ADDRESS. Then the good tip gets pulled after delivery.

USERS.

I use it time to time. Use coupons, then pass my savings on to the delivery guy. They work hard to make money at it. Saves me time I can order from Work its there right as i get home from work.

You’re paying a fee to have the groceries delivered to your home

I go to the store for my groceries.

I have. Cancelled it yesterday. Free at last!

I figured I'd give them 3 strikes (like in a baseball game).

Strike 1 - when I lived in an apartment complex of villas, they would sometimes drop the groceries off at the wrong apartment (and wrong entire building). I remember having to go our searching for it. Only to find the food piled up outside somebody else's front door. I wasn't giving the drivers tips back then - maybe that was the reason.

So I've been adding tips to the orders ever since then (about 5 years ago).

Strike 2 - for the last 4 years I've been living in an apartment building with a doorbell. I specifically write in the delivery instructions (in English & Spanish) for the driver to RING the DOORBELL, both in the computer order and in a note on my front door. They do about 50% of the time.

Strike 3 - Now, the deliveries (which used to come straight to your house) are now just one out of a bunch. So your frozen & refrigerated foods are sitting in NON-INSULATED, ordinary plastic bags, while the driver hopscotchs around to 3 or 4 other dropoff destinations, before he/she gets to you. All the while, your cold (at least they were) foods are roasting in a hot car trunk, mid-June, central Florida 90+ degrees, and when you finally receive them, they're WARM. Well, how could they be anything but ?

So, no more WalMart+ deliveries for me. I'll see if I can find another store with deliveries who have INSULATED bags (which are very cheap and reusable), and the driver comes straight to you. Up next, Publix.

Don't feed the megacorps. It's bad for the county.

I have associates who tip and or pay private shoppers to fill a shopping list and bring it within an hour or so to the home.

For those who can do this, a tremendous amount of time is saved to be used in other ways.

Here, it couldn't be done "within an hour", and would be expensive.
I was only paying WalMart $6.47/month.

A local grocery in Riverton got us groceries (a small list of maybe eight items) delivered in 45 minutes a summer ago to our friend's address.

I didn't know Walmart had memberships. I go there every couple of months to buy golf stuff.

Never had it.
