Have You Used Walmart Grocery Pickup?

Absolutely. We have used it for over a year and it’s fantastic.

I tried Amazon delivery, but it's just awful. Their prices are horrendous. The selection sucks, and the website is impossible to use.

Walmart really does have some of the best prices, and with this service, you're able to compensate for some of their shady practices (by researching and selecting better brands). I was also thankful to have the opportunity to tip the employee.

I'm not sure what else competes. I'm sure there are similar services, but I'm betting Walmart has the edge at this point.

and you get RayRay delivering your groceries, hope you don't get robbed 3 weeks later.

No doubt. This is actually a problem.

Packages draw attention to your house in general. When I lived in Atlanta I started using Amazon a lot, until a few of my packages went missing. Within weeks my house was vandalized with signs of attempted burglary. Thank God I don't live in the city any more, but I still don't want Ray Ray walking on my porch every day.

We have this thing called Superstore here, where I get my groceries, where such a service is offered, and more and more I see the clerks rushing around with their online-order carts collecting people's groceries.. Seems like this kind of deal is becoming more and more popular!

I once looked into using it myself, but had the issue of the products I needed in bulk only being available in small, more expensive packages, compared to the larger items in store. Ah well!

One of these days this will all be robots and little gulf-cart like vehicles bringing your stuff right to your door on a daily basis.

Do you have to pay for this service?

There's no charge for Walmart.

Wow thats amazing actually. Do you tip?

Yeah, I can definitely see something like happening. There's already things like that being tried out.





Maybe we can just raise corporate taxes and give everyone food stamps. I'm a libertarian, but it certainly seems like we're getting real close to having the entire process of growing, gathering, and distributing food completely automated.

When this happens it may be beneficial to allow a monopoly to perfect the system and nationalize it (or something similar).

You are not allowed to tip. They literally wear buttons that say “no tipping”.

I tipped $20 for a $250 bill.

You know, if instead of an office building for a rich wallstreet fatcat, we had a glass greenhouse office building or three, and we got some good urban farming going, this process could be greatly simplified.. Hmmm..

I want to try it, but I'm worried they wouldn't pick out the best produce. Any experience with the produce?

Seems great though. Willing to try it out.

Just think about it for a second. We have the technology TODAY to be able to completely automate our food supply. We could easily create farms, gardens, and green houses with robotic attendants. The food could be shipped directly to your house via AI driven trucks or drones.

We could have a website where you place your order, which begins the process.

With 3D printers and automated factories, we could expand from the food supply and automate small items and consumables too.

How much would this cost us? $10 trillion dollars? I think it could be done for that, at least for a ton of basic necessities.

We spend that much every 1/billionth of a second or something in the Middle east. /s

I don't think our civilization fully understands our current level of technology.

The produce she selected for me was amazing. She even gave me 2 ready to eat bananas and the rest kinda green. Lol, I couldn't have asked for a better selection honestly.

I break lots of rules.

Best.Invention.Ever

I can take my time selecting my items and I don't impulse buy. Plus I only have to lug it one time instead of two.

I have used this service about eight times. It is great! I like to shop at night when I can't sleep. The entire store is at my convenience while I snuggle down in my jammies. Then I choose a time slot to pick them up.

It is more than groceries...tooth brushes, outdoor thermometers, cat litter, duct tape, bandaids, mouthwash, a cake pan, copy paper, steaks, fresh rolls, anything on the store inventory and all in pictures! Even the frozen things are rock solid when they load them up. The personal shoppers as they are called pick out the nicest vegetables. The tomatoes I got were perfect.

No screaming kids, no getting clipped by some huge person on a tiny scooter who takes up most of the shopping isle while they check out the calorie count on that large package of Oreos. No looking for a parking spot. No walking around for an hour and standing in a check out behind some one with coupons.

The kids are running around, they all have dirty hands and snot running down their faces. The shopping carts are covered in God knows what! You are a fool to expose yourself to those contaminates. Sometimes the hand sanitizers are all used up.

I don't even get out of the car! I drive up, park in an area cordoned off just for the pick-up service. Then right in front of me is a large sign that tells me the number of my space and the number to dial to check in. Within about 4 minutes a nice person tows out a wagon with as many blue baskets as are needed...pops the back door...and carefully loads up the bags.

This is my new way to shop for sure. It is free! My usual orders run about $180.00

Do they give you expired dated food? I don't trust anyone to pick out my groceries! How does the frozen food shit work?

What the hell are you talking about? No one delivered anything. You place an order and pick them up at the store.

Also why would someone delivering something to your house make them all the sudden want to come back and rob you later? The amount of stupidity in this post is amazing.

You're such a good reader & writer. And you're hair looks very nice today.

NO - Good way from them and other chains that offer this to get rid of shit that is a year out of date!

I have never gotten an out of date product. I have seen the personal shoppers pulling items and they don't pull items from the back of the store.

You made a bad comment on a service you have never even tried.

Not me, OP, but I've seen some people parking in those parking spaces waiting for their stuff to come to them time to time over the last some weeks now.

Say what you want I know someone who works at a chain that does this so no real surprise! I venture to say it probably works well for most folks who use it!

Really? Obviously you have not used it and making shit up. Everything is fresh and current and the substitutions are reasonable.

The service is awesome. My wife does the online cart and I pick it up. I am surprised they do not charge for the service.

Good I'm glad for you and wife and you speak for the entire fucking country!
