I live in a rural area and Walmart is one of the very few shopping choices that’s available. I love the service and I’ve had little or no issues. The service saves me so much time, energy and money (no impulse buying) My local Walmart Neighborhood Market has switched to ALL checkouts as self scan with employees hanging around chatting – aggravating me to no end! When I go into the store I have to shop, scan, bag, put in car, unload and put up…I’m doing it all with no discount offered. The pick-up service saves me 4 out of the 6 steps. Plus I care for my mother who has dementia and can’t be left alone. When she use to shop with me it would be a 3 hour ordeal. Now we just load up in the car, drive to the pick-up area and drive home…so much time saved with less frustration.

I use grocery pickup at Walmart in Ohio. The online site states and it is true, that the items are more expensive. I do not allow for substitutions because the one time I did, it was much more expensive. However these two downsides do not stop me from taking advantage of the time-saving and convenience of this Walmart service!

In reply to Terri. Kroger has problems hiring enough people. I drove yesterday for my 5:30 pickup only to be told to come back in 45 minutes. 2nd time this has happened.

In reply to Ruth. Phone number listed in every parking space. Call from cell and they respond quickly. Been using service since started and love it.

I know this is about grocery pickup, and I’m doing grocery pickup it for the first time tomorrow. I’ve only used the Walmart grocery delivery service once 2 years ago when I needed food and I was sick with the flu. I had asked for antidiarreal medication as I was having that issue too. What I got instead was a laxative. Oh well.

Like most others I truly appreciate Walmart pick up these days. I like that I’m not paying more for something plus a fee/membership plus a tip like Costco and Publix. I’ve gotten the website down, love that they saved thing I bought before and all I have to do is call ans raise the back of my SUV from inside my car. The people come out and load it in. They don’t xpect a tip so what I do is after a couple of times from the same person I give them a $5 tip and tell them it’s for all the times they’ve helped me. It would be nice if Walmart had more than 1person working busy shifts but it’s not the delivery persons fault. Anyway, I hope they continue this service after the plague is over!

In reply to Teresea.

My Walmart always had only 2 people doing orders. No more than that.
Maybe they thought people liked walking through the store for an hour trying to find a specific item?
They’ve finally started training more people after they got flooded with orders consistently for a week. Now they have 6 people trained for grocery pickup! I feel bad for them. Corporate really doesn’t understand that only a small percentage of people actually like going into stores.

In reply to Jenny.

Yeah they stopped doing paper orders a while ago…

You can edit the substitutions section in your order and tell them not to substitute certain things. I like a specific brand of blue cheese dressing, so I had to turn off substitutions for it!
Fortunately, it’s a per-item option, and it saves your settings for that item for next time!

In reply to Penny. They aren't having people sign the pads anymore due to covid19. Instead, they ask if it's okay to sign for you and then draw a line. They might not go back to doing the signature stuff because they have other means of verification, and it's a lot faster to do it this way.
