So crazy insta cart is a thing for use cases other than substantial disability… which it must be I guess? It’s too well known for such a small niche. Every time I see it mentioned I am shocked.
You’d be blown away at the amount of people that use delivery services for groceries and other restaurant deliveries. I know of a few that do it multiple times a week, and anecdotally, these are also the same people that complaining about not being able to afford things.
??? I mean not all of these pickup services cost extra. Instacart costs more, but Walmart pickup is free. I get it all the time so I don’t have to wade through the zoo that is Walmart.
It’s good for people without transportation, too. A family of four taking the bus where they need to go? Fine. A family of four hauling a family of four’s worth of groceries home on the bus? Less fine. Especially if the bus stop isn’t actually close to their home. Then it’s a family of four (if you can even get them all together at the same time because you need the extra hands) hauling a family of four’s worth of groceries (including bulky stuff like toilet paper) down city blocks or through industrial areas or rural areas or wherever, for however long it takes. Throw in a broken bag now and then, and… yeah. Grocery delivery is a much better option.
This is a good point too. The nice thing about Walmart delivery is that you can change your address.
So if you typically have it delivered to your home address, but you fly somewhere on vacation and don’t get a rental car, you can have Walmart deliver your groceries to your vacation spot. That’s a lot cheaper than using a taxi to get groceries, or buying every meal you eat on vacation - especially if you have a family!
Today I ordered six mini bottles (I guess 10 oz each?) of club soda. They were out, so the shopper brought me four large bottles of club soda (maybe 38 oz each?).
Apparently I need to drink a lot of mojitos.
You want paper towels? Nah you get dog treats, bro
Although person probably just scanned the wrong item 😂
hopefully whatever you were making with that sour cream will survive the beef rawhide replacement 🤣
It was the paper towels that got replaced with rawhide. The sour cream is still pending.
Currently it’s just cream. Your order will be updated when it has turned sour.
I usually try to go with Shipt shoppers if I can. IMHO, they give more of a shit compared to IC.
There is a very high chance the people shopping are doing it for every brand they can. At best shipt simply has better costumer support and they don’t want to mess with it.
