I’ve commented on this several times, but Walmart’s online grocery pickup app is coming along nicely. They’re doing a push to hire developers and the improvements show in the app.
You originally had to call a phone number but now you say you’re on your way and it notifies the workers to come out and put your groceries in the trunk. My wife hates going inside Walmart’s so we’d use the smaller more expensive grocery stores, but with online pickup she stores her favorite items, adds them to a cart with a $30 minimum, and picks them up the next morning. It’s super convenient and we love it. I’d be hard pressed to see how Amazon could improve upon it, honestly.
- Spooky23 8y agoTotally agreed. Amazon’s variety of of offerings are also very confusing. You have Fresh, Pantry, and normal prime. I cannot use Fresh... I stopped using Amazon because with Pantry you’d get short-dated product and returns are a hassle. I think they have third party supply chain bullshit as well. Walmart is a better option, their economics are better for “middle of the store” grocery goods and I don’t have the supply chain concern that comes with Amazon.
- ghaff 8y agoI don’t use online ordering for groceries but I find Walmart grocery shopping generally incredibly hit or miss. A Walmart is the closest grocery store to me but I’ll basically never go there to do a full grocery shopping because of generally poor quality meats, wildly inconsistent produce, frequent out of stocks etc. I’d rather go a few more miles down the road to one of two grocery chains. Walmart is fine for most staples but rarely do they have everything I’m looking for at acceptable quality. And, yes, I dislike going in the store.
