Walmart Grocery Pickup

Tweet

I know I have been on here before ranting about Walmart (How I am not their employee and I refuse to do self check out blah blah blah) and the way they do things. This time though, its not a rant. Yesterday I downloaded the Walmart grocery app and decided to give it a try. I ordered what I needed, paid with ease, and clicked submit. It told me that I could not pick up my order until the next day. Oh well, okay. No big deal. So this morning, I got a text on my phone: Your Walmart Grocery order is ready to be picked up. It was pouring down rain (it still is) but I went anyway. I parked in the pick up section of the lot, and within minutes a nice lady in a raincoat brought my groceries to the car. She said, "We had to make a few substitutions." Here we go... "We didn't have the Walmart hamburger buns you ordered, so we substituted Ball Park. We also didn't have the pack of 50 paper plates, so we substituted 150. We didn't have the small pack of Haribo gummy bears, so we substituted the large pack. No charge for the upgrades. If we don't have what you order, we substitute it for a bigger size or name brand for no extra charge." What??? All I could say was "WOW!" I had made a list of what I ordered, to check against when I got home. Everything I ordered was there. I was amazed. I probably saved a lot of money too, by not going into the store. I am one of the worst for impulse buying. Walmart, You did real good this time.
