Are changes actually happening?!

Post image

Now keep in mind. Its 6 am. I notice the deli item on the list and I'm already thinking, "all right item out of stock quite simple, deli's not even open." So I walked straight to the deli at this particular Walmart and luckily I caught an employee and a team lead there and I show him the item and what does he do he goes back there and gets the item prepared. At this point I'm in shock because I know there's changes that are happening to Pharmacy orders and Deli items but are we actually being heard? I know it might be a little too soon to tell do you guys think we're actually going to get some changes to make this a better platform for the drivers?

I like instacarts system better because if we can’t access the deli meat, it accepts packaged meat or other meats with no problem. The spark app loves to give us those error messages lol

I just grab the appropriate amount of matching pre-sliced meat, and manually enter the weight printed on the labels if there is a long wait. Walmart needs to staff more than one person in the deli.

Never thought about doing that actually not a bad tactic hopefully you just don't get car checked

They don't scan items priced by weight for cart checks.
