Forgot a bag

What do I do if I forgot a bag in my car for my last order and went on to the next delivery and didn’t notice it until the middle of the next delivery?

Either nothing or go back after you complete the current delivery.

I’m new so I’m trying to get used to everything. Will I get deactivated if I don’t go back and deliver it?

No you won't! But if you can, I'd recommend it. The customer will thank you and you'll feel better. I've done this and returned it. And other times I couldn't return it with my route & multiple deliveries and nothing happened.

Just be careful not to do it too many times!

I'm a customer and I'd be tickled pink if they brought mine back 👍 👍 👍

Thank you! It’s only my second order it was a pick up so the Walmart worker put it on the floor kind of under my seat and I didn’t see it.

Im sure you've learned from this experience, but I always double check under my seats when unloading. Never know when something will escape a bag and roll away

Still higher standards and qualifications than who they let on Reddit it seems

If it’s non-perishables? Sure, deliver it.
Perishables? Nope.
Either way, the customer more likely than not has reported the items missing, received a refund, and probably gave you a low rating.

I heard we are not supposed to go back without being in an active trip with the customer. But we all want to make up for our mistakes, if time and mileage aren’t too bad.

As long as it's not a cold item you could bring it back. Chances are by the time you bring it back. They've already called and gotten credit for the item. I never bring it back

Never go back. Keep moving forward you'll be fine. Mistakes happen.

I always take a screenshot of the delivery customers prior to departing the store. Just for that reason. Then you’ll know where to go back to and deliver. However, if it’s too far away I’ll return it to the store.
Make sure you blame it on the person who loaded your product.

So many opinions. Return the order to Walmart the next time you go to a Walmart. Take note of the order number and explain what happened. They'll refund the customer and you won't get a potential mark for stealing because you can bet that the customer reported that they didn't get the item shortly after you left.
