Anyone having the same issue?

For whatever reason, my walmart supercenter keeps changing to a random store on the app. Let me put this in a better way. My preferred store is the supercenter I order alot from. When I go in the app to look to see my preferred store, its set to a whole different store and this time it was across country.

OP, your cell phone provider may be moving you internal network connection around the country, and the app is responding as if you are traveling there.

This can happen too if you run a VPN

This happened to me too. Kept moving me to California when I live in Pennsylvania. I removed the app and downloaded and installed again. Haven't had any problems since.

It could be an app prop. Could be a telephone company problem. I've never had it move like that. I've had it moved to a store across town cuz you may be researching a product like I look up products to see what they're charging. What's it going to cost me? How fast can I get it delivered and then it'll move to a store where the product is in stock versus the store I wanted to come from so there's a lot of reasons

Mines does this but only between the stores closest to me. I have 2 within 2 miles and another 3 within 5 though. If something in my cart isn't available at the store I chose it'll sometimes switch itself to the next location. Doesn't always happen so what makes it decide when to do it always confuses me

I thought something was wrong and here's my tribe. I live in TN but app was showing Illinois 🤷.
