Walmart: Shopping & Savings 4+

Circle back run around!

I ordered 2 tires today in store at the tire center with the counter person confirming they were in stock and ready to be installed after purchase at their Walmart store after confirming purchase on the Walmart app I recieved a message from the app that tires would be ready for pick up first at 4:30 Pm this was at 2: pm so I drove 30 minutes back home and called in at 4:30 to see if they were ready, the auto center is open till 7:pm so plenty of time (I thought) to get them put on! I was disconnected after being after being on hold for 40 minutes, then called back and told that the order was cancelled and the tire center closed early, and they would have to be reordered and try the whole thing over another day! Every time you call to ask for the tire department you have to listen to a prerecorded 5 minute recorded spiel about Covid 19 before you can even press a department number to talk to someone and the Auto center isn’t one of them you have to go through the switchboard first and Wait for someone to answer and then ask them to transfer you to the auto center then you have to wait for someone to answer that phone which if they don’t in 5 minutes or so then you have to go back through the switch board and start all over! So if you don’t have a job and can spend a few days trying to get your tires put on to save a few bucks on some cheap tires maybe that’s fine, if not go another route!

Together when apart

We have loved this service and app since the pandemic. Our family ended up being separated by three states when the COVID seized the nation. My husband and I had “dates” on the phone ordering his groceries. We would discuss his meals for the week including his lunches for work, I’d add what he needed into the cart through the app then I would place the order for him to pick up at the Walmart around the corner from our home in Wyoming where he was at. I would always add something special and extra; his favorite dessert, a snack I thought he like for his lunch. Then after he’s pick up his order, which was always easy quick and simple at our Laramie Wy Walmart, he’d call to tell me what he got elated by the special items I’d thrown in he didn’t know about.
It was so easy I’ve done it now for my kids too for those holidays we couldn’t be together I’d buy them a meal. When they were feeling down and I thought they could use a banana split night with friends I’d order up all the makings and have them pick up their order at their local Walmart. And never ever a problem with ordering or picking up ( outside of shortages during hoarding but that wasn’t a flaw in your system just our nations mentality)
Thank you Walmart for making it easy to continue loving my family through food even when I can’t be there next to them.
