Pet Peeves

Another Walmart-related peeve is that they place merchandise on really high shelves making it difficult or impossible to reach. I'm 5'2" so it's particularly annoying to me. I don't know why they place things so high up and then there's no associate around to help get the stuff down.

I've been known to assist a random Munchkin or two at my local Walmart. The top Overflow shelf is a real challenge. Those driving scooters have it worse.

One thing I've really noticed lately is that there are way more Order Pickers (for pickup and delivery orders) than I've ever seen. I mean double or triple the number...maybe even more. Their trolleys are huge and are beginning to get in the way. And the number of parking spaces reserved for pickup orders has been expanded. It's almost as though they don't want customers in the store.

If yo have Walmart+ for delivery, it helps to order those kinds of things. Anything that comes in a container or package of some kind is great for delivery, and you do not have to try and find it or get it off the shelf.
The main thing that I like to go to the store for is fresh produce, so I can pick it out myself.
 
I only occasionally buy groceries from Walmart and I don't want another "membership." I'm mostly referring to general merchandise being on the highest shelf, like pool chemicals, housewares or what have you. Last time I wanted a case of canning jars I had to wait around for at least 20 minutes for someone to come and get them down from the ceiling.

I have noticed on the Walmart website that they have moved away from "shipping" altogether and the choice is either pickup or delivery for most items. If I choose delivery, there is a fee plus I'm expected to tip the delivery driver. Not going to happen so I have stopped ordering from Walmart much anymore.

I hate that I can’t get anyone to help me get stuff off of the top shelf at Walmart. If I go looking for an employee, they usually say they don’t work in that department. :mad:But. I know how to get help now! 😁One day, there was no one around to help me get something off the top shelf. I looked around and seen one of those rolling ladders that the employees use to get to the top shelf. Well…..I rolled that puppy over to the shelf I wanted and climbed up to get my item. Employees came rounding the aisle telling me I can’t do that!! I said, well maybe someone needs to be in their department to help customers when they need help with items on the top shelf, or put the cheaper :poop: on the bottom so we can get to it. I got hateful looks. I gave one back!👻☺️ Whatever!

That is actually why I use a cane.

Oh I just saw your other post. Not sure getting canning jars down would be a good idea.
 
On two lane roads with no way of passing can we please not drive 10 mph below the speed limit!
I moved to a rural area about 15 years ago, and am familiar with that behaviour. We also have agricultural equipment using the roads to go from field-to-field. I don't let it bother me. I'm still driving at a decent pace, and it beats walking or riding a horse. I figure that I might be that person one day, just trying to get to the grocery store and back in one piece.

I will say I feel a little different about that issue when I get on the interstate. They make right lanes for a reason.
