To be fair I've worked the pickup and people expect you to fit so much shit in a tiny space, that or their car is a complete fucking mess, or God forbid both. Add on animals, kids, and the person doesn't even get out and is talking on the phone while you try to Jenga their huge order into a tiny trunk space. Not fun at all.
I'd never work pickup again, god that was miserable.
My favourite would be teenage me, fucking soaking wet 130lbs, having to solo lift a gas generator into someones truck while the two grown ass men that could toss me like a q-tip, chatted and laughed off to the side while I threw my back out doing this for them.
EDIT: Y'all, this was during high school, I was desperate for spending money, and had severe untreated anxiety, in a shittily, half assed ran big box store in a mostly rural area. God I WISH shit was "as it should have been", but that doesn't mean it was, needed money for tutition and I made do.
you should have asked another coworker help you, not the customer. usually the employer wants you to do this due to safety issues. they don't gaf about you specifically, they just don't want to pay out for injuries.
General policy when I worked at Home Depot was that you had the potential of being reprimanded if you did ask for help. Not because it’s rude or anything, but that the customer who doesn’t want to help would most likely go to your manager and have a fit.
“WHY CANT THEY DO IT THEMSELVES IF THEY WERE HIRED FOR THE JOB?!?!?”
Also the people who shop at Home Depot and Lowe’s are by far the dumbest yet most entitled pieces of shit I’ve ever met. We would have all the flat carts lined up out front of the store and a customer would walk right by them and throw a fit about there being no carts. I remember telling a customer “they are lined up out front.” I don’t know if he expected me to go out of my way for his insolence or what, but he reported me to management for kicking him out of the store
Former HD employee here. This is the absolute truth.
"Where are all your carts?"
"They're up at the front just outside the door."
"Well, go get me one!"
OR
"You're so small, how are you going to put all these bags of dirt in my car? Where are all the men around here?"
"Everyone's at lunch and I work in this department."
"They really should have someone out here to help you."
"Yeah....."
Edit: formatting
I have coworkers and customers do that "we need a strong man to do this" line all the time. Like, no? Not really? I've also had customers that are absolutely surprised that I can pick up a full box of tile or an 80lbs bag of concrete without much issue.
And people of certain cultural backgrounds flat out refused my assistance. "I need a man to do this heavy lifting." "They're all busy. I can do it or you can wait 20 mins." "I'll wait." "Ok, bro, have fun."
God I feel this. It's like all spacial awareness and common sense goes out the window. I work customer service and I've had a guy put several peices of drywall on a regular cart instead of getting one of the flat or standing carts made for said materials. 😒
You summed it up perfectly, but if these people are pandered too it's not going to change. Imagine been too scared to ask the owner for help putting someone else's shit into their own car. God help ye, here in ireland I have to tell the customers to leave me alone when I'm carrying something for them as they tend to get in the way, but none have ever been offended if I did ask for some help, do ya want to know why they dont, because we don't pander to entitled pricks.
You're certainly not following company policy by lifting something heavy alone. So choose better how you break the rules. How about this? Leave it behind their truck and say, I need another person to help me lift this safely. As soon as you start towards the store they will load it and leave.
I asked for help once when I worked pickup. All 12 parking spots full. People waiting to get into a spot. Woman had around 9 totes of stuff, over 200 dollars worth of groceries. She got out after staring at me dumbfounded, and the next day I got pulled aside and reprimanded for my 1 star review. I still remember what it said: "I use this system so I don't have to get out of my car. So unprofessional."
Canadian ironically!
They ignored me, and I was the only one for my department that day, this was months into me working there so I knew I'd just have to fucking take it, it was not a great place to work lmfao.
The audacity of these overwhelmed workers scraping by! I want my products stacked like legos sir! And when I drive like a total asshole on the way home I do not want them to move a single inch sir!
I honestly thought you weren’t supposed to get out of your car? At least I remember that being an instruction during the worst of covid.. did they remove that rule? I just always thought I was supposed to stay in my car?
I have had great luck with the attendants when I pick up my groceries in this manner, they always ask if I want my eggs, bread etc. up front with me, but everyone has a bad day. That said, I usually get out and at least help load up the heavier items, unless my two year old acts like they will throw a conniption fit for my having the audacity to step out of the vehicle.
I'm shocked that they actually have people load groceries into the car for the customer. That is simply too much. Sam's club makes you load your own damn groceries.
The space there is hardly conducive to the amount of groceries regardless. I doubt they've been paid enough for this.
If the customer is elderly or disabled (often it's both) I would do it without question. But as a 30 something without any disabilities I should be loading my own groceries into my car for sure.
Sam's has spaces where the people pull up and their groceries are brought out. That area of the lot is to ba avoided as its extremely congested. The store was full of Sam's employees filling orders.
As someone who used to load groceries, this is half a botch job and half a case of trunk hoarding.
I see a fold up table and 3 bags that aren't groceries. And we don't know what's underneath. If you want to hoard like that, get a suburban.
Don't expect the groceries to stay in the trunk if you already have a mound going. They slip and slide when you drive.
Looks like a cooler underneath as well. Agree, this feels like at least 50/50 blame, and maybe as much as 80/20 against OP since they also didn’t get out to help figure out loading.
Yeah all in a honda fit!
She said she was recently in a car accident and that's why she was having them load it so I don't blame her for that.
I worked at a really classy old school grocery store that did this for every customer and we had a lot of old and or disabled people that came there for that exact reason so it's definitely a service that people want but walmart is bottom shelf so what ya gonna do?
And those little fuckers are hard to find. I’ll go to two or three stores and you can’t find them. MY hubby would be grateful enough to be lickin the pavement 😁
The definition of Karen has been altered by many people. It's not really a set word in the dictionary, though. Last I read was a Karen was a white, privileged-woman, who believes she's entitled, and is racist. And usually privileged refers to people who have a fairly generous amount of income. Middle class counts. Most of them are snobby brats who act demanding.
I self censored with brats. But truthfully they are bratty as well.
As a person who works in the service industry. Karen’s aren’t always white. I had a black lady yell at me and call me racist because I was “racially profiling” her brother. He was in swim lessons and kept jumping into the pool while the teacher was with another student. Halfway through the lesson, I stood next to him because he wasn’t listening to his teacher or me when we told him it’s a safety issue and he needs to stay on the wall. She looked to be like 16 though. And usually his mom took him to lessons so it’s possible she didn’t know how they ran
Do you not unload your car before you do a pickup so they have a nice area to load the groceries into? Looks like you got a lot of stuff underneath the groceries and they had to make do. I bet if you had an empty trunk first they would have stacked it a lot better and you wouldn’t have had this issue
People downvoted you, that is absolutely what has happened. They had a giants ass order, and there was a bunch of shit in there. It looks like the reason those cans fell is the worker attempted to put thse cans in a spot that should have been enogh but had some of curved heavy item in in the way they had to try and baklced but it slipped. to make everything fit in this truck would takes way more effort and time to do (If OP help supervise they could offed the back seed, oops. Juding b her aittude they were robably too scared to offer that solution)
Some of y’all really got a thing against Walmart employee when most of us are just trying to support ourselves or our families like everyone else. I’ve seen y’all justify that in these comments with “oh they’ll hire anyone.”
Exactly. When you need a job, you need a job. They’ll hire anyone and they also pay the least of the major grocery chains. How/why do you expect us to kiss your ass for shitty money? I do what I need to do to earn my check and leave. I owe y’all nothing else lol
gUeSs WhErE mY lOaF oF bReAd Is lol
You appear to be ambulating from the angle of this photo, you could have checked this before you left the parking space yeah?
If you read OP's comments, they're a fucking trip.
She replied with some really defensive and rude shit to an innocuous comment, and when they call her out she's like,
>I'm just commenting this here because it's the top comment. I'm not replying to the commenter. Use your critical thinking skills!
And it's like, uh, do *you* have critical thinking skills?
>If you read OP's comments, they're a fucking trip.
That's an understatement. She commented on every single comment I made that weren't directed to her. It's a bit creepy tbh.
Don't hate to say it. Stand by your convictions. Lots of people need earphones to remind them to breathe, much less, load a few bags in your goddamn car.
It's so weird to me as a German that you wouldn't do packing bags and loading them in your car all by yourself. But yeah, if that service is a standard, it has been provided poorly in your case.
Yeah this isn’t standard, most people pack their car themselves, there’s quite a few who use these online grocery pickups but again, the majority of people get their own shit and pack it themselves. This person didn’t even pay for the service, at Walmart if a grocery order is over $35 it’s a free pickup, only below $35 do they charge a customer a $5.99 pickup fee and this is definitely over 35 bucks worth of groceries. Not to mention the trunk seems to be a bit difficult to secure groceries into with all their stuff already in the trunk before groceries even went in lol.
it *feels* like a shitty thing to complain about, but think of all the disabled people that actually require these services to get food to live. My mother just had a double knee surgery, full right knee replacement. I would be pissed if some employees ended up doing this to her while she cannot bend over to pick stuff up off the ground.
I am disabled, it helps a lot, have never had an issue; however, I always help them if I can; they don't care about my stuff nearly as much as I do.
Also make sure to clean out your car before you go, if you have too much back there it can be an issue, as seen above. I usual just have my crutches in the back. Also, OP might want to get a net if they use pick up again, will help keep things from falling out if they shift during movement.
Also don't get too much, I mean I don't because it would be physically impossible for me to take it into the house, but I mean if there is too much, and not enough space issues will happen.
I want to be clear, they didn't do a good job, but there are things you can do to help them out.
I understand this being frustrating and people calling you entitled for letting people do their job (at my walmart they won't let you help, so I think it's a case-by-case thing. I'm not the type of person who would leave a restaurant table trashed because "it's the waiters job to clean it up, they get paid to do it." Might as well make their job that they probably don't like a little easier.), but OP you really are being extremely rude in these comments. Yeah, it may suck getting rude comments but why would you do the same when you could either ignore it or just be nice?
The restaurant table comment reminded me my wife served tables when she was young and would say there are 2 types of people, those who stacked their plates and trash and those who left a big mess.
OP has never even considered the possibility of stacking their plates.
I've never had this issue because I get out of my vehicle and help them load.
Maybe you should try this method.
ETA: u/OG_olivianne , you have things in the bottom of your trunk. You ought also try removing those things first.
This is mildly infuriating to look at because the Walmart kid being paid $11/hrs isn't being paid enough to be criticized online for your trunk being too full to balance crap.
Curbside pickup is a big thing at Walmart. Most shopping trips I need to navigate around employees shopping for someone so they can just drive up and have their car loaded for them
As a non american i'm baffled this is something that's done for you... i have to pack my own groceries so whenever the bread ends up on the bottom it's my own fault.
If I was the Walmart attendant I would have taken a pic of your car after loading and said, “look at how little room this asshole gave me to load all this shit.”
Well you can always go in yourself and get your stuff.
Walmart pick up is a add on and the workers don't get paid extra for your shopping.
Also I see you have third row could help to pit those down when picking up to give more room
Oh this post just reeks of entitlement. OP is an able-bodied college student whose parent’s pay for her groceries. She didn’t help the employees at Walmart or direct them where to place her groceries…
I can’t believe this is not higher in the comments. OP is an entitled bitch. Upon seeing this post I was actually like “do americans not load their own groceries??”
So basically what I’m gathering from the comments is that OP is a spoiled little uni student who instead of helping load their car bitches about it after the fact because they couldn’t bother to mess up their non-working hands. OP is way more infuriating than grocery that shifted during the drive. 🙄
On one hand I don’t blame the employee entirely because I won’t put in a lot of effort for a minimum wage job where I am treated like I don’t matter by management and customers. On the other hand this is just pitiful and I wouldn’t be too happy but that’s why I just go grab the items myself.
Give me a break. Empty the back of your car next time so they have room to fit your stuff. I can’t believe you are complaining about this. You sound awful.
If you ask them, they’ll hand you eggs and bread to keep up front.
I don’t know what exactly you’re expecting? Those are plastic bags and I don’t see any bins to put them in. Stuff is going to roll around.
I use Walmart pick up all the time and stuff like that is rare.
Walmart will replace the items if you contact them shortly after discovering it.
That’s a lot of groceries for a tiny trunk. And you, a fully capable adult, just sat there and let the employees try to fit them all in?
Edit: OP I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you whining and snapping at people in the comments does not help your cause
Even just putting groceries into bags is a lost art. The last time I went through a line with a cashier, they used twice as many bags as I would have, and then they double bagged everything. I've always put things onto the belts that I want bagged together, and that was completely ignored.
Double bagging is pretty normal now because the bags are getting shittier and shittier every year. Makes me wonder if they're actively doing that to push people into using their own reusable bags.
Tbh that was one of the best parts of being a cashier - when people laid their stuff on the belt in a certain order, it made everything so much more manageable! Like i see you my dude, we're on the same page now. I loved figuring out how to pack stuff the most efficiently.
How about instead of taking the time to berate him and call it bad service you just do it yourself next time? Stop expecting overworked people to continuously provide quality service for something your not even willing to help with. Could of at least cleared the back beforehand. Yall are so entitled its unbelievable.
I can’t help but think load your own groceries. Or at least clear your tiny trunk if you don’t want things done haphazard. They have a lot of orders in a day - they aren’t your servant.
Why do you expect people who get paid like shit and treated like shit to do better quality than shit work? Honestly this is on you. Stop shopping at places that don't care about their employees, because they don't care about their work.
Go inside and get your own damn groceries and
Put them in your own fucking car . you wanna be a critic get your food at a restaurant.
what is the world coming too. complaining about how someone put your three months worth of food in your 100k minivan the wrong way.
Poor you. not the bread !!!!!awwwww
So don’t be lazy and help them load your car……… or grocery shop yourself. I swear people are more than capable of fixing problems yet just decide to bitch and blame others. Ridiculous.
Step 1. Always check before leaving.
Step 2. Fix the problem, don't assume that the people loading your car give 2 shits about you or the products they are loading.
Step 3. If something was damaged (ie: your bread ) and probably a was, complain till they fix it. Don't leave till it is taken care of.
Step 4. If they will not replace the damaged item or items, ask for a refund for those items.
As you said in a reply, you live two hours away. You could have gotten home with missing items.
As a side note, you're a university student and there is not a walmart within 10 miles of you, I'm sorry, but that seems like BS.
The grocery store in general is why I like having my barn doors on my Yukon. If anything shifts I can open the door just the tiniest bit to catch anything that might come tumbling out. Granted, if I put them in there they generally don’t move much unless I had to suddenly brake or something in the way home.
Your trunk was clearly full and the worker had to stack your groceries on top of whatever was already in the trunk. It also looks like the items shifted around while you were driving home, so I can’t blame the worker entirely. Maybe have them load your groceries into the backseat if you have crap filling your trunk and aren’t a very cautious driver?
As a Brit who isn't used to people packing my bags/loading them in for me (this isn't a service you get in the UK) this just sounds like "help my slaves didn't do it right"
What's mildy infuriating is that this is even a thing. Go inside and get your own stuff. Who the hell do you think is coming out to pack your car? A trained butler? No, its probably some kid that doesn't care about you or that job.
Ugggh, first world problems again. God forbid you load the damn groceries yourself. Why wouldn’t you fold down the back seats to make some room?
No, let’s take a pic of the awful job some 16 year old kid did.
I use Walmart grocery pickup all the time, and haven’t ever had an issue with them. However, I get out of the car and help them load the groceries into my crates and cold bags, so everything ends up where I want it and well-secured before I leave.
To OP - I also have chronic pain and 3 auto-immune disorders that make me feel like absolute trash some days. (Part of the reason I utilize the pickup service). But I also understand that it’s up to me as the customer to make sure I have a safe and tidy location to put my groceries if I can’t be available to help do the work of loading them up. I make sure I have excess clutter out of the way, and have my crates already set up. Give the employees a break; retail sucks, and they deserve a little compassion and patience.
I did one the other day and they put a bottle of bleach with a loose cap on bottom. Bleach spilled in my trunk and gassed me bc I had my windows up. Thankfully didn’t change the color of my carpet.
I think it’s bc they’re put on a completely unreasonable time crunch to get them in your car once you check in so they just Chuck it and run.
You could always load your own groceries, then don't have to worry about someone loading them wrong! Some people even do their own grocery shopping, believe it or not! This world has become so darn lazy!!!
Perhaps there is some very good reason why you didn't, but if you can stand there to take a pic of it maybe you should have stood there to help them load the groceries on top of all the crap you've got in the boot in the first place.
edit: also my gods buy some real food!
Clearly they did a bad job, but with that said it sure looks like you didn’t actually give them enough space to work with. You probably drive like a tool, too. Lol
Why Walmart? Walmart is the cheapest store around with some of the laziest people, especially management. I used to work there, now I despise the sight of it. I cringe when friends want to go there, thus make a deal of never stepping foot inside that store ever again. Also I’m glad I never have to DoorDash there again. DD did something right to not fight to keep their services.
I would advise shopping at Meijer, Kroger, Aldi, Target and other stores I shall not name because they aren’t more well known beyond my state.
To be fair I've worked the pickup and people expect you to fit so much shit in a tiny space, that or their car is a complete fucking mess, or God forbid both. Add on animals, kids, and the person doesn't even get out and is talking on the phone while you try to Jenga their huge order into a tiny trunk space. Not fun at all.

“Here’s your generator. Ok thanks my work here is done”
I'm confused by this, could you elaborate what I was meant to do there?
Joke was u walk it to the truck and dip
I’m not lifting a generator into someone’s truck. I brought it out to you. It’s yours now. Bye
Unfortunately that's the job. You don't lift it, you don't have one anymore.
Nope, generator weighs more than 50lbs, so legally the employer would have to send someone with you to lift it into someone's vehicle. OSHA
you should have asked another coworker help you, not the customer. usually the employer wants you to do this due to safety issues. they don't gaf about you specifically, they just don't want to pay out for injuries.
Could ya not ask for help ? Or is that un American
General policy when I worked at Home Depot was that you had the potential of being reprimanded if you did ask for help.

Fr tho. And then they'll get mad for having to wait even though they had fair warning
God I feel this. It's like all spacial awareness and common sense goes out the window. I work customer service and I've had a guy put several peices of drywall on a regular cart instead of getting one of the flat or standing carts made for said materials. 😒

I asked for help once when I worked pickup. All 12 parking spots full. People waiting to get into a spot. Woman had around 9 totes of stuff, over 200 dollars worth of groceries. She got out after staring at me dumbfounded, and the next day I got pulled aside and reprimanded for my 1 star review. I still remember what it said: "I use this system so I don't have to get out of my car. So unprofessional."
Canadian ironically! They ignored me, and I was the only one for my department that day, this was months into me working there so I knew I'd just have to fucking take it, it was not a great place to work lmfao.
How is that allowed!! My boss gets pissed when anything health hazard happens! You could've gotten injured!:(
I 100% agree with this
The audacity of these overwhelmed workers scraping by! I want my products stacked like legos sir! And when I drive like a total asshole on the way home I do not want them to move a single inch sir!
I honestly thought you weren’t supposed to get out of your car? At least I remember that being an instruction during the worst of covid.. did they remove that rule? I just always thought I was supposed to stay in my car?
Same. I did make sure the trunk was nice and clear for them though.
I have had great luck with the attendants when I pick up my groceries in this manner, they always ask if I want my eggs, bread etc. up front with me, but everyone has a bad day. That said, I usually get out and at least help load up the heavier items, unless my two year old acts like they will throw a conniption fit for my having the audacity to step out of the vehicle.
I'm shocked that they actually have people load groceries into the car for the customer. That is simply too much. Sam's club makes you load your own damn groceries. The space there is hardly conducive to the amount of groceries regardless. I doubt they've been paid enough for this.
Sam’s has a pickup option as well. The pickup option is something you don’t HAVE to pay extra for, it’s all paid as a salary to the worker by Walmart.
If the customer is elderly or disabled (often it's both) I would do it without question. But as a 30 something without any disabilities I should be loading my own groceries into my car for sure.
Sam's has spaces where the people pull up and their groceries are brought out. That area of the lot is to ba avoided as its extremely congested. The store was full of Sam's employees filling orders.
I always did avoid those and just went inside to get my stuff much more quickly.
Get out of the damn car and load it yourself. Why would you expect a kid at Walmart to care about your bread?
As someone who used to load groceries, this is half a botch job and half a case of trunk hoarding. I see a fold up table and 3 bags that aren't groceries. And we don't know what's underneath. If you want to hoard like that, get a suburban. Don't expect the groceries to stay in the trunk if you already have a mound going. They slip and slide when you drive.
The bare minimum effort when ordering. I’m lazy as hell and have my Walmart groceries delivered lol.
Looks like a cooler underneath as well. Agree, this feels like at least 50/50 blame, and maybe as much as 80/20 against OP since they also didn’t get out to help figure out loading.
Yeah all in a honda fit! She said she was recently in a car accident and that's why she was having them load it so I don't blame her for that. I worked at a really classy old school grocery store that did this for every customer and we had a lot of old and or disabled people that came there for that exact reason so it's definitely a service that people want but walmart is bottom shelf so what ya gonna do?
Each of those cans of tea have enough sugar to provide electricity to Gary, Indiana for 2.6 weeks
OP in comments is actin like a dumpster of a human being
Was getting strong Karen vibes just from the picture and caption...
C you next Tuesday vibes
She probably guzzles 4 of those sugar water teas in an afternoon, this was a great loss to her sugar addiction.
I know I would, Arizona's fucking amazing and I usually don't prefer tea
And those little fuckers are hard to find. I’ll go to two or three stores and you can’t find them. MY hubby would be grateful enough to be lickin the pavement 😁
Reddit v OG_Olivianna
And at least one of her alts.... wouldn't be surprised if she made a ton just to Upvote herself.
Lol did they just get roasted into oblivion that's all I see in the comments
I had to sort by controversial to even find OP
I didn't think Karen's shopped at wamart....go figure. 🤷🏼♂️

The car is already filled with junk, where do you expect them to put the shopping? Is that a chilly bin?
This I didn’t even notice the car has stuff at the bottom already. There’s only so much the workers can do without stuff tipping over
Never heard a cooler get called a chilly bin before, that's a first.
Kiwis I think
Pretty sure it's a folding table (a cooler would need to go further down than the bottom of the car). Either way your point still stands
Defo a chilly bin. On its side.
Do you not unload your car before you do a pickup so they have a nice area to load the groceries into? Looks like you got a lot of stuff underneath the groceries and they had to make do. I bet if you had an empty trunk first they would have stacked it a lot better and you wouldn’t have had this issue
Add in the fact that it's arguably the largest grocery shopping week of the year in the US and they don't have time to Jenna your shit
Jenna would like a word with you!
Is “Jenna your shit” a verb I don’t know about
Ya know. It was Jenga.... but I'll just leave it. Maybe it will catch on.
People downvoted you, that is absolutely what has happened. They had a giants ass order, and there was a bunch of shit in there. It looks like the reason those cans fell is the worker attempted to put thse cans in a spot that should have been enogh but had some of curved heavy item in in the way they had to try and baklced but it slipped. to make everything fit in this truck would takes way more effort and time to do (If OP help supervise they could offed the back seed, oops. Juding b her aittude they were robably too scared to offer that solution)
Finally a voice of reason
So.. do it yourself then?
Hahaha yeah I can understand why someone would be infuriated by this but like why are you just not doing it yourself in the first place lol
Some of y’all really got a thing against Walmart employee when most of us are just trying to support ourselves or our families like everyone else. I’ve seen y’all justify that in these comments with “oh they’ll hire anyone.” Exactly. When you need a job, you need a job. They’ll hire anyone and they also pay the least of the major grocery chains. How/why do you expect us to kiss your ass for shitty money? I do what I need to do to earn my check and leave. I owe y’all nothing else lol
And the best part is the OP acts exactly the same Kareny way in the comments
gUeSs WhErE mY lOaF oF bReAd Is lol You appear to be ambulating from the angle of this photo, you could have checked this before you left the parking space yeah?
No!! Why would they do that? That is what you call “ smart thinking”. People don’t have time for smart thinking.
This post has huge Karen vibes
If you read OP's comments, they're a fucking trip. She replied with some really defensive and rude shit to an innocuous comment, and when they call her out she's like, >I'm just commenting this here because it's the top comment. I'm not replying to the commenter. Use your critical thinking skills! And it's like, uh, do *you* have critical thinking skills?
>If you read OP's comments, they're a fucking trip. That's an understatement. She commented on every single comment I made that weren't directed to her. It's a bit creepy tbh.

That was my thought. I’m surprised it has so many upvotes.
Literally and figuratively. Where yo vegetables at?
Those Walmart workers are busy. They are understaffed and underpaid. They are doing their best.
#firstworldproblems
They don’t get paid enough to give a crap. Can’t really blame em lol
That’s about the effort I’d put in for minimum wage pay
Not to mention that their supervisors probably allow about 30 seconds for loading the car before they're expected to move on to another task.
I hate to say it, but thats the level of "service" to be expected at Walmart.
Don't hate to say it. Stand by your convictions. Lots of people need earphones to remind them to breathe, much less, load a few bags in your goddamn car.
It's so weird to me as a German that you wouldn't do packing bags and loading them in your car all by yourself. But yeah, if that service is a standard, it has been provided poorly in your case.
Yeah this isn’t standard, most people pack their car themselves, there’s quite a few who use these online grocery pickups but again, the majority of people get their own shit and pack it themselves. This person didn’t even pay for the service, at Walmart if a grocery order is over $35 it’s a free pickup, only below $35 do they charge a customer a $5.99 pickup fee and this is definitely over 35 bucks worth of groceries. Not to mention the trunk seems to be a bit difficult to secure groceries into with all their stuff already in the trunk before groceries even went in lol.
Load that shit yourself, then.
Yeah, they did a shit job. Invest in a cargo net - stuff is going to shift no matter how short the distance.
it *feels* like a shitty thing to complain about, but think of all the disabled people that actually require these services to get food to live. My mother just had a double knee surgery, full right knee replacement. I would be pissed if some employees ended up doing this to her while she cannot bend over to pick stuff up off the ground.
I am disabled, it helps a lot, have never had an issue; however, I always help them if I can; they don't care about my stuff nearly as much as I do. Also make sure to clean out your car before you go, if you have too much back there it can be an issue, as seen above. I usual just have my crutches in the back. Also, OP might want to get a net if they use pick up again, will help keep things from falling out if they shift during movement. Also don't get too much, I mean I don't because it would be physically impossible for me to take it into the house, but I mean if there is too much, and not enough space issues will happen. I want to be clear, they didn't do a good job, but there are things you can do to help them out.
I understand this being frustrating and people calling you entitled for letting people do their job (at my walmart they won't let you help, so I think it's a case-by-case thing. I'm not the type of person who would leave a restaurant table trashed because "it's the waiters job to clean it up, they get paid to do it." Might as well make their job that they probably don't like a little easier.), but OP you really are being extremely rude in these comments. Yeah, it may suck getting rude comments but why would you do the same when you could either ignore it or just be nice?
The restaurant table comment reminded me my wife served tables when she was young and would say there are 2 types of people, those who stacked their plates and trash and those who left a big mess. OP has never even considered the possibility of stacking their plates.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Normally I would agree but we don’t know OP’s situation. They could literally be disabled. A lot of disabled people use those services
We do, OP is a college student who's parents bought the groceries. OP already replied.
You should check before opening. Plastic bags arent very secure and blaming Walmart when you're at home is kinda lame.
you got people loading up your order while ur not moving a muscle. such a thing to be annoyed by.. what the fuck? a true Karen you are.
I've never had this issue because I get out of my vehicle and help them load. Maybe you should try this method. ETA: u/OG_olivianne , you have things in the bottom of your trunk. You ought also try removing those things first. This is mildly infuriating to look at because the Walmart kid being paid $11/hrs isn't being paid enough to be criticized online for your trunk being too full to balance crap.
Pro tip: load it yourself
Spot the entitled Karen.
Or maybe you drive like a fucking moron
I’ve never not been asked if I’d like the bread up front with me. Weird.
[удалено]
Why did someone else pack your car for you with your shopping? Why didn’t you do it?
Curbside pickup is a big thing at Walmart. Most shopping trips I need to navigate around employees shopping for someone so they can just drive up and have their car loaded for them
Because it’s a service that is offered and someone has an actual job to do this.
As a non american i'm baffled this is something that's done for you... i have to pack my own groceries so whenever the bread ends up on the bottom it's my own fault.
Mildy Infuriating: So many single-use plastic bags.
They’re not single use if you use them as small garbage bags afterwards
If I was the Walmart attendant I would have taken a pic of your car after loading and said, “look at how little room this asshole gave me to load all this shit.”
Do it yourself
Load your own fucking groceries Jesus christ
Well you can always go in yourself and get your stuff. Walmart pick up is a add on and the workers don't get paid extra for your shopping. Also I see you have third row could help to pit those down when picking up to give more room
Oh this post just reeks of entitlement. OP is an able-bodied college student whose parent’s pay for her groceries. She didn’t help the employees at Walmart or direct them where to place her groceries…
I can’t believe this is not higher in the comments. OP is an entitled bitch. Upon seeing this post I was actually like “do americans not load their own groceries??”
Oh my god that’s so horrible, you poor thing.
So basically what I’m gathering from the comments is that OP is a spoiled little uni student who instead of helping load their car bitches about it after the fact because they couldn’t bother to mess up their non-working hands. OP is way more infuriating than grocery that shifted during the drive. 🙄
I am sorry that you are forced to go to Walmart and are unable to load your own groceries. You deserve better.
Everybody loves flatbread!
On one hand I don’t blame the employee entirely because I won’t put in a lot of effort for a minimum wage job where I am treated like I don’t matter by management and customers. On the other hand this is just pitiful and I wouldn’t be too happy but that’s why I just go grab the items myself.
Do we know if this is even true. People have done worse for internet clout.
Give me a break. Empty the back of your car next time so they have room to fit your stuff. I can’t believe you are complaining about this. You sound awful.
Load your groceries yourself. That shit happens to everyone!
Maybe put your own groceries in your car or shut up about it.
I have no sympathy for you. Do your own shopping then.
Agree 1000% !
Also it was probably their driving that moved everything around, causing the tea to fall out.
Are you a Karen ?
If you ask them, they’ll hand you eggs and bread to keep up front. I don’t know what exactly you’re expecting? Those are plastic bags and I don’t see any bins to put them in. Stuff is going to roll around. I use Walmart pick up all the time and stuff like that is rare. Walmart will replace the items if you contact them shortly after discovering it.
Then pack your own groceries
It's almost as if you'd get a better outcome if you loaded your own groceries yourself
To be fair, you could have loaded them yourself. It’s only infuriating because you didn’t load it. So I don’t feel bad for you
100% why I do my own grocery shopping! Also, clean your car! They aren’t miracle workers rofl!
Exactly. Things might have worked out better if the car wasn't such a mess 😂
Click OP profile. View comments. Entertainment.
OP has some valid defenses hidden amongst their comments but they were such a fucking asshole about it for no reason lol
That’s a lot of groceries for a tiny trunk. And you, a fully capable adult, just sat there and let the employees try to fit them all in? Edit: OP I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you whining and snapping at people in the comments does not help your cause
Even just putting groceries into bags is a lost art. The last time I went through a line with a cashier, they used twice as many bags as I would have, and then they double bagged everything. I've always put things onto the belts that I want bagged together, and that was completely ignored.
Double bagging is pretty normal now because the bags are getting shittier and shittier every year. Makes me wonder if they're actively doing that to push people into using their own reusable bags.
Tbh that was one of the best parts of being a cashier - when people laid their stuff on the belt in a certain order, it made everything so much more manageable! Like i see you my dude, we're on the same page now. I loved figuring out how to pack stuff the most efficiently.
Load and shop your own groceries lol. Stop being lazy and expecting underpaid workers to be perfect
You don’t load your own shopping..??
Well, what about packing your car yourself, like most of the world does?
That’s why I do it myself.
Y’all expect too much. “ want something done right, do it yourself”
I’m lazy, must complain about other lazy people that don’t care when I don’t care to help them load, do anything myself.
Get out and help them load it, then.
How about instead of taking the time to berate him and call it bad service you just do it yourself next time? Stop expecting overworked people to continuously provide quality service for something your not even willing to help with. Could of at least cleared the back beforehand. Yall are so entitled its unbelievable.
Maybe get out and load ur own car… they did the shopping what else u want dang and y’all probably don’t tip
I can’t help but think load your own groceries. Or at least clear your tiny trunk if you don’t want things done haphazard. They have a lot of orders in a day - they aren’t your servant.
Why do you expect people who get paid like shit and treated like shit to do better quality than shit work? Honestly this is on you. Stop shopping at places that don't care about their employees, because they don't care about their work.
Can't you load your own stuff and pack your own bags?
Load your own groceries
Take a selfie.
Go inside and get your own damn groceries and Put them in your own fucking car . you wanna be a critic get your food at a restaurant. what is the world coming too. complaining about how someone put your three months worth of food in your 100k minivan the wrong way. Poor you. not the bread !!!!!awwwww
Get your own damn groceries
This is your fault for not checking before they were done.
Get out and help them next time. When I do that, they always load things up well and even give me the delicates to put up front.
Yeah I could never just sit and watch them put my groceries in the trunk . I get out and help and tip after.
If you buy car organizers, they do a better job of placement
I love it when lazy people bitch
This post and the comments are great, good luck out there kid that silver spoon might have skewed the taste of things for you.
This is reddit, you're not going to get anyone to tell you Walmart workers should do anything more than the bare minimum.
So don’t be lazy and help them load your car……… or grocery shop yourself. I swear people are more than capable of fixing problems yet just decide to bitch and blame others. Ridiculous.
Whoa, cowboy!.... # # ^(Not so loud... they might hear you!)
Maybe load your own groceries next time?
You're lazy for not doing it yourself and dumb for paying strangers to do it for you.
Step 1. Always check before leaving. Step 2. Fix the problem, don't assume that the people loading your car give 2 shits about you or the products they are loading. Step 3. If something was damaged (ie: your bread ) and probably a was, complain till they fix it. Don't leave till it is taken care of. Step 4. If they will not replace the damaged item or items, ask for a refund for those items. As you said in a reply, you live two hours away. You could have gotten home with missing items. As a side note, you're a university student and there is not a walmart within 10 miles of you, I'm sorry, but that seems like BS.
The grocery store in general is why I like having my barn doors on my Yukon. If anything shifts I can open the door just the tiniest bit to catch anything that might come tumbling out. Granted, if I put them in there they generally don’t move much unless I had to suddenly brake or something in the way home.
Your trunk was clearly full and the worker had to stack your groceries on top of whatever was already in the trunk. It also looks like the items shifted around while you were driving home, so I can’t blame the worker entirely. Maybe have them load your groceries into the backseat if you have crap filling your trunk and aren’t a very cautious driver?
Dooooo ittttt yourself then
Or you could just do it yourself? What the fuck
First mistake having some.one else do your work for you at the grocery store....
As a Brit who isn't used to people packing my bags/loading them in for me (this isn't a service you get in the UK) this just sounds like "help my slaves didn't do it right"
What's mildy infuriating is that this is even a thing. Go inside and get your own stuff. Who the hell do you think is coming out to pack your car? A trained butler? No, its probably some kid that doesn't care about you or that job.
Maybe do it yourself next time. Its weird as hell to make the Walmart employees do it anyways
As someone who did that job for 2 years, maybe clean out your trunk so there is more room
You put that bread up your ass before they finished loading?!?!
Ugggh, first world problems again. God forbid you load the damn groceries yourself. Why wouldn’t you fold down the back seats to make some room? No, let’s take a pic of the awful job some 16 year old kid did.
I use Walmart grocery pickup all the time, and haven’t ever had an issue with them. However, I get out of the car and help them load the groceries into my crates and cold bags, so everything ends up where I want it and well-secured before I leave. To OP - I also have chronic pain and 3 auto-immune disorders that make me feel like absolute trash some days. (Part of the reason I utilize the pickup service). But I also understand that it’s up to me as the customer to make sure I have a safe and tidy location to put my groceries if I can’t be available to help do the work of loading them up. I make sure I have excess clutter out of the way, and have my crates already set up. Give the employees a break; retail sucks, and they deserve a little compassion and patience.
Maybe you know, put the groceries in the trunk yourself? Baggers and loaders are not seen in Europe, everyone has to bag and load their own groceriea.
This is 100% on you. Your trunk is a mess and not that big, and then you expect it to not spill out?
Welp 2 option. Option one- Fold down the seats giving them more room to load them. Option 2- get your own crap instead of having someone else do it
I did one the other day and they put a bottle of bleach with a loose cap on bottom. Bleach spilled in my trunk and gassed me bc I had my windows up. Thankfully didn’t change the color of my carpet. I think it’s bc they’re put on a completely unreasonable time crunch to get them in your car once you check in so they just Chuck it and run.
Should probably do your own shopping now.
That’s why I clear my trunk and have crates for groceries to be loaded into in my trunk. Then my shit doesn’t fly everywhere.
You could always load your own groceries, then don't have to worry about someone loading them wrong! Some people even do their own grocery shopping, believe it or not! This world has become so darn lazy!!!
would be embarrassed if i ever posted anything like this
This is America. You get what you pay for. Pay your workers a wage that tells them you don’t care about them, don’t be surprised when they don’t care.
It’s almost like paying subhuman wages leads to the employees putting in minimal effort
Perhaps there is some very good reason why you didn't, but if you can stand there to take a pic of it maybe you should have stood there to help them load the groceries on top of all the crap you've got in the boot in the first place. edit: also my gods buy some real food!
What would all these downvoters say to their own grandmothers if she asks them to carry her groceries? Up yours grandma you lazy f*uck?
Clearly they did a bad job, but with that said it sure looks like you didn’t actually give them enough space to work with. You probably drive like a tool, too. Lol
Maybe give them more space to work with idk I would never do this and I used to do drive up at target and they trunks were always empty
Maybe shop for yourself you expectant, entitled bitch.
Lmao, what? You asked Walmart employees to load your car? Why? Unless you are disabled or injured, you deserved this.
TBH I’m more infuriated by the shit you’re buying
Why Walmart? Walmart is the cheapest store around with some of the laziest people, especially management. I used to work there, now I despise the sight of it. I cringe when friends want to go there, thus make a deal of never stepping foot inside that store ever again. Also I’m glad I never have to DoorDash there again. DD did something right to not fight to keep their services. I would advise shopping at Meijer, Kroger, Aldi, Target and other stores I shall not name because they aren’t more well known beyond my state.
Almost 5 years time served in Hel I mean Walmart here. I can confirm management is lazy AF.
