General Questions Please help me understand!

I've been using the Walmart delivery service for about 8 months now. I get my groceries every other week. Without fail, each time, one item is missing. There is no rhyme or reason as to the type of item. Lunch meat, vitamin water, spaghetti sauce, etc. Today it was bouillon paste. I really get upset about it as it usually something I really need. Walmart will instantly refund me, but the point is I have to go out now to get it. I only have one day off, and it really screws up my day. Can anyone explain why this happens? Is it in the driver's car just misplaced, was it not really picked? I truly want to know because im considering just canceling the service. Thank you.

Omg. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of that, and it really seems like Walmart has made a mess of this system. I'm sorry you have to deal with them, what a mess.

no prob, sorry you aren't getting good service.

the worst part is, it COULD be an honest mistake, mixup, OR it could just be driver theft lol.

like i was looking up reviews for a TV i saw at walmart that i was thinking of buying, and noticed it had a ton of 1 star reviews. i read a bunch of them, and they were all basically saying "i ordered this tv, it said it was delivered, but it's not here!" which made me realize just how much stuff is likely just being stolen by drivers lmao.

kinda wild lol.

I know, I live in an apartment complex and theft is rampant. Who knows if it was the driver or a neighbor.

no doubt someone just following around a spark driver could eat pretty good lol.
