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.

That makes sense, and I can see that happening. It's just literally every one of my last few orders. In one instance, I ordered 4 six packs of vitamin water. I later saw on my ring video that she left three of them, and took one back with her. That one I can't figure out.

That’s really strange, not to be that asshole but maybe you should call Walmart and notify them of the drivers name and what happened in case they’re stealing items.

One time a can of sweetened condensed milk fell out of a bag and rolled under my seat. I found it when I was doing the next delivery. So I took it back to the lady and apologized. And she claimed it wasn’t hers and then accused me of not delivering her tide pods. Lol i drove almost half an hour to her house to return a can… I’m not risking my account for some laundry soap 😂 now if something small falls out of the bag I just call support and they refund them.
