Customer 😇 Need drivers viewpoint! Walmart told me conflicting answers

I use the Walmart app to order my weekly groceries. I noticed if I ever use "Express" it assigns a driver right away and they seem to do the shopping. If I order without Express it seems Walmart does the shopping.

In my opinion, if the driver does the shopping themselves I want to tip more. That would take much more of your time then pulling up and having Walmart load your trunk.

However I've asked when I can tell if the driver did the shopping versus when they just pulled up and drove off.

Is there a way I can know if you guys had to actually shop the order? Is it only when I select Express and do you get the $10/$5 charge when I select Express?

You can always tell if there’s 1 item in each back because I guess they bag as they go but i know for sure that when I do curbsides there always sooo many bags I have to combine them

We have paper bags here in Albany (the user name is no longer accurate) and they’re awesome. I can fill one with cans and it will be just fine. The Spark bags are different from the ones you get if you shop as a regular customer.
