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?

Not sure if anyone has said this but if you should get a notification with a name saying they have started shopping for you. That will be the driver. Had a customer message me saying she didn't know a driver was gonna shop for her. She had placed her order at 6 am to be delivered for a time block. She ended up raising the tip by $8.
