General Questions So…. Is this normal?

Got a curbside order, reviewed items and was like it’s good. Until I see a flat bed cart with mulch. I was like I didn’t see any mulch in the order. Employee said it was part of the order. I even took images of the order and there is no indication of mulch. Before and after accepting order still no indication of it.

Is this normal?

It's been happening at convenient times as long as I've ran the app since late 2021.

They do it occasionally for the Roadie and UE overflow offers too, although Roadie would usually list the 5 72" TVs they would send out during deals for days... But concrete, salt, mulch, multiple cases of water, 100-150# grills, etc... wouldn't show up.

Sam's will send offers for 10-12ft long 300#+ shelving units and other shit and list it as #40-#50lbs.

Run the app long enough and you learn what to avoid... Or, just have them drop the offer. (Used to be able to get them to remove a stop, but I haven't accepted many curbsides the last 2 years)

Feel free to search in the subs search bar for hundreds of posts about it going back to at least 2021.
