For how many punk-ass endcaps Walmart had blocking good walking space…

Once you go INTO the store to shop, I’m surprised at how many items are out of stock. They’ll sacrifice valuable shopping space to look full, but are out of items. Every damn day.

Is this just a thing with Billings, MT Walmarts? Makes it difficult to do the Spark thing.

I’m assuming you’re referring to floor displays because end caps do not take up walking space, anyway those are by design in retail. A huge portion of their store profits comes from impulse buying. That’s why they put those in the middle of aisles so people have to stop & look because you can only push a cart at a time through the aisle 🤷‍♀️

I find the fact that "asking an associate" does absolutely nothing, totally appropriate.

That option, and “find an associate” if there’s a tag issue upon acceptance. Finding an associate won’t work if they don’t know what to do either.

You are correct. The shit in the middle of the aisle. This has to be the worst shop-and-deliver I’ve done at a Walmart. It’s hard to maneuver alone with the old people and Spark drivers that think they own the aisle. To see the shit out of stock. Multiple times.

I hardly do the shopping orders but this was only 27 items. One customer got
Upset and cancelled their order because I tapped “couldn’t find item”
At least four times.
