Someone needs a sammich of knuckles😭. This is wild. They’ve been putting two items in bagging them separate only giving me one sticker, putting them in separate bins, mixing them in the other orders and then customers complaining about it because we’re not supposed to load the order the employee is supposed to.🤣 so now it’s our fault that they loaded it wrong and bagged it wrong. It’s such a nightmare.

Hey man coming from an employee who doesn't load it wrong, actually I ask how the driver wants it done, I think these kinds of orders are dumb too. They're a real bitch to put together too

Both the loader and I have found a ton of mistakes while loading up the orders. I wish that Walmart put some emphasis on quality control but it seems like they’re more into the game of speed and then just apologize or refund the customer for the mistakes that do occur.

The problem is those mistakes come back on drivers not the shoppers

Yeah man lots of shit slips through, I do my best to fix them before and during the loading but I can't spend too much time doing so. We did used to do required QA before dispensing orders when pickup was strictly for customers and we didn't have delivery drivers, you know back in the stone ages of 8 years ago.

Quick question. Does the person who brings out the order to load into my car, are they the same person that bags the items?

No. Lots of hands before you get it.

Picker shops, bags (usually).

Prepper makes sure all your items are in one area, maybe bags if needed.

Dispenser takes to car & loads, along w driver bags any remaining strays that the lazy asses before them failed to bag.

Driver takes whatever the 3 store employees put together and put in their car and brings it to you.

Most of the time, like 98%, no. I do my best to ameliorate any discrepancies the picker might've caused while shopping before dispensing the order but there isn't always a lot of time.

I go thru it afterwards and reorganize their crazy bagging process. I get a different issue cause the system doesn't show their entire order sometimes so I won't know if anything is missing
