Walmart To Deliver Groceries and Put Them In Your Fridge If You're Gone, Would You Use This Service?

Maybe I'm old fashioned in this respect, and I will take advantage of home grocery delivery when I'm no longer able to drive or walk to the supermarket.....but use a code to get in your front door and put the stuff in the refrigerator for you? I dunno, this seems to be overkill to me.

Are people these days depending too much on technology and as a result just getting too lazy to do anything independently on their own? Would you use this service and have a Walmart delivery person in your home just to put some bacon and tomatoes in your refrigerator because you weren't there? I'm not that trusting, are you?
 

Nope! I'm not even ready for home delivery yet, I like to go to the store and get my own groceries. I'd use home delivery only as a last resort.

If I was bedridden for whatever reason, I might have to use that service because I'd have to have someone put the food that was delivered away.

Pickles won't do it. :)
 
Pickles might help eat the bacon! :love_heart: I agree, if I was bedridden and couldn't get the groceries from the front door to the refrigerator, then I might use that service. But if I was that bad off, I'd probably have someone I trusted there caring for my needs. I'm like you, I prefer to pick out my produce and other items, check sell by dates, etc.
 

I rather doubt that us folks on SF are the target demographic for this marketing effort. Maybe my 20-something grandsons.
 
Awesome service for those who need it. Could mean fewer motorized shopping carts in the isles. Good that markets have those, but those that do need to widen the isles a few inches.

Surely Walmart will "vet" the delivery people.
 
Nope. I saw something about this on TV.

First of all, I'm not crazy about WalMart groceries. I buy other things from WalMart, but usually not groceries....never meats or produce.

If my schedule and lifestyle needed it, I'd pay an assistant or housekeeper to do those things. The idea of a service like this just doesn't sit well with me.

I definitely wouldn't want someone picking out my groceries much less putting them in my refrigerator. The Walmart in my area has horrible groceries as well as over priced. I picked up celery once,held it upright and the stalks were so wilted the leaves bent over and touched the root area.
 
I order on line at my local super market and it has made life a lot easier for me and my husband. Sometimes I make them deliver it if it's a large order and sometimes I pick up the order at the market. They have it already and put it in the car. A lot of times if you buy certain items delivery is free of charge. Having said this there is no way I would order food from Walmart. The market is a much better place in my opinion.
 
At this point the idea of giving a Walmart employee access to my home terrifies me.

As my world gets smaller and I head towards independent living I find the idea sort of comforting.

I guess maybe the closer I get to the cemetery the less I have to lose, LOL!!!
 
It's been years since I've even had a pizza delivered, and the last time I did that I screwed it up as I didn't know I was suppose to tell them when I ordered that I was going to pay with a credit card.
I have bought groceries at WalMart, but only because it was convenient. I would not buy all of my groceries (and/or cleaning supplies) from WalMart.
The only way I would let any stranger into my home when I'm not there would be to have security cameras in every room.
 
Absolutely not. Complete strangers getting into your home when you are not there, supposedly to "deliver groceries?" What could go wrong?
 
Our Walmart is not a "super"Walmart so food there is limited. But for canned or boxed goods, cleaning and paper supplies, it's great. I actually prefer their cottage cheese and heavy cream. No, I would never want anyone putting my groceries in the fridge.
 
No, that's a crime waiting to happen. I would have said yes if we were living in the 50's in small-town America maybe...but Walmart didn't open until the 60's anyway. It's interesting to note that the Target corporation started in 1902 and Kmart started in 1899. Well, maybe it's not that interesting :rolleyes:

No i wouldn't, i agree with you.
 
I needed that service when I broke my foot and ankle and if I had heard of it then I'd let them do it. I don't need it now. I do my own grocery shopping but I can see how some would love this service if they were incapacitated as I was.
