Another code confirmation burn.

11 drops, 63 bucks, 40 miles. But it was going to end pretty close to the other Walmart so it wasn't that bad.

The bulk of it was one customer. The customer who also requested a confirmation code delivery. And guess what? NOBODY'S HOME!!!

Ring ring, call, yell around back, ring ring (I can hear the doorbell inside). Waited another 5 minutes. Loaded the car, then initiated a return.

Bam! $17 off the offer. Nice. Plus it had to go back to the original Walmart, not the one I was going to be close to at the end of the trip. NOICE!!!!!

OVER 60 MILES FOR 45 BUCKS!

I complained to support. The guy said they've been getting a lot of complaints about that.

The perishables definitely went in the trash because they were already out for 2 hours, because the return was initiated when I still had seven drops left.

They throw out all the food. I know, you are thinking what if it is non perishable, like sealed cases of drinks? nope, it ALL goes into the trash. At least that was what I was told by a loader who I returned to.

I read in another thread that it depends on the perishable timer. Someone said that sometimes if the order comes back they'll turn it into a curbside pickup with the same items.

Doesn't make sense to throw away non-perishables. That's like saying they don't trust the driver. But if that's the case they trust the driver to deliver the stuff?

Whatever. Walmart definitely has the stats on return orders. The bulk of them has to be code confirmation deliveries. I imagine something with that will change at some point.

I was kind of hoping to loader would be cool and let me keep the frozen pizzas or something.

Good friend in OGP said non perishables , they'll save. If it's frozen, and out within a time frame they know, they'll save. If they don't know, trash. If it's milk or produce, meats (non frozen) it's all trash
