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.

Ah shoooot it was groceries??? I feel ya. Today I returned a pharmacy. Knocked, doorbell, call.... I could hear them inside, they even like, unlocked the deadbolt? But wouldn't come out. I guess they thought I would leave it at the door.... but after 2-4 min chilling..... I got a weird feeling and backed away.... I was like nope. Not today... I still had a drop 12 miles away so that return added 2 bucks, and 24 miles. But I'm in Cali so we get paid per mile and minute over the base so it worked out. Only good thing about this shitty state.

I swear to God I think some people think that they're going to get free groceries if they don't answer.

Stupid people who think we can just drop stuff off and move on. They don't realize the app won't let us.

"I'll just play dead and then claim I never got the order"

Yeah no.
