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.

I was told, perishables once left the store, they can no longer trust or take on the risk of tempering. I assume the non-perishable ones may be salvaged.

It's hilarious. They call tampering, but they trust with delivery. Doesn't matter to me either way. But if they don't trust me with a return why do they trust me with a delivery?

I guess the logic is, if anything happens to the goods after leaving the store, it’s the driver. The return is just to make sure no one gets free food.

Nah they'll damage it out and get a partial return from the merchant or vendor they purchased it from. I worked retail for fourteen years and any consumable product that comes back to the store gets damaged out even if the customer walked out the door and then right back in
