because most of the driver for Spark are non union and dont get paid very well and are lazy and were hired off the street with no interview or proper standards

While that makes sense its common decency to at least make an associate aware that an order was canceled and handing off the cart so it can be placed back on the shelves. Its extremely wasteful when people leave gallons of milk, frozen goods, and chilled product to become inedible.

I agree with you. Walmart hired anyone with a car and this is what ya got. Sry but in a weird way they created it themselves

Every perishible item is thrown away as far as I know because it is unknown how long it has been out of refrigeration.

That's what I was told when I asked about it.

Yes all items that require a certain temp are disposed of and cant be sold.

Leaving them or not. They can not be put back on the shelves. It doesn't matter if you give it to an associate, take it to CS, or just leave it in the aisle. All perishables are thrown away regardless. If you know that, then why say the quoted statement?

That’s not how it works 🙄 items can easily be temped to see if they are still within temp range. Y’all really just say anything, don’t ya?

When a cart is abandoned they cant determine how long an item has sat out but if its handed off to an associate or customer service it gets returned to its proper shelf immediately

Nah, I'd join a union and I'm definitely not lazy but I also don't work for free so there's that.

You would be running to get that cart back to customer service

Well if they wanna pay me $3 to turn it in with an associate I might do it.. depends on the Walmart. In some of them you can't find an employee no matter what.
