      Explains why the item substitutions on my Walmart orders are so fucking nutty (like I wanted blueberries, but they didn’t have a specific brand I clicked on, so they give me raspberries but of the same brand, instead of another brand of blueberries).

      “I hate the Waltons, which is why I am working to bring Walmart down from the inside.”

        Perhaps not always consciously, but yeah, I’m sure they’re pressured for speed and paid as little as legally possible.

        Did a Walmart pickup order around Thanksgiving because I didn’t want to fight the crowds, they substituted Lemon Jell-O for vanilla pudding, because the boxes are kinda the same color?

        Anyway, that was the last time I did a pickup order, so I guess they won?
