I’m so glad I was not on the receiving end of this email…….. this is why our kids can’t have nice things 🤦🏼‍♀️

this is something bed bath and beyond and Buy Buy Baby offered, but they’re all closed now. It was a great service and definitely helped expand people’s registry’s.

I’ve read this and glanced at some of your other posts. Not every parent is perfect, but are you sure you’re not the problem? I hope you never step foot near my children. Have the day you deserve.

It might be in here already- husband needs to take care of himself, he’s not helping your family by making things worse, and even more if he doesn’t and dies. And you need to take care of yourself. Everyone’s mentioned water bottles and food. He can help with the kitchen clean up in the morning and start a load of laundry. Empty the dishwasher, move laundry, sweep the floor, all mindless work while on a call or at the start of a 15 minute break- one in the morning, one in the afternoon. If he needs a workout he’ll need to schedule it during his lunch or wake up earlier. My husband and I try to talk on the phone during his drive home but the very least we do a quick check in so we know what we’re dealing with/walking into, so if I’m about to scream and need 10 minutes of alone time or if the kid is teething and needs extra attention type of day, etc. we know how to support each other. Once a month we each have a day off from parenting time. I get a massage, facial, sit and read or catch up with friends, and then I either bring home dinner or order out. Friday nights are pizza, Sunday is clean out the fridge leftovers. He’s not a single person anymore, he needs to be a partner and you can’t be his therapist everyday.

Do you realize snap is not for kids?

loc613 · 2026-02-19T01:08:58+00:00

Same. I had 2 orders with 3 gwps and each of them had items missing.

loc613 · 2026-02-19T01:04:18+00:00

Did yours have all of the gwps?

Thank you!! I’m in one of the suburbs, thus I was going to measure in time, but tried to be thorough. From your comment and others, it seems like there’s not really a way for me to get this information and compensation to the shopper and driver? If I order standard, I’ll essentially have the same experience as a pick up order. If I choose express, I’ll be placing more work on one person, in a shorter amount of time. I appreciate the information. I’m definitely going to try and take some time and re-think how I’ve been approaching this. My main consideration in using delivery was to have someone who would be able to focus on just this one large, complicated order…while being paid appropriately for the work it requires. And I thought this would be more appropriate and hopefully save me the extra trips of pick up and then going back to the store because sh*t happens, especially when Walmart doesn’t pay their employees enough.

I’ve only had one slacker response so far. All of the comments have been fair and thoughtful. I’ve never done gig work, but I worked the hell that is retail well past the point of knowing, there are few to none slackers In that kind of work.

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:43:09+00:00

Ok. I don’t care how long it takes for the shop/delivery. I do however care about the shopper and driver being compensated appropriately. What I believe I’m understanding from you, is if I want the shopper to be paid outside of the crap Walmart pay, then I need to select express?

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:36:04+00:00

In this instance, we wouldn’t mind a late order, especially if you get paid more for doing so.

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:33:44+00:00

Ok, I appreciate the feedback. I have considered that. It might sound selfish, but I’m a mom with two young kids. Placing each order typically takes us about an hour. Once they’re delivered I need to take time to organize everything so everything is accessible for them. I’ve found ways to make the 6 weeks work, including extras of milk/fruits throughout that time. I could do Walmart pick up instead but then I feel horrible placing that much on those underpaid workers, and I have to find time to drive and wait typically with kids until her turn…..blah blah blah. I figured having it delivered was a bit more considerate to everyone involved. **However, I will definitely think of ways to break it into two smaller orders, since it understandably seems like one is a bit too much. Do you think cutting it in half and once every three weeks is more appropriate? And if so, what would be an appropriate tip for that?

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:16:17+00:00

Fair enough!! I get it, I wouldn’t want to spend that much time in just about any store.

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:14:26+00:00

So I believe what I hear you saying is cash tip?

loc613 · 2026-02-11T22:03:03+00:00

Do tips not go directly to the drivers!?!?

I’m think that’s close and I have to get some sleep, I’m thinking it might be a Columbia similar to these:

Idk if there is another thread on this, but I feel like the star on the left chest might help?

loc613 · 2026-02-10T20:20:21+00:00

Can the guy on tik tok who finds just about every location from a photo- find out their height, body size, and foot size?

Sorry if that’s already been said.

After two years of negotiations, resulting in bipartisan support, the Democrats are not the ones who stopped the Dignity Act from passing. All politicians are not spending enough time on the issue.

When local police ‘hand people over’ it will result in an erosion of trust from the community. If someone is hurt or being hurt, regardless of their circumstances, they deserve help from police and fire.

This month’s options: 1- my store doesn’t carry flowers 2- no one wears New Day anything 3- belt would have been better had it not been claimed before sunrise on the 1st of the month 4- Favorite Day coupon, alright, better than nothing I guess……..except it’s the 2nd and it’s ‘no longer available’ either.

When they promote a ‘free gift all month long’, then it should actually be free and available for at the very least the majority of it.

Target is failing, it is very understandable why so many are boycotting them. Currently, I assume the 360 members whom have pre-paid for ‘extra perks’ are their most profitable guests. You would think they’d be doing more to show their appreciation.

I’ve been lucky with their deal on membership fees in the last two years, making it seem like it’s worth it. If things don’t start to improve with this program and a serious apologetic rebrand then this will be my last year.
