LYC: Adventures in curbside pickup. We had a bunch of stuff to get this weekend so I did quite a few orders.

Home Depot: Curbside is SLOW to bring things out. Typically I'm waiting 15-20 minutes outside for them to get to me. Went inside for the last item.

Target: 4 hour pickup via app is SO good. Prices are higher than other stores but on the last order, the person was at my car window before I could even park the car. They were out of one item I asked for and gave the option to ship but we needed it today so...

Office Depot: 1 hour pickup. Item was ready in basically 5 minutes. Pickup was easy and basically like Chipotle/Noodles on a shelf in the store.

Walmart Grocery: Still fantastic but they use a metric shitton of plastic bags. I think their ratio is like 1 bag per 2 items. Just insane.

I'm loving Target pickup so much I just might never go back into a store...

The only order pickup I find consistent are ones with lockers. Dealing with people just ugh -- nm - budice Aug 31, 09:36 3
- Target is getting consistently better. Their app does like Walmart now where you tell them you're on the way. I think that's the differentiator - oblique Aug 31, 09:38 2
  - I just find retail staffers moreso DGAF since the pandemic began. Everyone's worried about job, health and getting paid. Overheard some talking hours based on seniority. -- nm* - budice Aug 31, 09:45
  - the grocery store I have used that feature, and yet I constantly have to wait as they find the order. - tRuMaN Aug 31, 09:40
