I declined šÆ
Would you take this? I feel like itās a trick and that time estimate is a lie. 12 drop offs? How do I keep track of them? I tried doing Walmart pickups at this store and it always takes them a zillion years. I learned my lesson.

I wouldāve taken it. Iāve done pet food drop off with that many stops that didnāt pay as much. Still worth the money as all youāre doing is drop off one after the other.

Although, the final drop off point wouldāve been a factor too. I donāt wanna end up 40 miles away from home at the end.

Then cancel that one but take the others⦠you can see all your drop off addresses ahead of time. Find the ones that 40 miles and cancel and only take the 11

And there's me hating multiple orders of 2 or more because so often they say the foods been stolen, mostly McDonald's because the staff are useless and can't be bothered to check drivers phones to make sure they're collecting the correct order, and tell me to cancel, it's ridiculous.

Even if it took you four hours and most markets thatās a good order, especially if itās like in a slow point of the day

I turned off all walmart/lowes/home depot type orders by talking to support. itās been a good decision so far as these orders are never worth it in my area.

I feel like the people who are saying they'd take it don't know how inconvenient the Walmart orders are and how inaccurate the ā10-15 bagsā estimate is. I had one that was 10-15 bags and it was 2 orders o e was 7 bags plus toilet paper and the other was like 30 bags and took up my whole trunk

No lie the only thing for me is my knee but thatās reoccurring since high school football. Most hours I did was 11 in a day and beside feeling like shit mentally, the drive doesnāt hurt me as much. I also have a suv that fits me perfectly so I donāt stress to much in or out.
I would not do this shit with a car lol. That bend to get in and out everytime would kill me.

Even if it takes 30 mins to load itās gonna be 30/hr more than likely. Probably 12 smaller orders or even single items. Just ask before you pick up to make sure. They can probably tell you pretty quickly.
