My food shopping experience... Not what you'd expect!

When shopping you should always try to park as close to the main entrance as possible because there's more pedestrian traffic. Not perfect but still the best idea. I was parked at the upper end of the lot so very few people walking by.

In today's World getting "involved" means recording things on your smartphone to post online. If the roles were reversed these same people would be screaming for help. Karma doesn't take sides in ones life.

I park as far out as I can to avoid door dings. I never park next to anyone.

When Walmart was open 24 hours, I'd go around 2AM. I've found in my location the best time to go is around 7PM Monday thru Thursday.
 
Smoke missed the point of my comment.

except for the rude employees filling pickup orders.

Demolition Derby at Walmart

They approach at Crash Cart Speed with their huge cart showing little regard for any/all in their intended path. Practicing for a Demolition Derby.

I go grocery shopping no later than 9:30a.m.. That pretty much secures me a spot in handicapped parking right in front of the door of the store. Problem is since early shopping is light there's usually only one real person checkout open. I welcomed when the stores opened self checkouts last year. Most other early shopping old farts avoid them. One of the 19yr old girls that monitors the self checkouts told me a drugged out homeless freak body slammed her to the cement floor mid day a couple weeks ago. No one came to her aid. I have no doubt a the creep was a Chicago transplant demoing his communication skills.

Not disagreeing with you but...

Haven't had any issue with pickers at my store. I do know that when I used to pick up my orders they told me that they only had a certain amount of time to fill it hence the constant rotation of junior employees into that position. No excuse for their behavior but in your case we're talking about Walmart. Their customers are like a meandering herd of buffalo from the moment they get out of their cars. Just another day at the amusement park for them.

I complained to Corporate numerous times about the incorrect orders received and their system in general. I received several monetary credits from those complaints and eventually things got a lot better.
 
The only thing I would do differently is that I would call the first time I saw Mr. Scruffy failing to break the window. It was predictable that he would come try again, on that car or another.

As for the rest of the comments about people at the store and their stupid human tricks, those of us who have experience in the criminal justice system can tell you that contact with the human race has a good chance of being corrosive.

My wife does most of the shopping, and a good bit of that is using the drive up/pick up system. I do a bit, usually picking up pharmacy stuff after work. Head on a swivel, unwelcoming demeanor. We are right off a college campus and most of the shoppers are young and seemingly functional. It is a long time since I can recall having problems with fellow shoppers, and Ihnestly think that when we were still in Central Illinois.
