I wanted a fried bologna sandwich, so I ordered $50 worth of
mundane shit to get free delivery - mostly stuff that was on the
shopping list. Then I added a pizza, and decided maybe I wanted a
reuben instead - so that helped fill out the $50.

I ordered two kinds of beef bologna, and one was left out of the
order (the sliced to order stuff from the deli). After the order was
delivered and I unpacked the *18* bags containing 20 items, I was
sure the one bologna was missing (not in freezer, not in pantry, not
still on porch). I went online 2 days later and there was checklist
to specify what was missing and it immediately credited me for the
"Wunderbar" bologna - no human intervention required.

The only other hiccup was that I ordered wheat bread instead of
white - my fault. Oh, and the cucumber was the size of a large
cornichon.

The prices were slightly higher on some items than HEB, but HEB
tacks on an extra 3% for curbside and delivery. After I placed the
order at 8:58AM it sent me a notice saying I have until 9:00AM to
add or make changes to the order (2 minutes?). So it was too late
to add the ice cream.

I ordered at 9:AM on a Sunday and it was delivered at 2:30PM.
Delivery was free with the promo code. It would have been $7.95, but
for some reason if I chose delivery after 2:PM, it was $9.95 - $2
more? After I placed the order I did 3 hot, sweaty hours trimming
and clearing brush from the property to put out for bulk brush
pickup.

I ordered online using the computer and gave them my cell phone for
text message updates, but typed the number wrong. So I didn't get
instant updates but it wasn't required. So no smart phone required,
and no substitutions were made.

I wouldn't order a bunch of meat and produce using the service (and
not from Walmart), but for pre-packaged staples it was convenient.
It sure beats taking an Uber there and back for $18.

shopping list deleted for brevity.

I told you so.
Easy peasy way to shop. I did have to show my drivers license when I
ordered an alcoholic beverage. The delivery guy scanned the back of
the license. I've never had an item not delivered, but I believe that
if you check your email before delivery, the store will list what
items couldn't be filled. Yes, Walmart uses a lot of bags. I guess
it is to prevent cross contamination. crushing, mixing cold things
with non- cold, etc. But the extra bags are welcome here because I
use them for waste paper basket liners.
Note: You get hours and hours to change your order if you order late
at night. I'm guessing your shopper was ready to go when your order
came in.

$18 each way for uber?

usually for us a shopping day involves running several
errands at once so we're not wasting the trip for a few
items. we live far enough from a large store that it
takes a few gallons of gasoline to run into town that
far away. the local store does charge rather higher
prices so we don't shop there for some items (they've
priced themselves out of the market).

that said the other day i ran into town for the post
office, library and some shopping at the grocers. a
few things were on sale as i walked by so i did impulse
buy them, but they were things that won't go to waste.
and potatoes and carrots for a large pot of bean soup.

the closer larger store we go to is about a 50 mile
round trip, but if we want to go to our favorite chinese
place and the other big box store for bulk supplies it
is about 90 mile round trip so we make sure to have
enough on the list to make the price differences worth
it along with needing that much bulk supplies (mostly
for baking). Mom is biased against one larger store
that is only about 25 miles round trip, but i'll go
there instead if i'm out by myself (their prices are a
bit higher but not too bad she just had a bad
experience there once so she won't go back).

this season was kinda a scramble at times trying to
make sure we had enough canning supplies (lids and
jars). at a key time i was able to source another 100
quarts of capacity and Mom came across some lids by
chance once and we needed those and that helped out for
another 50 quarts but since that everyone has been out
of stock. good thing we're pretty much done for the
year.

So? The Chinese bought Rubbermaid's injection molding machine for %750,000! But I'll BET it still says "Rubbermaid" on all the stuff molded from it! Not "Chinese Rubbermaid" either! So people BUYING the molded items from it still thinks it's made in Ohio WHEN IT'S NOT! It's make in CHINA!


Dumb ass!

Blanket statements are always troublesome. What machine did they buy?
They have many.
Some products are made in China but many are still made in the USA Some
of the food containers are still USA.

Now stop, Ed! You're confusing John and the argument with facts. Something he's
not at all familiar with; it muddles him when you make sense.

I know a guy that actually bought a house from the Chinese.

When I buy Rubbermaid items, I don't even look. I just assume everything is made in China.

Even better than Rubbermaid is/was Tupperware.
I have several products from each. (early 1980s)
The Rubbermade containers eventually crack.
Mainly the lids.
All my old Tupperware is just as good as ever,
just a little used looking. Still nice and flexible
and never goes bad.

All this whining of yours might mean something if you were actually
correct. The vast majority of Rubbermaid products (about 80%) are
made here in the United States.

Indeed.

Plastic injection molding is cheap to do and common in the US. Producing
inexpensive, light, bulky, items and shipping them from China doesn't
make economical sense.Â* A 40' container costs around $4000 to ship plus
the tariff, inland shipping, etc, etc.

That's true. I was, as Mr. Kuthe has pointed out, a "janitor," for many years.
I became a foreman of a cleaning crew when I was 18. Rubbermaid used
to make polypropylene/fiberglass composite mop buckets that were so
high quality that they could be used for many years, even with steel,
downward pressure wringers intended to be used with steel mop buckets.
With all the advances in technology, no one makes anything close to
those these days.
