If you’re just ordering non perishable items that’s fine. Otherwise you might get nearly-expired items, over-ripe produce, etc. It’s all up to the whim of the employee, and they may be having a bad day…

So far I haven't noticed that happening. They seem to be pretty good about grabbing decent stuff. That's at my Walmart and Target at least

Glad to hear it. I know a guy who got a load of nearly expired groceries and vowed to never do it again.

I make sure that I am on very good terms with them. I help them get the groceries into the car and I joke around with them. It helps that I am sincere and they know that.
