How long are you sitting in your car for curbside delivery? If it’s like the in-store online pickup it’s got to be a joke (I’ve waited at online pickup for 30 minutes before finding a worker to arrive) considering there are cars probably in a line of 20 in front of the store blocking the entrance. You know they aren’t about efficiency or speed so I’m guessing you are idling in your car for 30 minutes + at a minimum.
Depends on the day/time. Saturday morning is going to take longer because that’s when everyone else wants their groceries.
we tend to pick up ‘off time’. Tuesday morning at 9am. Wednesday night at 8pm. etc.
Usually 4pm-7pm is more crowded as that’s when people get off from work and go do the pickup.
End of the month/payday is also more crowded.
If you want to avoid things being out, avoid picking up after about 11am on saturday morning. Or during/after other busy periods.
Our BEST picks for timeliness are weekday mornings between 9am and 10am. They’ve had time to pick your order so you don’t wait (don’t put in 150 item orders for early morning pickup as a rule), things are still ‘in stock’ if they’ve restocked, and there isn’t a line of cars waiting when you get there.
YMMV of course.
We use this because it saves us a LOT of time and wear and tear walking on those concrete floors for acres.
The longest we’ve had to wait is about 20 minutes. That was a mistake WE made by picking saturday morning 11am for pickup. We didn’t do that again LOL. Hubby surfed twitter on his ipad, so no big deal for him.
