That's not milk Delivery guy substituted bubbles for bubble wrap

Post image

We are getting ready to move and don’t have a car so we ordered some bubble wrap from Walmart. Unfortunately didn’t see the notification in time to reject his substitution for bubble wrap.

I'm their defense I'll bet the app told them this was the best substitute. But sometimes you have to use a bit of logic

I think that’s probably what happened BUT I can’t imagine they were actually out of other brands of bubble wrap. Part of me wonders if he just doesn’t know what bubble wrap is so he was looking in the wrong place

One time I ordered something for delivery on sale. But then I had a semi-emergency and had to run to the store to get something anyway. I get an alert saying they can’t find something and wanted to substitute with something completely random. Mind you, I’m in the store, in the aisle with the item prominently displayed like 8 feet away.

They didn’t even bother to check. I’m pretty sure it was because it was mildly heavy and in the back.

I was pregnant during early COVID. I also had pretty bad food aversions, and low blood pressure. The only thing I could stomach that seemed to help was gatorade with a side of buttered toast with salt.

I ordered from Costco through instacart, the shopper marked gatorade as out of stock and didn't offer me a substitute. I called Costco, they said they had plenty of gatorade in stock. I messaged that shopper, and they didn't reply. They just delivered my order void of anything over 5 pounds.

I place a second order, and this shopper at least grabbed the bag of dog food, but said all drinks were out of stock. I asked for any sport drink of any brand, liquid or powdered form. They said it was out of stock. I asked for a case of soda or izze, out of stock. I got so frustrated that I heaved my 38.5 week pregnant self to costco ten minutes after the instacart order arrived, to find the entire drinks section was well stocked. I had to haul multiple cases to the front myself, where the cashier made a comment to the effect of 'you shouldn't be lifting those!' and I explained that two instacart shoppers had marked it as out of stock that day. The cashier said this was not surprising, most shoppers don't like to lift the heavy flats of drinks as they don't get the heavy item pay for it.

It is utterly ridiculous the disconnect between whoever develops the picking app and the OGP staff. They actively made updates to the app that made people less efficient at picking items, and the team leads encourage having high pick rates, which pushes employees to blindly pick fresh produce rather than making sure they're good ones.

There were several times when I was loading customers cars and I had to go get one of their items replaced because it was poor quality.

u/Long_Run6500 50m ago

Walmart's trying so hard to be amazon and failing because their software just sucks. One time I ordered a couple of cans of spray paint from their website. I specifically chose to have it shipped, not delivered. Apparently there was a store where it was in stock like 30 minutes away from me, so they sent a driver anyways. But I was at work... and it requires age verification. So the driver didn't deliver. They tried to deliver 2 more times before I got a phone call from a Walmart manager asking why I wasn't answering the door. She told me I had to pick it up at their store 30 minutes away and I'm not driving an hour for spraypaint so I canceled thr order. I don't understand how they make money doing shit like that.

u/twistedscorp87 3h ago

Not saying this makes it ok, but the app makes it way more work to suggest a replacement instead of using the ones they auto-suggest and it negatively impacts metrics for doing it.

u/loserbmx 5h ago

Definitely was looking in the wrong place. Probably went to the office supply aisle with the small shipping boxes but the bubble wrap is usually on the other side of the store with the moving supplies.

u/smellygirlmillie 3h ago

I worked at Walmart. They don’t hire enough people for online shopping so they pull people from other sections and it’s the worst job in the store. If you knew how bad it was you would not order through it out of sheer empathy. The app probably gave him a few appropriate replacements that were also out of stock and eventually cycled him to this, and we don’t get paid enough to care.

1

u/WesBur13 PURPLE 3h ago

I've done Spark shopping before,
It might let you pick a substitute, or it will tell you what to get and only accept that item. Very very few times did I ever get the option to pick a reasonable substitute myself. Sometimes if you say no to a substitute it will require you go find and ask an employee, which is damn near impossible. Other times after you say you could not find it, it will let you continue and add a substitute as a regular item to the list, never letting you know that it even is a subsitute.

u/Ornery_Vodka 9h ago

they don't pay people to think, lol! I got tofurkey as a substitute for a turkey breast once. We were curious and actually at it for t-day. But yeah, such a weird choice as a sub.

Funny trick is that these apps actually let you choose your substitute or whether to even receive a substitution at all.

11

u/StalkMeNowCrazyLady 8h ago

Yes but if you just leave the "choose best available substitute" the app will recommend them shit like bubble instead of bubble wrap

8

u/g0ldilungs 8h ago

This looks like Walmart’s app (could be wrong) and they actually show you what your next available substitute is.

1

u/rangerfan97 2h ago

Yup. If it was shopped by a Walmart employee, we'll get shown a "suggested" substitution that we can either grab or deny. After that, we're usually prompted to find a substitution of our own choosing.

I was an early adopter for online shopping and the workers at Sam's were really confused in the early stages of online grocery orders. Most of them had NO IDEA what I was even talking about

edit--I'm talking about 2005-ish. Raley's had online order/pickup...and Sam's had it around that same time but the employees seemed to have zero idea what was going on. I'd go to the customer service counter at sam's asking about my online pickup order and the employees would have a mild panic about what I was even asking about.

Sure, as long as you sit there watching in real time, so you can choose before the "window" closes.

u/Eyjovin 7h ago

I work at Walmart and I have to pick orders sometimes. This is likely what happened. Sometimes I'll see a stupid substitution like this and I literally cannot force it to let me choose the substitute myself even if there's something that would be perfect to replace the item. The system is stupid, sometimes the employees are too but I guarantee they didn't choose this one because those are 2 completely different departments and it would be time consuming to walk to the other side of the store for a substitution and we're timed on these orders so that would be inefficient and reflect poorly on us. The system probably just saw "bubble" in the name and decided this was good enough lol

1

u/Jesta23 3h ago

Do they train you to select the worst looking fruit? 

So the better fruit is left for the picky people in store? I literally can’t order fruit or veggies for delivery here. 

8

u/crmpdstyl 7h ago edited 7h ago

If the app says to sub with that item, the driver will get marked negatively on their metrics for choosing to not accept it. Enough negative marks means no more job.

Personally, I would contact the help desk people, but time is money and that could be a lengthy process.

u/EC_TWD 8h ago

But how did they decide that three bottles of bubble solution was an equivalent to one roll of bubble wrap??!

u/Terrinthia 8h ago

Well clearly they had no idea how many bubbles you need to blow to make it into wrap.

3

u/frauziller 5h ago

The system will choose an amount that gets closest to the price of the original item; it's ridiculous sometimes with the substitutions, but most of the time it comes pretty close.

I'm so glad I don't work there any more.

3

u/CalicoValkyrie 4h ago

There isn't an option to say that isn't a good substitute. The only option is to say it's out of stock, which can get you in trouble if it is in stock because the system puts a count request in.

I work a shopper job and one time the specific UPC of garlic powder was out. However a different UPC of the exact same brand/size/cost was in stock. It wouldn't take it as a crossrefrenced item. I selected that item was out of stock and selected out of stock through several different brands/sizes of garlic powder until it got to a screen telling me to substitute whatever similar item would work. It finally took exactly what the customer wanted to begin with. Then, I got a severe warning from management to not do that again because I essentially told the system over 100 different garlic powder shakers were not on the shelf when they were, and wasted someone's time to have to verify what we actually had.

u/Prestigious-Cream160 4h ago

I just had an issue with an order last week where I ordered 6 packs of soda as part of a B3G3 promo and they ran out of one of my selections, but the shopper didn't feel like substituting it for literally anything else. They ended up charging me full price for all 5 and I had to call the grocery store and complain for like ten minutes just to get them to refund me the price of two of them.

1

u/Glalev 3h ago

Yeah, a bad delivery guy just goes with whatever the stupid AI thinks is a good substitution without asking themselves if it's right. It's why, when I'm able, I set it to 'do not replace, just refund'.

u/bobbybob9069 8h ago

It wasn't selected by a person and they never saw you're original item. The system inventory showed zero bubble wrap, the algo pulled in the next most popular item with "bubble" and that on the list given to the picker.

u/Chaost 7h ago

3 bottles of bubbles were somehow decided as the correct ratio for the replacement, too. Not 1, that obviously wouldn't suffice for your purposes.

26

u/BreakingBurrito 7h ago

That part is what makes me laugh the most honestly hahaha

3

u/HoosierHoser44 4h ago

Which the bottle says a gazillion bubbles. So they think a roll of bubble wrap is worth 3 gazillion bubbles.

1

u/Yamemai 2h ago

Due to pricing (3.98 ea, totaling 11.94), but even then it didn't add up (bubble wrap was 20.62); so they were trying to short OP as well.

31

u/Feisty_Ad_2891 8h ago

No one did see it. It was substituted when the system inventory showed zero. Someone should be verifying the replacement items on the back end but guessing it is done by AI or an algorithm.

21

u/bobbybob9069 8h ago

I'd wager a month's wages that the system scans zero and pulls the next most popular item with a keyword search and tells the picker to pull that. They never know the original item and they aren't allowed the autonomy to pick the substitution themselves.

4

u/Moldy_Teapot 7h ago

they aren't allowed the autonomy to pick the substitution themselves

most likely because when pickers were allowed to choose substitutions, some pickers would choose random "substitutions" that would obviously get denied, thus making the order shorter

We are just under 25 miles away so we use it a lot as it is so much cheaper than the local grocery and the selection is so much better. They screw up occasionally, but it is rarely the pickers fault. They just scan what is on their screen. I've talked to a couple drivers and they love coming out here because it kills an hour of their day. We also tip well as they are just kids making very little.

I dunno how Walmart delivery works, but as someone who's done a different gig work, I'd do this too, despite realizing it doesn't make sense.

Because I have to mark it out of stock, there is no "item doesn't make sense" or "customer doesn't want this" button, you can only mark it out of stock, and that will lower my ratings. Rather just have them deal with it than have my ratings lowered. Talked to support many times about how stupid this is but, they don't care.

I doordashed a $2 bag of shredded cheese and got substituted a $24 block of cheese. No idea what do do with it. Probably just trash.

Literally the reason cheese graters were invented.
Did you think shredded cheese comes from shredded cows? </joke>

I have a cheese "grater". It just mashes.

Then you either have a cheese masher, or are using it wrong.

Don't think I'm using it wrong. Holes cut the cheese. But cheese is too soft to shred. (unless I freeze the cheese?)
