walmart.com user design sucks. My particular grudge right now is - I'm shopping to go pickup some stuff (and indicate "in store pickup) and each time I search for the next item, it resets that filter making me click on that filter for each item on my list.

Almost every physical-store-chain company's website makes it way too hard to do the thing I nearly always want out of their interface, which is to search the inventory of the X nearest locations. They all want to push online orders or 3rd-party-seller crap, it seems.

Yes, I assume they intentionally make it difficult to push third party sellers’ where they get to earn bigger profit margins and/or hide their low inventory.
Although, Amazon is the worst, then Walmart (still much better than Amazon since you can at least filter). The others are not bad in my experience.
Walmart.com, Am I the only one in the world who can't view their site on my phone? I tried it on a couple devices and couldn't get it to work. Scaling is fubar. I assumed this would be costing them millions/billions since it's impossible to buy something from my phone right now. S21+ in portrait on multiple browsers.
