I have to say... as much as I don't like them... WalMart does the online shopping properly. I had to switch to delivery / pickup for a while during 2020 and found them to be the best. But I think this is because the people shopping for your food are paid by the hour and not by the job. They are regular employees of the store. They aren't rushed to get your order, and 50 other orders, checkout, and drive around town burning their own gas for a paltry fee. I never had shitty produce delivered, and substitutions actually make sense.

How bad is it when WalMart is treating its employees better than most?

I work with a number of people that have an irrational hate-boner for Walmart for the reasons stated yet they are all Prime members.

Both Walmart and Amazon have horrid hours and working conditions. The difference is Bezos starts them at 2-3x minimum wage, while Walmart is at the rock bottom.
