Mandatory Changes Have Now Arrived At All MA. Walmart Stores

With the New Year in full force, there's been many changes going on including those who shop at Walmart and use online pickup. Especially if you shop at this one particular location in Massachusetts.

What changes are being at Walmart?

If you're one of the those that orders through online pickup, you can expect the online pickup location to be relocated to another section of the parking lot. For example, store #1984 Walmart in North Adams now has their online pickup outside of the Lawn & Garden section vs before it was in the center of the parking lot. According to their Facebook page, this new change is their next step to "enhance a shopper's experience."

This brings the total of parking spots for online pickup up to 45 to choose from! Remember these spots are for online pickup orders only and are not intended for general parking which seems to be an issue at this other Walmart location.

While looking for a parking spot, I noticed something about the cars that were parked in curbside pickup. You would expect people waiting in their cars for the Walmart associate to bring out their orders. I looked again and noticed majority of them were all unoccupied!

I initially took photos of these vehicles they were unoccupied in curbside pickup but for some reason the camera deleted them. Pictured above is an example of what I witnessed.

What is Walmart Curbside pickup?

Since the Covid-19 Pandemic, Curbside pickup has been the new safe way of shopping without having to actually go in the store. All you do is request and pay for what you want through their website or on their app. And then you drive to the store you requested your merchandise at, park in the designed Curbside pickup, and then ether call or mention in the app that you have arrived in that designed Curbside pickup parking spot.

All in all, the point is Curbside pickup is designed for those types of customers and should not be used to parking closer to the store just because an individual is not to up to finding a normal spot or having to walk a distance. Anytime I shop at Walmart, I only use Curbside pickup for what it's intended for.
