Making Life Better...One Door At A Time

We are fans of the Walmart Pick Up Shopping. If you haven't tried it (and you're a Walmart shopper...) you should. You go on-line, complete the order, and if it's more than $30 worth of goods, you don't pay for their service.

It's saved us a lot of time over the months and years.

At our local store, they set up the Pick Up location behind the store. It was very convenient, but a little strange. We had to drive to the back of the store to a place where there were no windows--just a door.

So, when Walmart changed their pick up location, it was an upgrade--an upgrade for the customers, not so much for the Walmart employees. They moved the pick up area to the front of the store, but the door where the goods existed the store was the same place, which meant, the employees had to haul everything the length of the store to the waiting cars, trucks, and minivans.

We really didn't see a solution for the employees. There was only one door and it was on the other side of the building.

Looks like changes are a' coming!

This morning as I waited for the Walmart employee to make the long walk north, I saw a cement truck pull up and stop. When the employee brought over our stuff I asked what was happening. She said they're putting in a door on the same side of the building as the Pick Up parking. She said the employees would still need to make the walk, but it would now be inside, away from the elements and the cars driving by. Hopefully, it'll make life better, one door at a time.
