At the high school, they have students that 'work' as teacher
aides as part of their day. Some of them help out the tech lead
in that building (I work district wide), we we are doing a
form of this.

sounds like a great way to rip off tax payers. not only do they get paid for every student, they are now getting an employee they dont need to pay.

We call it curbside here, but I assume it's the same thing. I did
that some at Wal-Mart, but only a few times. Once they started
delivery to our house, we started doing that. :-)

over by me walmart does free shipping if you buy 35 bucks or over.
so i go with that. last time though, my water was damaged. i was going to give the guy a big tip for delivering 4 waters but he bolted out of there. then i noticed they were smashed up and leaking. dude was rushing so fast. i was going to bring my dolly to the car and tip him good.

Your water broke?

I have a sister who has two young grandkids. She has been doing drive-thru so she doesn't have to take the kids into the store.

LOL, they call it that here also. I just couldn't remember the name! :D

Well that escalated quickly... :-)

They aren't an employee. They get 'service hours' and high school credit
for it. It's better than just being put into a 'study hall' in the library. Better on the students I mean.

And they do the same thing I do - they will do Tier One troubleshooting
mostly. Some of them know how to powerwash, so that is a step that can
be done before it gets to me.

Ours is only free delivery at $35+ if you have "WalMart Plus." We bought
a year when it was 'on sale' for like $45, so it's WELL worth it to us!

The last few days they have been offering 'same day shipping' which is delivery, but no minimum. I've been taking advantage of that too, much
like Amazon Prime with the no minumum.

Where our eldest lives outside of Indy they have same day Amazon, but
around here even Prime was four or five days for a while. Last month
or so they've been two days again, and one day a few times...

that's what i keeps telling me but each time i order something it's free delivery at 35+

i had that too but then it got weird and wanted a minimum amount. and it wanted me to tip the driver

i have amazon prime and order 3+ things a week. i love amazon.

Don't mind him. He's probably downright angry (I sure would be) with the school referendum that got passed in his neck of the woods, recently. ;)

I've never needed or wanted enough stuff to order that much, but I also have Amazon Prime and I like that I can order all kinds of things from there and many things have the quick shipping.

Where I am, even some Wal-Mart locations eliminated self-checkout after adding them several years ago.

I live in a vary rural area for about 20 years now and our walmart which we have to travel to it's about 10 mins away which before it was put in we have to travel over 40 mins. But it still have self checkout.
