    I use a rural Walmart once a week on Sundays, and they have around 4

    I prefer the walking exercise....online orders are for a reason(s) I

    AFAIC, disabled, elderly, and invalids can benefit from that service...
    but it's just laziness otherwise. I'll pick out my own produce, thank

    whatever is on top of the pile.
