I picked up yesterday and it was still free.Pickup used to be free at the local Fred Meyer Store . Now it's $5.95.

I see if I search at Walmart.com , I see nearly zero choices.
But when I select the grocery side of walmart.com I see lots:

From Walmart.com , on the very top left I select "Pickup and delivery" to show the grocery side.
Hmmmmm...... Not working for me Sunset. If I go to Walmart.com, I do get alcoholic selections but all are labeled "In Store Purchase Only." If I go to the grocery side, I just get wine glasses, cooking wine, non-alcoholic beer, etc.
I tried some different stores with the same results.
Clicking on the link you provided also returns just grape juice cocktail, wine glasses, etc., but no alcohol.
I guess I need to call them. Have you actually had beer and/or wine brought to your car curbside? If so, PM me the store that did this.
This isn't a major problem for me as I just order from Jewel and their liquor selection is much better than Walmart. But it's buggin' me as to why it looks like no alcohol curbside when I'm ordering from Walmart.

Pickup
Fee: $4.95
Yes I "share" it with my sister in another state. I love it. Also love the extra nickel off gas at Wal-Mart with it
Do you use "scare quotes" "all" the time, or just when you are "discussing" those "R" people?
I kinda miss shopping as it was pre-Covid. I don't find today's shopping a very good substitute for that. It's just not the same by a long shot.I guess I'm still the only one that misses the "experience" of shopping.
This is a valuable 90 page thread about grocery shopping, you might think we want to hear your political views, but I'm more interested in hearing about grocery shopping experiences. Taking political and laughing about ducking under the chair isn't cool. Just don't.
I totally believe you, I'm just surprised that one Meyer would waive the fee and another would charge it. I think we are in the same state.It's right there on my checkout screen.

Perhaps you have a nicer smile than I
I guess I'm still the only one that misses the "experience" of shopping. Even if I have a list, I'll always see stuff we actually need when I get there. Costco especially and even grocery stores seem to be taking social distancing and especially masks seriously, so I worry a lot less about spread than I used to. Costco sprays down their carts between shoppers and I carry my own little bottle of sanitizer. Large as Costco is, with those tall ceilings and huge "volume" (of air) it's virtually "out of doors" especially with those huge fans on the ceiling and the sun light streaming in.
Why do people not understand that this is a very, very bad idea?
We are using it and like it (we are in Virginia in the Shenandoah Valley). We've had 4 or 5 orders. The only downside we've noticed so far is that you can't decline substitutions and a couple were unacceptable (example: ordered low sodium soy sauce and got regular). Our solution is to stipulate no substitutions. The produce has been quite good, like we would pick out and no items have been missing from our orders. Our orders have been fairly large (about $200 each), so we have been including $15 tips.Anybody else tried the new Walmart service that delivers groceries to your home? (costs $100 per year or about $13 per month). I had high hopes for it and tried it twice but it was a disaster. Anybody been able to use this service successfully?
