That sounds new like a miserable experience. Does anyone actually like online ordering with instore pickup?

When shipping costs add 50% to the price of a cheaper item, and the store is convenient, free instore pickup is a killer feature. I've bought lots of stuff that way from Walmart.
I have done that precisely once with a very large monitor where I inspected it before signing. No not want UPS box with rattle of broken glass.

I suppose you could do fresh food that way, get my avocados ready ahead of time, but show me them before I sign for them.
