Have you seen the ads for the 'new' Walmart? They supposedly started it in 2025. They have a new layout, new upgrades on technology, and new delivery updates too. I guess 650 stores has gone through this new initiative. New, modern, and faster. That's the way of the future. I wonder how much will be done with AI and how many people are losing their jobs?

I haven't been inside a Walmart for years. I do all my shopping online.

Same here. My daughter went once a couple of years ago but that's it. We used to use them to deliver our groceries. They kept making so many mistakes that I quit using them. I wonder if they are any better now.

@celticeagle They haven't made any mistakes with my orders; but they are out of stock on a couple of things here and there.

It's sad that people's job is being replaced by AI.

I may have, but I’m not a Walmart shopper. Too many people have already lost their jobs.
