idk it's some weird shit. Kroger (a Midwest chain I guess) seems to never have chicken flavoured instant ramen anymore for some reason. It's been weeks and they're still out for some reason and I'm just baffled because, like, why that? Cleaning products make sense, but this??????

Right? It could just be the people filling the order are just like "nope we don't got that no dice" instead of, like, being like "hey we're out of X but we have Y which is basically the same thing so is that good" because like being out of paper plates 100% is a weird fuckin'????

exactly. if it's wally world's corporate policy for them to not even attempt to look for a substitute...okay. but if not, then just turn around and grab a different type of paper plate, oh my god.

No offense but it's like they hired specifically for people with exactly zero thinking cells and just go "Oh that exact thing ain't here guess we're all fucked now. Sorry but we're outta that specific napkin brand so eat shit I guess"

as someone who works in a supermarket's online shopping department, this is a very prevalent thing, especially among the newer hires, if they're not actively sending the wrong thing as a subsititute (eg toothPASTE instead of a toothBRUSH)

I am pretty sure I got someone else’s entire Aldi order the other day - like out of the 20 things in the order, like 2 of them were what I actually ordered, the rest of it was uh, wildly unrelated to what we were supposed to get. And somehow they couldn’t find eggs?

right? like i get that it's probably not a fun job. but tbh if i were still working retail i'd rather be walking around doing the online order shopping than interacting with people at the cashier til and stuff. so just grab some different egg brand and call it a day man.

I'd think of it as "If I were the one placing the online order, what would I prefer"

our official procedure is called WIBI, or Would I Buy It, and it's not meant to be taken TOO literally (like, I'm allergic to tomatoes so I would never buy them but I don't apply that to customers ofc) but more as a guide line "I want X eggs, there are none but there are Y eggs"

thank you! this is why, if they don't have the gluten free noodles i want, i just choose "do not substitute" and move on with my day. but for anything else that i've indicated substitutes are fine for, at least try!

I'm so happy when online places have a way to control substitutions - means I can do similar to you & ask for GF stuff not to be substituted. Too often places have tried to replace GF stuff with non-GF, which is less than useful
