So You Want to Walmart After Dark: A Guide to Not Getting Locked In (Unless That's Your Thing)
Let's face it, sometimes that craving for a three-tiered rainbow sprinkle cake hits at 8:53 pm, right when you're about to settle in for a night of reruns and questionable life choices. Or maybe you just remembered you need sunscreen for your weekend getaway...at the very last minute. Whatever the reason, you're wondering: can I still snag my stuff at Walmart or am I destined to a night of fruitlessly wrestling the vending machine for a stale bag of chips?
Fear not, fellow night owls! Walmart offers pickup hours that cater to your indecisiveness (or goldfish memory, no judgement). Here's the skinny on how late you can play retail Frogger at your local Walmart:
-
The Generally Good News: Buckle up for this shocker: most Walmarts allow pickups until 11 pm, 7 days a week. That's right, folks, you can snag that neon green spatula or the industrial-sized bag of gummy bears well after the dinner rush has subsided.
-
But Wait, There's More (Like Exceptions): As with all things good in life (and free samples at Costco), there can be exceptions. Some locations might have slightly earlier closing times, especially in more rural areas. Here's the MVP move: Before you hop in your pajamas and race to Walmart, use their website or app to check the specific hours of your local store.
-
Late-Night Delivery? Not Quite, But Close Enough: While you can't get a post-bedtime delivery from the mothership itself, Walmart offers Express Delivery until 9:30 pm, with a guaranteed delivery by 10 pm. This is your knight in shining armor for those truly last-minute emergencies (like needing a replacement badminton net for your epic midnight tournament).
Now you're armed with the knowledge to conquer your late-night Walmart urges! Remember, there's no shame in rocking your fuzzy slippers and yesterday's mascara while picking up your essentials. Just be sure to check those store hours – you wouldn't want to be the one setting off the alarm as you desperately search for the exit with a cart full of discount socks.
