| How To Do A Curbside Pickup At Walmart |
Step 1: Embrace the Digital Frontier (or Download the App)
First things first, you'll need to venture into the wild world of the internet (or, you know, open the Walmart app). Head to their website or fire up the app and create an account if you haven't already. It's like getting a library card, but instead of books, you get access to a treasure trove of, well, everything.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Packrat (Virtually, of Course)
Now comes the fun part: filling your virtual cart. Browse, search, and toss in whatever your heart desires – groceries, clothes, that inflatable T-Rex costume you've been eyeing (no judgment here). Just remember, curbside pickup has weight limits, so don't go overboard and accidentally order a life-size cardboard cutout of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (unless that's your thing, no shame).
Pro Tip: Be sure to check the "available for pickup" option when browsing to avoid disappointment. Nobody wants to virtually grocery shop only to discover their dream box of unicorn-flavored marshmallows isn't up for grabs.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
Step 3: The Great Time Slot Race (Not Really, But Kinda)
Once your cart is overflowing (or at least decently full), you'll need to choose a pickup time slot. This is where things can get a little Hunger Games-esque, especially during peak hours. But fret not, grasshopper! With a little planning and maybe a dash of Jedi mind tricks, you'll snag that perfect time.
Insider Tip: Weekday mornings and evenings tend to be less crowded, so if you're flexible, you might score a prime slot.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.

Step 4: The Arrival (Cue Dramatic Music)
Your order is placed, your time slot is secured, you are basically a Walmart shopping ninja. Now, all that's left is to head to the store at your designated time. Look for the designated curbside pickup spots, usually marked with bright signs and impatient-looking minivans.
Here's the important part: Once you've parked, don't just sit there and contemplate the meaning of life. Use the Walmart app or the phone number provided to let them know you've arrived. They'll be out in a jiffy, like a grocery-delivering superhero.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
Bonus points: If you're feeling fancy, you can pop your trunk open for them. It's the little things, you know?
Step 5: The Grand Unloading (and Possible Triumphant Dance)
And there you have it! A friendly associate will magically transport your goodies from their cart to your car. Double-check your order to make sure you got everything (because nobody wants to discover they're missing their emergency supply of nacho cheese Doritos halfway home).
If everything is in order, feel free to do a celebratory dance in the parking lot (socially distanced, of course). You've conquered curbside pickup, you magnificent shopping beast, you!
Remember: This guide is meant to be informative and humorous, not a substitute for the official Walmart curbside pickup instructions. So, for the nitty-gritty details, be sure to check out their website or app. Happy shopping!
