Conquering the Concrete Jungle: A Guide to Walmart Curbside Pickup (for the gloriously lazy)
Let's face it, folks, shopping is a chore. Between the fluorescent lights, the never-ending aisles, and the questionable decisions other shoppers make (who needs that much cheese?), it can feel like navigating a particularly messy jungle gym. But fear not, weary consumer warrior, for there's a beacon of hope in this retail desert: Walmart Curbside Pickup.
How To Use Curbside Pickup At Walmart |
Step 1: Embrace the Digital Frontier (or your phone, whatever)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app (available on the App Store or Google Play, because even wilderness survival requires basic technology these days). Download it, fire it up, and prepare to be amazed by the sheer convenience at your fingertips.

Step 2: Channel Your Inner Packrat (but a discerning one)
Now comes the fun part: browsing. Fill your virtual cart with everything your heart desires, from the essentials (bread, milk, that questionable 10-pack of sporks) to the not-so-essentials (that inflatable T-Rex costume you absolutely need for reasons unknown). Remember, with curbside pickup, judgment is left at the door (unless you're buying, like, a mountain of candy corn. Then, we might judge a little).
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.![]()
Pro Tip: Use the "Pickup & delivery" filter to see only items eligible for curbside pickup. Because nobody wants to virtually wrestle a couch into their car, right?

Step 3: The Great Pickup (without the heavy lifting)
Once your cart is overflowing (or, you know, has the essentials), head to the checkout. Choose your curbside pickup slot like a scheduling ninja, then sit back, relax, and let Walmart do the heavy lifting (literally).

Important Note: You'll receive a notification when your order is "Ready for Pickup." This is not a drill. It's time to unleash your inner champion of convenience.
Step 4: Conquering the Concrete Aisle (with minimal effort)
Mosey on down to your local Walmart in your most comfortable attire (because who needs pants when you're basically royalty?). Find the designated curbside pickup spots (usually marked with signs and a healthy dose of impatience from fellow curbside connoisseurs).
Here, there are two options, both excellent in their own unique way:
- Option A: The App Approach: Open the Walmart app, tap the "I've Arrived" button, and enter your parking spot number and car color. Like magic, a Walmart associate will appear with your goods, ready to load them into your vehicle. You can practically hear the angels singing.
- Option B: The Old-School Method: Channel your inner caveman and dial the number posted on the curbside pickup sign. Speak into the receiver, using your most authoritative voice (think Morgan Freeman narrating a nature documentary), and inform them of your glorious arrival. They'll be there in a jiffy, ready to do your bidding (well, at least the shopping-related bidding).
And there you have it! You've conquered the concrete jungle, tamed the retail beast, and emerged victorious with your spoils, all without breaking a sweat (or losing your dignity in the bargain). Now, go forth and enjoy the fruits (or vegetables, or questionable sporks) of your labor!
