I did my usual online shop yesterday, and there was an option I could click to pay an extra $15 and have my large shop delivered in an hour.

My first thought was: That's really unfair on the staff! Especially the pickers that have to run around getting the order together, then throw it on the truck!

How does it work on your end? I don't imagine they give you extra staff for these express shops. (I used to work for the competition, I know how bad they are with staffing levels)

I mean, if all the online pickers are already doing orders and I drop my order in for delivery in one hour, do you have to drop all the other orders and do the express order? It really doesn't seem viable.

Hai frenz, iz me Basil.

I sense today dat Meowmmy haz a sadz, so I climb on herm to gib cuddlez.
