I work 3 miles from a walmart. Placed an order last wednesday. From clicking submit on 30 items to a brother calling me saying he was parked by my truck... 12 minutes.

Unless you bought 30 pieces of 1 SKU, this is total bullcock.

3 miles - let's assume at a very minimum, in perfect conditions, 5 minutes travel time... unless of course it's all highway miles with no stops, red lights or turns. I haven't seen neighborhoods that connect directly to walmarts via the Interstate.

In the remaining 7 minutes, your guy received the order, shopped the order, got to his car and exited the parking lot.

At 30 items, That's 14 seconds per item pulled.

A good score for an Amazon warehouse order selector is 100 line items per hour (with batch order pulling efficiency). 1.66 item per minute. Your guy did 4.28 items per minute. And then delivered it in 5 minutes. And then repeated it the next day.

I'm calling shenanigans.
