But you can choose to accept them or not, either before you get there when they send you the link, or at your car. You can also mark all of your items “do not substitute.”

Before Covid, they used to give you the more expensive item for the price of the item substituted.

I just don't want to start getting any more higher recurring bills if I don't really need to. I was fine with $1-5/mo for the streaming service alone. TIA.

Last time I tried to order something from Walmart it was a few years back. I ordered a cell phone for my mom. Needed it delivered on time and I was out of state so I could not just buy it and drop it off. For some reason it flagged as a suspicious transaction and it took days to get them to approve it. Stuck with Amazon after that.

That sounds like it was your credit card company that flagged it, no? I’ve never heard of a store flagging a product they sell as a suspicious purchase.

It does seem like Walmart is heavily pushing Walmart+. Many items that I used to be able to order for normal shipping are now delivery from store or pickup only. I used to be able to order a bunch of bottles of Welch's Sparkling Rosé Grape Juice via normal shipping, but now it is delivery from store or pickup only.

I have it including the inhome which is extra I believe. I like their grocery delivery they don't price gouge you like instacart and others. Plus you don't need to tip the delivery person since it's one of the employees from wally delivering the groceries.

Great service well worth the monthly price.

I really like Walmart+, too, but the delivery people are contractors, not Walmart employees, and if you can possibly afford a 15% tip, it is deserved. This is little different from any other personal service, and it is customary to tip. I know I have had had up to 12 one gallon jugs of water delivered along with other items. That is a lot to haul in from a delivery vehicle. If they do a good job, a tip is warranted if not mandated.

Does anyone know how much these drivers earn? Is it similar to waitstaff where they are expected to make up their earnings from tips?

I'm not sure that is correct. For the grocery delivery it's the Walmart employees doing the picking of the stock, but the drivers are independent workers, I think. I like Walmart's service but haven't used Instacart in a long time; both of them seem to be about the same on price, now that Walmart charges for delivery (when they first started, they didn't charge for delivery so they were cheaper than Instacart.)

Actually, Walmart just ended their agreement with DoorDash and are now using their own delivery drivers.
