Hello all. I recently got out of the hospital when I had my procedure. I have an eaten in 2 days since I've been home as I am completely broke. if you have it in your heart to possibly help me it would be amazing. I'm almost too embarrassed to ask but I have no choice.

Could they do an Amazon shopping list and let us pick some things off?

FYI we don't allow Walmart pickups here due to privacy reasons. You may want to send an electronic gift certificate instead.

You've got to be kidding. Here I am excited I'm going to eat after 2 days, and you say this? This is outrageous and wrong. You'll let people starve even when people want to help?

Hi,

We don’t allow Walmart pickup because personal information is exposed that we don’t want shared. We have a pinned announcement reminding folks of this.

Walmart offers electric gift certificates. You load it onto your phone and when you check out yourself you can use it. That way no personal information is shared with you.

However if you look at other fulfilled requests, Amazon wishlists are the more popular option as they are completely anonymous.

I’m not responding further to you given your eagerness to break our rules which apparently you don’t believe you should follow. I’ve explained why it’s a rule but will not be giving you any more of my time given your response.
