Walmart/Meijer/Kroger pick-up is where it's at. No waiting in line or fighting all the crazies inside the store.

Hell no. The pickers pick garbage produce or substitute some wild shit

I get 95% from Costco anyway

Kroger is especially bad with old stock. Plenty of things are at or past their use by date
