- Walmart delivery workers say a new app feature is sending them running around stores — and wasting precious time

Workers report inefficiencies, including picking frozen items early, which risks melting, and decreased earnings due to per-delivery pay. Walmart states it aims to improve navigation and maintain food safety.
