The mayonnaise loop

As is fairly normal for me, I am experiencing a ridiculous but annoying abnormality.

They won’t bring me mayonnaise. You may think mayo is gross and that’s fine. I like it.

Three separate times I ordered it from Walmart and all went as usual until the part when I was charged for the mayo and they didn’t bring it. They cheerfully refunded, but a refund wasn’t the reason I ordered mayo.

I finally gave up and ordered from Amazon. It shipped quickly, and was scheduled for delivery this past Tuesday. It traveled from Texas to Albuquerque and Monday it was due to arrive here in Santa Fe. It did arrive in Santa Fe.

Then for reasons known only to USPS, they took it out of Santa Fe and sent it to Santa Rosa, about 2 hours away. You can send stuff TO Santa Rosa from here, but to get back here, it has to go back to Albuquerque.

So now it’s (ha ha) due to arrive today.

I am skeptical.

Update: The mayo DID arrive today. Call off the hounds.

That is odd. Go back and review each of those 3 Walmart orders, and when it has the space where you can type something in, mention the mayonnaise. I had the same driver on three separate occasions bring my orders to the wrong house. My house is clearly marked and not hard to find. No other drivers had an issue. Twice she just took a picture of the item in her car, and one she took a picture of it on some dilapidated porch. After my third review the manager called me and said it will never happen again. I haven’t had a problem since. Maybe somebody will double check your orders.

@itsok the vast majority of the time it goes like clockwork. I should be grateful, and if the mayo arrives, I probably will get that back, the gratitude part.

Lol….. that’s so weird. Walmart does have some interesting slip ups when it comes to grocery delivery. Latest for me was the bonehead driver who left my groceries in a crate in the outdoor courtyard rather than the 3 flights up to my apartment door. Where I very clearly instruct them to be delivered.

Tragedy of the century, no. But after fracturing my back last year, schlepping the bags up the stairs to my apartment was not very smart on my part but I didn’t have much choice. Only good thing about it was getting a nice promo code for my next order.

Anyhoo, thanks for the opportunity to vent and I truly hope your elusive mayonnaise finally arrives! 😄

@OlderSometimesWiser I know. I know. Not even the tragedy of the day. I would likely survive without ever receiving mayo again. But I do know.

You order it 🫤🫤 Now I find that's confusing.

I just go to the store and get it. No waiting, no delivery fees, no postal fees

I just don't understand people that use mail order. You wasted a stamp and a envelope to order by mail for plain ol mayonnaise.

You can even make mayonnaise at home under 3 minutes. Its just eggs, oil and whip it. If you add spices you have Miracle Whip.

Some people I will never understand. It's like some rare thing that can only be found in the center of Earth or something.

I'm just shocked is all

I will keep on eating my raw eggs and raw meat (aka Wild Cat)

@HumanEarth Do you drive a car? On the Interstates? On any roads really.
Do you like to drink safe clean water?
This, mostly US, idea that anything created by government is evil is just risible.

Don't start with me

I think your a great person. Just let this go. I'm not going argue with a friend over the food I eat. Specially food I have been raised on since toddler.

You know I'm not going to change my mind no matter what.

Wow! You have made me feel really grateful for the mayo on my sandwich I had for lunch.

Mamapolo2016 · F

@exexec Lucky rascal!

exexec · 70-79, C

@Mamapolo2016 And it was from a freshly opened jar, so I didn't have to scrape the bottom.

Mamapolo2016 · F

@exexec Now you’re just being mean. I hope someday to have that experience again. **sighs nostalgically**

Fairly normal for me is to pick up the large jar of mayonnaise at the food store -- why do you have to order it delivered?.

Mamapolo2016 · F

@ChipmunkErnie I don’t drive anymore. I miss it but what with the worsening reflexes and now that they tell me I have ‘absence seizures’ it seemed the best choice. My daughter would happily fetch it for me, but she’s got a full plate and then some. If it was insulin, I’d ask her, but it’s mayonnaise. Y’know?

ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M

@Mamapolo2016 Ah, makes sense. ;)

AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F

Good luck! Sounds like yer gonna need it...

Mamapolo2016 · F

@AntisocialTroll I am not usually into conspiracies, but I’m starting to wonder.

Mamapolo2016 · F

@AntisocialTroll It actually did arrive today! I’m going to allow it to rest for a bit. It looks exhausted.

SomeMichGuy · M

Santa Rosa? Charles Schultz town?

Mamapolo2016 · F

@SomeMichGuy Nope. That one’s in California. Ours is in New Mexico. I don’t think he’d bring it to me anyway. In fact, I know he wouldn’t.

SomeMichGuy · M

@Mamapolo2016 I didn't know if you'd moved.

Yeah you are much closer to White Sands & Alamagordo than the California wine country...

Mamapolo2016 · F

@SomeMichGuy Yes.

I’d die a slow and painful death without instant access to mayo

Mamapolo2016 · F

@Jenny1234 Mine arrived. The earth is centered again.

Jenny1234 · 56-60, F

@Mamapolo2016 after reading your post I had to check my pantry to make sure I had a second jar of mayo as back up

Mamapolo2016 · F

@Jenny1234 I assure you, I ordered and got two 30 oz jars.
