Any time saved by ordering online and picking up the order has vanished chasing customer support people to fix something that would have taken a few seconds through their website.

    Links generally don’t know if the service on the other end of the link is up or down at that time. I mean you could have it go out and prefetch the headers but that’s a lot of overhead for every link.

      “The service” in this context, would simply be another Walmart page. A page which also just happened to be one where I’d start the process of getting money back.

      It was not a page to actually process any transactions, but to start the process of requesting a refund.
