I’ve been watching the Amazon vs Walmart race for some time.
Walmart aced it with in store shoppers and parking lot delivery. Walmart has gone through quite a few adjustments to shave costs.
If you check out several Walmarts while traveling it’s obvious they’ve tailored the approach based on sales and location.
Walmart mostly uses their own drivers for trucking. Amazon hires other to haul the dick boxes.
Amazon has a long way to go to compete with Walmart’s grocery operation.
I have a distribution center near me and I have never seen it so busy.
I think the major feed is in SC south of Monroe, NC

They have apparently suspended pick up. They notified me last night that the order I placed on Sunday would not be filled this morning. I just checked and you get a message that there are no available pick up times. I suspect that lack of inventory is the main reason.
