usually you shop online and fill a virtual cart, then pay for it with debit/credit/PayPal, then they send you an email or text when the order is ready. You go pick it up and they put it in your car for you.

Where I live is very limited, so Walmart is the only place that will do it. Since this virus, I have had to use them because Food Lion's shelves have been half empty. I have to use an Android app on my tablet to let them know I'm coming. I don't have a smart phone. If you have a smart phone, it is much easier.
