Running through some of the Watch clips, and I see the 3-point girl is gone. So is the 2-point sports guy. Anyone else?

I've had that happen to me twice, and my neighbor once. I don't like it. If I ask for it to be shipped, I want it shipped. I don't want bags dumped on my doorstep, with no knocking or ringing the doorbell. The first time it happened, I didn't know what was going on. It was very late at night and I heard a car pull up in my driveway and then some noise outside. I looked out my window to see the car leaving. Then I noticed the bag on my doorstep. I hadn't checked my email, so didn't know what it was for. I didn't know if someone was playing a trick on me, trying to get me to open my door because of the bag or what. I finally opened my door very carefully, and noticed that it was the item I'd ordered from Walmart; checked my email and saw the notification. When my neighbor ordered three 35 lb bags of cat food (she takes care of a colony of cats) to be shipped, she needed them within about three days; it usually takes about two. I'm assuming the local store takes it upon themselves to deliver if they want to. So she got an email saying they were delivering it. It never came. I guess they ran out by the time they were supposed to deliver it, so they CANCELLED her order. How do they have the right to do that? She got an email saying it was cancelled and that the money would be refunded to her account in a month. A MONTH! She is a 75 yo widow, living off of her SS. When she inquired about it, they informed her she would have to order it again, which meant it would take longer than she wanted and she needed the cat food. Plus, she wasn't sure if she had enough available funds on her credit card, since they didn't refund it. So irritating. Thank goodness she still had enough, and was able to reorder it, and they shipped it within two days. The last time it happened to me, they dumped the bags by my door and ran off again without knocking or ringing the doorbell. I wouldn't have known it was out there, but my cats were acting funny. I looked out the window and saw the bags. Some of it was food, and it really ticked me off that they dumped it outside where ants or other bugs might get into them. There was one good thing about it (for me at least); they left someone else's stuff here. About $65 worth; mostly personal care stuff like face wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and body wash. I called Walmart and explained to the person who answered the phone about what had happened, then they put me through to customer service and I explained again, then they put me through to another department that just rang and rang, until it diverted me back to the original person who answered. I told her that nobody answered, so she gave me the physical number for them. I called that and got an answering machine, and when I was asked to leave a message, it said the messages were full. I even looked at the Nextdoor website to see if anyone was missing a delivery. Nobody posted anything. So I googled what to do if you get a wrong delivery, and it stated if none of your items were missing, to keep it. So I kept it. LOL You can't say I didn't try to do the right thing. What's weird is they always send an email with the bags on your doorstep as proof, and I didn't get one the last time. I'm wondering if they sent the email to the person who needed the other stuff. It would have been interesting to see their face when they saw their stuff at the wrong doorstep. I hope they gave Walmart a good scolding.

Just logged in before going to bed, and the 3-point girl (with the hat) and the 2-point sports guy is back on my Watch screen. Wonder what happened to them before?

If you see survey # 3264893 Length: 20 min 134 PTS, take it. It only took me about six minutes and actually credited. Short survey on why you email subscribe to websites.

I wonder what the difference is??

Weird. I have no idea. I do have some that start with 2 and some with 4, but most are 3. I thought it might have to do with the survey company, but upon further investigation, it doesn't appear to be.
