I think “when I get to this store” is still a time. Android used to be able to handle reminding you “when” you got to a place, but I guess they dropped that feature. So IMO this is on the assistant for not doing what it used to do.
That’s not a time, that’s an event. The event can happen at a specific time, but you only know that time after the fact. So you want the assistant to react to an event, which it apparently doesn’t support.
It used to support it though. I could tell it to remind me of something when I got home or something like that, and it’d pop up the reminder when the GPS coordinates matched up.
No idea if they removed that functionality (you never know with Google), or if Assistant is just being shitty here. Either way, something changed somewhere along the line.
It’s a time, but it’s an unspecified one. It very specifically stated “say what time you want your reminder” after a location was given, indicating that doing it by location wasn’t an option. The user wasn’t paying enough attention.
I think what’s key here is that you used to be able to do this. I used to use Google assistant regularly and I feel like I’ve discovered dropped features through frustrated exchanges like this. It’s easy to miss that it specifically asked for time when you’re in autopilot mode and expecting that if there’s an error, it just misheard you
