I am not going to be forced to purchase & support a particular ‘phone’ to be able to purchase items at a store.
I use cash or credit card.
IF they don’t want my business, that is their loss.
On Soc Sec, my bug purchasing trip is about once a month. I hit Walmart & spend between $150.00 and $400.00. IF they don’t want my business, then that is their choice. I don’t mind waiting for the cashier. I refuse to use the ‘self-checkout’ lanes.
Our local Walmart got rid of the greeters, then TVs and other stuff started walking out the door. The greeters are back.
They have just installed the self check. The old store had it, but was installed in the new store. I know people that cheat the self check at the grocery store every time they buy produce and fruit. No tags on the product so you just input the number you wish. Maybe Walmarts will be more sophisticated.
I’d never use my phone to checkout.
I don’t really care for any of the “apps” that my favorite stores have put out, Michaels Arts & Crafts being a notable one.
Instead of the usual Sunday paper flyer and coupons, now they’re totally online.
What of the folks who have no internet?
It’s not ubiquitous here in the boonies like it is other places.
I tried just the other night to use my ‘phone coupons’ and it was a time consuming nightmare.
So, I just print them off them website instead.
90% of the apps on my iPhone are weird things like EMF detectors and altimeters, anyway.
;D
