apparently, their systems scan your items when you take them off the shelf and put in your shopping cart.

We have self checkout now, but you have to go scan all of your items at a terminal. Apparently they have solved that problem.

Since you need the app to enter the store, I’m thinking these places would be membership stores, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club.

The issues with any app is that once they are on your phone they can track you, monitor your voice and video and other communications, send (sell) that information to anyone all over the world (governments, organized crime etc).

Nothing to see here....

Our Walmart had some self scan registers for regular orders before the crud hit. My wife got very good at scanning and I sacked what she scanned. Everything was credit card at those lines then.

Apparently, their quick checkout lines with a limit on items has gone to credit card only. We haven’t been in the store since the crud hit.

We have about a dozen items, we buy about once a month at and receive at Walmart’s pickup stations. The ordering is done via my chromebook computer from our family room, and we pick what credit card to use.
