I had no idea Wal Mart had a membership thing going! This may trigger other retailers following suit. The thing is, this scan and go app requires honesty. If they think thefts were up because of self checkout, guess what's gonna happen when people can check out using their phones 🤦🏻♀️.
I try to never go in a Walmart. Even before this new development I hated trying to check out. I loathe their self-checkout and there were few regular checkouts. I got suckered into buying that membership one year because I thought I could get better free delivery service through it. Didn't turn out so great so I cancelled three months in but of course there was no refund for the remaining months.
BTW, Sam's Club has had an app for "scan and go" for a couple of years now. The app and process work flawlessly. You already have their membership if you're shopping there and they don't charge more for this service. Since I don't usually buy many things at a time, it's good to be able to skip waiting in line behind people with huge carts of stuff. They also still have standard self-checkout and lanes with cashiers. I much prefer Sam's Club over Costco because they create a much easier experience for the number of ways to shop without having to deal with massive crowds. I loathe self-checkout at Costco and they don't have curbside.
YES!!! "Dumb as hell"! You got it exactly right and telling the story IS the answer (over and over again!) Thanks for continuing to be this needed voice.
