Is it that they don’t trust it or is it that they are waiting until they have a fully-realized plan before they spend the money to implement it.
As far as Sam’s, we shop there and once you check out, they don’t check your receipt anymore. They just wave you past them to the exit. I don’t even know why they’re standing by the exit anymore beyond some bureaucratic thing where they just haven’t gotten around to eliminating the job yet.
Neither. They want people to use Walmart Pay so that they can avoid all fees and have complete control. Using NFC means using one of the other pay services that they don’t control.
There’s a point of diminishing returns with Walmart Pay. Eventually they will reach a point where the sign-ups will drop to a trickle and I think they are aware of that. So I think they will have this ready when they know Walmart Pay is no longer enough.
Walmart hasn’t even updated to nfc use yet, that goes for Walmart and Lowe’s Home Improvement. No idea on Sam’s. I don’t shop there.
I don’t know why, but it has to be some internal reason they don’t trust it.
