I don't know about you, but I get annoyed that I still can't use NFC at checkout. It's 2023, tap to pay has been around in the US since 2016 and much longer in Europe.
They want you to use Walmart Pay in the Walmart app. That's the only contactless way you can pay there. It's not horrible but you need have an Internet connection to use it.
Do the stores not have free WiFi? I've never been in a Walmart, but all bigger stores here in Europe have WiFi.
They do have WiFi.
