Author Topic: [NEWS] Walmart is taking a direct shot at Amazon and making checkout lanes obsol  (Read 4261 times)

today i woke up to the alarming sound of my alarm clock and put on my clothes via android gf and brushed my teeth with an electric toothbrush. i went to the lg fridge to grab some whole milk when i realized stuff we dont have any. i grab my keys, kiss my gf adios and get in my tesla model s. it's great i don't even have to do anything it drives on its own. i get to walmart and make fun of people who haven't taken on to get better technology like the cavepeople they are and grab milk. i go to self-checkout because stinky old people died when the ceo told them to piss off and buy milk. i wave goodbye to old lady 1010101 and go home to faceforget my gf in her powerpusillanimous individual while my terminator child babbled code into his junk to download procrastination. i finish the day by pouring milk to short circuit my cyborg family and shoot myself with a 12 gauge kurt cobain style.
Simply epic, can I save this?

who the forget still goes to stores to shop lmfao

impatient people

and people like me who enjoy the company of strangers. especially black friday sales events. love the energy of the crowd


are you handicapped or can you not read, the technology detailed in the OP is a phone app that allows you to scan and checkout items in store, not full on browse stuff like amazon.
it allows for people to walk in the store, scan stuff as they shop, then instantly check out and leave.
if you don't see the obvious advantage of this you are actually braindead-

Exactly. That is my loving point.
If you go through the effort to go to a store in person, why would you use a smart device that ALSO has the ability to order those same things from your house?

Just stay home. Going to a physical store at all should be fazed out with this technology, not updated by it.

this has been around for like 5+ in europe and the uk, you go round scanning your items as you go shopping then you pay on your way out

Oh? How is it?
Do you use it at all?

Exactly. That is my loving point.

ok I see your point now, i guess I was just misinterpreting what you where saying

the point of this is not to innovate, it's to get you to wade through their shelves and shelves of products to spend more than you intended to coming in

not everybody is a 1% fat cat who has the money to spend on shipping and handling every time they need to buy milk and eggs from the local grocery store, everybody is always going to go to a store no matter what technology is invented to phase it out somehow.

eggs at brick and mortar stores are cheaper than eggs on amazon

Walmart more like HALmart am I right beep boop *sci fi sounds*

Lmao, my mom uses the new pick up station they added to all of the nearby walmarts. I honestly don't see the appeal, but I'm not a homeowner or a homemaker yet, so what do I know.

Might be cheaper than paying for a new phone though.

They spending gas to go to the store which is more expensive than shipping and handling sometimes.

Oh? How is it?
Do you use it at all?
never used it cause you need to sign up for it and pay a membership fee i think, but you walk in and get this portable scanner with a screen on it, then you go round scanning your items as you put them in your cart, then when finished you go to a special self checkout area where you scan the scanner and you simply pay and leave, probably saves you a few minutes
