This is after forcing login to a store account:

At least they don’t hide in their ToS that:

“l agree to let Walmart monitor my use of Walmart WiFi, including to:

  • Determine my presence in Walmart stores
  • Associate information about me with my Walmart account
  • Improve products and services
  • Gather market insights about my in-store purchases and activities”

But that’s not enough, they need to monitor your internet activity further too.


For further reading, some greatest hits (the section headers on Wiki’s Criticism of Walmart):

  • Local communities
  • Allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues
  • Labor relations
  • Poorly run and understaffed stores
  • No AEDs in stores (automated external defibrillators)
  • Imports and globalization
  • Product selection
  • Taxes
  • Animal welfare
  • Midtown Walmart
  • Opioids settlement

Also, you pay for your cellphone service, right? Are you paying for the wifi in the store? Nooooooo.

Yes? Indirectly its baked into the cost of service.

While I get the sentiment, I can't help but picture the complaining customer "I PAY your wages" from that statement.

Because it is. The customer isn't paying for the hardware, electricity, or bandwidth. Dude above is a nonce.
