      Walmart forces its customers to use ‘Walmart Pay’ tied to a Walmart account in the Walmart app instead of a standard contactless payment system.

      America didn’t have widespread contactless payments until Covid started. Covid surged adoption here, but Walmart is the only big box retailer holdout left that I can think of. Walmart wants to sell your data, and that’s harder if you use emulated card numbers (contactless payments or Apple-like cards with no set number).
