Every register in the self-checkout area at the WM near me has card skimmers.....it has been reported to the "manager" and yet they are still there. Inside job, perhaps? A neighbor has had over $5k drained from her checking account due to this. Has been going on for weeks. Many people on the ;ext door app have reported having their money stolen or credit card fraud via those skimmers. Some WM stores seem to be run smoothly and efficiently. The store closest to our neighborhood isn't one of them. The next closest is too far to be practical.
I buy more fresh produce than anything else....I did the Kroger pickup for a long time when the initial lockdown began and loved it, but I prefer to pick out my own fresh produce. Badly bruised bananas and limp celery is no bueno for me. I guess we may need to start doing it again if things continue to ramp up in our area.
@Duckncover @Could you please make a new post warning all of us about this. I fear this is buried in this thread and I had no idea this is going on.

For some reason I do not believe that the Cards are getting hacked because of Walmart. If you tell me gas stations and the ATM machine, yes I believe that.

@Mindy D this had been going on for years but never heard About Walmart until now.

The skimmers are not easy to detect and most of the time they are removed before anyone find out.

Not believing this story either. To say that every register had one, manager and police didn't care and left them there is a real stretch.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

I forgot something that bugs me is the way they bill for pickups. They post the highest estimate on your credit card and that is ok--I understand that.

Then as the order processes you will get a few dollars more taken out, or credited, and you have NO idea what for. I had $3.92 cents credited on the 15th for something I picked up on the 10th. What? You just have to trust them your bill is right.

@Sooner

Our pick ups are free AND I get a list to select acceptable substitutions before I check out. They also send a email receipt. Delivery is a charge.

@tiny 2 We don't pay for pickups either, and you can choose substitutions when you order, but it doesn't always mean you get that particular item you choose as a substitute or that it isn't "out of stock" at the very last minute.

When that's the case, it means you get nothing.
