here’s a more coherent report than a bad english translation from south korea:

Put the Doritos, dip, and Colt .45 on the homepage.
Walmart was the Amazon of its day. Sam Walton was a big believer in technology and at one time Walmart was the biggest non-government user of technology in the world.
Remember when they cancelled all the good TV shows back around 1970? That was a direct result of redistribution. The easy to tap market was the welfare culture with all the money to spend. The productive culture, now under the burden of high taxes, had no money to tap. Obviously you cancel the American culture, and produce a welfare culture — the television industry did exactly that.
Every time they increase redistribution, they kill America.
Food delivered inexpensively to one’s door takes the inconvenience out of grocery shopping.
Just go to a virtual isle, make your selection and add it to shopping cart.
With Prime, food can be delivered in two days.
Once again, Walmart lets productive America know that they are not as important to WalMart as Da EBT-ers.
They need to redo their website, and this time hire someone other than the guy who did the first pass on the Obiecare sites.
Organization is awful, indexing sucks, and the most potentially useful feature (the ability to check what’s in stock and where it’s located in the store) is buried under a bunch of useless minutia.
Walmart is DOOMED!
Businessmen & ancestor inheritors, are notoriously tech ignorant & tech phobic.
The new tech boss will be given no control, no power.
The old ignorant have NO idea what is required for software.
The old ignorant will SABOTAGE.
Walmart is doomed like Sears. The old guard will squander all money on cruise ships until Kmart part two.
LMAO LOL The iceberg cometh, hold fast! LOL
Is it dangerous when corporations indirectly live off government handouts, second hand? I am thinking it is.
I guess future generations will think food falls like manna from the sky
Wal-Mart is not as responsive as Amazon. Not terrible but not as slick and efficient. If it isn’t user friendly I would go to Amazon, fast and dependable, even thought I do order online from Wal-Mart. It frustrates me that I seek to order online and pick up at my Wal-Mart store only to find the item won’t be available for several days. But when I added to the cart it said it was available for pick up at my store. I had to return a wedding gift I ordered and get something else when I realized too late it would not be there in time. Now I double check before submitting orders.
What Walmart needs to REALLY BE DOING if they are to stay on top is to try to understand the Trump economy and adjust to it. In particular, the cheap imports from China will likely evaporate - so they better be looking at alternatives and even considering slowing down their present pipelines and contracts (i.e., huge cargo ships coming from Asia will likely be much less frequent soon).
I don’t know if they’re doing that...or, more likely, just being complacent and figuring that Trump will turn Globalist - if they are thinking that, they’ll end up like Sears.
Walmart’s website is super slow. I dread going there.
About time. Competition works for me.
Many retailers who go online suffer from ‘website overload’ and that includes Amazon.
They add so much clutter to their websites that it becomes too frustrating to find what one is looking for. The search results are atrocious. Click on price-low-to-high and you get a thousand items that have nothing to do with the original search.
Quit trying to snooker people with irrelevant offerings. Let them find what they are looking for quickly and easily, and sales will likely increase.
Customer-concentric, not programmer-concentric.
