Have you considered that Samsung pay may COST Walmart more than other methods?
Walmart keeps its prices low by driving down their costs. Companies are forced to change packaging and content in order to make it through their buying process.
Ever wonder why products have X number of units in a box? Most of the time it has to do with how Walmart stocks their trucks and shelves. A 1% improvement in their cost-supply-chain translates into tens of millions of dollars.
Do you think Samsung pay—which has to make money by being the middle man—is charging more than the MasterCard or Visa Network? You better believe they do.
Cutting out the middleman has been Walmart’s most effective management tool for 50 years or more.
Walmart will listen to their customers. But if you are pulling out your credit card and using it —despite it being “less secure” to you...then you are proving their point.
Walmart is studied at Grad schools all over the world. There is a reason why some people hate them—they do not tolerate inefficiency and they are “machine like.”
“You” just happen to be “the victim” today.
