I don't think so. Walmart is investing heavily in becoming a legitimate competitor to Amazon. Not a fan of most Walmart offerings, but they have batteries and oil filters, and as a investor, appreciate that they've smelled the coffee and are aggressively going after e-commerce, but with the added value of having brick and mortar stores where people can still get groceries or try on a jacket that they remembered seeing on the interwebs while ordering underwear.
I go to walmart probably once a week or so. I observe what is happening. It is interesting to try to see how they to react to the changing market
Locally a project to allow customers to use an ap to pay for items as they scan them on their I phones was abandoned. It was replaced with more scanners at the self check out. I always self check out because it is easy and quick
Meanwhile, walmart has promoted ordering on line and picking up at the store.
I asked one of the walmart employees with the cart of plastic boxes collecting goods for orders how it was going. He told me they had a hard time keeping up. Women at work caan go to walmart on their phone and pick up stuff already paid for on their way home.
Walmart has identified and is serving a niche group of customers that live on their I phones. These women should be Amazon customers but have trouble accepting deliveries while not at home. This business is coming off Amazon’s hide
Although Walmart is very large, the company seems to be able to act
quickly on change.
It seems that the great mass of walmart customers don’t trade on line because they don’t have the ability or just insist on seeing and feeling the goods
