You still have cash, right?

@@vadnegru Yes but even street performers take tips using a card machine. You can buy a card machine at a local shop too for cheap

You don’t have to give your information, 90% of stores accept Apple Pay or some other form like Google Pay, it’s really only Walmart that I’ve seen without it. Or you could just carry around your debit card and use it.

@@danm4320 tinfoil hats say that cash is the only true private way to pay. Phone payments seems like a good alternative to cards, but still, you give data to them instead of shop.

I think a reason is, that in europe credit card fees are limited by law. Some smaller shops in germany do not accept credit cards, but accept german debit cards, because the fees are limited to 0.5 €. That is a reason why many shops accept card payments only above a certain ammount.

Bruh even Walmart wants our data

So if you use contactless pay stores can't get your data?

@@turtato2155 when you use contactless pay, all you’re doing is providing payment information. Not even your real card info is used, instead a transaction-specific, one-time code is generated to process the payment in order to reduce fraud. Whereas with their proprietary “payment apps” you have to create a profile and input any and all information they require which is just super convenient for them :)

@@themutedoutcasts Very true. And as the #1 retailer they can get away with it. It's either shop there or spend more money somewhere else.

This very excellently said. Many people don't know specific person data is one of the most valuable if not the most valuable commodity there is. What a billion people can be predicted to be enticed to buy on a weekly and daily basis is a pure cash machine. Apple is an oddity in this regard as they collect very little specific person data. To be sure, Apple does collect a lot of data in the form of anonymized data. This is not specific to a name but is collected as a general geo area and demo group data. This is valuable but is is not close to the value of the specific to the person data. And this specific to the person data is trying to be vacuumed up by almost every place someone frequents, most definitely including Walmart.

Same !! My area the 2 Walmart locations just got Apple Pay over the Covid era.

I think now all of them do due to covid contactless payment Dilma

Yeah but unfortunately our gov just passed a bill where the retailer could pass the credit card fees to the costumers instead of them paying it. We still lost at the end if we keep supporting these greedy companies.

@@rigelibarra duh because how do think they pay for those rewards. By all of us pay for them.

Except that Walmart makes a full 3D render with their 4 eye level cameras. It's essentially a finger print. Once you check out, they tie that info to you and mark you at any store including Walmart pharmacies. They also make guesses on what illnesses people have.

Only in the US, they accept Apple Pay in Canada

@@markIrSa No, not only in the US. They don’t accept apple pay in any of the countries where they have stores, including Mexico and other parts of Latin america, except in Canada. In Canada they had to relent because it was mandated by the card networks, so they were cornered between accepting apple pay/contactless or going cash only. Elsewhere, they still have contactless disabled.

@@aba792000 That’s actually pretty interesting, thanks :) and good to know. Ive been wondering why all of a sudden we got contactless at Walmart

just use cash.

@@filmaker256 No thanks,. I’d rather take my business elsewhere.

I try to not buy at Walmart because they literally sells cheap stuff even if it’s branded. Somehow it’s the cheap version or the bad one. It may be my local Walmart but every time I buy something from there, I get a bad product

Same with Kroger/Ralphs

Do they accept credit / debit cards?

I feel the same way, but Walmart’s Fruit Smiles are just too good to live without.

Get their App. It’s simple to use. I use my on my iPhone.

Even my local car wash has contactless payments with Apple Pay and Google pay. Their solution to the transaction fee raise each washed by a buck.

I work at another big retailer that doesn’t accept tap to pay. The most redundancy thing is preaching about convenience yet not allowing tap. I’ve seen a couple times where a customer can’t pay cause we don’t have Apple Pay. So another customer will pay for their groceries then the other person would pay them by text.

Even some corner stores at the most ghetto place will accept  apple or Samsung pay

Yeah even all the Walmarts in Canada accept Apple Pay

So you’re saying they got your money regardless.

Ya and even the ones that do support it rarely work.

@@TylerMBuller12 Uh...no. I just traveled from Wyoming to Mexico and back. Used contactless literally everywhere without issue. If there's issue, it's because sometimes retailers have to hit an additional button to enable contactless and they forget to do it.

Yep, it’s pathetic. I don’t understand it. How this country is so behind on technology like this. I have seen a slight uptick in contactless payments but not nearly enough. It’s so inconsistent.

Germany is not known for contactless payment, let alone credit cards lmao. A lot of small businesses don’t accept cards of any kind.

Even if credit cards are not accepted in germany you can still pay contactless with your debit card.

But Google is selling and collecting your data as well. I guess that they also collect your information from Google pay as well. So isn’t that the same problem ?

@@Mike-rp1zt so ? Bro you're cucked already being on KZfaq what are you about

Google pay won’t collect anything new though, if you had to pick between two problems I’d rather not pick the one that creates even more new ons

MST isn't secure though.

Fun fact when Samsung Pay launched in the UK it launched without MST Countless because NFC Contactless is so ubiquitous.

@rage2 no one cares in western countries

@rage2 Apple Pay is fastest of all just double click and done , not like upi have to scan confirm enter amount , its slow

@rage2 Broad Acceptance ≠ More Convenience. It's like paying with cash: Sure, everyone accepts it, but it's not more convenient to have to count out how much to pay, physically carry all that cash in a potentially insecure manner, etc. Whereas, once you lock your smartphone with a click of a button, it becomes nearly impossible to steal money out of a digital card.

I mean it should be with u guys all the time

Also Target is just a better experience overall

@@ItsDopeSponge target is amazing if you can afford to shop there

@Mrs. Riki I grew up poor so yes I do.

@@epitomicmess felt that. I saw a video that made sense about the too. Target is for people who are somebody but everyone at Walmart walking like “lemme gtfo of here” hiding their face and all 😂

Walmart just doesn’t accepts contactless, not just Apple pay

Btw ASDA isn’t owned by Walmart anymore, it was bought out by two Manchester brothers

@@leoxo4685 yeah if a place doesn’t accept Apple Pay then they don’t accept any form of tap to pay.

“Mental!” is the most British thing ever. 😂

there is no Walmart in the UK, what are you on about

I bet they’ll do the ups route and pay more to take away a feature (ups pays to remove the ac in their trucks) meaning the machines they order may have the nfc chips built in but Walmart would probably pay more to disconnect them and remove the icons.

Here in Canada in 2021 we got all new payment terminals in self checkouts and cash lanes. A few months later once all stores had new terminals installed, they activated contactless payments of any kind, including Apple Pay.

Did you not watch the video. They Want customers to use Walmart Pay so they can know what you're buying.

@@Iggykoop I did watch the video. I’m just sharing a little story that’s relevant to what Greg said

They want people to use Walmart Pay

Yeah I thought Apple Pay worked anywhere contactless payment does. In Canada, it's almost everywhere, unless their machine is ancient.

So then Walmart has some reason why they not using it in U.S. but do use it in Canada. Things that don’t always make much sense.

@@forrest-herman yeah even at school there’s contactless payment it’s so easier

Was going to comment the same. In Canada. I remember and it was not that long ago contactless payment wasn’t allowed so any time I forgot my card, I couldn’t pay 😂

@@ardentdfender4116 probably, Walmart is American so it will probably affect them first and later us but I think it will happen

It very much is a big deal to big corperations and its not even 1% it can be almost as much as 3% and because stores don't get 100% of the products price as profit even 1% can be up to 5% of what they would profit from, with walmarts current revenue & profit of margin its more than 20 Billion in losses

@@Heha323 It isn't. They just average the percetages and add it to the price. Doesn't take a genious to realise that. By that logic no business should be taking cards. Additionally, handling cash also costs a lot of money.

@@DJSV25 You don't have to act so condesending in a online argument. Really does not make anyone want to be on your side when you act like a complete dickhead. At this point I hardly care whos right and I'd rather not have an argument with someone whos looking to be right out of pure self interest.

@@DJSV25 the shit you said trying to sound smart doesn't make no fucking sense. Have you ever got a discount for using a debit card instead of credit ? No ? They don't just fucking up the prices for credit card users. The % that credit card company takes directly come from the profits of those store

Well Walmart is a fairly dumb company, guess they can't be expected to be as genius as the biggest oil company in the world 🤣 they sell cheap shoes from China.

We have similar thing in Russia for a very long time

thats what you get fucking Z.

I believe that Kroger and all their regional chains do not take Apple Pay or historically haven't. I avoid big chain supermarkets no so much due to Apple Pay but the crap ultra processed foods that they sell.

It depends on the Walmart you go to. Some Walmarts still to this day don't block Samsung Pay, just almost always Apple Pay.

Lucky 🍀

When I was in Amsterdam sadly a lot of shops didn’t actually accept it. Really strange. But in Berlin it’s widely accepted

@Joseph Hernandez That sucks, man!

@@josephhernandez8427 That's the problem. Walmart is literally everywhere, even in small towns. And if Walmart were to leave, the entire town would be in dire straits.

Weird that Canadian Walmarts have them but US Walmarts doesn’t..

@@99brendanallen If i were to assume its either because they never implemented walmart pay or theres different laws regarding data privacy or something.

@@99brendanallen That’s because in Canada the card networks made contactless mandatory, cornering walmart between turning on contactless or going cash only. It will be at least 8 more years before it happens in the US (it seems it will happen in Mexico first, in 2023).

Don't be fooled by the silicon valley image of America... in a lot of ways the majority of the US is ass backwards in technological innovation. Half the places I go I see a contactless payment sign, yet it doesn't work and have to frustratingly put my phone back and get my wallet out. It doesn't matter how much a politician will say they're on the consumers side, because the actions they take are much louder seeing as they effect you on a daily basis.

@@aba792000 All cards in the US are pretty much contactless now. I haven't used a non contactless card in 10 years so no real need for legislation

Walmart be living a decade behind man

CVS didn’t hold out long. They’ve been accepting Apple Pay since 2018

@@drdrew3 4 years. That was pretty long.

The only thing that will ever force walmart to change is if the card networks make contactless mandatory. That was what made them relent in Canada. However, it will be at least another 8 years before contactless is mandated in the US.

As much as I wish this were true, Walmart makes too much money to care. unless the law or the card companies mandate the use of NFC like in Canada, they will sit high and happy on data collection.

sounds like Apple

Only in the US, apple is available in Walmart Canada

That’s literally BY LAW what a corporation must do.

Lightning port

@@ABDTalk1 Apple Pay not working at Walmart is a Walmart issue not apple. Especially since Apple Pay works in Walmart Canada

That has nothing to do with walmart. It’s probably the card issuer, walmart’s partner, that doesn’t support adding the card to wallet. Walmart doesn’t get involved with whether their associated credit card can be added to apple wallet. Proof of it is that Walmart Mexico doesn’t take apple pay either, but the associated credit cards they offer can still be added to apple wallet because the issuer (inbursa bank) does support that.

@@aba792000 I’m not sure, I have several other cards through Mastercard and of the same company (Capital One) and all of which I was able to add to my Apple Wallet with no issues.

@@tom.5249 Well..who’s the issuer of Walmart’s credit card?. If other cards from that particular card issuer can be added to Wallet, but just not the one in partnership with Walmart, then Walmart may have to do something with it. Otherwise, it’s just the card issuer that won’t support apple pay for whatever reason.

It's the same in germany, if the shop accepts credit cards, than it will probably accept Google and Apple pay.

Apple Pay -- Contactless Pay = All is the same NFC pay. No difference.

@@brandon8987 NFC configuration is entirely handled remotely by Walmart's Home Office (Corporate). No one at the store level has the ability to enable or disable NFC on the terminals

@@brandon8987 this must only be a US thing, Walmart Canada Accepts them

Too bad it’s only in Canada. Everywhere else, walmart still doesn’t have contactless.

No. Don’t shop there. Period.

Worst of all is they aren’t even avoiding any card transaction fees. Even with contactless disabled, they still accept credit cards via chip and in their payment app (walmart pay), so they’re still paying card transaction fees anyway. Truth be told, they just want to harvest more customer data.

Craig, you put all your eggs in one basket, until sheit hits the fan. For Cash until my ass is in the ground and credit card only when i absolutely have to because i've been thru all types of scenarios where cards weren't accepted , cashpoints were buggy , every doggone thing under the damned sun . Y'all be careful out there especially with excessive data collection.

Today I went to Walmart. No, not trying out Apple Pay (which I soon will start using, I may change stores) and no I didn’t swipe the card. I just used the chip reader - 5 times with 2 different cards! Finally worked 😮‍💨

You guys still use the magnetic strip in the US? In germany payment terminals can only use the chip for payments and cards have to be equipped with a chip.

@@thebamplayer Our credit cards have the chips and many have contactless payment, however we still have the magnetic strips too. Businesses are not required to switch to chip or contactless payment, however most if not all have chip or contactless terminals. The magnetic strip is only used by some small businesses or if the chip or contactless doesn't work at the terminal for some reason.

@@jackfrank303 We also got the magnetic strip, but only for compability outside of Europe.

@@thebamplayer Likewise in Mexico, but the US still uses magnetic stripe to some extent.

No, you need another app just for Walmart

but if you have your phone to pull up the app you’d also have other contactless payment methods lmao making no sense my dude

Yeah I used Samsung Pay and when I couldn't use it I was pissed. I shouldn't have to use Walmarts App to pay for stuff when all of my cards are on Samsung Pay... It's insane...

Krogers and HEB also still persist in keeping contactless turned off.

Winco as well

Contactless, Apple and Google Pay use the same tech lol

Don't Forget Kroger, HEB, Hobby Lobby, and tons of restaurant chains, etc.

@@antoniogrijalva2038 Winoco primarily because they only accept cash, debit cards and Electronic Benefit Transfer payments to keep their costs lower.

Why wouldn’t they be, a billion dollar company not keeping up with contactless payments that’s embarrassing. That’s honestly one reason why I rather go to target instead of Walmart

@@felipelara1680 I’d rather have tap to pay tbh but Walmart is one of those companies that doesn’t wanna pay a fee to apple, google or Samsung and prefers having the data those companies worn hand over. So I get it from that perspective

@@felipelara1680 sometimes I’ll only bring my iPhone but others I’ll still bring my wallet incase where I go had no tap to pay

@@censoredbyyoutubeagain4569 merchants don’t pay fees to apple for Apple Pay. The banks do.

@@DimitrisSartzetakis money goes to apple

True, I made the same experiences in pretty much whole Europe. Not every country loves cards but many countries require the merchants to accept card payments. Some don't accept Amex but that's fine.

i pay thru cash and i have never ever owned the reward program cards. I could always recognize the game for what it was from jump street . coupons, discounts, rewarding cards and all that is low vibration sheit and it prevents people from focusing on acquiring quality food. . when you buy bacon and sugar is a part of the composition and then you get offered 20% discount if you buy 2 for 3 then another discount thru a phony rewarding program . that's what's up . But like for real , for real.

Can you pay with NFT too? Shocked 😂

@@MrQuixoticMusic omg I just realized that I made a typo.

But only in Canada. Not in the rest of the countries where Walmart operates including the US, Mexico and several parts of Latin America.

Same! Even Oliver’s coffee in Muskoka, which doesn’t even take credit cards, still lets you use Apple Pay, albeit only with debit. The only place I haven’t been able to tap is a cash-only movie theatre in Bracebridge. I only keep my debit card with me if my phone dies or I’m at the bank. I haven’t pulled out my credit cards from my wallet since I got them!

I agree that contactless payments should be required everywhere. However, Walmart does not care what we think. Walmart lost me three and a half years ago when they intentionally disabled MST transactions from Samsung Pay even though it would work.

It will be required, but for the US that will take at least until 2030, since magnetic stripe is still in use there to some extent and needs to be dropped completely first.

U were first

Does it look like anyone gives a flying fck

Anything for likes huh? Even this comment

What do you mean there is no 5 minutes of sponsorship for 2 minutes of actual video?! What is this?!

I started reading up on Apple Pay a few months ago. The idea of using my iPhone to pay seemed so odd to me, but working in retail since 2016 and circumstances the past couple years sold me on it. I've been legally blind since birth and 2 years ago, a bad infection took more of my sight. These payment terminals and stand-alones are all slightly different. The chip readers are usually on the bottom, but once I encountered one where the card went up top. After setting up Wallet, instead of fumbling with a card and trying to figure out the chip reader (and getting way too many card-read errors), I hold my phone up to the terminal, I get haptic feedback and audible signal when payment goes through, my receipt prints, and done.😁 And unlike a card, the phone doesn't transmit the number to the terminal. Occasionally, an email alert comes through at work warning us that card skimmers were discovered somewhere nearby. Scary stuff. I seldom shop at Walmart, and when I do, I pay cash.

Heard that. The same exact thing happened to me. But I had to actually download the app cus I had no choice at the time since no other stores were available to me. Ridiculous.

Only in Canada. Not in the US, not in Mexico and not in any other country where they have stores.
