Customers Threaten To ‘Boycott’ Walmart Over Its Payment Method Policy: ‘Unhinged’
October 23, 2024 by Justine Schwartz
Walmart is continuing to be on the receiving end of its customer’s ire as the Arkansas-based box store refuses to accept Apple Pay in store.
Customers are “furious” and saying that, “this is why I don’t shop at Walmart” on social media in response to the U.S. retailer being one of the last remaining businesses in the country to not use the convenient mobile method in stores. Instead, Walmart continues to promote its own mobile payment system, Walmart Pay.
Along with companies like Arby’s, Applebees, and Hobby Lobby, Walmart continues to not accept the popular automatic payment method Apple in its over 4,000 locations. Home Depot was also famously a holdout on the Apple payment method, having partnered with Paypal, but even they have reportedly started “quietly” rolling out acceptance of the method in select stores this month. It’s your turn, Walmart!
