Walmart Surprises Shoppers By Quietly Changing Their Popular Coupon Policy

Walmart has discreetly altered its well-known coupon policy, limiting the types and quantities of coupons that dedicated shoppers can redeem, as B105 reports.
The outlet wrote that Minnesota Walmart stores have introduced restrictions on similar coupons and will no longer manually approve any that the system declines.
Additionally, The Street notes that the major retailer is implementing changes to its self-checkout system to reduce theft. The updated process employs advanced technology that identifies products without needing to scan the barcode, utilizing hidden codes embedded in the packaging.
This innovation not only enhances security but also speeds up the self-checkout experience by recognizing multiple items simultaneously. Walmart’s latest store innovation could be a win for paying customers but a nightmare for shoplifters.
In a TikTok video that has garnered over 200,000 views, a shopper demonstrated how she scanned Great Value products at a Walmart self-checkout without needing a barcode.
