This is after forcing login to a store account:

At least they don’t hide in their ToS that:

“l agree to let Walmart monitor my use of Walmart WiFi, including to:

Determine my presence in Walmart stores
Associate information about me with my Walmart account
Improve products and services
Gather market insights about my in-store purchases and activities”

But that’s not enough, they need to monitor your internet activity further too.

For further reading, some greatest hits (the section headers on Wiki’s Criticism of Walmart):

Allegations of predatory pricing and supplier issues
Labor relations
Poorly run and understaffed stores
No AEDs in stores (automated external defibrillators)
Imports and globalization
Product selection
Taxes
Animal welfare
Midtown Walmart

You can literally sniff the fucking traffic and see that's not true. You understand there are laws of physics at play here and the devices can't sneak data/etc past them, right? Default android devices send significantly more data back to home base than a defaultly configured iOS device.
