Walmart expands speedier checkout - pay in the aisles instead
Walmart will be rolling out a program that allows its staff to check out customers and provide receipts right on the spot in the busiest sections of the store.
The worlds largest retailer first tested the service in its Lawn & Garden Centers in more than 350 stores this past fall, which fared well, according to Steve Bratspies, the companys chief merchandising officer in the U.S.
The new service is for customers who have a few items and want to check out quickly, Walmart says. Staff, armed with mobile devices and Bluetooth printers, will help customers pay by swiping their credit card and provide them with a paper or electronic receipt.
The moves come as Walmart, like other retailers, have been trying new ways to speed up the checkout process long a source of frustration for shoppers. Theyre under increasing pressure as online behemoth Amazon.com expands cashier-less stores.
