In fact, I don't use apps in this way at all. I do know for sure that I have never even downloaded the Walmart app (I just looked through my Google Play history to confirm). I don't know about the QR code, but I cannot remember ever scanning one. I can absolutely, positively, without a doubt, confirm that I have never paid using the Walmart app. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm over-reacting, but I value my personal privacy above everything else, and this breaches a division of identity and privacy that I have intentionally worked to maintain. I'm angry because I actually _enjoyed_ my time with the company & my co-workers, and it is both irritating and frustrating that WM has betrayed my trust in this way. I was a cashier & CSM for WalMart a decade ago, before I went to college for CS (finishing up my PhD now). Any frustrations that I express are not directed at you personally. I turned off 'Personalized Experience' under 'Your Account > Communications and Privacy', but the 'Ready to reorder?' block is still on the front page. The most important thing is, though, WHY CAN'T I TURN THIS OFF?!?

But, more importantly, I didn't expect my private purchase history to be laid out publicly, either, on the main front page.

I had not visited the website in a LONG time, so I most certainly didn't expect to still be logged in. XYZ was just a food item, but this was CREEPY, that walmart was showing last week's in-store purchase ONLINE, without my permission! I found this out when I walked out of the room & a friend got bored and decided to use my laptop to find who was selling a specific amiibo, and when I came into the room, he asked, 'hey, why did you buy XYZ?'. Now, they will share your personal, in-store purchases with whomever is able to see your browser window. We have long known that Walmart is tracking your purchases, and that they are trying to compete with Amazon.
