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):

  • Local communities
  • 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
  • Opioids settlement

It's more like calling your neighbor a pervert when they force you to undress in front of them prior to showering, or force you to go out naked in public. There's no legitimate reason to block vpn tools aside from bathwidth or tracking issues, the former can be handled by QoS and the latter isn't an issue unless you're using your "free Wi-Fi" to harvest data.

You lack empathy, don't ya? Selfish. The world could use less "that's just the way it is" people. Teachers or not.

It's sad you're proud enough of that comment to link it.

No, I just don't have any interest in continually slamming my dick in the sliding door of someone elses willful ignorance and stupidity.
