Walmart allegedly snoops on your cash purchases — and no, it’s not the way you’re thinking

A viral post claims Walmart somehow knows what you buy, even if you pay in cash. Many assume the store somehow accessed the Walmart app on the customer’s phone, but the man who made the post says he didn’t have his phone with him — so how did it happen?

According to the shopper, “I walked to the electronics section and bought a USB charging cable with cash and then walked out.” They insist: “I have never had the Walmart app on my phone” — and, on that trip, they didn’t even bring their phone. During the visit, the shopper says, “I remember specifically … I didn’t have my phone on me.”
