I can't believe people are still trying that BS years after Walmart and others flamed out with the QR code crap.
Walmart likes to claim that Walmart Pay is one of the most used mobile payment apps, so I don't think they consider it "failed'. In fact, I suspect they got more users of it recently thanks to the CC from Capital One temporarily offering significant bonuses for using it.
