Walmart piloting ‘Check Out With Me’

To streamline the shopping process for its customers, Bentonville, Ark.-based Walmart is testing a new program called “Check Out With Me” in the lawn & garden centers of more than 350 Walmart stores across the country — in time for the busy spring season, the retailer announced in a statement. Outfitted with cellular devices and Bluetooth printers, lawn & garden associates in select stores can check out customers and provide a receipt on the spot.

“Customers no longer need to venture inside the physical store to pay for items like mulch, soil and flowers, saving them valuable time,” Walmart said in the press release.

“As we continue to test this new process, we’ll be listening to our customers and working on ways to bring their expectations to life,” the retailer added. “Check Out With Me is the latest example of our commitment to deliver a more convenient shopping experience that saves our customers time.”
